can you explain why I might be getting this?

Assert: buffer_size > 0
File: D:\Games\projects\freespace2_public\code\PcxUtils\
pcxutils.cpp
Line: 223

Call stack:
------------------------------------------------------------------
FRED3.EXE 005b6a18()
FRED3.EXE 005b7b88()
FRED3.EXE 004c97be()
FRED3.EXE 0044b39f()
FRED3.EXE 0043478e()

MFC42D.DLL 5f42f293()

it tells me that assertion failed, and it happens halfway through loading the mission.

Is it important to have a specific version of the original program?
And could there also be a problem with the german version of the game?

A version for a different country would make no difference unless you are mixing language files, in which case it would only serve to confuse the user. When a game is converted to a different language all that is done is a changing of any written and spoken words in the game. The simply re-write the text and re-record the voice.


By the way Bob, excellent work. Now just need to fix the beams to stop sounding after they stop fireing and make them record kills.

I thought I fixed that ! (beam sounds)
is it normal beams or fighter beams (probly fighter, but I figured I'd ask)
when does it hapen (the bug I fixed was shutting off beam sounds when the ship fireing a beam was killed while fireing a beam)

and there is some languge specific code in the sorce, I think it's mostly for translateing weapon names in multiplayer

A little tip!
After making a new pilot, don't forget to switch the campaign!

Yes, the new version seems to work fine
Exept that it causes severe slowdown in my system which makes playing experience little less enjoyable...
What is certain is that the newest version caused it. I'll see if I can trace the problem tomorrow. Unless, ofcourse, some Vorlon overthere can bless me with a explanation...
