Bug help

posted on July 11th, 2009, 2:57 am

I'm having problems with launching my game after editing my odfs, and I haven't seen this bug before.  To all who can help.  What could cause the game loading bar to become stuck about 2/3 of the way from being finished?

Anyone?  I really need help.   I can't figure it out.

You mean it starts loading, then stops? Have you changed the techtrees?

but usually that stops the bar right away.  I will check, but it stops when it is more than half way done, in the same plase every time.  It is strange, because I have never seen this before.

I've never seen it stop over half way, either (except when it crashes). The Techtree problem was the closest I could think off.

yeah.  I wonder if maybe I made a mistake with the veteran statious.  It is a new feature, so I don't know what happens if I make a mistake.  I will keep looking though.

ok, it wasn't the tech tree, vets, or odfs. I checked (and found several errors)but no matter what I fixed,the problem remains. 

I ascertained a an error report of a kind, but this is what it said.

    szAppName:armada2.exe szAppVer : 43.0.0.0  szModName : hungapp

Does anyone understand this?

I'd ask one of the developers.

Wats strange, is I can't figure out how I did this.

Ugh, I still keep finding error after error, but none of them fix the problem.   Does anyone know what could cause this!  I can't finish the century until I find where the problem originates from.

sounds like u hit upon a bit of a problem as it minidumpin to recover from it,if u kept orig files b4 u altered them to accomodate the century class in the game,try to include one file or change at a time,then check if it loads,mite be slow process but u wud come across the file with the error or glitch,good luck,be nice to see it in action

yep, that is what I did, but I still can't find it.

can u start the game via the map editor and drop the century in to the map? perhaps that might narrow down where the issue lies?

I will try, but As far as I can tell It has nothing to do with odfs.

Strange, It workes fine in map editor,  the ship was placed on the map easly, and there were no crashes. 

In all the time I have worked with Armada, I have never seen a bud like this.
