Vacquero Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 For some reason I'm having problems with scenarios not loading up. I try to open one up, it goes through all the loading screens, then an error message pops up for about 1/16th of a second, and it's back to the main menu. It doesn't seem to be prejudiced as to which scenarios it will and won't open. One day it won't open one, the next it will. This is happening with the Beta and 3.265 or whatever it is. What gives? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted June 25, 2008 Members Share Posted June 25, 2008 It may be a height map missing, if it is not embedded into the scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacquero Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 One scenario is one I made after the Beta. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Sean Posted June 26, 2008 Administrators Share Posted June 26, 2008 It would be good if you attached the scenario so we can see if it does the same thing for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacquero Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Here's the one I made. I tried to open it so I can finish it, but no dice. King Nothing (Liberation of Carajo).rar 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Sean Posted June 26, 2008 Administrators Share Posted June 26, 2008 Ok, I'm able to open this ok in the beta. Just to make sure - you arent editing this in the beta, and then going back to the 2.328 and trying edit it there or run it, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted June 26, 2008 Moderators Share Posted June 26, 2008 Yeah, I noticed this before too when editing and swapping back and forth between different versions. What you should do is open up the scenario and save it, then open and save your theme as well. It might work after that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacquero Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Yeah it's all been through the Beta install. For some reason I haven't even touched the 2.328 version for a long time. I was able to open it in the editor, but if I tried to test it crashed. Same goes for several other scenarios, including stock scenarios that came with SB. I dunno, me stumped! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacquero Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Ok, so I noticed I can't even use view while in the mission editor. If I try to use it, it loads textures and all, then........ nothing. Just the map screen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted June 26, 2008 Moderators Share Posted June 26, 2008 I think I know exactly what the problem is.Are you making a scenario based on a desert map? If so, are you using a theme called "Realism_Desert_(ME).thm"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacquero Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Yeah it's on a desert map, but I'm using my own theme. I guess I'll just start over, I got some other ideas anyhow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted June 26, 2008 Moderators Share Posted June 26, 2008 Try to open your map and save them map in the editor. Then open / save the theme. Go back to the mission editor and refresh the map and try that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacquero Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 No worky. No tellin what's the prob, thanks though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 You did try that in Windowed mode, just to be sure that there is no other (additional) error message lurking behind the SB window? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacquero Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Yeah, it usually pops an error message up on SB, but to quickly to see what it says. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Sean Posted June 27, 2008 Administrators Share Posted June 27, 2008 Messages like that usually mean that you dont have a texture you need installed. Did you install the stock version in the order mentioned in the faq, and then install the beta to the default spot? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Could you try running "Fraps" to capture a shot of what the error message says? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacquero Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 This is really a recent development, right after the Beta was released I made the rounds pretty heavy duty and all was well. What get's me is the fact that it will crash on one scenario one day, and won't the next. Sometimes it's even a matter of 20 or 30 minutes, between when it won't and when it will, and then there are some that never work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacquero Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 Ok yesterday, I could open that scenario I couldn't open. I restarted the whole operation anyhow, and now it won't open. This makes the whole idea of SB less than attractive. I edited the scenario in Beta and Beta only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Sean Posted June 28, 2008 Administrators Share Posted June 28, 2008 Tacbat is right - record it in fraps so you can read the message. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacquero Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 It's not even showing an error message now. I changed the theme, and it still didn't work? I'll see if I can get fraps to work though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacquero Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) Got Fraps on the problem. Well with my scenario (the new one) I get no error message in the editor, it just crashes back to either the menu or desktop. I tried A Patrol on the Plains (Scenario by Werewolf) got a screenie. Error starting new game..... That's the error message.edit; I ended up getting the same error message for my scenario.

Members Ssnake Posted June 29, 2008 Members Share Posted June 29, 2008 Have others yet tried to open the scenario? What are the results? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacquero Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 Here's something weird, I can open it now. I imported a breifing, then deleted it..... only it didn't delete. But the scenario loads now, I'll keep holding my breath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
