Problem with Battlestar Galactica mod

Iansidious · #1 December 5th, 2003, 05:39 PM

After the introduction I was ordered to go to a starbase to make contact for my mission.I get over there and when I shuttleover and error occurs.Something wrong with a file not found,unrecongnized error. I downloaded the landscape add on to see if that would help but still the same.Any help would be appreciated.

Hmmm... That shouldn't happen. Are you using V 1.08 of Starfury? If not, do upgrade because it won't find the images it needs. Otherwise, could you run the game in windowed mode and post the error message it gives you when it crashes?

Yes I have Version 1.08.Just tried it again with no change.Problem reads...

TDirectX.CreateNewSurface C:\Program Files\Shrapnel Game\Malfador Machinations\Starfury\Images\Landscapes\Landscape_ Starbase_Colonial.bmp[0x0x0]
File not found
Unrecognized Error This is repeated twice

YARG!!! I guess that one somehow didn't make it in-- it was a relatively new addition. Anyway, you can download it from here.

Just put it into your landscapes directory under images and you should be good to go. Thanks for letting me know!

Edit- The zip file for the campaign has been modified to include this image as well.

Ah,i knew i was supposed to rmember to post something....

Landscape_Starbase_Colonial.bmp[0x0x0]
is in the pics folder, its called Starbase_Landscape_Colonial.bmp[0x0x0]though (or something close to that). renamed it and it ran. Getting out of range errors, but i stopped playing for a bit and haven't fiddled enough to know if it was random.

Drake the game is just fine now.I'am loving this mod

Yeah, Landscape_Starbase_Colonial.bmp and Landscape_Colonial_Starbase.bmp are two different files. They're the same resolution, though, so they should be interchangable, so long as you have one of each.
I still haven't figured out the range error bug; it seems kinda arbitrary, though. I've had it happen a few minutes after leaving a warp point, but I restart from that warp point and go on the exact same heading and speed I have no problems. If anyone can help me narrow down a culprit, I'd really appreciate it.
Anyway, glad you guys are enjoying it. Hopefully, I can cut out a chunk of time this weekend to work on it some more. There's at least two more missions I want to add to it, and then I've also got to get cracking on the next campaign...

"I've had it happen a few minutes after leaving a warp point, but I restart from that warp point and go on the exact same heading and speed I have no problems."

Probably something the enemy ships are doing, then.

I've had the range check error too, but without any enemy ships nearby. I was recovering fighters at the time, if that helps. Bit of advice: add the Landscapes mod into your mod. That way, people don't have to track the bloody thing down.
