I was using the new med mod beta 5.0, does anyone know what the problem is?? I dont know wether to even play the game again because it may always go wrong. Can I start a new game and implement the fix at a later date??

Game Obj.cpp Error

No Such ID 268435515

Can I start a new game and when I know what the fix is implement this into my new game?

And, how do you edit the slic file without having to go into dos and renaming the file to .txt ??

Here's my e-mail address.

I'm at work right now so I can't promise you any miracles. But I'll take a look.

As for your problem, Gemini was probably right (as usual). My theory is that the game tries to access either too many objects at a time or the same object (or a part of it) several times at once. What exactly happens is something only Mr Ogre (or some other Actigrammer) can tell us, but it isn't all that important.
I already experienced this problem when trying to attack with the missile and kill it at the same time and I solved it by making in a delay between the attacking and the building. I don't know if there's a real solution for it except for waiting a moment before attacking again, I'll have a look as fast as I can. The problem is either with attacking too many missiles at once or accessing the timer several times at once (I think the first probably can't be solved, the second hopefully can).
If you want to disable the code, you'll have to go into script.slc (I assume this is where Wes put the trigger, I haven't had the time to look at the latest beta) and search for the triggers called 'MissileBugFix' and 'MissileBugFixTimer' (should be underneath each other) and outcomment those by putting '//' in front of every line of those triggers (a triggers starts with the line that contains the word trigger and the title and ends with the last '}' before the next trigger or messagebox or whatever follows the trigger - usually the contents of the trigger is preceded with a few spaces/tabs).

The game crashes everytime I use a cruise missile to attack, be it in a stack of several cruise missiles or individually. I tried using just one cruise missile to attack the city and the game crashed with the error as above.

Thanks for the script, unfortunately the game still crashes when I use a cruise missile.

How come one script file was 145kb the other 147kb ? ( I used the smaller file )

Locutus, I'll send you the script file ok.

What will this actually mean whilst playing the game? do cruise missiles not exist ?
