Bugles & Flags XIX

I played 5 games today, the first one crashed so I decided to delete the Scenarios & OOBs folders from your mod. The next four games went like clockwork so there might be a problem with the Scenarios or OOBs.

Yeah, probably an OOB issue. Unfortunately I can't feasibly troubleshoot without knowing which OOB or scenario caused the crash, because there are 24 OOBs. And, OOBs must be scrutinized line by line, column by column. OOB issues are the toughest to find because the log won't show some, even those that cause crashes, and, sometimes the issue won't show up in testing or gaming depending on whether the corrupt line is called.

Anyway, glad the toolbar part is improving your gameplay.

Understood. As long as you auto-save every minute you can work around the CTD as it only seems to happen once. Can you play the Scenarios without the OOBs?

Strange that the crash only happens once and then the replay skips the crash issue. Still, this needs to be resolved, any instability is ugly.

B&F along with the stock scenarios are OOB dependent. Scenarios can be built as stand alone which is a cool feature but if more than one scenario relies on the same OOB this becomes inefficient.

It maybe more than once as I usually start a new game after a crash.

If you tell me which OOBs go with which Scenarios I'll try them & see if I can pinpoint any problems.

Each scenario folder has a scenario.csv file. Near the upper left corner of this opened file you will find the name of the OOB it refers to, e.g., MASTER, oob_Gettysburg_3Days_CO_DRF_Day3.csv


Thanks for this effort!

OK, I'll start testing them as soon as I can.


Thanks for your mod. :cheer:

I can't get these Scenarios to work: GB MP00A-July2-Gettysburg South, 2nd Day (Div),GB MP00B-July2-Gettysburg South, 2nd Day (Div-ArtyCO) & GB MP00C-July2-Gettysburg South, 2nd Day (Corps). They don't show up in the users Scenarios.

Please note MP in the title. This designates them as multiplayer scenarios, allowing for only multiplayer games. They can be accessed and played solo by hosting and then creating a scenario, but that's not what they are designed for, no scripting, MP delay, etc.

I've had crashes with both these scenarios so far.
GB-July2-Brinkerhoff Ridge-2nd Virginia (C-Reg) & GB-July2-Brinkerhoff Ridge-Greg (U-Brig)


No crashes with this one yet.
GB-July3-East Cavalry Field - Come On, You Wolverines (U-Div)
