Campaign Problem

Post by krfrge »

Anyone know why my campaign stops before the clock gets to 0930 I get a CTD?

Please post theater related questions to this terrain forum. Falcon 4 forum is just for generic "OT" stuff.

Ok you gotta give us more details than that. Start from the beginning please.

Sorry about that. Here is what I have. I took the original Korean sav0.cam file and did a clean sweep as described in the tutorial. Adjusted the sav0.tri file as well. Imported new objectives and units, Setup about 5 priority cities and then started program. When I start the campaign, I can choose any base/squadron. The missions begin to develop. I choose a mission and start. I don't get 15 - 20 minutes into flight and I get a freeze or CTD. Any suggestions?

Have you run all the normal procedures in Tacedit like reset parent links, check for bad links, rebuild squadrons, check units, check objectives, auto flag objectives etc?

And then you got the links between objectives... have you got ground units on those objectives that are linked to the "enemy" side?

What I mean is that if you have ROK and DRPK link (two objectives linked, one rok one drpk) and no ground forces present in those objectives, then at least in my campaigns the engine goes to continuous loop "objname has been captured.... objname has been RE-captured..." and this goes on and on until you CTD.

Other than that... there is so much that can cause CTD :) But you can consider yourself lucky to have made campaign that you can actually start flying, now its only polishing to fix up the freeze/CTD.

We'll get there, don't worry ;)
