Many times SFC3 will generated a log file when this happens. It will tell you if you coded wrong. It can be found in the main directory. Check it out, it might give you a clue. I forget what it is called because I am a good modder and never crash my game (LOL, just joking). If it is not there, it suggests a corrupt model.

If the problem you have is an invalid ship, the file you need to look for is the in the game directory called Invalid Ships or something like that. It'll be a .txt file.

Yeah, thats the one, like I said, I didn't know it cause I never crash the game with my mods

Hey, thats great, gonna add that one to my trouble shooting list.

They need people like you as tech support at Activision, anytime I contacted them about any error message, they sent me some canned answer like, "make sure your computer has a graphics card" or "is your game installed?"

I appriciate your dilligence, I am sure it comes from hours of changing one thing at a time and seeing what it does to your game.
