Identifying map crash

NimoStar

My mod, Crimson Alert, is made deliberately to be campaign compatible.

So far, so good.

But there is one crash I cannot identify

It happens After the mission has already ended, just after you attempt to continue; that is to say, after the time score screen.

What's more frustrating is that I don't know if this is a mission 5 or a mission 6 crash.

On the one hand, it happens before even the mission 6 cinematic appears, so it shouldn't be loaded, should it?

However, could something be so stupid that it crashes the game on mission 05 after it has already ended?

This is quite puzzling and I welcome any help in identifying either the mission or the error.

The maps hadn't been modified, only the rules, art, etc., but there is no info on the crash that would point to the error (other to the cryptic codes you see there)

May be related to map selection, it may not have a next map to go to etc.. If using Ares, you get additional functionality, check the documentation.

Its the default campaign. Could it be that ares breaks the default campaign?

I haven't played campaign with Ares till now. You could try with original to rule out Ares.

Otherwise check battlemd.ini and mission 5 map if modified.

I didn't modify the campaign at all, nor battlemd.ini - it is all as in yr 1.001

I modified Rulesmd.ini, artmd.ini, soundmd.ini and aimd.ini

But if an entry was missing or something in those it woudn't break when out of mission without any description, it would tell I think...

I was thinking maybe fail to load Romanov video speaking about going to the moon, but I fail to see why would that happen.

If anyone has any ideas at all please say them.

Weren't you asking about lunar terrain recently and this being a lunar map, find out if some change is left loose in the game folder.

I bet this is the issue

nope, I deleted the lunar extension and the same happens. That was the first thing I tried since I assumed the same thing.

The lunar map loads fine even without the extension.

But through changing other stuff now the map loads.

A magnetron and a mastermind appears,

magnetron lifts your stuff

THEN EVERY YURI UNIT EXPLODES

then you win the map

Then you get to the win screen...

then it crashes. Again.

Sad

:/ :/
