Haven't played properly in ages.
I started up the Ascension mod and quite enjoyed it as it's so long since I played it I had forgotten what was supposed to happen.
I did spot a bug or two here and there and thought I would have a go at fixing them and do a bit of general housekeeping at the same time.
It ten years since I originally made the mod.
Anyway, I added a few little tweaks. On the whole it all works surprisingly well. Checked the save game. Worked OK.
Then, for some unknown reason the game wouldn't save. Game crashes halfway though saving.
As well as this I now have a 'crash spot'. Crashes in the same place every time even though I made no changes to the particular area. I've been in and out of the same spot hundreds of times. Never crashed before. Came on all of a sudden.
The weird thing is that I made a test map where I re-created the same area - using the same .bw file. Not a copy but referenced to the original .bw file. Put in all the things that exist in the original mod. That works fine - no crash.
I can't help but think this is damn peculiar.
I'm pretty sure this is a graphics issue and not code. The same crash happens when I fly down the corridor with the free camera. As soon as a little spot becomes visible - it crashes. I've had this before when you get bad sectors, but it isn't that or it would crash in the test map.
I'm stumped on this one.
This is more of a rant than a cry for help. But if anyone has any ideas please shout up.
Another thing. Not so drastic. Every time I start the game in full screen the video options default to a setting that is too bright. I have to reset it every time. (I'm using the OGL raster). It never used to do this.
