Spielabstürze

[WurstBrotAlDente]

Hello, first of all, thank you for your work.

After installing your mod, I've encountered the following crashes and/or errors:

• In the Gecko Cave, if my companions take too much damage in the radioactive slime, the game crashes.

• In New Reno, if I win the boxing match for the second time, the game crashes.

• In New Reno, if I have to find Lloyd in the basement where he's standing, the game crashes when I try to open any door.

Then I noticed that when I found the Bozar in the Gecko Cave, it's loaded with .50 ammo and isn't a laser weapon. However, I can't use it, even though I have light weapons skilled to 110 and laser weapons skilled to only 50.

Since I am not very familiar with mod compatibility and to identify any potential conflicts more quickly, I have attached my "mod_order.text" here:

ch vergaß, die neuen implementieren bücher (schemata, usw) werden nicht gelesen. Nach dem ich sie nutze steht in der infobox nur "es passiert nichts"

I think that map update patch is wrong. Are you sure you followed the correct installation instructions?

Is this EcCo 1.0 or some older version?
In any case, please send me save games before each of those crash scenarios.

Which books? RP has added a bunch of new book items that have no use. EcCo also adds some readable items like Barter, Traps book and schema. The latter should work.

Hello, thank you for your reply. I have the latest versions installed, including version 1.00 of your mod. However, I used the ZIP file because I installed Fallout on my MacBook M4 using PortingKit. Do you think that's causing the problems? Regardless, I've attached my save game.

Thanks for your efforts and help.

Weird, I can't reproduce the crash from here. Can you describe how did you install the mod? What else did you change? What version of sfall do you have? (main menu, lower-right corner)

Can you send me saves for other locations where you had crashes?

Regarding the Bozar - it still uses a Big Gun skill.

[phobos2077]

I did find an error in the door script. It didn't crash the game for me, but I fixed it (doors in basement should be locked, but they were unlocked due to this bug). Can you also try this and see if it fixed the crash?

nibasdor.zip
Unpack .int file into your Fallout2/data/scripts folder

[WurstBrotAlDente]

Thanks for the patch, it worked immediately and there are no more crashes! WOW

I'm using Sfall 4.4.9.1

In the savegame I sent you, if you go to the boxing match there, there are also crashes after the second win.

[phobos2077]

In the savegame I sent you, if you go to the boxing match there, there are also crashes after the second win.

I went to boxing and won twice without any crash or error in logs. Could you set DebugMode=2 in your ddraw.ini, then repeat the crash and send me the debug.log along with a screenshot of the crash window (if any)?

EcCo doesn't change any script related to boxing, so maybe it's an RP issue. Unless it's one of my global scripts interfering somehow...

You also mentioned Klamath caves. I've just killed Sulik by dragging him through toxic mud until he melted into a pile of goo. No crash, no errors in logs. Can you send a save just before the crash with reproduce steps? How often does it crash in this case?

[WurstBrotAlDente]

I haven't been able to get the debug mode working yet. I've attached a screenshot and an error report. This happened after the second boxing match.

Thank you for your support.

PS: I just tried using the same savegame in debug mode and didn't experience any game crashes while boxing, and I also feel like the game runs differently in debug mode?

[phobos2077]

I tried multiple times disabling debug mode and enabling HRP, still couldn't trigger the crash. I think it is not related to debug mode, but has some random element to it or exact steps that trigger it.

If you still interested in debugging this, I would ask to try and get that debug.log going. In addition to DebugMode=2 in ddraw.ini, set mode=log in your fallout2.cfg and make sure this the game has permission to write into game root folder. Also you could record a video of your game window while triggering the crash.

Or you can just get on with your game since it's doesn't happen every time. But I don't have enough info to go on. This could be RPU bug, could be sfall or HRP issue, hard to tell with this info.

PS: what about the Toxic Caves crash? Any info on that?

[WurstBrotAlDente]

Thanks again for your patience.

I've now created a new "bottle" on my Mac using PortingKit and followed your installation instructions in the install.exe.

I haven't been able to reproduce the crashes, which is a good sign. However, your mod (see image) is no longer showing up for me. Could you tell me which ".ini" file contains this reference so I can potentially find the problem?

Thank you, I really appreciate your work and help.

[phobos2077]

I've now created a new "bottle" on my Mac using PortingKit and followed your installation instructions in the install.exe.

I don't know what is a "bottle" or "install.exe". If you refer to manual installation, then it's ok for mod name to not show up on the main menu (this string is directly set from ddraw.ini). Just fire up the game and see if there's a crafting button on the bottom panel. That way you know if EcCo is loaded.
