Hi everyone.

I like EECH and would like to somehow enjoy your mods.
I was reminded again this evening why I have usually stayed away from any modded sim, they suck
away many hours of my time because there is not a path of success to follow.
So I am left with guesswork and trial and error to get any of this stuff going.
I do the research and apply the best advise..... CTD
I have installed EECH and the latest mods according to these instructions...CTD

1) Install EECH original
2) Install the latest mods eech-allmods-1.13.0.exe

I get only immediate CTDs when running the program.
The real problem for me is the variety and quality of install instructions.
The advise on this forum conflicts with itself and leaves me wondering if anyone knows what they
are doing. Some people say run it after install and before the mods, others say DO NOT run it
Nowhere do thes simple instructions say you must have openAL and yet others insist you must have it.
Now what's a reasonable investment of my time to try all this stuff 10 hours? 20 hours?... more?

I have EECH2 installed, does it matter?
I have Zeckensacks Glidewrapper installed, does it matter?
XP SP2, ATI radeon 9800 pro 128, 2 meg ram, AMD XP 2400+

Some thoughtful advise would be appreciated.

Hi Diesel,

I think, and have made this point here already, the problem is that we have lots of people doing mods but nobody actually with an overview of the whole thing.

From my own experience you DO need OpenAL installed.

When I initially got the dreaded CTD I had to delete the .ini and .cfg files in th cohokum directory and let the game recreate them.

That solved the problem for me.


Hope this helps,

Andy

Andy,

Thanks for your response.I will try your CTD fix.
Is this fix referenced anywhere else on this forum or is it yours?
Should it be put into the general "troubleshooting" bag?

Have a great day,
Thomas Plummer

Hi Thomas,

The requirement for OpenAl came from Firebird who modded the game to 1.13.0

The other stuff I just found here by trawling. i did try a lot of other things (reinstalls etc) before I found what worked for me. I think the problem is that we all have very different hardware\operating systems\drivers so there isn't a definitive fix when a problem arises.

Good luck,

Andy
