CORE2 Update (16 Nov)

[MateDow]

Here is where things stand as of this morning...

We are trying to solve a problem which causes a CTD. It is somewhere in the saved game portion, so the game is running fine as long as you don't want to save. Not very condusive to testing specific things.

We have inserted some new graphics for loading screens, but for the most part there haven't been many changes. If I can get (and post a screenshot) I will.

There have been about 100 new events added to the mod, and there are more in development. We are trying to work the bugs out of the event text file which will allow us to use all of the great translation work that y'all are doing.

We are also running tests with the new 1.3 patch to see if there are any changes which we need to make.

Unfortunately, most of the detailed testing is hampered by the lack of saved games. MDow

Thanks for the update. Sad to hear about the not to fast progress though

It's really amazing how much time you guys spend on this whithout getting paid... keep it up team!

 

[nachinus]

Oh, no, the progress is being quite fast in general, but this single item remains unsolved.

Imagine if they were paid!!!

 

[baylox]

Yeah, if I got paid for this I might actually get around to finishing the Munich chain before the end of the year

Seriously though, as MDow said it's basically the save game bug that's holding us back now. If any modders out there recognize it and have some thoughts, please don't hesitate to let us know!

The only upside is that when we finally do release it will contain more stuff

Post the last few lines of the save file after the crash. I'm sure lots of people here wouldn't mind taking a look.

I bet its something like "Filesave = True" was accidently switched to false.

I do it all the time with forgetting to plug stuff in and it won't turn on and all.

 

[Captain Frakas]

I know that anyone know that and I doubt that'll solve your problem, but have you created a save games directory in your moddir/scenarios/ ?

If it didn't exist, the game CTD when you save or the game autosave...

where is that entry located? MDow

Yes. I created a saved games folder and put a dummy file in. The game would save the eug file in the mod-dir folder and the cfg file in the main save game folder.

We changed to eliminate mod-dir (there are other problems like configurations not being saved) and that solved the problem of the two files being saved in different folders, but not the basic problem of the crash shortly after it starts loading the scenario. MDow

I find most of the save game crashes are misplaced Braces {} ussally an extra one and the problem with configuration file can be sloved by copying the config file from the main directory .

maybe you should start a "please help us" thread

You guys should ask Maggern from the MDS2 (Modern Day Scenario 2) mod (check it out -its stickied in the modding section). They had a similar problem in their earlier releases where you couldn't load save games, which they managed to fix.

Can't you just release it with that little bug? It would make more realism. Manstein couldn't save his "game" on the Russian front when his panzers were getting smashed by heaps of T-34s could he? Or you could just put a v1.001 fix for people who like to save.

IIRC the 1942 save game of Hitler was corrupted...

lol, way to go!

Hehe, that's funny. Wasn't there even a bug in the Alpha version?

Thanks for the tip. I've asked, and gotten a response already!

I wish I could be more of a help than what I was. My mind is exclusively focused on the problems at hand, so it's hard to find out exactly we did. But I know we posted the solution somewhere, so I got my second-in-command to find it for you (if it even exist, that is )

In the meanwhile you can check out the things I pointed out in the PM.

Well, I wish you the best of luck anyways and I hope CORE2 will be as good as CORE1 (and even better )

 

[unmerged(49083)]

Ever since this topic came, all my brain is thinking is CORE2.... come on darling you know you want me to play you
