use the debug build that came with 3.6.9 and attach the log

[NickM]

I HATE to sound dense but I must ask how exactly do I do that? I'm sort of 'unhip' when it comes to computers? DO you mean that when I choose a mod I choose the debug build or do I go into my folder & click on the 'debug build' & go from there...don't worry, once I get this far I'm sure I'll be asking you how I get that log you want me to get;

TIA--I'll do my best!

At the top of the main launcher screen there is a target box with a Browse button next to it. It is here you select which build to use. Just hit Browse and then select the debug build.

[NickM]

Thanks...now where do I find that log & how do I get it here?

When the game crashes look in Freespace2\Data. Simply use the attach option when posting to add it.

[NickM]

Thanks...I'll go and crash my game right now....

Ooops! Maybe I should have done it THIS way....

@NickM, click the "Modify" or "Edit" button near the top of your accidental post, highlight the stuff that you attached in your later post, delete it, and put EDIT: removed attached text or something like that.  You could have done that in the first place to save you the trouble of re-posting.  (put EDIT: removed blah blah, then "Additional Options" -> attach.)

For example:

EDIT: sorry about that... attached now.

jr2:

So...does this error log tell us what the problem with IDOH3 is & how I can solve it?

TIA

no idea. you'll have to wait for someone who actually can read that.

soz. -- Ask me how to fix your computer or install the game, not how to deal with the inner workings of FS SCP.  I'm no good at coding.

[NickM]

No prob Jr2; I'll just wait for someone to eyeball the info & get back to me RE: what can be done...I've finished the OTHER 3 parts so I'm hoping to be able to complete chapter 3....I STILL wanna see what them slayer torpedoes can do!

Wrong log. The one I wanted is called FS2_Open.log and lives in your data folder.

[NickM]

K:

I keep getting the following error when I try to attach the log;

fs2_open.rar.log.
You cannot upload that type of file. The only allowed extensions are 7z,gz,rar,zip,gif,jpg,jpeg,png,txt,tbl,tbm,fsm,fs2,fsc,fc2.

NickM

PS: Maybe I can email it direct to you?

Just throw the log in a .zip file (in Windows, right click and Send To -> Compressed Folder) and attach it.

[NickM]

Crud! NOW I'm getting THIS error:

The upload folder is full. Please try a smaller file and/or contact an administrator.

... .rar.log?  If you compressed it, it should be .log.rar 
About the other problem, you could upload the file to someplace like FileShack or FileFront and post a link.

[karajorma]

If that fails post the first 30 or so lines (Up to "Found x roots and y files") and the last 10.
