I'm getting random CTDs on the first Ravens mission, the one with the Knossos and the Rakshasa. There's no error message or anything that might give me clue. What should I do, use a debug build or something? If so where do I find one and what do I do with it?

Run it like any other exe

[diamondgeezer]

Oops, didn't look hard enough. Sorry

Should I post teh debug spew here or on Bugzilla?

[phreak]

upload it somewhere and give us a link.  its going to clutter everything

Have you messed with your ship tables at all? It looks like a parsing error with ships.tbl to me.

[diamondgeezer]

Well yes, but the table seems to work fine otherwise. You want  I should try it with a default table or summat?

[phreak]

yea.. that "percentage_of_hits < 0.0f" means that the combined hitpoints of the subsystems is greater than the hitpoints of the ship

[diamondgeezer]

You know what? I think it was the Y bug. I tend to use that function a lot... I've tried it again without hitting it so often and it worked.

Anyway, here's another problem for you. Bosh's first monologue plays OK, but after playing it just dumps me back on my desktop instead of restoring FS2. This happens if I hit escape or let it play, and it means I can't progress to the next mission. It's odd because the intro plays OK. Entering the ready room with the debug build crashes halfway through loading the misison, with this spew:

that bpp assert is quite anoying with the new graphics code able to handel higher bit depths, is it realy needed anymore

[diamondgeezer]

Errr... what?
