Freeze

posted on December 12th, 2011, 6:25 pm

I just added some mixed tech vessels to stock A2 (made from stock odfs). I Included a mixed tech research center/shipyard and ships. the research center builds special weapons from different species. My problem is that when i go to load it, the game freezes up on loading. The bar at the bottom doesn't even get started it just freezes. It doesn't even generate a bug report so i can't really see what the problem is. I've checked and rechecked the odfs and techtree entries, is there something i'm missing?

The only cause of a freeze at that point that I know of is an issue with the techtree

I've gone over the techtree again and again but i can't find anything i'll post it here to see if someone finds something wrong. Be aware that i've added federation versions of several special weapons (i.e. remodulation, regeneration, plasmabank overload, romulan spy, weapon enhancer) one of these could be the problem.

With this part, are the descriptions actually in the techtree or have you just added them to let us know what they are?
