in FRED2 or in game

It works, 100% sure of that

I made a mission with 200 ships. that attacks a SD Demon.

You must have messed up somehwere.

In fred2; Go to help, then click about and there it should say I modified this version: if it does not, then you have started the "wrong" fred2.exe

in-game; there should be a notice of no support from volition or interplay, in the top of the very first screen ("the player select screen")

 it was working in fred, no pb. in FS2 I had your notice, and even the text in the corner of the window in flight. but with more than 80 ships, the mission crashed. Even stranger, with any number of ships, in fact, they dunnot appear ingame, I find myself alone in the mission...

[DTP]

hmmm strange, i tested a mission that had 200 ullysses fighters attack a SD demon. no chrash, and they where all theire. slow FPS ofcourse like 10 or something.

and have a nice pic of it too. see below


Where the ships, modded in anyway?., my current build of FS2 is a debug build, ("meaning no modded ships, and no URSA`s as they generate an error").

And gimme som information regarding your system
GFX card
and amount of RAM.

and was this a singleplayer or a Multiplayer mission

-----
my mission was run on a system with 256 Mb of SD ram
on a  geforce 2 MMX 400

maybe you are out of memory?. FS2 will certainly Crash on out of memory and generate an Error.

there is a nice free utility for administrating cache and memory for win 9x, MX found here http://www.outertech.com/

where IS thje download page?

[DTP]

look in Post#1 in this thread

[Nico]

yeah, ships were modded ( half of them )

I have 384Mb ram and a Radeon 32Mb.

[Ace Pace]

first thanks, second, if I have a slow comp (660 MHZ PIII) and a low end Voodo card, will it effect what I can store in the TBL files?

[DTP]

Testing a mission with 4 different types of "modded" ships and sees if that is the reason.

-will report back asap.

No, but what it will effect is Frames pr second.
this exe is for users who want`s to create missions that combined have more than 100 ships.

Note; not 200 or 100 ships in the mission at the same time, but 100+ ships arriving after other ships have departed or been destroyed.

More different kinds ships with different kinds of texture means more memory usage of the GFX card`sTexture memory and standard memory is used by both the model and texturefiles.

if your GFX card cannot hold at least 4 MBs of memory, then you are in trouble these days.

[Ace Pace]

well thanks (voodo is 16 MB getting GF2).

so now  the endor syndrome is going to retunr

[Bobboau]

all those ullysses atacking that Demon just looks funny for some reason, like flies around a bug zapper

[DTP]

I have tested a mission with 200 modded ships
all where Valkyries and Apollos from FS1.

as they are perfect models ported over from fs1 to fs2 by
my-self. So i was sure they had no hidden problems.

also Maximum allowed subsystems is at 2100, should be more than enough

My best guees is that your models are to blame for this crashing as they may have hidden problems. send me one and maybe i will know what causes this.

alternatively, send me the mission and ofcourse the ships within the mission + tbl entries.
 
these pics below show all

ZAP ZAP ZAP em all demon, they are all yours.

[Ace Pace]

well that last pic was funny

I give this change a 5\5

IF you are getting a new GFX card, go for GF4 MMX version.

Its cheap, approx US$ 150, where i live (DENMARK) 999 kr.(danish currency, Kroner) .
