A few problems, if anyone cares.

Mon May 31, 2004 4:22 pm by {Sunblades}_Slicer

I am very new to modding, and I've had a few problems:
A: The CMP exporter I'm supposed to use? Well, the page it's downloaded from is gone.
B: Once I'v fully done a ship in ShipScripter, when I try to load the mod up with FL, the game crashes. (I already tried deleting the autosave)
C: Using FLExplorer to design systems, when I load up my finished mod, FL crashes!
Dose anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

A) Here

Umm... is the ship the reason you need the CMP exporter? If not, make sure that you have a HpMount.
C) Yeah, FLE causes a LOT of problems (at least, it does for me). If you know how to go through the code, you could try cleaning out the garbage. It also depends on the stuff you've put into your system, any type of field can cause crashes easily, especially in FLE.

I have no idea about 1 or 2 since I've never tried it..

We're gonna need alot more detail on 3 if you want us to solve it, but if you mean the game crashes to desktop upon entrance to the system, it could be a few things... the most common thing that happens to me when using FLE is that FLE stupidly makes an asteriod field listed as a nebula or a nebula listed as an asteriod field.

To fix this look at your system.ini , and look for the lines [asteroid and [nebula. Make sure they are properly linked (solars/nebula/li01badlandnebula.ini for example) and make sure they have the right tag.

Also when editing fields and nebulas, sometimes FLE creates new ones instead of editing the original. Make sure you dont have 'ghost' entries. Go to your ini and look at the [nebula and [asteriod entries again, and make sure each of them is linked to a zone, and that the ini actully has a [zone entry, if it doesnt, then its probably an old one delted by fle, and it causes a crash when you go into the system.

I usually just use fl explorer to lay out the bases, lanes, gates, fields and pop zones.. I do alot of the complex editing with notepad, and the ids info seperatly from FLE, since it seems to make a mess of ids.
Have fun with Mbases.ini when you get there... taht things a nightmare lol.

Go to the Editing Utilities Forum for 3. Give as much detail as you can, and either myself or someone else will help you with it. I've helped a few people out before concerning FLE
