Okay - serious question - open to anyone reading this for spamming purposes too!
Am making a mod (aren't we all?) which will eventually be for MP as well as SP. I am testing out all the alterations i have made so far - like changeable custom engines, tractors, scanners, hull upgrades, weapons, ships, bases, systems, encounters, mass carnage fights with nomads!...however - i was trying to get to chukogu to utilise some 'premade' systems to ease my pathetic system creation making skills (i can put stuff in systems - just can never make em from scratch as i crash all the time). So - i get to hokkaido.....head to sapporro base and crash to desktop 2k away from it. Not knowing alot about systems - i look at the KU05.ini - and find an exclusion zone. Knowing not to delete it - i make its size down to 1. Now i can dock with the station without a problem.....so i head up to the battleship to try to find that pesky jumphole. Guess what - i crash.....so i fiddle some more and change all exclusion zones, increase the density population possiblities of some zones and so on incase that is the prob. next - i crash if i leave one side of the battleship, but the other side is fine........also i crash as i go off down the disused trade lanes following the nav bouys. Now - does anyone know what the hell is causing this problem? to aid in testing i have used the bootstrap open universe part to get rid of the storyline. (jsut the dll in the bin folder and the M13.ini for the missions folder). What is it about this system that is causing me to crash? There are no capship encounters set for this system - in fact it is untouched - but what is happeneing?? Also - i had to make a jump hole to get to alaska as you crash to desktop trying to use the jumpgate - but you can come back from alaska through the jumpgate no probs!! Anyone have a clue as to what is going on here?
Thanks

Are you using a script?

The script went over 200kb - at that point i switched to files as the scripting at this point somehow doesn't seem to work. Also - as everyone knows you are making a mod, and not to be cagey - but the stuff contained in mine would cut your release date by ages (been working 12 hours a day for nearly 1.5weeks now - thats alot of work). The mod itself is resting roughly at 30mb right now (unzipped) zipped with RAR its abut 5.5mb. The funny thing is that these systems aren't modded at all (it now happens in bretonia too (cambridge) - and i removed the encounters parameters i set in place....nothing else has been touched) and yet i still visit the desktop every time i launch from a station (sometimes i make it too the tradelane, sometimes i don't leave the station, sometimes i am heading to the trade lane - which suggests its an encounters/ patrol problem - however - these haven't been touched. I am wondering if there is an inherrent instability associated with OPEN SP (based loosely round bootstrap for testing purposes only - this will be removed when the mod is released). I thank you for your offer of help - but to put it mildly there are only a few people here that i would trust to look over my mod.......why? Theft of 30hours work is a right b**tard. It undermines the person totally, especially as someone else takes the credit. Basically the people i would let look over it are the people that have nothing to gain from it! ie - Reynen, Giskard, Accushot, Ripperman, Wanderer, Xenocide, Kendo THM and a couple of others i can't remember off hand. I aint saying someone would nick my work - but then again, you can understand the waryness of just handing it over - specially as i have converted lots of planets to be dockable bases now as well - it would be the perfect shortcut for 11 fully functioning bases in only 10 mins.............
So, I am just wondering if anyone knows of any probs associated with OPEN versions of the game. As i said before - these systems aren't modded - so i don't know where the crashes are coming from. All the stuff i have made is stable and working wonders but this prob is holding me back BIG time!!

FL explorer won't help. Last i heard it couldn't debug systems or so on......and seeing as i reinstalled FL, then copied the original Br03.ini from my clean FL and put it into the mod file (so that it was a clean system) and tried that, but only to crash like a b*tch, i am honestly truly and utterly perplexed as to the problem. I can fly round rheinland and liberty all day long in any ship, fighting anything at all without any probs, however several systems just keep on crashing on me. Send the script?? Check out br03.ini and see whats wrong cos that is all it is right now. The same old game file as everyone has..........without anything modded at all in that system. No encounters, no ships, no nothing! So what the hell could be causing it i wonder? I am pulling my hair out and going insane as it makes NO sense whatsoever right now.........all my work is wasted if i can't get this stupid f**kin system to work in which THERE SHOULDN'T BE A GOD DAMNED PROBLEM!!!!!!!
