What do you mean. I still 11 years old why would i drink and post.

Paint chips then....

Hi
Installed the mod and really like it so far
Vaporizing enemies with the laser pistol is so cool :P

But I think I found a bug.
I modified my laser pistols to get the increased battery size. But it did not change. I still get max 110 energy on them ...
Maybe there is a conflict with the energy weapon skill... since it also changes the battery size of energy weapons

good catch, had some stupid debug settings on that modification, fixed and will be in next patch

I'm having a bit of trouble getting SecMod 2.1 to work properly.  For reference, I can play using ADoaB 0.2.9 and an assortment of other mods.

While I managed to get SecMod 2.1 to work, but only by downloading and applying SECMOD_patch_2.0_to_2.1.7z.  It was playable, with a number of strange errors, and would crash at a bulkhead or earlier.

I'm not sure how to get around this problem.


Thus far I have tried:

Attempted fix 1: Use of ddfixGUI
Result 1: Screen went from solid black to rapidly alternating between solid black and the desktop. Undid the ddfixGUI changes.

Attempted fix 2: Activate only SecMod 2.1
Result 2: Solid black screen. Could access the menu via the 'Esc' key.

Attempted fix 3: Activate only SecMod2.1 and SecMod -- Rebirth Patch
Result 3: Solid black screen. Could access the menu via the 'Esc' key.

Attempted fix 4: Downloaded and installed SS2 Modmanager 0.0.4.19. Deactivated then reactivated all mods.
Result 4: Solid black screen. Could access the menu via the 'Esc' key.

Attempted fix 5: Downloaded and installed SECMOD_patch_2.0_to_2.1.7z
Result 5: SecMod 2.1 starts and is playable, but some textures are not visible (e.g. lockers and desks), resulting in invisible objects. Also other strange errors.

Attempted fix 6: Uninstalled all mods, then reinstalled only Rebirth, SecMod 2.1, and the SecMod Rebirth patch
Result 6: Solid black screen. Could access the menu via the 'Esc' key.


Would anyone be able to offer advice on how to fix this?

Can you post the contents of your Install.cfg file?

Can you post the contents of your Install.cfg file?

cd_path .
install_path .
language english
resname_base RES
load_path .
script_module_path .
movie_path cutscenes

Are you using HOTU or orginal (cd rom) version of System Shock 2?

Try changing it to this:

Code: [Select]

cd_path .\
install_path .
language english
resname_base .+.\res
load_path .
script_module_path .
movie_path .\cutscenes

Is there any reason having this mod activated by itself would cause the game to crash?  It's just a fresh mod ready install.

I'm using the HOTU version of SS2.

Try changing it to this:

Unfortunately, that didn't work.  No black screen; it just crashes to the desktop.  It appears to stop just prior to loading the level, e.g. the loading screen wheel has appeared, but the progress meter is empty.

That implies that the game can't find some essential piece of data, and simply crashes.
You could try running the game through ShockEd and then posting the contents of the file monolog.txt immediately after a crash.

Okay, in trying to get generate a monolog.txt file for you, I think I figured out the problem.

Long story short, it seems SecMod 2.1 wasn't copying over most of its files when activated from the Mod Manager.  Notably, the *.mis files, shock2.gam, and a host of other files from the ss2mod file weren't being copied over.  However, *.ss2mmbak files were created for anything already present.  It seems that when the SecMod 2.0 to 2.1 patch was activated, enough essential files were restored to allow a crippled sort of gameplay.

Extracting the contents of the *.7z file directly into a duplicate Shock2 folder seems to have the game running smoothly now.

Thank you very much for the help.  I'm not sure I would have figured it out without trying to use ShockEd.

This happened to me a couple of times as well.

I can confirm the bug with the CMs miracle.freak mentioned
I also got the Naturally able trait.
I did not notice any beeps but I noticed myself losing CMs
I remember having 17 at one point ... after clearing the radiation in engineering all of a sudden I only had 9 ...
After loading the last savegame I was down to 6 -.-'

I can't seem to progress very far in this mod
On my first attempt to play it I made it to deck 3 ... then I got constant crashes while fighting mutants to the left of the elevator
Second attempt (this time on impossible) ... made it to engineering ... until I noticed my CMs were disappearing
Third attempt (normal difficulty again) ... made it to deck 4 ... got many crashes but sometimes could continue by going somewhere else ... but after 20 or 30 crashes I gave up

I have a different problem. Whenever I enter the inventory screen (this is in the training levels right at the start), I can't actually do anything there. It's got a SS1-style click on something to shoot there type behaviour which I cannot disable and right-clicking on things does absolutely nothing.

It's got to be some setting somewhere that I didn't read, but I can't find a key for shoot/use mode in the control bindings. In case it's an installation error, here's what I did before playing.

The installation itself was from a CD, patched with the SS2Toll for 1600x1200, all bug fixes and all the "patching up" category. SS2MM 0.0.4.19 was then installed and the music upgrade, SHTUP Beta 6, Deep Fried Beer's sound improvements and Rebirth Complemented Beta 01 installed. SecMod 2.1 was then installed manually since the mod manager failed to do anything with it, followed by the Rebirth compatibility patch in the same fashion. Finally, I copied over my old binds file (yes, this might well cause it), loaded that and tweaked it for Secmod.

Any ideas what's going on here?

Try reading the topic on Broken Use/Shoot mode, perhaps?

D'oh! I feel like a right moron...

Thanks.

My game crashes at the loading screen upon starting a new game, it doesn't even load all the way before crashing like it normally would, the bar doesn't even go up a single notch before getting a "System Shock 2 has encountered an error and needs to close" kind of thing.

It runs fine without Secmod though.

D:

Did you install the mod manually or with SS2MM?

SS2MM, and I enabled Rebirth, Secmod and the Secmod Rebirth patch in this order: Rebirth, Secmod, Secmod Rebirth patch.

Sorry for the double-post but I'd also like to add that I don't get the special Secmod title screen page either.

So... perhaps the mod isn't loading properly from the modmanager? Is there anything special I should do? I renamed the .zip to .ss2mod so I figured that's all there was to be done... unless I'm missing something undocumented here?
