Recurring Shipbuilder Crash

May 14, 2008 8:36:08 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Hello. I've been trying to make a custom ship for every conceivable situation in GalCiv2. Unfortunately, I'm getting a crash whenever I try to save a certain template. It has happened over and over. The ship I was working on was a Cargo class. It's big, but not ridiculously so. I haven't used that many parts on it so far. I do have an incomplete template that did manage to save on to my hard drive. Here's my debug.err:

That sounds very much like the CTD I am experiencing as well:

https://forums.galciv2.com/312057

For me it was a Yor custom freighter. When I upgrade the default freighter, the game CTD's when the ship is built. Seems like a specific ship graphics file is my culprit, but I'm not sure which one or why.

Send in your debug along with a save you can reproduce from, directions to reproduce, and that shipcfg mentioned in the last line to gc2bugs@stardock.com so Cari can take a look at this.

Okay, I'll send in my degug and save file.

I was playing around with the saved game today and I noticed that if I just create my own upgraded freighter from scratch (in other words I don't use the "upgrade" button on the default freighter) then I can progress along with the game normally, and get past the crash part. I also noticed that their wasn't a ship graphic in the shipyard list for the problem freighter design. Definately seems like a ship graphic bug of some sort.

Not sure what's going on here, but I went into the game to take some screenshots of exactly what one would need to set up to cause my crash and... no crash. I finished building my custom constructor, actually. Restarting my computer must have done something. Hopefully Mengy1 can shed some light on the problem, because I can't at the moment.
