I volunteer! This is definitely what I was looking forward to the most out of all the shock2 mods that have popped up recently. Amazing work once again!

When entering the security station in Medsci 1, a very unpleasant hissing sound begins playing repeatedly.

Edit: The game crashes when I try to hack into my past self for the first time in med/sci, just after the loading screen. Everything I saw up to that point varied from "nice" to "mindblowing."

Hell, does it always and you can't progress at all? Do you want me to provide you a savegame back there? It might have something to do with the version of the game: in the past weeks, I switched from my very old GOG installation to the current Steam one because Cyberspace 3 kept crashing. It never did afterwards.

Were you able to use the tear without crashes? I used to get a crash when I entered Cyberspace in Hydroponics, then I installed the mod on the Steam version and they stopped. I was using a very old installation, all messed up, and gathered that maybe the problem was just that (and often it would stop playing movies).

I had posted the crash dump from that Hydroponics problem in another thread, but got no replies. Maybe it's just a conflict with a single setting on a marker, who knows. See to save your game before map changes, and retry doing Cyberspace because it would be a real pity to be unable to play it.

edit I can't pinpoint the cause of the crashes yet, but I asked around so there's hope. Try the mod with the Steam version for the time being, if you can.

Nope, I can't use the tear either as it turns out. I guess this is caused by the loading algorithm since I definitely have both the .gam and the .mis files of both cyberspace and tear.

Maybe you're right: please, would you try again with this updated code? It's for tear and cyberspace in Medsci.

/fingers crossed

Damn, I was counting on that. T_T

Listen, I know it's asking much but I got an expert willing to take a look into this. Please, would you be available to restart a new game and just run into the tear of Medsci2 (skipping all quests and combat, just enter the door on the right that's always open) so I can show him the crash dump? There's also the vague hope that doing this, the method of the fix actually works... I was really hoping it would work lol.

There you go. That thing is surprisingly huge.

the crashdumps compress nicely, if you zip one with 7zip, it should have around 20-40MB.

//also, anyone reporting an issue or submitting a crashdump should also attach his shock2.log to the post. so basically, zip the crashdump, upload it somewhere, post the link, and add the log as attachment. or paste the contents into the post using the code /code tags.

update to 2.43 before doing anything. the log is from 2.4 (crashdump 2 as well, I would assume), a release 2+ years old. ss2tool to the rescue (back up your cam_mod.ini before patching, and restore it once done or you will have to set up BMM from scratch).

just for fun - how the heck did you end up with such an old release? GOG and steam use 2.42 for quite a while afaik.

also;

I don't think there's an automatic update feature for gog installs. All good old manual work, so it happens.

true.

and a reminder - considering the extensive changes you've made to the levels, you probably don't want the orig dml set to be loaded. you can accomplish this by adding a mission quest data var "scplevel" with the value of "1" (without the ""). this will prevent the dmls from loading.

Thanks! I never used Mission Quest Data, actually no menu comes up when I click on it! But I wonder, Infinite's levels use different names like "1_medsci1", "1_hydro1": are the DMLs still loaded like this?
