Problem with the peolpe's mod

[serg]

I think i'll try version 0.3.0

You should. The ships in that look better (my texturemaps were replaced ). I hope to release a stable version of the revision 0.3.0 soon.

[Q]

I can't start the version 0.3.0 even after patching it.
The game creation stops at 90% and I have to terminate starfury in the task manager.
Version 0.2.1 loads without problems.

It still won't work? That's strange since it does for me. Maybe there's some file missing in the patch then. Hmmm. Can you tell more of what the problem is? I know that when the game stops loading everything is black but there is actually an error message on the background. It just doesn't show because for some reason it's in black against black background. But you can select the text with your mouse to see what it says.

Anyway, seeing that there seems to be so many problems with TPM I have to try and hurry to get the real revision 0.3.0 released. Currently I'm in the middle of an exam week and after that I still have two school projects to finish but after that I can give TPM some time.

[Q]

Take your time. Real life is important after all and you already did a great job with 0.2.1!
I have to check about some error message, but at the moment I am still at the beginning of playing the standard game. I just downloaded and checked the different mods.

Probably the easiest way would be that you post your current version of 0.3.0 including the lastes fixes and then we see if the error still occurs.

Thank you for your compliments on the 0.2.1 but I can't take all the credit. GandalfTheWhite, Deadzone and Ayvar also made a great effort on that revision.

As for the 0.3.0...it isn't going to be as easy...my current copy is somewhat far away from 0.3.0-pre2 that is available. New comp type, new enemy appearances including some civilian traffic, convoys, etc. I hope to get a full "bug-free" (read mod starts without crashing the game) revision 0.3.0 out at the beginning of June.

And I think I know the reason what causes your game to crash at 90%. In the Main_Enemies.txt there is a two empty rows somewhere in the file. Starfury thinks that the file ends here even though it doesn't. Delete the extra row and the mod should load without a hitch. Though I'm pretty sure that I fixed this issue in my patch.
