I think I just gave up

[unmerged(5553)]

Dozens of hours of work on a scenario, get ready to start beta testing, and a new patch comes out that makes me start over. Dozens of hours reworking the scenario, start beta testing, and a new patch comes out that makes me start over. Several hours reworking the scenario, get ready to run my first test, the scenario loads, and at the end of the first day BOOM ... CTD. Start the program back up, load the scenario, and at the end of the first day BOOM ... CTD.

Why? How chase it down? I have not created any units, no wars, alliances, leaders, ministers, convoys, ANYTHING that uses id's, so I have not created any id conflict situations. At least half the events in the friggin game start on January 1, 1936 so I have no way of knowing what might be responsible. How to troubleshoot? With no guidance on that and the prospect of hours of disabling this and starting up and BOOM CTD, then disable that and start up and BOOM CTD, then disable something else and start up and BOOM CTD.....

I just don't have the heart for it anymore.

Well, MOO 3 comes out next week. I hear it is supposed to be very stable.

Unfortunately, CTDs are a major feature of this game that we all paid for! Hek!

Freezes and stuff

G'day Fpolli,

I've put my own mod together with a hundred plus events in it and have had similar hair-tearing experiences. I can tell you this much:

ID clashes normally show up when loading the scenario - you shouldn't get a freeze for this here.

However, I did have some trouble with flags in 1.03b - I had certain events which were triggered by flags, and these froze it every time. However, by this stage the flags were just left in 'cos I couldn't be stuffed deleting them, as I'd put in event triggers instead.

I have also got it to freeze when trying to 'inherit' a nation that you're allied with. But I suspect you're not trying to do that on Jan 2 '36!

How many events do you have? I've spent quite a few hours debugging in the last week and if you don't have 100s I can give it a look.

That said, I'm by no means an expert - just racked up a little experience over the last week.

Good luck!

Stubbornness and Boredom

Those two conditions can lead one to overcome obstacles when heart gives out. I had an hour with nothing to do so I tinkered. It appears some of the *.inc files from 1.03 are incompatible with 1.03b. After removing every object of my scenario except unedited 1.02 *.inc files and still getting the same crash, I copied over from the 1.03b 1936 folder the *.inc files. Crash stopped. Gradually added all my stuff back in, and no crash.

Either that or it was the complex dance I did in front of my computer while drinking bat blood and chanting "Oohma magoma Paradox!" over and over.

Probably convoys conflict.
Copy the new convoys in the old files, this should do the trick if you need the old files.

(I will keep the second metod in mind
)

LOL you're a funny guy.

So what kind of new & exciting scenario can we expect out soon dude?

I'm running into the same problem, but I don't have any convoys in my scenario. I specifically went in and took them out. Any ideas?

Im not satisfied with the historical feel. There is a lack of events. Therefore I wont stop playing until I feel that the game is complete with events, and its also why I work on C.O.R.E.
