Problem with creating the first pilot profile
on: April 10, 2007, 03:31:29 pm
Hi there,

I've already used the search function and looked for my problem but I can't  find a solution.
When I start the game I've to create the first pilot profile. I type in the name and press the
Enter button as followed the instructions. A warning window pops up that I don't have
enough disk space to save the profile. However I have serveral GB disk space.
To retry the creating of the profile isn't possible even ignoring it. If I choose ignore in
window I get the following error message:

Error: Couldn't load pilot file, bailing
File:\fs2_open\code\menuui\playermenu.cpp
Line: 842
[This filename points to the location of a file on the computer that built this executable]

Call stack:
------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------

Can someone help?

Try copying a profile from your Freespace2 folder, I had the same problem and that is how I fixed it

I don't have Freespace 2 and I thought Bab5 Project is a
standalone Game based on the freeware FS2 Engine.

It is... that must be a bug, what version of B5 you running?  3.3a?  (latest stable version)

The obvious solution, which will almost certainly work, is delete the TBP main directory and do a fresh install from scratch.

Do you have admin rights on the computer? How about your firewall? Is that possibly the problem?

Firewall?  :wtf: Admin rights is a better suggestion but a reinstall would fix any permissions issues anyway. Since he'd need admin rights to reinstall it.  :P

Hmm... Dunno if it would help but i heard of sort of similar sounding bug... Check if you have ../data/players directory.. if you haven't got it.. create it and try again.

1. Yeah, my TBP Version is 3.3a.
2. Yes, I've admin rights
3. Nope, the firewall can't be the cause of my problem.
4. I'll check if there is a /data/profile folder

Fresh installs are a PIA; I generally use them as a last resort.  (Well, depends on your computer speed, of course... faster computers make it easier.)

That's it! Wanderer's tip was the solution. I created the folder and it worked.

Thx all!
