I am working on a campaign in BAT-TGA. Things are fine at mission start, but about thirty seconds into game play the slide-show starts. Admittedly, there are many aircraft, but I have not seen anything like this in WAW.

I am no java programmer, but this error repeats with great frequency:

Opel Blitz truck has missing files/wrong technics ini entries hence the game engine can not destroy it which results in this fps killing error message loop and usually freezing tracers ingame. You should compare the technics.ini entries of WAW and TGA, maybe thats the only problem.

[vonofterdingen]

Thank you. I have a lot of those trucks in the mission file as targets. I will check the ini entries.

[western0221]

Or .... Not ini problem, but some sfs files containing 3do/ folder are missing and not loaded.

In my BAT v3.3 -- TGA , Opel Blitz 3600 stationary object can be set with 3d visual.


How about getting a new log with conf.ini setting:

Code: [Select]

[Mods]
sfsloglevel=3
It will bring those sfs automount success log

and how about #TGA3/ STD/ .rc file ?
Stock sfs file loading is not recorded in the error log.

[vpmedia]

I assumed that the WAW and TGA uses the same sfs files hence the only difference can be in the  ini entries.
I also think that a missing sfs would cause more severe problems with many more vehicles. Not to mention th fact that the problem only occurs when this vehicle gets destroyed which means that not all files are unaccessible just the ones related to damage.

[vonofterdingen]

I am away from my computer today, but as soon as I get back I will generate logs with the log level setting and post here.

[vonofterdingen]

Here is a pastebin log with the additional log setting in the config ini mods section:

[western0221]

Loading sfs process looks OK, no trouble.

But not few texture material files cannot be loaded , they are (perhaps) automatically generated in each mission times on the disk for Versatility.
So, such temporary work files writing out maybe disturbed by ..... perhaps Windows UAC under the folder path C:\Program Files (x86)\ or similar system protected place.

[vonofterdingen]

No uac issues. The game is in \games\IL-2 BAT. Also I am having no trouble with WAW.

[vonOben]

Hi vonofterdingen

Were you able to solve this problem and how did you do it?

Cheers

[SAS~Gerax]

Remember this from a while ago .. so I just did a little search:

https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,44975.msg504053.html#msg504053

maybe this helps?

The folder structure in the fix seems a little bit strange to me:
I would cut out the 3do directory with all subfolders,
and move it into a fresh created 00_OpelBlitz_fix directory in WAW3.
 

[vonofterdingen]

@Gerax. Thank you! I had thought an issue with the Opel truck had occurred before but could not quite remember. I will try this out.

@Von Oben. I found this when creating the Siege of Madrid campaign. My work around was to avoid using the Opel truck at all. I found the hard way that it is included in German Column objects as well as the individual instance.
