Lucky,
A garbage value is a possibility, but the values for all the variables that are created in SH3Weather are output to the log file, which as shown above, seem okay (with the exception of the space in the interval value, but you explained that. Frisky Bernard :P). All the datatypes for the variables are integers, with the exception of the 29th flotilla Boolean and the date/time stamp for the logfile (shown as "Now" in the above description.... I'm stumped...
I've been away a while, so how many other users do you recall are experiencing the "Death Dive" on load of a save? Do you recall if they are using roughly the same mods? I wonder if something that gets written by SH3Weather, and GWX or another mod is creating a subkilling concoction.... conflicting values of some sort that makes the SH3 engine barf....
I'm going to try to replicate your mod setup (since they seem to be inline with what floats my boot anyway!
) and see if I have the same experience....
The ONLY other culprit I can think of is hardware, bad ram.... do a google search for a program called MemTest... run it overnight (takes at least 8 hours to get accurate results, but the longer you go, the more accuracy) and see what results you get. The program works by testing each block in memory to see if it returns the same data that was written to it. Good to do anyway to see what is in your machine, and how well it is performing.
Cheers
