Tech data Crash

Hi Guys

Awesome mod having a lot of fun playing, just wanted to ask if anyone else is having the problem i am.

Version 1.1 everything installed (sound Hi-res etc)

Windows 98SE 512MB Ram 80Gb AMD XP1700+ HDD Abit KG7 Mobo Geforce2 MX400 64MB DDR Ram Happened on my last setup as well AMD K6 500

I have installed Freespace 2 to one drive on my computer and Againon another drive as babylon 5,that way i have the best of both worlds I can play both without losing my saved games for either. The problem is only happening on the Babylon 5 game.

If I go to the Tech data Screen I can access the Ships and Intelligence without a problem but when i click on weapons the game crashes straight back to the desktop, i am assuming is a bab5 prob as it does not happen in the Freespace 2 setup on the other logical drive, any idea's is it something i can fix by editing the registry. the error log text starts with the following but goes on quite a bit and it is the same message every time

FS2 caused an Access Violation in module FS2.EXE at 017f:004c666f.
Exception handler called in Freespace 2 Main Thread.
Error occurred at 8/22/2002 22:29:00.
J:\BABYLON 5\FS2.EXE, run by Bernard Grant.
1 processor(s), type 586.
512 MBytes physical memory.
Read from location ffffffff caused an access violation.

this does not happen accessing weapons in freespace 2

Any idea's

Tech data Crash

We are aware of the problem.

Few others might remember what causes the crash in weapons tech, I don't.

If I remember correctly, there is currently no fix for this.
Not that it really matters, there's only very few weapons included in release 1.

You get that crash as soon as the weapons.tbl gets modified. The simple solution is don`t look at weapons in the Tech database Not really an enormous loss, more of a niggle.

My PC crashes when I start a TBP mission with the graphics up to max. I have to enter the mission with graphics on lowest, then once I am in mission, I can turn graphics up back to max and it runs fine.

If I remember correctly, only thing sed it the R1 weapons tech was that 40mm pulse is the primary EA fighter weapon, or something like that. So its not a big loss.

Does that happen with normal FS2 missions?

This is a widely recognized MOD problem. I THINK making a new pilot clears it up...but the Source Code people are patching that error up. Essentially, the Ship Tech area is very good at expanding and contracting to fit the data in ships.tbl but the Weapons one is aweful.

Yep.... creating a new pilot fixes it.

I think - IIRC - it's because the game only parses in all the weapons entries when a pilot is created, so there's no space allocated for new additions.

(in other words, you're not intended to alter weapons.tbl with an existing pilot)

There's a similar but minor prob to do with the ships displayed in the techroom.......
