Crash in FRED resulted in corrupt mission file #6285

DefCynodont · 2024-08-08T03:33:23Z

I was saving a mission in FRED, (FSO 24.0.2) and when I clicked save, I got the following error message:

Error: C:\Games\FreespaceOpen\FS2\BtA-3.0.0\bta_core\data\missions\bta-af_m1_02.fs2(line 71):

In addition, the mission file became heavily corrupted, more specifically: Most of the fixed strings are missing, starting with $Skybox Model: and $AI Profile And the text contains incorrect syntax, dislocated lines, dislocated strings, and huge amounts of missing data.

No major or unusual thing was being done by me in FRED when this occurred, I have no idea how this happened.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Goober5000 · 2024-08-08T03:43:40Z

I don't suppose you have a copy of the mission that, when saved, produces this error? This is the sort of thing that's difficult to track down without a test case.

Do any of your ships/wings/IFFs/callsigns/strings/files (edit: or Notes or Mission Description) contain a quote or semicolon?

DefCynodont · 2024-08-08T04:18:35Z

I only have the corrupted mission file post-error, the backups don't crash.

No such quotes or semicolons. I only just started on the mission and it's mostly empty. I'm not sure what could have caused it to crash when saving.

DefCynodont · 2024-08-08T04:25:53Z

I will provide the corrupted mission file's full code here, know that it's made to run in BtA,

It reminds me of the corruption that motivated the #5517 fix, but this isn't using the mission importer.
