Trader stall dialogue issues

Hey, Anyone having a problem with certain dialogue files corrupting after a while? When a game gets into the mid 50 hours mark, the dialogue at the trader stalls gives me a c error. Cant open Trader.dialogue.c I've noticed the same problem with the rapers in the jungles. Also when I try to search corpses on ships the game will crash. The last three times I have uninstalled and reinstalled, put the mods in and there were no issues. This last time the dialogue is still corrupt which makes me think its a save issue.

Any ideas on these? I really don't want to rewrite the files unless theres a simple default change that would do the trick.

i haven't ran into it yet,but then most i've played is 20 hours in lol.but if i get
that far into the game i'll look at the dialogs and see if i can do anything
warning my knowledge of the code language so no promises.

I have had the merchant error code show at the top of the screen, it happens with every stall aswell so its not like its one town this problem starts in. I was upgrading my second ships (Caravel) when i started getting error messages about not been able to open the merchant file or what ever it said, anyway i was about to come on and point this out when i saw this topic which has made me feel a little better knowing its not my save game although you think it could be a save issue which means some files are not bee wrote correctly when been saved or are conflicting with one another or they just aren't been wrote. I'm no modder so i can't help try and sort this issue out only that my problem started after along period of game time had passed.
 
OK, I figured out a simple solution, but you have to have another accessable copy of the game not on disk. I had the original game baseline loaded on an external drive, so I just looked around for the single dialog file in RESOURCE/INI folder and the Common_ItemsTrader c file in the Program/DIALOGS/russian folder and just plopped them in and it works fine now. What I found strange though was that the trader file was just completely missing when I looked at my working version which I found very odd. You can do the same thing for the raper file too.

Still doesn't answer the question why it's happening though. :shrug

good catch :dance well if another modder can take a look who knows the code maybe they can
find the reason,but most of the potc buildmod crew learned by playing around and reading
the tutorials so if ya want and/or have time maybe you can figure it out,never a thing
as too many modders ;)
 
We really need people who play CoAS learn how to BUG fix because we are to busy with the Build Mod to look at the bugs in that game as well as ours, so take a look at the tutorials guys it really isnt that hard ;)
