BUG:1.02 Patch Scenario Editor CTD

[Niptium]

1.02 Patch Scenario Editor CTD

With the 1.02 Patch you can't open the Road to War (1936) Scenario, it CTDs ! I didn't try with all the scenarios, but I know the 1941 (or 1939) works though.

I was going to check if the previous problems with the leaders and IC editing tool had been solved. I can't because I just can't open the 1936 Scenario !
That's a major pain in the ass !

Try uninstalling HOI fully, then reinstall, then apply the 1.02 patch, see if the problem is still there.

 

[Niptium]

Still there. I totally erased every traces there is of HOI and then reinstalled it. Then applied 1.02. It crashes to desktop when I try to open the 1936 scenario then it asks me if I want to report this problem to Microsoft...

I have Microsoft XP

Oops, I was wrong, it doesn't work for me with 1.02... I did a fresh install as well.

It is crashing for me also, the other scenarios work fine with the editor. I was able to use that scenario fine with the editor before. Nothing has changed on my unit. HoI has a super fresh install with no mods and a straight 1.02 patch.

I have : WinXP

I can't open the 1936-1947 campaign file to edit, or other campaigns, the ones I do manage to save CTD upon load in game. 1.01 Patch worked MUCH better with the editor and loading custom files - I DID REINSTALL AND APPLY 1.02 PATCH. And oddly enuff the only custom sceanrio that works is the modified campaign I made in 1.01. Please Fix. My Invasion of Mexico and Canada cant wait any longer.

I have had the same problem. I did a full reinstall, but the Road to War scenario will still not load in the editor. The 1939 and 1941 scenario's load without a problem though. I never had a problem with patch 1.01.

I use Windows XP Pro with all the latest drivers.

Went back to Bolted 1.1.

It happens to mee too Worked fine with 1.01

Ive almost got it figured out. Something is wrong in one or more of the *.inc files in the ./1936 directory, at least from the editors point of view. I used the old ones from 1.1 and it loads the scenario just fine...

 

[Ibn]

I found it. The problem is with the UK.inc file. If you toss in the old version of that file, it will load fine...

I've narrowed it down to something in the UK Navel OOB part of the uk.inc file... if you delete that section of the file the editor will load the Road to War scenario.

 

[Ibn]

Found it!

It is the Leader references in the navel section. Three of the fleets have leaders listed; (abridged edit below)

navalunit = {
	name = "Home Fleet"
	id = { type = 13016 id = 200 }
	location = 482 #Scapa Flow
	leader = 1420 #Backhouse
....
navalunit = {
	name = "Mediterranean Fleet"
	id = { type = 13016 id = 238 }
	location = 1099 #Alexandria
	leader = 1421 #W. Fisher
....
navalunit = {
	name = "China Station"
	id = { type = 13016 id = 282 }
	location = 1717 #Hong Kong
	leader = 1422 #Little

just delete the three "leader=14xx" lines from the file and it will load correctly.



just in case its meaningful...

Excellent job IBN. I was going to start in on figuring that out myself and you beat me too it.

Thanks
