Descartes Problem (CTD: "HUDTEX.dds")

[blane]

Hi all,

I recently found Greg's great Descartes Add-Ons but I seem to have a problem with it. Sometimes, during gameplay without doing anything (just idling in the cockpit view). The game crashes to the Desktop.

I already made a clean install with only the neccessary (I think) Add-Ons, but the error remains and is reproducable on my system. Installed add-ons are:

- Spacecraft3.dll

- Building Blocks 4.0 + 4.01 (installed 4.0 before because I read about that in another thread).

- LSTS 2.0

- DESCARTES

- DESCARTES ADD-ON (David Hume & Adam Smith)

- Medium & Heavy Lander

Apart from those I have no funny stuff installed (I installed DGIV + Autosave, which should not make any problems).

However, whenever I start a LEIBNITZ Scenario, the game will crash after 3-5 Minutes when just ideling in the cockpit. The Log says:

Finished initialising world
Module Spacecraft3.dll [API v.050206]
>>> ERROR: Missing texture: HUDTEX.dds

(... a few dozend more same WARNINGS)

I did do a search on HUDTEX.dds but only posts I found were from 2007 and no solutions there either.

Does anyone had the same problem and has any idea how to fix this?

TIA,

Ah right - I forgot about this (*blush*): Hmm, okay some stuff is missing. Does anyone know where it belongs to? In the Descartes readme there are no other Addons mentioned.

If anyone knows by heart of which packages these files are part of, I'd appreciate it...

some progress... after finding this:

http://orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=39893



Let's see if I can find all that's neccessary....

I had the same problem. The files are there, they just ended up in the wrong place. I can't remember what folder they ended up in, but they are there. Have your computer search the main Obiter folder. Once you know where they are you can just move them to the correct folder.

 

[blane]

Hmm unfortuinately, they are not anywhere in my Orbiter directory. I installed about every one of Greg's Addons for Orbiter 2006 -- I seem to need older ones as well? Specifically I need the following files:

Antenna1.ini.
Spar1A.cfg.
Spar2A.cfg.
Spar1Node.cfg.
TPanels1.ini.
NukeModule.cfg.
HabModule1A.cfg.
HabModule1B.cfg.
HabModule2A.cfg.
Node1A.cfg.
Node1B.cfg.
Node2A.cfg.
TankA.cfg.
Cargo01.cfg.
Cargo02.cfg.
Cargo03.cfg.
Cargo04.cfg.
Cargo05.cfg.
Cargo15.cfg.
Cargo14.cfg.
Cargo13.cfg.
Cargo11.cfg.
ACModule.cfg.
Cupola.cfg.
SLModule.ini.
LogModule1.cfg.
LogModule2.cfg.
LogModule3.cfg.
LogModule4.cfg.

Should anyone know what addon I need... Would be great. In the meanwhile I just look through all of the older addons.

Okay, almost solved. The most essential file missing was the *original* building blocks for the 2005 orbiter release:

Now just one more texture is missing....

Okay, and that seems to be unrelated:

All solved it seems. Nice.

Greg: I know it'd be a pain to clean the add-ons with dependencies, however, have you considered releasing a file that just contains the missing dds/cfg files from previous versions (BB for example). So you could just add BB/Descartes and the extra pack to be fine.
