BlueO, i actually tried that yesterday but it didn't help. i was hoping it would but for whatever reason, it'll dump me to windows. it gets about 90% done, i can see the images of the bars at the top, the little radar and other bar thingy on the right but no main screen then **POOF**...GRXXX.spr blah blah blah...

I haven't tried the mod pack yet, but the feedback does concern me. I have been trying to plan out a mod/senario of my own. So, I would like to know, Do these weird errors happen in all other modpacks?

Yes, it happened to my modpack too. Though the error wasn't gu*.spr, it was gg*.spr. I think, the problem only exists, if your modpack uses new sprites in your scenario files. I bet the problem will go away, if you put all the new sprite files in the default ctp2data directory. Or you can do the workaround I mentioned in an earlier post.

Blue O,

So, you think if the new Sprites are listed in the main game files that the mod pack shouldn't shouldn't have a problem with the save files.
Does that mean the new sprites can only be used from the senario or does it mess up the regular game files?

This may or may not help, but:
I have played the standard game (no modifications) 3 times. This time, I modified the map settings (more wet, more islands, etc). After playing thru year 2113, the game is nolonger playable because of GU???.Spr errors. I cannot start a new game for the same reason. I realize that I could uninstall and remove all traces of the program, then reinstall, but
1-what is to prevent this from happening again? and
2-after 2113 years, I sort of want to finish the game

This may also help:
Win98
Dx 8
Diamond Viper 770
SB Awe 32
CTP2 1.1
Emperor name greater than 6 characters.

anything new on this front?? I've given up momentarily on using the Med Mod II because of this problem.

This past weekend I upgraded to Windows ME. The reason was completely unrelated to CTP2. However, when I went back into the game last night, NO ERRORS. I make no other changes to the computer. This suggests to me that the GU???.Spr errors may be either a Windows Registry problem, or a DLL problem. I am still trying to track all of the changes the upgrade did. I will post again if I find anything.

strewz:
I am running WinME and I still have the problem, so I doubt that is the solution.
