Can't go anywhere beyond main menu without crashing!

[GoogleCodeExporter]

No New Game, no Load Game, no Super Melee!
I'm allowed to go only to the game setup screen without crashing.

Also there is no menu sound!

I was about to post the same thing. I'm having the same issue. Running the 
p6014-debug.exe. Everything is up to date.

I was making some steps back in revisions and the problem seems to be caused 
somewhere between r2120 and r2125.

Doesn't happen in a fresh Linux build in r2132.  I'll check Windoze.

PS. I think the Verified status is causing a bit of confusion, so setting it 
back to New.  (Verified kind of means "yes we've verified that this issue is 
completely fixed" though we've used it in several different ways looking at the 
other issues.)

It's just p6014-debug.exe being out of date I think?  When I run that it 
crashes doing anything from the menu, no debug log window though.

When I compile myself there are no issues.

It's because I removed the unused bullet hole graphics, that I planned eons ago 
to display "critical damage" to player's ship at status bar. (The "critical 
damage" system was to incur temporary/permanent malfunctions such as lowered 
high speed/acceleration/non working captain screen etc. Then we decided not to 
change melee mechanics. Ah, well).

Anyway, see this in your stderr.txt: "Trying to get undefined resource 
'graphics.bulletholes'"? 
I removed the reference to 'graphics.bulletholes' from uqm.rmp, hires2x.rmp and 
hires4x.rmp (as well as the .ani and .png files). 

If your .exe is out of date, it will try to locate those files, can't find 'em 
and terminates. Fresh builds shouldn't do that, like Edmund experienced.

I s'pose we can call this solved.
