| Summary | 0001741: FRED allows more ships than FS2 to be escort ships resulting in a crash at load. | ||||
| Description | Had a heck of a time tracking this one down. Apparently there is a limit of somewhere around 20 ships being escort ships. FRED apparently doesn't catch it but as soon as the 21st (Guessing on the number but it's + or -1) arrives FS2 immediately freezes. | ||||
| Additional Information | Originally occured in TBP 3.6.9 but I debugged it using a recent 3.6.10 build (think it was Kara's standalone fixes build). I have a mission and some logs to attach but am waiting on approval of the author before attaching. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

If it's as simple as just making a mission with 21 escort ships in it and simply having the last one jump in 5 seconds in I can do that fairly easily myself :) |

I believe it is but I was pretty wasted by the time I finally tracked it down. This is what was getting logged in errorlog.txt Last safe point: last safepoint: D:\C++\Freespace\FS2_Open - 3.6.9 Development\code\Starfield\StarField.cpp, 1058; [leaving starfield_generate_bitmap_instance_vertex_buffers] This is what the last line in the log was: exceeded max ships in big escort list Really nothing else in the logs that was unusual except for a warning for a missing nebula that I had to remove manually as it didn't show up in FRED. Probably should test that one in 3.6.10 FRED. Might be another bug. With that nebula missing and the last safe point being starfield I was looking more for some kind of background problem. |

You definitely have a maximum of 20 escort ships so something will need to be done about that, perhaps making the list dynamic (as solving the problem in FRED would be rather ugly). |
|
|
How about a better catch in debug mode so you don't CTD? It's not a total solution but a decent shot term patch. |
|
|
I ran it with a debug build and didn't receive any errors or warnings, attaching testing mission. |
|
|
ok i figured it out. The 21st ship needs to arrive late, otherwise it works fine. |
