I have shockwave .93

All i want to do is alter the specialpowers.ini to increase reload time. No biggie right? i extract specialpowers.ini into the INI folder.

Let me stop there and say that just doing this alone, with no editting or anything else, will cause my game not to start. Ive looked at the crash info and it tells me the line where its messed up, but the problem is that the line ISNT messed up. I didnt change anything so how could it be? i check it against the original INIZH file and its fine, but yet my game crashes at the loading screen reporting technical difficulties.

So step one is figuring out why this happens.

On a odd side note, this happens almost anytime i extract an .ini file into the INI folder. I have managed to edit weapons.ini and extract it AND have the game run with the edits working, but this is the only .ini file i can do this with it seems.

Remember, when im trying to extract the specialpowers.ini file, i have editted nothing and it still crashes.

ANy ideas - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks

I got a few ideas...

1) maybe you not extracting them right
2)maybe you have pieces of another mod installed
3)be careful where you place you ini files

You're not using a No-CD crack/patch are you?

Your extracting from shockwave's BIG file, not zerohour's ZHINI.big right?

thanks for the suggestions:

ok heres what i know.

The ini' sare going in the right place
There are no other mods installed on ZH, i havent installed another mod on ZH
I am not using a No Cd crack
There is not shockwave.big file. SHockwave simply editted the original INIZH file so that is the file i am using. If there is a shockwave.big file - i have no idea where it is becasue ive looked pretty hard.

THanks for the help but keep it coming. THis thing still wont work and its really anjnoying

Ah! (just downloaded shockwave), it's 0SW93.gib, open it w/ your BIG extractor or rename it to a .big extension and open it.
