Hmmm, interesting. tactical battle is probably compiled as a 32-bit
application, so it can't access more than 2 gb of memory. That said,
do you know the processor and amount of memory of that system? I
susspect tactical battle was never made for these huge map packs and
that the sheer amount of sounds cause it to crash.

I am sending this on behalf of someone experiencing problems. It seems
connected to either Rampage or scripts or both. In addition, the CPUseems
to
run less efficiently while TB is running, At least from what Iunderstand
what
was explained.
I am clueless about what to do about it, except to pass this along in
hopes
that Ian or Craig are made aware.
I have posted the description and error messages below.
*** Start description/error message
I'm having a problem with your Rampage map pack, actually. It looks awesome
and I'd like to play in more depth. However, after a certain number of
sounds
playing, the game crashes with an out of memory error.
I've done some googling, and it looks like someone named Kyle Davis had the
same problem with your Starcraft pack a while back. Also, someone on the
list
that goes by Monkey seemed to have the same problem. Their error messages
look very similar to mine, excluding some of the specific sound functions.
I don't actually think there is anything wrong with your packs. I actually
have a script error logged that targets SM Damage and Healing.js as a
possible problem, but I don't think it's that either or more people would
be
having this error. Your Age of Warlords pack appears to work fine for me,
I've played it for at least half an hour with no crashes, whereas the
Rampage
pack tends to crash after around 3 minutes of play, depending on how fast
I'm
playing and how quickly new sounds are triggering.
I've tried everything I can think of, including playing with my computer's
memory and trying to figure out if any other processes could be using up a
lot of my ram or virtual memory. It doesn't appear so, though for some
reason
when I run tactical battle, my CPU seems to run at a far higher speed than
it
should. I've turned the graphics off and the battle log off to no avail.
I'm
pretty well out of ideas to try to get this thing to work.
