Hello all
- Thread starter sierra078

It only seemed to happen in instant action against Romulans or Klingons at the start of the game. I could play as them but not against them, which pointed to an AI problem. Sometimes, it would go longer before it happened if there were multiple AI opponents. But no matter what I tried, it kept crashing. I've had the problem before, back in 2015 when I was modding it. This mainly happened with a fresh install of the mod. I tried a game vs Romulans in an old version I saved on a hard drive, and it worked for several minutes before crashing. The main crash report I kept getting was something about formations, AI, and processes. One of the posters said it was a missing quotation mark, but I couldn't find anything like that. I never mess with AI; my modding experience is restricted to modding ODFs. I know how to properly install a ship or station into the game. I ported a Star Wars mod into Fleetops directly from the Stock A2 mod. That was the only time I ever messed with AI.

Personal Star Wars Mod : Mods in progress - Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations
I'm planning a personal Star Wars Mod using the ships and stations from the original mod with a few changes. I only have experience with ship/station odfs and some weapon odfs so I'll probably end up attaching them via construction ship to an origin…

I had issues even with fresh copies of the 2014 Ultimate. I tried replacing them with versions from a couple of different mods that people sent me, but they didn't work.

Hi Sierra, I suggest we concentrate on just the romulans to start. I looked over the romulan AI and couldn't see anything. My guess is your are missing a odf file, have an error in a odf file, or have a missing physic file. My suggestion is for you to do some testing. Start up a game with just you and one romulan computer player. Turn the speed DOWN. Turn the settings in the game launch screen so that you can see the hole map and everything the computer is doing. You said the game crashed after only a few minutes so I would not do anything with my base. Instead scroll over top of the romulan's base and watch what happens. Pay attention as the romulan builds each ship and station and try to catch what is causing the game to chase. You should be able to see the ship build in the ship yard. If it builds then you know the sod and textures are ok. Right after the ship exist the yard does the game chase? If so take a close look at that ships odf and also make sure it is using the correct physic file. You may need to do this a few times to make sure you have found the correct problem.
If you are still having trouble report back and we will give you some more help.
Good luck. Don't give up there is a reason we just have to find it.
PS: If your game hasn't crashed this week then you are not modding!

The last few times, it happened right at the start of the game. It would freeze for about twenty seconds and then crash. I checked the Romulan base, scout, and construction ship odfs but still had issues. I ended up deleting that version and extracting a new copy from a zip file. But I find I'm still having issues with a freshly extracted copy of the mod. Now, when I load a game against Romulans, it says something about a missing unit.

Well if its crashing at start up then my testing method isn't going to work.
Instead I would take a look at the romulan.odf file. Load up the fed.odf file as well and compare the two and see if you can see something missing.
Also check and see if the unit odfs that this file gives you when the game starts are actually there and not missing.
minimalunits1 = "fconst.odf"
standardunits1 = "rom_starbaseS.odf"
standardunits2 = "rom_effectsS.odf"
superunits1 = "bconst.odf"
superunits2 = "fconst.odf"
superunits3 = "kconst.odf"
superunits4 = "rconst.odf"
ctfunits1 = "ctf_fbase.odf"
ctfunits2 = "ctf_fconst.odf"
ctfunits3 = "ctf_fconst.odf"
ctfunits4 = "fscout.odf"
preloadunits0 = "rom_mogaiY"
preloadunits1 = "rom_mogaiYS"
preloadunits2 = "rom_mogaiZ"
preloadunits3 = "rom_mogaiZS"

Nothing seems to be missing in those ODFs. The only thing I saw was the Romulans had no Single-player music entry, which isn't a surprise since they don't have a campaign. I have noticed that some of the Federation missions won't complete, mainly the ones where the objective is to destroy all Borg ships and stations on the map. And even if I use the "Kobayashi Maru" cheat, there's a crash when it tries to pull up the Admiral's log. The Fleet Ops guide says that's because of an invalid race odf string. I've also noticed that when the Admiral's log does come up, there are no calculated statistics. It always says, "No effective combat ships used." Maybe for that, I'll try building one ship and station at a time, then go to the Admiral's log and see what crashes.
I've attached the Rom and Fed Race Odfs so you can look at them and see if I missed something.
Maybe I just have a corrupted copy.

You got me on the admiral log issue. Only thing else you might try is reinstalling the mod on a clean install of a2.

Welcome to the site! 
I hope we'll manage to fix your crashes together. I'm afraid I'm not very knowledgeable about Fleetops so I don't think I'll be of much help.

, the best would be to ask in the FleetOps' forums.

Welcome! Crashes are almost always related to a reference to a file that doesn't exist or a name that is misspelled (they are essentially the same problem).
Have you changed anything from the original Ultimate version mod? if not, the first thing I'd try is a clean reinstall of the GOG A2, FO, and the Mod. It would be very odd for it to continue crashing un-modified, unless its not actually related to those races, and instead is some sort of graphics problem with GOG and FO and newer drivers or the like. Graphical or other compatibility issues are the only other major crash issue I can think of outside of just having a file name that is too long.

Graphical or other compatibility issues are the only other major crash issue I can think of outside of just having a file name that is too long.
I was having issues with a clean copy of Ultimate A2, but then I tried deleting the mod module for it and making a new one, and I've been playing through the campaign without issues. I even did an instant action game against Romulans with no crashes. I might have fixed it with the 1.2.5 unofficial patch. The only remaining issue I seem to get is the no effective combat ships bug at the end of missions or instant action.
Make that no issues until I play the Borg Campaign, same formation or craft.process problem with the AI, issue with scout.process? maybe a problem with a weapon? tactical range. I don't know anymore. I played against an easy AI Romulan and had no problems but when I play against merciless I have that problem several minutes into the game. It's very hard to pin down this crash. Also, I noticed Borg Planetary shields still require Latinum to research. Is there a way to fix that?
Hello, I just wanted to let everyone know I got some help on the Fleet Ops discord. The AI crash had something to do with the newdefault.aip file. Replacing it with the stock version seems to have solved the issue. As for the Borg planetary shields needing latinum, I removed the latinum requirement from all races for research purposes and from the planetary shield.
