I dl'd the beat installer, and it tells me I don't have access to the entrenchment mod folder (I don't know why as I am the only user of this computer). no big deal I reroute it to some random folder on my desktop so I can copy/paste it into the folder. So everything is copy/pasted into the 1.055 mod folder for entrenchment and every time I go to activate the mod a new line appears under the current one which is UNSC_BETA reading the same basically except instead of BETA it says RELEASE, not a big deal as the text file has that line in it. The game minidumps every time i go to activate it, if I change the text file to read the same as the mods folder the game minidumps on start instead of activation. I am at wits end trying to figure this out. I have installed, and ran maelstorm and sacrifice of the angels successfully using the same computer with the same folder location.

What can be causing this issue? Is there some registry entries that I am missing because I copy/pasted instead of using the installer (something I can't do because it thinks my computer is owned by someone else.)?


system spec's are:

2.4 dual core amd athlon
4 gigs ddr2
9600gt 1gb
windows xp

System is out dated yes but it runs several other mod as well as rebellion just fine, I am using the trinity package dl from gamestop (I am guessing fully updated as I have a 1.055 mod folder), can this be the cause of the issue?


Thanks for your time

Can you go to your user.settings file and change showErrors to TRUE?

Not sure why this is happening for you... unless you happened to get the old broken installer...

[jtanco]

This is from a fresh dl of installer (same auto install issues) and after copy/pasting the mod folder/textfile into the entrenchment 1.055 mod folder.

Edit: Was for removing last name the **** replaced it

[sloosecannon]

Hmmm... Ok... Not sure what's causing that... I'll look into it...

The first 2 are fine, the others are probably causing a minidump. Not totally sure why it's just doing that for you tho...

[CanadaMan7]

Eh, apparently it's searching for stuff that isn't there/got removed. Not sure how that could've happened, especially since the vast majority haven't gotten that.

[jtanco]

Any idea how to resolve it by any chance? Happens with every dl'd.

[Unikraken]

Disable all mods. Go into the game and enable the mod.

[jtanco]

Didn't work oh well no worries, i'll just have to wait for a full release and hope it works.



jtanco

[Unikraken]

Copy over what is in your EnabledMods.txt

[jtanco]

TXT
Version 0
enabledModNameCount 1
enabledModName "SOTP_UNSC_RELEASE"

i can see the problem immediately, its supposed to be "SOTP_UNSC_BETA"

[jtanco]

If you read my OP if i change it to read BETA it mini dumps when I start the game, instead of when i activate the mod.

Keep the enabled mod name as "SOTP_UNSC_BETA", and try putting this file in the mod's GameInfo folder: http://www.fileden.c...TRUCTION.entity

[sloosecannon]

Yup. Some idiot who made the installer forgot to change the name on the enabledmods...

Yea jtanco, try Ember's file... it appears that it's missing for you for some strange reason...

[jtanco]

When I try to put the file in it says can't copy/paste cause file name is to long, but it replaced it any ways? Still gives me the error on start up, and changing text file to RELEASE still gives same error on activation instead of start up.

So i tried deleting the file and replacing it without copy/paste and it turns out I also can't delete entitty files? I am confused as shit as to what is happening?

As am I.

I have no problems copy pasting entity files. Right click on the mod folder and go to properties. If "read only" is enabled, disable it and try again.

FUUUUUUUUUUUU...

Son of a binary... Damit I know what's wrong.

The long file path + long file name is literally too long for Windows to handle.

EDIT: http://en.wikipedia....ame_limitations (Windows is NTFS, or if whoever installed Windows was a fail, FAT)

Try this: Rename "SOTP_UNSC_BETA" to "SOTP"

Then, copy Ember's file into gameinfo in there

[jtanco]

Got it started up, lots of errors still but it doesn't minidump, good enough for me.


Thanks for the quick responses!

They dont cause a mini dump and only require an alt+tab to press the skip button on the report to continue loading into the game.

Those are all normal... you're good to go

[Emberblaque]

I guess that file name was so long that it couldn't be extracted from the installer either? Just that one file lol.
