Check the ground flag for your long bolt missile? Your english is bad, so I'm not sure exactly what you've done.

1. did you check the has shield flag?
2. low build times can crash certain units for some reason, you might try raising it to about 10.
3. you'd need a new iscript for this, or it will always crash.
4. the persistent explosions could cause a crash, but I've never played with that so I don't know.
5. where you editing on units.dat or sfxdata.dat?

your first post said you only modified the wav but now I agree with TF and it might be an iscript thing. If you want to change weapons, make sure everything matches their original counterparts.

What I meant is, with the sound editing where you editing units.dat and sfxdata.dat, or which one?

also, what fields did you edit in it?

hey everyone, i guess he don't know which is which what his problem
so he just said like that about marine sound

n e ways.... after look around his saying
i think weapon and which changed explosions are might problem to his mod

as for rest things there are np

but i think he has not much in SC modding knowledge
so if try 2 make understand that which is which for him
it's might be need takes a long times and many other description

however, i'd like just say it that probably problem in iscript.bin which in weapon and
explosions

Just bear with us for a few weeks, Moo19, it'll become all clear if you practice a bit, and soon you'll be giving advice to the newbies yourself smile.gif

Yeah. Hey, it happened to me. I was a newbie about a year ago...

Anyway, I think the problem is most likely the Persistant Explosion. If the iscript for the weapon can't handle it, that'll probably crash the game. Try changing that and it'll probably fix the problem. It's not the sfx; I've changed those without problems.

This makes me think that the weapon's graphics behaviour and types needs to be re-evaluated for the next DatEd's release. Any volounteers? cool1.gif
