[SW3] [MOD] - The SW3.Expansion Mod - 0.5.3G

[Lotrek]

OK I give up lol. Cannot get it to save or once crashed to restart it w/out a reinstall. I know you are on to other things and I feel like I am spamming you with bug reports for a mod you aren't invested in atm so I apologize for being a pest.

I'll try it again when you have the time and inclination to release 0.7.0 / 0.8.0 as a mod only download because I think that using your game files may be the issue.

Idk, see you in June's "In development" pest post

Well thats pre-releases for you
Sorry that it didn't work out, should be me apologizing for wasting your time doing all this work to set it up, I didn't even know there was a problem with making saves, so I thank you for that

I'll let you know when this mod become stable again.
And of course, see ya in June!

EDIT: OH F*** I JUST REALIZED, F5 was used by to decrypt the game's loc file encryption, this was something I was kind of requested to do by the russian modding community, I totally forgot about that!
That might be why your game crashes, because once decryption goes past a certain point, a hard crash is inevitable (lets say it was a "good-enough" features)
Im going to upload the non-debug dll file, that will have to work!

To make the game playable again, you need to delete ALL ".loc_d" files in the LocData folder, and replace the old Nocalora.x32.dll with this one
Link: See attachment *Note: Backup your old one, just in case.

Last note: If the attached dll just makes things worse, F2 should disable all HotKeys in the old dll.

Ha, well I'm glad I was able to "help". A bit ago, probably lost in the error log spam, I asked if I should always use the injection exe to run the game or is that a once only and then use the SW3cw exe for subsequent game starts?

[Lotrek]

Well I followed your instructions with a clean install and any type of saving crashes my game. I've attached a compressed F5 use logfile. Here are the last 2 lines:

[ScriptSystem] error: stack overflow

[ScriptSystem] error: unable to recover; exiting

There was one difference with the new dll files, I am able to start the game after a crash. When I restarted, it defaulted to your profile instead of the one I created for testing. There was a quicksave when I siwtched back to my new profile but it does not load stating that it is corrupt.

One thing I noted was my ships cargo was full with I assume was 20 of each ship, gun. ect. I assume you had that coded in for testing but for a new player trying the mod that;s a weee bit overpowered.

Here is the logfile of me trying to save with a hard save from the menu.

Here are the last few lines:

(17:50:04) (ERROR) LoadTexureEx: can`t load texture file: DATA\TEXTURE\INTERFACE\CARCASS\32\pushkalind.dds

(17:50:04) (INFO) Game::UpdateGame: handle Lost device ok
[ScriptSystem] error: stack overflow

[ScriptSystem] error: unable to recover; exiting


AS you can see, in both conditions when you try to save the game it causes a stack overflow and crashes.

Thanks for the logfiles, im going to try to make a patch to make this work, and disable debug-mode alongside it.

I don't really have much time today in particular, so I guess it should be finished by friday or something, if things go well, of course.

The Injection exe needs to be started every time you want to start the game, its not a once-use thing, as the injection only happens in-memory.

[Lotrek]

Take the time you need. A few other notations:

I left the autosave on and the game eventually did autosave without crashing however when I tried to load it, I received the corrupt file error message that the other saves give me.

I was able to land at the station in sector and was able to sell all the items in the hold. My cash balance went so high it went into the negative, then back to positive then ended at a negative.

I was unable to dock with the portals and leave the first sector. I seem to remember that being a thing waaaay back in testing like r6 or so but I am unsure.


I know my taking up the role as tester came out of the blue, I just got the bug I guess heh. Thank you!
