SRIV Adding new weapons

[Fan of Saints]

Hello, dear Volition.
I made New Weapons Mod a few months ago. Everything was good... until some guys started to reporting that the game crashes while buying weapon. The most strange is that it still works for me. Are there some region differences that might cause the problem? Or maybe my copy is special...?

His copy is special since it's also working for me and some of my friends.

Special? Never heard that term used to describe it before.
(does someone need to walk the plank?)

I'll add that weapon mods were working just fine for me until the EtD update. After that they all seem to cause a crash in the weapon selection menu.

We reserve a number of weapon slots for DLC packs. If you use those slots and then DLC gets added...boom. My guess is that this is what is going on. I'm working on fixing this, but it is slow going just due to the extreme amount of code to change.

But... why does it work for me and doesn't work for others? I can't get it.

That I can't easily explain because I'm pretty sure we put the viewer packs into the game by default on PC. I would expect you all to have essentially the same data from us.

Seems like adding new entries to items_inventory.xtbl causes the issue. I replaced some unused SR3 entries with new ones and send files to my friend who has the issue and it worked.

Too many things for sure, so I wonder what is different about his setup. Does he something that you don't?

No, false alarm. He just reported the game still crashes while buying weapons.
