Crash when hover over terraform

Post by Xan_of_Borg »

Hello everybody,

after a year i wanted to play botf again. Now with the Klingons, but everytime i klick on the Colonyship the game crashes. Wow, best i can get are 2 rounds. And: no entry into the crash log! i've tested all other major races and all are working totally fine. Just the Klingons are corrupt.

Yes, i've made my own Mod, but usually i am playing the Cardassians or the Federation so i didnt notice there could something be wrong with other major races (especially now with the Klingons).

Any help would be so useful!

Thanks a lot!

For help we would need all details of your changes. And what version/mod you edited.

But it sounds like klingon colony ship stats such as production?

Well, its my own made Mod... so i've done a lot of changes like new Buildings, new Shipmodels, new minor races with new soundfiles.

"But it sounds like klingon colony ship stats such as production?"

What does that mean? Each major race colony ship got the same changes, just the Klingon one makes a problem...

was your mod based on vanilla or an existing mod? this is important to know what code changes were made.
have you made any code changes?

if only Klingons have this issue there must be some difference.

there are many locations in game you could be clicking, each could be a different problem.
please explain exactly what you are doing when crash happens. (what screen, task you are trying to preform ect.)

If you start a new game at different tech level with upgraded/downgraded colony ship dose crash still happen?

I've tested on all tech levels from 1 to 5, but crash still happens, sometimes it crashes at turn 2, sometimes not until turn 7.
What do you mean by "upgraded/downgraded colony ship"?

this issue should be able to be duplicated every time on turn 1 at home system

So at this point I can only help with the info you provide.

sorry, can't follow you.

No, on turn 1 at home system there is no problem. Maybe, because at Qo'nos there is nothing to terraform?

same here, I can not follow you.

If you do not provide complete info it is impossible to help.

lets review;

when exactly does game crash?
1. when Befehle/order button is selected
2. does Befehle/order menu pop up?
3. does it require selection of any button in Befehle/order menu before crash?

I'm really sorry.
The game don't crashes in turn 1 at Qo'nos.
But when the colony ship did move into another system, then i am klicking the order button and i am sliding the cursor over the terraforming button.
The crazy thing is, often it crashes immidiatly, but sometimes it crashes when i want to select the terraforming button the 2nd time to select the next planet to terraform.
