[REL] Open Horizons II

[raven1309]

Hi
Just had a CTD everything was working well until i sunk Polish ship

[Mikemike47]

Hi again Trevally. I am still trying to help debug v2.1 and found a possible new problem.

Names.cfg is listed twice. Are both supposed to be there, or which one is correct, and where is it supposed to be? Is anyone having CTDs with planes from an airbase?

My original download of Open HorizonsII v2.1 had two names.cfg.
Open HorizonsII v2.1\data\names.cfg
Open HorizonsII v2.1\data\roster\names.cfg


Using Winmerge, file differences show up 4 times concerning the England & Japanese airbases. Missing data in the file under Open HorizonsII v2.1\data\names.cfg. Open HorizonsII v2.1\data\roster\names.cfg has additional British Air Bases listed as British Air Base RAF, plus the Japanese airbase listing? See what I mean?

The first time it happened this way: detected a Polish sub to the north of the Danzig Bay 06:00 - 01/09/39, ordered to open fire of the deck gun, after the sinking of a sub intercepted a message of it's crew, CTD.. immediately..

I started a career again (08/30/1939)!
Get a CTD in the destruction of the Polish ship! If I add to my list of mods IRAI_0_0_37_ByTheDarkWraith or IO_StrategicMap_4_3_for_Parts Magui V 3.0 by DrJones get a CTD when I turn on the strategic map, or when I load the game!
I do not know what could be the problem! But without IRAI_0_0_37_ByTheDarkWraith propodaet interest in the game! I had to go back to the OHII v2.0.
Thank you for your work and I believe in your success!

It might sound stupid guys, but have you checked your in-game dates before your attacks on Polish vessels?

Your reports remind me of the well known ctd happening when a neutral/friendly ship is sunk.

V2.1 anticipated the campaign start to 30/08/39, but dates set in DefSide.cfg are unchanged. So until midnight of 31 Aug, you should only shadow enemy-to-be units (and possibly recon/report them to BdU, depending on how Trevally has set Baltic Operation's objectives and missions), without sinking them.

On the topic of DefSide.cfg, I am wondering if German side shouldn't be set to 2 - Axis from the beginning of the campaign. It is currently set to 0 neutral until 1 Sept, but if we see DefSide setting as nation-relative attitudes toward Germany rather than as "absolute" diplomatic postures, we should deduce that during the first two days of the campaign Germany was neutral to itself, which game-wise would make little sense and (maybe) could cause problems.

Interesting! I mentioned a few posts back that one of the errors found by SH5Validator was about lifeboats on the Polish roster:

Roster errors:
G:\SH5\data\Roster\Poland\Sea\LifeboatSmall.cfg UnitClass LifeboatSmall not defined @ line number 7

Maybe it might have something to do with CTD and Polish ships....?

Hi Gap

Hi Gap
The first Polish ship destroyed 1.09.39-CTD!
Second Polish ship destroyed 2.09.39-CTD!
I acted according to instructions received from BdU!

Yes, I got that error in my newest validator error log from last night, too. I do not understand how to change the class error. I have been comparing to Lifeboatlarge. (Using SH5Lifeboat_Wooden ver. 0.2 as an additional reference)

Both Polish ships were destroyed south of the island of Gotland.

Never mind guys. I had told you that my question was a stupid one

P.S: by any chance, do you remember which kind of sunk vessel caused the CTD? I guess that in Volodya's case they were some Undine class subs, what about the remaining ships?

Can anyone who had or did not have a ctd with v2.1 test this single mission

Thanks

Please let me know if you had issues with the campaign and if you have problems with the single mission.

Spoke too soon! The typeII crash started on my installation now, when I mentioned that I didn't get any CTD I had a brand new SH5 install. The only different thing I did was add a few sound mods, nothing to do with campaign or the typeII folders.

Anyway after testing the above mission, everything works but I get some smoke following the typeII subs:

Does this mod crash make the game crash when we listen the briefing in bunker ?

Attacked at night ... from the gun ... 2000 m ... identification is not carried out.

Similar to these:

[raven1309]

The ship i sunk was a Hog island type A Freighter. I forgot to mention just before that i took a shot at a V&w Destroyer and missed after that it went to over drive and kept sailing in a circle like a dog chasing its tail, making another shot impossible.

[Trevally.]

Thanks for the reports guys

There are too many to reply to each one, but I will tomorrow

As you can all gather there is something wrong with the OHII
Does anyone get this ctd with OHII on its own - I know that Captian73 gets it wil IRAI and DrJones UI

Doing a few quick checks tonight I have found a layer that is wrong and will be placing UK DDs in the Danzig bay - this is an error and will be removed.

As for the ctd - has anyone sunk a Polish unit and not CTD?


Re-lifeboat error - not sure I will check on this soon

Sorry I cant spend more time tonight - I will be back tomorrow
