Bah! What''s causing this server error?

I'm getting the following error message and a server crash, when trying to exit Detroit in my mod. I hadn't changed anything about Detroit aside from what it sells, so I was kind've confused... what's going on here?

E:\FL\Scratch\Source\Common\CSolar.cpp(109) : *** ERROR: 0xb32d168a is dockable, but doesn't have a valid base or system to go to

I'm not quite sure (yet) what caused this, but I have a feeling that it's a bad Solararch.ini entry. I did a bunch of find-and-replace operations on this file, to fix docking problems, and I probably screwed something up.

Replacing solararch.ini with the original seems to have gotten rid of this problem... of course, now I have to go re-edit the whole thing... grumble...

I've re-edited solararch.ini, and everything seems to be resolved. Going to do some further fooling about... might as well start looking at what it's going to take to replace the current Solars, which are just about totally not what I need for this mod

Well you must have changed something. This error message comes from a base that you have declared somewhere as a base, but the base is not dockable because the archtype is not of a dockable type. If you could decypher the hexadecimal hash code you would end up with the name.

I'm pretty sure what happened here was that I screwed up the docking radii entries with my first (crude) attempts to fix their behavior (I needed to increase the radii in order to fix docking problems with the larger-than-usual planned objects in the mod).

As I said above, this seems to have been resolved, at least for now

I have no doubt I'll screw it up again at some point, but at least now I have a clue what's going on... which is unusual

Argh:
The:
E:\FL\Scratch\Source\Common\CSolar.cpp(109) : *** ERROR: 0xb32d168a is dockable, but doesn't have a valid base or system to go to
message is caused by using a dockable object as space debris, or by using it as an attachment to another dockable object that you have designated as docking with a base, or system.
Several rocks, frags, depots, even gates, and the mplatform, can cause this error.
Simply add a line with "parent = base."
Where base is the nearest dockable base to the object.
If you check out the Br04.ini file, you'll discover that several miners have been given a parent of a base that is several kilometers away.

Watch your 6!
