After i finish the initial training missions, when I click to goto the ready room, the loading bar comes up, and then i get a CTD.

here's the error.log

Error: Error parsing 'weapons.tbl'
Error code = 2.

File:C:\projects\freespace2\code\Weapon\Weapons.cpp

hmmm, i fixed it --- the mediavp pack was causing problems =( any alternative graphic enhancers?

[karajorma]

Which media.vp file was causing you trouble and which files do you have?

[snarfy]

it was the 3.6.5 zpack from coolman, actually

I'm having a similar problem, actually.  Right after I complete the three training missions, I get a CTD but mine is the generic "Windows XP has encountered a serious error" type that kills the game outright.  I'm running 3.6.5 with just the core and zpack files.  I've even tried turning everything off in the loader to run as close to original as possible, but I still crash.  What's odd is that if I run FreeSpace 2 without the SCP, I don't get the crash, so I think it might have something to do with the briefing movies.  Past that, I'm clueless.

Hmmmm. Looks at the mission in notepad

$Event Music: 1: Genesis

Thought so.

This is the mv_music.vp bug rearing its head again Since zPack incorporates mv_music.vp anyone using zPack will also get this crash and unlike those using mv_music they can't just simply remove it.

The fix is relatively simple though. Download this file, Unrar and install the resulting music.tbl file to Freespace2\data\tables\

When the next zPack is released you should remember to delete it though.

Or I could just get off my butt and release a Windows build with the code fix and the memory error fixes.  I'll try to do it tonight.

That fixed my problem, Karajorma.  Thanks!

Excellent. I've been waiting for that one for ages
