If I do not select the AMS mod in the starting window the load ok

PS: First post ever. So tell me if I did it wrong

Hello I was just reading the merge mod topic and requested some things you already included here,, shoulda read this first. Also some older posts. Is it still viable to add an Apricot TP? Something classed as a TP but Apricot Style, personally AN M3+ model or even an M6 model that is classed TP would be perfect. If not possible then NP.

Great work Downloading now.

What else do you have loaded ? Especially any false patches.

Also, how much memory does your computer have ?



Gridd, I included the Express for a TP. The rear gun now mounts anything and it will mount up to 10 200mj sheilds.

I have only X3 TC patched to 2.1 , no scripts or false patches.
I have 2 gig of memory.

Is it freezing on a new start or on loading a save from before the mod was loaded ?

[GB]

It is freezing on a new start.

I redownloaded the mod and did a fresh install of the game and it still freeze

I also tested my X3 TC 2.1 set up with AMS 1.11 (fresh install) and it does load OK

[apricotslice]

Are you sure its freezing, or not just taking longer to load than expected ?

[GB]

I did not timed how long i waited but it was a lot longer than longer than any time it take to load any X3 start I did before.

Also I had to reset my computer because I could not ALT-TAB to desktop.

I will try it again and wait longer.

Try ctrl-alt-del to start the task manager and check if the program is "not responding".

[GB]

I tried again and waited 10 min. and it still was on loading screen. I ctr-alt-del and the program was "not responding".

[apricotslice]

I've no idea why that is happening.

Just for the time it takes, try another mod selected and see if it happens again. If it does, we know its a wider problem and can ask in a new thread, and if it is, we know its limited to the ams mod.

Try one of the other ship mods.

[GB]

I tried the X1 past and future mod and it loads OK

[apricotslice]

I've downloaded and installed the zip to see if it was a corrupted zip issue, but I cannot seem to generate the same problem.

All I can think of is for some reason, the cat or dat part of the mod was corrupted during your download.

Try downloading again, and reinstalling.

Is anyone else having the same problem ?

I just ran a quick test as well,
Loaded a "vanilla" Save game =Success Looked like the game froze for a sec but not very long, 25 to 40 CPU

Started new Apricot Start, = Success about the same load time as any new start.

Error report though I did look at the ships and Found read Text 17 errors fro -4444 Through - 4466 for sure and maybe beyond.
So far looking very good though.
Thank you for your work.

Thanks Gridd.

Can you check you dont have a copy of 8686-L044.xml in your t directory of the game ? One of my scripts might have put it there and it would overwrite the one in the mod.

I've found a bug on one of the station types, where all the products are set to zeros and wont buy.

I'm not sure why, but all the total product is set to zero, and so nothing is allowed to be added.

GB, download the 2.01 zip and try again.

I found something causing a freeze on my computer, and changed it, and I guess its possible the same thing is causing yours, although I dont know how.

2.01 changes :

The bug in the superstores is fixed, but you need to destroy the old ones first. Might be easier if you start a new game again. If you dont want to start a new game, pm me for instructions.

The Apricot Wanderer should be properly named now.

The docking distance has been halved from what it was as it was causing freezes in my game when too close to a different station than you intended docking at.

[GB]

I tried ams 2.01 and it still freeze. I also closed background progams like antivirus, etc.. and still freeze.

I installed the last Nvidia driver and it still freeze

[apricotslice]

I am getting a freeze when you try to docking computer dock to a station thats been destroyed and then recreated in the same spot.

How that relates to your problem is anyones guess. I ahve asked in a specific thread, but no answer as yet.

It makes no sense to me.

What version of windows are you running on ?

[GB]

I have window XP Home service pack 3.

I will redownload X3TC patch 2.1 and do a clean install, but that will have to wait later this week or next week. I have to go to work now.

Thank you for your help.

GB.
