Thats all being reported in the log from ONE crash, keeps happening regardless of using a loaded game or a saved game. I havent changed these files at all. Emergency aid needed! Also, does anyone have JUST the NPCs use medkits and NPCs throw grenades mods laying around? I cant find anywhere on the net anymore where i can get those 2 mods by themselves.

[MeanderingBeing]

I had this problem once... it wasn't as many errors, but I had a couple of crashes involving multiple stack overflows...
I defragged my hard-drive and the problem magically disappeared, so it may or may not be related... Hope this helps!

[VINTAR]

Maybe you have a lot of npc's running around who dont have any terrain to wonder around in. You say you never touched those files, but you cant be sure that something else hasnt. Almost like the ai is borked somewhere.

[ket]

I've disabled medic and grenadier for now, no problems so far. My HDD is defragged so have to assume a file somewhere has somehow got messed up. If anyone knows or has the NPCs use medkits and NPCs throw grenades mods point me where to get them from so I can try and troubleshoot this. Thanks

[Nightwatch]

In connection with what VINTAR has said, the symptoms (error log) lead me to think that it might be the case that engine got into overdrive to generate excessive stuff (NPCs and items) more than what the game physics could possibly handle; a problem may be seen when a script starts to create those stuff without an end limit, in specific circumstances. Doesn't necessarily mean that the script itself is faulty, it well can be due to the fact (or chance) that some scripts do not go well side by side sometimes, hurting each other's functions. As you say that when medic and grenadier were disabled then the problem disappeared as well, this points to such a conclusion. Those scripts may need work done on them, or on another script(s) that's been effected by them, to allow them work together.

I have Xsteams AI pack RC (which I got in August 2009) which has separate scripts for xrs_grenade, medic, armor, kamp. motivator, etc. Would you want it?

[ket]

Thanks nightwatch that would be really helpful if you could pass along Xsteams AI pack The weird thing with this problem is that its literally appeared from nowhere, I had medic and grenadier merged working perfectly since early beta builds of TK... almost like xray is starting to rebel saying I'm making it work too hard

[VINTAR]

I'm guessing youve done some work on xr_motivator?

[ket]

Nope. I don't like screwing with that file and a few others so will avoid doing so whereever possible just because its so easy to screw the game up with that file and a few others.

[Nightwatch]

OK, Ket, I've sent the AI Pack to your email account that you've registered to the forum, biz...@hotmail.com. Hope it'll prove some use.

[ket]

Thanks I got the email just now *stretches* time to show this troubled child xray whos the boss!

[VINTAR]

You show that mofo whos king
