"... has stopped working" after installing KillerBee's Ordanance Shop

[JakeGrafton 0]

In SF2NA, I've installed 331KillerBee's Ordance Shop (all of it) and now get a CTD when I attempt to use any weapon (or raise landing gear, in some cases) on any plane.

 

Could anyone suggest? Thanks! - Jake

Hi there, if you're running the July '13 patch you'll need this HotFix which "should" prevent the CTD's (although each patch upgrade seems to break new stuff every time!)

Hope that helps.

Did You use the Ordnance Shop or Ordnance Shop II ?  The original "Ordnance Shop" came out in 2009. Ordnance Shop II came out in 2010 and is the latest, greatest.

 

ianh755 is right. Are You up to date including Hotfix?

 

Also, Any weapons added to this game must still be saved to the Weapons .Dat via Weapons Editor no matter what the Title is. So the Procedure is this, Add a Weapon. Open the Weapons Editor. Hit the "Save" Button. Close Editor. That's it.

 

 

JakeGrafton, You stated You Installed the whole "Shop" at once. That's 2000+ Weapons at one time. Well, Here's how it's done.........

 

 

First, You need a Copy of the SF2 Weapons Editor installed. You can get it at Third Wires Home Site or here at Combatace in the Downloads Section.

 

Open the Editor. Select the Title's Weapon Folder You want to edit. (In your case, SF2NA.)

 

Once opened, You should see a list of Weapons. If You've Put the "Weapons" Folder where it belongs, ie. StrikeFighters2NA>Objects>Weapons. You should see the Weapons from the Ordnance Shop listed also.

 

Now here's the Key...........

 

In the Weapons Editor, Hit the "SAVE" Button then Hit the "CLOSE" Button.  NOW! Keep in mind, the Editor will not close right off. It may take as long as 10 or 15 Minutes to Close,(With 2000+ Weapons, It'll take a Second) But let it close on it's own. What the Editor is doing is making a .Dat File out of a WeaponsData.INI that the Editor formulates out of each Weapon Folder in the "Weapons" Folder. By hitting "SAVE" Button on the Editor, The Editor compiles a .Dat File. That .Dat File is what the Game Engine reads in regards to Weapons in Strike Fighters2

 

 

Hope any of this helps.....

 

 

Semper Fi!

ianh755 -- thanks, I'm patched to the latest.

331KillerBee -- thanks so much for all the information. I'm new to SF2 and had no idea. Will download the weapons editior and do this.

 

(It seemed to me that it would be easier to install all the weapons, in case a certain plane/package required it --msaving me from checking what's missing and moving it all over. Should I remove them all and do the ones that I need one at a time? Is there a major disadvantage to having all of them?)

Thanks again!! - Jake
