[MERGED] Soldier Diaries 1.0

[kikimoristan]

Ivan . Make both sets of graphics available and I guess the second re-mastered ones are the graphics that come with default mod. But plz  have a second zipped file with alternative/original medal look. Some may like original better. I kinda like both to be honest. Second is more XCOM-like but first one is more unique to the mod and more "oiginal " mod look.

The issue with releasing both would be needing to update both sets. And if we don't update the second set, it wouldn't be a great set to play with ;p

I really need to catch up with your LP

[mrxian]

I really like the concept of this mod.
So much, in fact, that I decided to use it.
But after installing the legacy version, I found it doesn't work, it makes the game crash upon loading a save or starting a new game.

Am I doing something wrong?

Did you follow the instructions? Otherwise, common errors are that the .exe and the .dlls need to be in the same folder, and you can only play the legacy version with the 1.0 milestone of OXC.

[mrxian]

I'll go doublecheck, but I think I did all that.

I'll be in touch.

[mrxian]

Tried reinstalling everything, game still hangs. I'm using the milestone, correct version of the mod and followed the instructions.

Game loads fine, gets me into the menu, but as soon as I load or start a game or start a battle, the game hangs.

[Shoes]

Are you able to play without the mod installed? What about without the mod turn on? (Named Commendations in the mod section of the options)

Also, what operating system are you using?

[mrxian]

Game runs fine without the mod installed.
Turning the mod on or off has no effect on the hanging.

I'm using windows 7

[Shoes]

Sounds like you have a run of the mill setup, so this is quite puzzling. Could you do me a favor and try the nightly OXC with the nightly mod? Tell me if that hangs too. Thanks!

[mrxian]

That seems to work.
Let me try an even cleaner clean install.

Nope, with the cleanest install I can manage of the 1.0 milestone, I can't get the legacy mod to work.

[Kevloc]

Having the same issue as mrxian.
Did a clean install of Openxcom 1.0 over a Steam game install, test ran ok.   Extracted the 2015-02-08 Legacy.zip files, start up game, enable the ruleset and as soon as I try to start a new game it crashes to desktop.   Running Windows 7 64.   I can post the error if needed.   Going to try the Nightly method.   Hope it works, really like this addition.

[Goldy]

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

[Shoes]

Well dang guys, sorry about that. Glad to hear the nightly seems to be working as intended. I wonder if this is related to the "can't load games from an older version" problem others have had.

This week I should have time to look into it.
