faction help

ok, so ive added a new faction with its own ships, and weapons/scanner/thruster, and added an encounter to infront of manhatten, but i get a missing equipment archtype error on the console, and the server crashes when ever i fly into the zone, or launch from manhatten.

ive checked over my equipment and its all been added as far as i can see.

anyone got any other ideas?

need more info i guess ..

first thing that comes to mind: if you forgot putting a shortcut for the new encounter to your system.ini, the game will crash whenever you trying to launch to space ..

You have got an archetype error whenever you launch - hmm, that is a very common problem.

As for the crash.

Simple - you have made a mistake somewhere....its THAT easy.

The mistakes location could be any of the files you moded, but whenever it tries to spawn your faction - it crashes. I would have thought einstein wouldn't be needed to see relationship for that one

Okay - debug time - remove all links in faction_prop.ini file to your faction, and copy the rogues one (or a legal faction like the cops if they are good guys etc) to the bottom of file. Now change the nickname to your faction.

Now copy a rogue or police encounter to the zone instead of the one you have, then boot her up and see if you can see your faction flying those or not.

This means its either:

A) The faction_prop/npcships/loadouts.ini files OR

Its the initial_world/empathy.ini files

My guess is A, and its time to go over EVERYTHING with a fine tooth comb. There is nothing we can do for you here, time to really get cracking with full on debug!!!!
