CTD ?

Post by Zovs »

So I converted a scenario from TOAW III to IV, loaded it no issues (forgot to test it out - play it) and then I have busy editing it a little, mainly just the briefing and the *.col file, nothing really major. But when I try to load it I get a dialog box pop up with an error:

Anyone getting this or seen it before? If so what is the fix?

I figured it out.

I had put a ~ in the file, doc and *.col name, that is a no-no...it blows up every time....

As cryptic as some of the error messages are when it CTD, it still shed some light on where the possible problem may have lied, plus the fact that I knew that I had changed the file. Here is the rub.

In the editor, the program allows you to save a file with a '~' or other special character. But the program also, when loading said scenario in the actual game, will CTD. So there is an inconsistency there.
