System Shock 2 Command Deck Crash Fix
by ZylonBane
March 04, 2008
This fixes the crash on a mod-ready install of SS2
when entering the Command deck.
The crash occurs because some objects on the Command
deck use textures named COM6.PCX and COM8.PCX. The
Windows operating system interprets these as
references to the COM: ports, causing a crash.
This crash doesn't occur on a standard install
because, by default, SS2 only looks in the .CRF
files for its resources. Making SS2 mod-ready
causes it to look in the local filesystem first,
thus exposing these illegal filenames to the
operating system.
The fix changes the names of the textures, and
updates the affected models. Install by unZIPping
directly to the SS2 install folder (using folder
names), or rename this archive's file extension
from .ZIP to .SS2MOD for use with the SS2 Mod
Manager.
