I have had TBP for around a year now and have always had a problem with the survivor campaign on the inferno build being a black screen with the HUD showing. Then I had the same problem with the Guardian of light campaign. Once i updated to 3.6.10 and Zatharas there was no black screen but my ship was not there and i couldn't do a thing. Then today i was playing Raider Wars and on the nightmare mission all of alpha wing including me did not load into the game. Can someone please tell me what is wrong and how to fix it. P.S. ever since the update to 3.6.10 every time i start it says there is a command line error then goes into the game.

What error message would that be?
And could you select a debug build (the one with a d after the 3.6.10 part), load the nightmare mission, then post the debug log (fs2_open.log, from data folder in your TBP directory) here?

Sounds like a corrupted pilot file.  If you haven't done so create a new one.

I clicked yes to try to the break into debugger option the just crashed so i clicked no the second time and those error messages are the one i got clicking and i stopped the third time
I also have tried the new account thing it doesn't work

[FUBAR-BDHR]

If you are getting those errors then you do not have Zathras selected as your mod in the launcher. 

[djsf35]

I had zathras loaded earlier but it went back to the christmas package mod i'll try it again later today

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Most of the Xmas package is included in Zathras.

I had two errors happen if clicked yes it crashed if i clicked the second error caused me to crash and i didn't even get to a mission

Run the 3.6.10 inferno debug build and attach the fs2_open.log from the data directory.

[djsf35]

Those errors were the debugger and here is the log

Strange this could actually be a bug but if it is why hasn't anyone else run into it.  I'll have to look into this a bit more. 

[djsf35]

Thanks fubar

[FUBAR-BDHR]

OK there is a code bug but if you play the regular build it will allow you to get by it.  Even in the debug build I just hit continue and played on.

[djsf35]

ok thats great but what gaurdian of light thats an inf only

[FUBAR-BDHR]

No I mean the non-debug inferno build.  That error only shows up in debug.  So now that Zathras is loading correctly you should be able to play it. 

[djsf35]

I was playing the non debug inf build before i asked for help here are some pics
A and B are from raider war both in and out of the cockpit
1 and 2 are from GOL both in and out of the cockpit
as you can see alpha isn't loading

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Well your original problem was Zathras not loading which gave you the Warning: Bad ship type name in objecttypes.tbl stuff.  Since that is no longer an issue then something else is now going wrong. 

Just for the heck of it create a new pilot, select RW as the campaign, go into tech data and select mission simulator.  Now you won't see any missions listed so press ctrl-shift-s.  All the missions in the campaign should be visible.  Select mission 8 and see if you have the same problem with alpha wing.

If you don't get the same problem try with your original pilot.  If you do then it's something with that pilot. 

[djsf35]

Fubar thanks i created the new account and rw and gol both worked it is strange it didn't with my older accounts

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Pilot files tend to get corrupted from time to time especially when you have a crash or switch between mods. 

[djsf35]

okay that makes sense
Is there a way to bring my achievements to the new account along with the control config for new accounts?
