A Babylon 5 Mod for the Final Frontier Mod

Ooh, I'll have to fix that for the next version.
I've dl'd your save game, I'll have a look into it.

EDIT
Okay, I've played 335 turns so far and I've only experienced 1 crash around turn 52/53, I reloaded and continued playing. How many turns into the game did you get before you experienced the CtD?

Hmmmm that immediately makes me think I've done something wrong on the install. It happened all three games at around turn 20 ish.

I will refer to the install guide and try a reinstall. Will let you know how it turns out.

Thanks for taking a look :-)
 
One thing I did do as soon as I had got the saved game started was to go into the WB and look around at all the other Civ's to see if there was anything about to happen, population growth or building completion but there was nothing there. Exited WB and continued to play.
Try playing without wormholes (they're not part of the B5 universe after all) but I don't think that's the problem. I'm not sure what else to suggest at this point.
 
I thought it may have been an old version of win rar I was using so I tried the latest 7zip. Unfortunately it still happens. I get a CTD usually betweern 20 and 50 turns, but it is non recoverable. I'm suspecting it's when the AI launches it's first ship, although that is a vague guess as I have never been past turn 50.

In summery:

I've re downloaded (up to v2.61 now)
Reinstalled using the latest 7zip
Tried 2 more games and attempted to continue from the auto save on each one
Removed FF+ Standalone (just in case)
Cried a lot as I was getting my B5 fix back.... then it was cruelly snatched away
 
The game is fine, till someone builds a space ship. After that the game crashes. Doesn't matter which race builds one, The moment someone builds a ship or gets one through WB, the game CTD when pressing next turn.

I'm really at a loss to know how to proceed on this, my own version plays just fine. One thing I have noticed is that I am getting a bleed across from another Mod and that some of the Bug settings from the other Mod are being ported across to the B5 Mod (Choosing religions in particular). I'm going to remove the other Mod that uses Bug and see if that changes anything for me.
 
I've tried starting a vanilla game, disabling all options, start game, quite, and then load the babylon mod. I still get the crash as soon as a space ship is in the game. Ground troops and satellites don't give crashes.
Is there a way to enable the game to show error messages instead of CTD?
 
My bad, new versions already, and I can't finish a single ship :p.

(Tho that doesn't mean I haven't been working on it, in fact, I also have been working on a secret project of mine :mischief:, I'll let you know how it goes).

I haven't had a chance to try the new version, so I have no idea what to suggest regarding the CTDs, just the one thought:

What (if any) are the requirements of the mod?:

  • Civ4 version?
  • Other mods installed?
  • official/unofficial patches?
  • etc.

:salute:

For the Mod to play correctly you MUST have the original Final frontier installed and be patched up to 3.19 (including the unofficial patch)

Thus far only a few ships won't give ctd.
Ground troops,
colony ships,
constructor ships,
satellites,
and the various raider/barbarian vessels.

This implies that there is a problem with the way I've set up the ships for all of the races and yet since I completed the changes i needed to do for merging with FF+ I've not had a problem. I'm wondering if the problem is that you need FF+ installed and not FF.
 
I have FF+ installed. Installed it yesterday to see if that might have been the problem. It still crashes.
Is there a way to check which version of the unofficial patch is installed?

edit: I've reinstalled the unofficial patch, and the game still crashes

Are you using Windows XP or a newer version of windows?

Which version of the Mod are you now playing/trying to play?

OK, here's what I'm going to do, I've posted an autosaved game here that will start from turn 50 and I'll list the start options world size etc I used so that you can try starting a game of your own with the same starting options and see how far you get and also so you can try a game that has gone beyond the 20 or so turns you have played before it crashes.
Settings
Final frontier flat
Huge
11 civs - player race Dilgar - Noble
Isolation
Quick
Star System Quantity Normal
Feature Density Normal
Hostile Features Sparse

Options selected
City flipping after conquest
Raging Barbarians
No tech brokering
Permanent alliances
New random seed
Require complete kills
No vassal states
No starbase missiles
No pirate xp cap
calculate trade route paths
multiple production
productive pirate systems

Victory
Conquest
Domination
Diplomatic

Try this and let me know how you get on.

EDIT - Turns out the first saved game wouldn't continue playing but the autosaves do so I've posted an autosave for you to try instead.
 
I tried the save, it allowed me to load up and take my movement, but upon ending the turn CTD :-(

EDIT: I think I should add that I have no problem running even the largest civ mods out there. My comp is more than capable.

See the previous post, I edited it as you posted this!
 
Same again i'm afraid. I notice you said that the unofficial patch is needed. The only one I can find is for BTS 3.17. I currently use 3.19, is it compatible?
