Crashing Problems? Look here (Thx Major Payne)

Borg incursion 2 with patch and counterstrike keeps crashing and its not edited help plz

[The Joelteon7]

Although I can't speak for MaP, I do believe the whole project was ridden with bugs (that being said, it was awesome, all those ships and stations...), even with all the patches, there was still some big bugs hanging about...so what I'm saying is in short, it had bugs and its most likely not your fault...

I have a quick question-as a sort of newbie to modding. I added Ghost's compilation mod to my game as a new race called "Federation 2". When I hit launch in Instant Action, the bar on the bottom goes all the way across and then the game crashes. Can anyone help? Is it an ODF problem, a SOD problem, a race problem? ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

[Sherman2]

its not an sod, most likely, the race.odf.

[The Joelteon7]

You need to make sure you copy the Federation odf file and then rename it to...something and then add the relevant coding to races.odf -of its not here it'll be on armadaFleetCommand, theres a thread dedicated to creating a new race, fail that, try using the Big Book of Modding.

I have a problem may game hangs and I have to keep resetting the computer. It especially hangs when I do a multiplayer LAN battle.
I don't have a slow machine the specs are: -
Athlon XP 3200
ABIT AN7 M/Board
1GB DDR PC3200 RAM 512x2 dual channel mode
BFG Geforce FX 5700 OC
160GB Serial ATA 150 for the faster games like FAR CRY and Aqua Nox
160GB IDE for slower games like Armada 2, Bridge Commander, Elite Force 2
30GB IDE purely for backup
Running Windows XP Pro
DirectX 9.0c

Those are the specs and I suspect it is not a performance deficiency but I have not been able to locate the problem. It makes no difference whether it’s a modded game or not.
Please help its rather frustrating.

Okay, now I have a new problem. I really hope someone can help me with this. Only one of my maps will load. On the rest, on Instant Action, the game freezes and the indicator bar remains stuck at about 5-10%. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sorry to bother you but I was wondering where I might be able to download a copy of your Borg Incursion 2 mod + patch as the site download is disabled. Cheers Andy

Quick problem that maybe someone can help me with.

I have done some EXTENSIVE modifications to my copy of Armada II over the years, basically picking and choosing ships and stations from mods that I liked and added them to my game manually. . .the result of this is a HUGE Armada II directory that was getting a bit big for the primary hard drive (yes, all the mods I added work!) so I made a new back up all the directories with the modified files (ODFs, SODs, ect), uninstalled AII from my primary hard drive and reinstalled it to my secondary drive. Then copied my back up back over. The ships and stuff I have added over the years still work, but here is the strange thing. In Instant Action not all of my maps will load. All the maps that come with AII still work and maybe 3 of the maps that I've downloaded from AIIfiles work, but most of them don't. They don't even show up in the IA window when the .bzn files are in the correct directory (I can't select them from the map list). So then I went to try to open them in the map editor - the program crashes. The few maps that show on the IA list, I can edit, but not the ones that don't. What I don't understand is that these are maps I have played frequently when the game was on my primary hard drive, but now that I have moved it they suddenly don't work. Could there be a left over registry setting somewhere that's screwing with the game? Any ideas?

I have exactly the same problem as you, and I have similar specs to you, Inc XP Pro and I think it is to do with that.

Ok heres one for you. I've added stuff to the game it all works fine in the resorses and economy tutorial but when i try to play skirmish or champagne mode it wont load it just freezes and i cant figure out where I'm going wrong!
this is a problem that has plagued me for a long time and is one of the reasons i gave up trying to make my own mods before but recently I've started trying again and the problem persists. its driving me mad not knowing how to stop this from happening lol HEEEEEEELLLPPP!!!!!!!!

[at3unit3]

I have a problem I downloaded a mod for the klingon bird of prey which was suppose to just make its wings move. I go build the ship and the game crashes, I've put the old verson odf back in and it still crashes I've removed both the odf and sod and re installed the game and it still crashes and I've ran the upgrades and the game still won't play if there somewhere esle I should look please let me know

When you installed the ship, did you modify any of the techtree files or ODF files? If so, make sure you did it correctly, if not, you will need to modify them to make the ship work.

[at3unit3]

The Techtree and The sprite were the first place I checked they all looked fine. The odf files I wasn't to sure of but I had the old version and some other mods stored up and switched out the odf none of them seem to work. I even deleted the odf and uninstalled armada 2 then reinstalled it hoping the reload would give me the stock version back. That didn't work it still crashes when ever the ship is getting ready to come out of the shipyards for both human and AI
any thoughts
