Title: Apocalypse Vega help
Post by: Govenator on June 08, 2014, 11:31:31 pm

Anyone know what I am doing wrong with this mod?  I have tried using 2 different builds (3.7.1 and 3.6.11) and 2 different mediavps (Mediavps 2014 and 3/6/12). 

The current debug I posted is for build 3.7.1 with mediavps 2014.

The release thread suggested using 3.6.11 build but that didnt work either.

Thanks.

It crashes after I click on the "ready room" from the main menu screen

Is that in the regular or debug?

It does the same in both regular and debug.  The file posted was using the debug.

Hmmm.  It looks like half the mission file has been dumped into the fs2_open.log.

Code: [Select]

ERROR: Token "15 minutes after Capella catacly"
      6000
      "none"
.....
#End

€ is too long. Needs to be 31 characters or shorter.
File: sexp.cpp
Line: 3251

(note there are some non-ASCII characters not showing up in this paste)

I'm going to guess that this mission file is damaged/corrupt.  Could you post the location you downloaded this from?

I downloaded it from here http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,64384.0.html.  The "download me" link. 

Should I relocate that mission file into the TAVega folder?  Or is it you suspect the download was bad?

Thanks for the help

OK, I'm not sure how that mission ever worked properly.  Maybe it was before extra error checking was added to FSO, and the previous version of the mission was corrupting memory and FSO ignored it :)

Anyway, I've changed the subtitle text slightly to fit into the 32 character limit for all sexp tokens.  Try putting the attached mission into TAVega-EN/data/missions/ and see if that fixes the issue.
