Campaign crash?
Transport Mission: Synaptic Link Location
After loading the transport and flying away the game crashes <.<
I attached the stderr.txt, the dump and my save file.
Would it be possible to rename mission names to have a prefix with the mission number? E.g. Mission x (Transport Mission): Synaptic Link Location.

Re: Campaign crash?
Loaded your save, loaded and set off in the transport and got your crash:
error : VLO parse error: Template Cyborg Flamer not found at line 197, token: -2, text: 'Cyb-Flamer-GROUND'
error : Script cam1-5.vlo did not compile
error : resLoadFile: The load function for resource type "SCRIPTVAL" failed for file "cam1-5.vlo"
Loaded one of my old saves (attached) from the start of the same mission, loaded up and set off... No Crash...
Looks like your game may have got corrupted somehow... try replaying from the start of previous mission and see if that helps.

Re: Campaign crash?
Replicated it again. could that be because i used the "get off my land" cheat in mission 7?
Looks like I will have to try harder on that one... will edit if i manage to win =/

Did you load a save game or started from the beginning when you got this error?ChronoSphere wrote: Replicated it again. could that be because i used the "get off my land" cheat in mission 7?

Re: Campaign crash?
I loaded 2 earlier saves. I'm still trying to pass the mission to check if it's the savegame or the usage of cheats that breaks my game. (Give me some time, I'm not really a RTS player ^^;)
edit: managed to pass it, thanks to Verminus. Doesn't solve the crash problem though =/
If it means my previous savegames were corrupted... why didn't it crash earlier T_T
Looks like I will have to start from scratch again.

Be *VERY* careful with some of these cheats, they can & will corrupt stuff in ways it is very hard to detect.
Perhaps the devs should disable the ability to save games to prevent this kind of stuff when you cheat.
and it ends here.
Re: Campaign crash?
Don't know if disabling saving is necessary, or the way to go... I agree that some of the cheats are highly unstable and need kid gloves when handling them, and ones like 'get of my land' or 'let me win' can break heavily scripted missions, or later missions. 'time toggle' can cause problems if not used carefully, and 'give all' just turns your GUI in to a minefield. Most of the rest are ok I think.Buginator wrote: I would delete all your saved games, and start over.

Maybe they should be split into two classes, "cheats" that work and are mostly safe, and "Debug Commands" that either don't work properly, or cause major problems, these then can be enabled ONLY in debug builds, and a BIG warning can be put in the wiki, (rather than the current "** can cause game-play instability")
I think the reason it didn't crash earlier is because, at some point the unit template for the cyborg flamer got deleted/corrupted, but you dont face cyborgs at all until that mission, so it was never used/checked until you go on the transport for that mission.ChronoSphere wrote: I loaded 2 earlier saves.

If you don't feel like playing the whole campaign again you could try my old save I attached in my first reply, it has no problems I'm aware of....

Re: Campaign crash?
Yeah I deleted everything (including warzone) and strated from scratch.
What I don't understand is, I wasn't using any cheats before that mission, but the savegame before that mission somehow became corrupted? Are there any known actions that lead to this?

Re: Campaign crash?
Not that I know of, unless one of the devs know of any issues.
Its not like the cyborg units are even modified by anything in the game, except maybe the 'biffer baker' and 'double up' cheats, but i don't see how they could cause the template to go missing... have the wrong armor and damage stats maybe..
Could just have been a data error when writing the save to disk or installing the game, but i would have expected that to cause CRC errors and unreadable files, not for one unit template to go missing.
I know its a bit late now as you've re-installed, but i don't suppose you got, or tried to see if the same thing happened if you built cyborg flamers in skirmish?

Re: Campaign crash?
It is a problem with cyborg templates, not a cheat problem. There was a bug which made WZ use templates it was not supposed to use. This problem only appears with older save games.

Re: Campaign crash?
Well, I re-played everything till that mission and it works. Don't know about older savegames, I was using the same WZ version (warzone2100-2.1_beta2-r1.exe) from the beginning & didn't update it since then.

error : [resLoadFile] resLoadFile: The load function for resource type "SCRIPTVAL" failed for file "cam1-5.vlo"
error : [resLoad] resLoad: failed to parse wrf/cam1/sub1-5.wrf

Re: Alpha 9 crash when transport takes off
Do you got a savegame right before this that you can upload?
Need the savegamename.* (.es, .gam) and the savegamename folder, with all files in it.
These are all located in your configuration directory. If you can't find it, just do a search for savegamename.gam, and you should be able to located the files.

Re: Alpha 9 crash when transport takes off
Ok, I got them. Two savegame in the zip file:
1. 9 inizio = alpha 9 starting
2. 9 ok2 = a little time later, ready to take off
Thank you very much for your help and your time!

Re: Campaign crash?
I merged these topics together, since they are the same issue.
glf, did you use any cheats or debug options, or use old (pre beta 4) savegames in any mission before this?
Something is corrupting the savegames, I just don't know what.

Hmm... I dunno, since glf's savegame also has this problem, yet Verminus's savegame, don't have the problem.Troman wrote:It is a problem with cyborg templates, not a cheat problem.
