Default Re: Weird Crash

Did you do anything in the mod that changed the micrometeorite gun at all? Is it just the default micrometeorite, or have you made any variants?

I ask because it sounds to my trial-and-error ears, like it's a problem with the weapon file, not the ship. It may even be on a variant of the weapon which doesn't appear on the ship you most recently added, but which had never spawned prior to your first crashed game.

If you've changed the wp_projmicm file at all, or made any new weapons based on the micrometeorite gun, that could be the cause of it.

I'd take a look in any related/derived wp_ files and make sure they have this line, exactly as it appears here, .wav not .ogg, etc:

SOND 100 0 combat/p_micmet.wav fire

In the default file it appears in the Projectile entry of wp_projmicm, just below the RAND line and above another SOND line. I've had several bugs/crashes that I eventually figured out had to do with lines of code being in the wrong order. None were specifically SOND lines, but it's still in the realm of possibility.
