Mission Editor Issues

[+SidDogg 130]

Hey folks, quick question.

 

Does anybody know what would cause SF2 to freeze at the Single Mission Screen, whenever I click the pencil to use Mission Editor?

 

It's been happening to me for a bit now, perhaps somebody else went through this, and fixed it.

 

Any thoughts?

Sometimes when I try to magnify the map it freezes.

But that's what i'm saying. I don't make it to the Hangar Screen.

 

I'm at the Single Mission Screen, i select the icon for the Mission Editor, and the whole front end just STOPS.

 

I'm at my wits' end with it, honestly lol

For me it is only sometimes and on certain Terrains. For me it is a rare problem that I largely ignore. Oddly enough the main culprit seems to be the Philippines '44, and Kamchatka.

I had this issue when using certain add on aircraft I had given too long a name. ie the name of the aircraft was to many characters. I had to shorten the name.

...hmmm, that's why.

 

It works on SF2 regular, but not SF2NA...

 

Is anybody else full-4 merged? How is your ME doing?

Got in SF2NA also probs.

Mostly like that when a just created mission loads, the screen freezes.

If SF2 works and its part of the same install as SF2NA - then probably a mod

 

Maybe start by cutting the Menu folder out, running the game, then if still crashing try another folder etc to narrow it down

...yeah, you were right.

 

it seems kout's MISSIONEDITOR.INI was the problem.

 

i don't know what difference there is between his and that of the latest patch, but it certainly needs to be looked into.

 

note to self: just don't use kout's MISSIONEDITOR.INI
