It's the same problem I had - I had to revert to older version :(

I am not sure how deep I want to go into bug fixing an outdated version of the mod ;p I would rather try and fix the reason you're not able to play the old one.

I am not suggesting fixing this version. I have cimcurvented the problem by replaying the mission, so no harm here. I was just happy, that I found the root of the crash and wanted to point out the bug, to know, if it is known and possibly fixed in newer versions, or if it is some odd coincidence ;) When I become enthusiastic about something, I tend to spam a bit, sorry :)

Ok, I went through older saves of the same terror mission and I was able to pointout the moment, when the problems start. One moment, I can finnish the mission without any crash and then, when I shoot down a cyberdisc, it blows up and takes with it a civilian and an alien (sectoid soldier). And then, every time I try to end the mission, game crashes.

I've been experimenting with the saves, but so far no success.

Assuming a goomba stomp (inspired by the mario games) did happen, that means there is a stat for a stunned alien that is being misattributed. If you go through your save file, you might be able to find out who is being credited with the stun (there might be gibberish saved? I really don't know) and you might be able to remove that credit. That's the only way I can think of doing it ;p

I thought of the same thing before, problem is that I have no idea what to look for in the save file. It's as if someone wanted me to stop playing and start doing some real work -.-

Hm, so it seems, that temporary deactivation of the commendations didn't solve my problem. Because when I activate them, the game crashes at the next point, when it tries to give some awards -.-

Could this be caused by the "goomba stomping" bug (where does the term comes form anyway? XD ) and is there any way to circumviate it completely, other than deactivating commendations again.

Btw, nice artwork - the best of rank medal looks really great.

OK, me again.

There is a bug somewhere in the version ivandogovich provided (07182014 Legacy debug), that I can't pinpoint exactly. I was just finnishing a terror mission - I killed last alien and was ready for debrifieng, clicked "enemy turn" and the game crashed. To make sure, that it was not a random occurence, I tried previous saves and different combinations and no, there was no way to get out of the mission without a crash. I have read about similar bugs before, so I deactivated commendations for a while and voila, no problem. Finished the game, activated commendations and so far nothing.

Unfortunately, I am unable to point at an exact culprit - I have no idea, what could have caused it.

And on a more positive note - I extremely happy with this mod, now that it works (more or less). It's really wonderful. Thank you both :)

There is an OpenXcom.log file in your user directory.  This might be under the My Documents folder.
Thank you for the directions. There is even some kind of logfile in the game directory, but both of them are sadly not very helpful :(

Edit:  I think this is the one I am using: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/234369005/OXC/07182014%20Legacy%20Debug.zip

Yes, that version solves my problem - it does both: doesn't crash the game a gives away commendations the way it should. Thank you :)

It doesn't answer the question "why the hell is not the newer version working?", but now I can stop complaining about it ;)

I have 1.0 version of OpenXcom (I haven't tried any nightly yet, to tell the truth) and I have downloaded the 2015-02-08 Legacy version of Commendations. There are no other mods - I install the game (I've just done it one more time to make sure, I am not missing something obvious - I don't think that I do, which makes even more probable :P) and it works, I open the Legacy archive and copy the content to the game directory and when I run the game, I can't start a new campaign. It doesn't matter if the mod is activated or not, when I try it, the game crashes to desktop.

My operating system is Windows 7 a everything worked quite well (apart from the obvious problems, when the commendations weren't behaving like they should), up until now. And there si no log anywhere unfortunately :( Only typical Windows message, that "the program stopped working".

Any idea, why does my game keep crashing to the desktop when starting a new campaign? I have already tried to reinstall it twice and I do not know, where the problem is - according to what I read here, it should work :(

Shoes: I think my problems are adding up. I downloaded the upgraded version of commendations and now I am not even able to start a new game to test it. When the problem occured for the first time, it also somehow messed up Hobbes's terrain pack (no idea how and why), which I finally got to work just yesterday  ;D  I then decided to start from scratch and make a completely new install of the game, but even then the problem persists. The game starts all right, I can set up mods (I only copied commendations this time, so I can test it and then probably add others), but when I want to start new campaign, it crashes to desktop.

Shoes: I am using 1.0 legacy version. I tried the debug mode and the problem persisted (they got "a butt load"), so I decided to reinstall the mod again - for this purpose, I downloaded the Legacy version from the first post of this thread (which seems to be newer, than the one I had, with ufopedia entries integrated), I followed the three simple steps again and this time I even cannot get this mod running :( Whenever I try to activate it in the mods menu, I get the "yaml-cpp: error at line 942, column 6: end of map not found" error.

ivandogovich: Am I too obvious as a non-native speaker? XD Nevertheless, I use english (US, I had UK english set before, but some mods have problems with it), only occasionally switching to czech for the purpose of translating some mods. My problem with commendations persists in both, UK and US setting.

Hi,

I have an interesting problem with this mod. Every screen works, all statistics work, but commendations behave strangely - whenever there is a chance for someone to get a commendation, all of the operatives get all of possible ones (if not all, I haven't been keeping exact notes). I wasn't sure at the start, but when I realized, that all of my soldiers have a medal, that should be awarded "posthumously", I knew, something is wrong. I've finished one playthrough, disregarding this problem, but when it occured again, I've decided to ask about it.

There is also a "{o}" symbol included in some of the commendation names, where a specific name of race/weapon should be.

I may have made a mistake, when installing this mod. I tried to follow the (not-so-difficult) instructions steb-by-step, but I know myself -.- Is there any advice, you could possibly give me? Thanks in advance.

And on the sidenote - this mod is wonderful, I mean both of its parts (commenadions and ufopedia entries), even if it does not work properly for me. Thank you for your work :)
