Making station question

Hi, ive searched the forums and cant find an answer to my question.
Im making a mod that will require a server and client side mod to be run, in the mod I have built new systems, the problem im having is with ships, I can purchase them but when I try to take off I get kicked, can i fix the server to allow this ? I cant work out why the server is disallowing this when both the client and server are running the same files, also im running my test server and game on the same computer, so there using the same files, will this cause me problems.
Please dont tell me this has been answered before, I have looked but cant fine it.

With Thanks Jack (jack was taken so Jac user will have to do ;-) )

have you checked to see of all the entried for the ships are correct?? i have made a very minute spelling error and it caused it to crash...another thing could be the IDS might be a conflict.....

and finally are there any and i mean ANY nebulas, asteriod fields and or patrols that are making a crash?sometimes when an encounter comes into an area it will crash the game no matter what you do even if it is not the ships you are trying to use....

are you using FLE..(Freelancer Explorer)? sometimes you gotta go and manually check the ini's and see if all the data is actually there and completely intact..

finally try to use the mod in single player and access the ships there.....if the ships in question crash teh game...then it is all about your ships....but CHECK everything you have done with the ships...

Ahh you saying that, I did have a patrol outside the planet before I noticed that the planet zone is larger than the planet in FLexplorer, I probely crossed the patrol path over the planet zone. Unfortuantly ive deleted it now coz it annoyed me so much, but i bet that was the cause.

probobly th little glitch.....but make sure you check after every major thing you do in FLE....it is a great START for system creation...but like EVERYONE will tell ya...you gots to do a LOT of ini editing to perfect the mod and fix all those nagging and annoying little bugs.

but good luck if anything else is needed just ask i can help
