Hm.  I'd have to take a look at the mission itself then; I'm not sure why it would do that (perhaps because cargo isn't allowed to be stealthy?)

[RandomTiger]

OK, I've updated the exes again.
Lighting is now optional flag in the view menu.

aldo_14 and karajorma: the debug exe will generate a debug file, get Fred to crash and send me the results.

kasperl: I believe I have fixed the briefing editor bug.

Trivial Psychic: Is the 'wierd effect' the specular lighting? Try turning lighting off in the menu and see if that

fixes it.

All: Note all warning messages will now popup in release builds.

Sorry, it seems that the briefing icon problem is still there, at least on my machine.

You mean tables, right? Here is one of the ships.tbl entries that is causing trouble:

It works without any problems in the game; it's just that the debug builds want to see something else at the end.

[Goober5000]

What's the actual error message?

Can you change the text to no lighting? When it's ticked the lighting goes off and that's surely the wrong way round

Anyway I've run the exe and it still crashes on exit. Here's the debug text

Code: [Select]

DBUGFILE Active: NamelessOne 01/21/04 21:36:06
OS: Windows XP Debug, F:\Games\FreeSpace2\fred2_open_ogl_d.exe

[FREDView.cpp,4986] About to gr_close

Just out of interest I tried to see if I had that briefing window bug too and sur enough FRED crashed out on me as soon as I opened the briefing window (I never even saw it since I was running a mission which already had a briefing).
 I tried again and it crashes as soon as you have an icon present on the briefing window. Since no one has posted one, here's the debug spew from that one

Irrelevant waste of space was 'ere

[RandomTiger]

Thanks for your report karajorma but what do you mean by 'it crashes as soon as you have an icon present on the briefing window'?

Could other people take their table problems to another thread please.

And "It works without any problems in the game"??

You cant know that, just because it doesnt crash as soon as you start them game doesnt mean its not causing all kinds of problems.

fs.txt, i presume?

Um, no.. something along the line of:

[Flipside]

Ok, just found that myself, if you go into the Briefing editor in Fred, click on the player ship and then hit 'Make Icon' you get a CTD without error. This also happens in non-ogl Fred, so I'm going to put it onto Mantis.

Oh.  (name makes more sense, that's for sure)

Don't get any files out other than fs.txt, could win2k be 'killing' it for some reason rather than fred crashing?

I don't get it when I click make icon. Only when I try to move to another stage of the briefing but yeah. I get that problem. (Not in the Non GL version though. FRED2_open non-GL works fine for me in that respect)

I've definately fixed it this time, I put the code the wrong way round the first time.

Well I didnt say which one it was but I had a look through the stuff you posted anyway.

Did you run the up to date *debug* version?

If you did and there is no debug file that means its not getting even a few lines into the program which would suggest an OS problem.

[RandomTiger]

New exe up, debug only.
karajorma please crash it on exit and post me debug again.

Flipside, icon thing should be fixed now

Oh and the lighting thing was correct but I've changed the wording to make more sense, was thinking like a coder.

If I click cancel instead of okay on the FRED2 error I get this appearing now. I don't think it used to appear before but I can't be certain.

[Flipside]

Ok, exe tested and new icon works fine, however, I get exactly the same error as karajorama when I close the program. now.

[Jonathan_S47]

I get the same problem here. I am also running a fresh install of Freespace 2.

[phreak]

i think i fixed the swap buffer thing on exit.  i need to make sure it doesn't effect normal fs2

Yup.  I'm not surprised to hear it's an OS problem.... I kind of suspected something was deeply fecked in this Os anyway - just can;t afford to reformat and reinstall everything again at this time of the year.

[karajorma]

Oh I forgot to mention but the briefing Icon bug seems to be gone now
