old Trace Memory Access Violation?

I downloaded the S2 Extension Mod and i've been playing around with it and translating bits of it.

However I've started getting Memory Access Violations when i load up my saved game. The game loads editor and random islands seem to work, but as soon as the saved game loads I get error.

I've figured they usually come from incorrect file paths for the models or icons but i can't work out where i've gone wrong.

So I'm wondering if there's any way of telling whats causing the error.

I need the following information:
1. What Version of S2Ext do you use?
2. Does the error occur in all save games?
3. What did you translate, exactly?

1. I'm not exactly sure which version, its fair recent though, no older than a few weeks.
2. So far its just one, but I havn't progressed very far in any others.
3. Some parts of the item files (in sys). I started off just plugging a whole file into an online translator, it made some unhelpful to the scripts, but I fixed a lot (probably not all) of them.

I suspect its a problem with a particular item, I've got the error before and its been because i've typed the icon or model path incorrectly. However if that is it, i have no idea which item the problem is with or even which file its in.

Unless there is a better way, I will probably replace one file with the original, test the game, replace another file, etc...
Until i find which file contains the problem and go from there.

actually, that's pretty old. The last current version came out last week.
Start the credits and wait till the credits for S2Ext come, or look into the file credits.inf and search for "Version" or something like that...

If any other loads, it's the fault of stranded ii. It sometimes corrupts maps and savegames, which is why you should always make backups

Better replace it with the original version. Running the files through an translator usually scraps them
If you want to translate, search for name=, description=start, info=, add, msg, msgbox and so on.
You'll what you can translate there.

possibly those which you scrambled
Replace them with the original files.

Um, yeah, that's what I am saying.
If possible, replace them with a newer version you can find here here

Ok, thanks for that.
I realised the translator was messing up the syntax so now im just doing name= info= and msg

So now it's off to start swapping files...

Thanks for your help
It's an awesome mod, keep up the great work
