Topic: Need Help! NOT W\ SFC3

[nx_adam_1701]

I finished my shiplist part of my new mod and for some reason whenever I put my galaxy class to fight with a romulan warbird, the game crashes to the desktop, without any error message, I checked the shiplist, the model, and even tested each one seperately, the galaxy class works fine, and the romulan warbird works fine too, combating other ships, but me being the galaxy fighting the warbird ; crashes me to the desktop, I dont get it, Im completely, lost

This question refers to SFC OP, not SFC3

thanks in advanced

THis is speculation on my part. 1st we need to know is it when a ship is destroyed, cause tht would indicate a brk mod problem. If it happens as the ships are loading. These 2 ships may be overtaxing your computer. If they are both high poly and have tons of bitmaps, that may be why they work seperately but not together.

Hmmmm, I think you right, about the second part, All Of my models are high poly, especially P81 Intrepid, that might be it, is there anyway to solve this, for instance if I decided to close as many programs as possible, just leave only vital systems online, would that help, because I have alot of programs running simultaneously, things I think I dont need but have collected from downloads and crap, thanks

I yes its when they are loading, not upon destruction

its always a good idea to close programs before starting a game. I have a game that always crashes if Netzero is running.

You mifgt try resizing the texture maps on these 2 models as that would be less to load. If there 512 x 512 make them 256 x 256. Or if they were 1012 make then 512. Just a thought though I doubt this will do it.  Worth a try, unless these are some of the ships that have 30 maps each.

My advice is tell me all about where you got that Warbird from. I bet you that's what's causing it.

damn romulans.

Another thing that will cause the prob that you're describing is if something in the specs for the AI ship is too high for the game. One example that comes to mind is I DL'd a mod that had 24 for a drone control setting on a ship. The ship would work fine if it was player controlled. If it was AI controlled though, the game would crash. I realize that it's probably not the drone control spec per say in this instance, since it's a Rom in question, but you might have set some other spec over the limit. Just a possibility.

lol, well the warbird is from DD, I think, its been awhile since i had it, and It doesnt have a readme,
