!!!! ERROR with med mod beta 5.0 !!!! WES Help me

[Ganja]

Gemini, Locutus and anyone else,

The game crashes everytime I use a cruise missile to attack, be it in a stack of several cruise missiles or individually. I tried using just one cruise missile to attack the city and the game crashed with the error as above.

Thanks for all the responses though, its good to know people are listening and helping

[Locutus]

Jezus, you guys are fast! When I started writing my post this thread had like 9 replies, now it has 19
(who knows how many there are when I'm done with this post)

I don't know how it could possible crash with only one missile, I thoroughly tested that. Are you sure nothing else is going on in the game apart from the missile attack, how about waiting at least ten seconds before doing anything else (the waiting time shouldn't be more then a second but you never know with SLIC )? I'll have a look a soon as I can, but I don't know when that is.

Ganja, Sorry about the messup with the e-mails but I did e-mail you the right script file finally, let me know if it works or not. I can't really think of doing anything else to make it work right, right now.

The first time it crashed was when I was playing a full game, that is when I launched a locked group of 4 missiles. I have since started a new game and gone into cheat mode and fired a single and locked group of missiles but unfortunately still the same problem. Could it happen if no enemy units are in the city??

[Locutus]

Well, no matter how this turns out, at least this thread is good for everyone's post-count (If we'd post so frequent all the time we'd all be deities by now)

Ganja, I don't have time to download the entire MedPack, could you email me the script.slc file from it so I can have a look at it? Maybe something went wrong with it (though that seems unlikely). Also, try the ten second delay as I said and reboot your computer before that. Start a new game as well (I guess you already did). I presume you have the v1.2 patch and the 1.21 hack? I'm only guessing as well, you really have me at a loss here.

Should really matter I don't think if any units are in the city, did you try putting some units in the city to see if it works. I'm going to check something be right back.

Gemini,

Thanks for the script, unfortunately the game still crashes when I use a cruise missile.

How come one script file was 145kb the other 147kb ? ( I used the smaller file )


Locutus, I'll send you the script file ok.

I'm still a settler, even after all these posts

[Locutus]

I don't know about attacking empty cities (does that work at all, with any air-units? I don't think so, but I hardly ever play in the (post-)modern age).
Maybe try attacking a single target (not a stack) with a single missile (and nothing else on the map except for the usual settlers at the beginning of a game). If that doesn't work, something is definately wrong with your specific situation and it can't be something I did wrong in designing the code, since that situation has occured often during testing by myself and others.

[Locutus]

I forgot to mention, but could you send it to w.snijders@student.utwente.nl instead of the address in my profile, I can't get to that mail right now? Sorry about that.

Well, at this speed you should be a chieftain within the hour

[gemini]

Sorry about that Ganja, The file I wanted you to use should be the smaller one. One my machine it says its 141 kb. The reason for the mixup was that I worked on the med mod file about a month ago and had left it on this machine and I got them confused with the script you sent me.

Gemini - The script file you sent first (the wrong one) has worked. But why was this the wrong script, does it not allow all the changes made in the beta5.0 ??

[gemini]

Don't use that file cos then your militia's won't upgrade. But the reason it works is cos the code is not in it for the cruise missle thingy.

What will this actually mean whilst playing the game? do cruise missiles not exist ?

[Locutus]

Sorry Ganja,

I received your file, but I can't discover anything wrong with it (not that I really expected that). I was planning to download the newest version of the MedPack sometime soon anyway, I'll have a good look at this as soon as I do, but I simply don't have the time now. I'm afraid I can't help you any further (maybe Don has an idea, he knows a lot about SLIC as well).
