Cheers for that. :thup:

It makes sense what you're saying about too many lines. The 'overloading' thing had been mentioned before but I never looked at the number of lines for the individual goal celebrations.

The only four goals that I know caused freezes were all 3-liners. And there's very few three lines commentaries in the game outside goals - there's never time during normal action - so that could explain why it only freezes at a goal.

Now this might be solution, but it will take those having a problem to give it a go. I got rid of the 'jerkyness' by changing the match_sounds file - by changing the pre-cache flag for all sound events, eg from 0,1,2,0 to 0,1,2,1.

This means, as I understand it, that the sound file isn't getting called up each time the event happens and so the match engine can get on with showing the commentary. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I understand how to edit the sound file but not the rest. Each time the event happens? Doesn't it only happen once?

Nice one though. Think this could well be it.

The problem could be around the three-line commentaries, which you have a lot of for goal scoring.

Concur. If you have multipule lines for a goal, it may cause the freeze. I can't recall in my orginal file having three separate lines for any goal scoring, or normal play.

The overload maybe causing the freeze because the game is then trying to replay the goal, but can't cause there is still one line to go.

I'm out of the loop as I don't play the game anymore, and hence haven't installed the game, let alone the file, so please humour me

Is it only happening when replay is ticked, or are people getting this freeze regardless if the replay option is ticked or not?

retired_babyroo

It happens to me and I don't have replay ticked.

Also I had it happen twice in a game. The first time I got past it by doing the overview trick, but the second time this would not work and the only way to get past it was to go on holiday for the day.

Do you remember the celebrations?

And Taipan, you did have a few three line celebrations because I copied them.

retired_maleika

Dungle are you still working with sydney666 to combine your commentary file and his audio file?

I can't gipsy. I'm only on a 50k connection and there's no way I can transfer a 63mb sound file back and forward. I think Sydney's already got a lot done but not necessarily with the Krol version. You'll have to ask him what his plans are (also check out the thread in GQ).

Its just happened to me twice in a game again but this time the overview trick worked both times.

Here are the celebrations:

Its gone in!
Sand jumps and punches the air
he's really fired up here

Sand finds the net!
He kisses the badge on his shirt and jumps in the air
Get in!

It seems to freeze on the second line, so that you don't see all of that line.

Hope this helps.

PS. Despite the problem I still think this is a great piece of work.

Just had my third freeze but the first time ive seen this thread all the way through. now ive just gone one nil up with this goal and its a 3 line commentary as follows;

Its there, Maciot scores!
Theres pandemonium in the stands!
the lanzarote fans chant Maciots name

so i came on here and saw by rewatching the replay the match could start again. great did that lovely, got to half time, im still one nil up.

here is where it gets odd, i just went and checked the match report, and i can see the report right through to ninety minutes now, its as though the game has already been played!

Now reading the match report i can see that maciot scores a second in the 63rd minute 'and thats the second for him' and there is a full report up till 90 minutes however the socre on the right hand side of the green bar separating highlights always remains at one nil. Im going to play the second half now and see what happens, i will save the game and if you want it iill try and get it to you!!

otherwise, great patch lol!

rebecca.melton

and so the strangeness continues, the second half played out EXACTLY as the match report at half time told me it would, maciot got his second and i purposely didnt make any substitutions so nothing changed so you can see it. Lovely 3 points for me, very odd occurence withthe patch!!
