Title: FS Open crashes when I try to load missions from my mod project
Post by: HLD_Prophecy on January 04, 2018, 01:36:13 pm

I get an "FS2_Open.exe has stopped working" error when I try to load missions from a certain mod project that I'm working on. I'm confused as to where my fs2_open log is, because the one in the Freespace 2/data folder doesn't reflect my opening of the mod.

Can someone please help me with this?

Please post your fs2_open.log file.  Instructions on how to do this can be found in this post.

Do note that the location for the log files has changed in FSO 3.8 onwards. They can now be found at %appdata%\HardLightProductions\FreeSpaceOpen\data

Aha, nevermind. The conflict, it seems, was caused by my attempt to revamp the interface art, not realizing that my new loading animation conflicted with the files for my old loading animation. Old files replaced, missions load fine now.

But can someone still remind me where the proper, up to date log file gets placed?
