Equipment bay bug

Mon Mar 26, 2007 3:13 pm by darkvesperia

I dunno if this is a common issue but it seems in Bretonia whenever I scroll down in the equipment dealer my game crashes..i suspect it has to do with the star killer torpedo entry. Does anyone know a fix for this I have no mods installed except of the SDK fixes

Get your hands on the FL Scan tool. It'll find what the problem is and at least give you some ideas how to fix it.

I can't seem to find the tool can you point me towards it

EDIT: i found it but i'll have to decipher it later when i have more time...the only thing i saw though was something about torp launcher as a ship class

Okay, you're halfway there. You found the problem. If you click on the line that shows what the error is, it sould open up further with more information.

At least you seem to be right on the mark about a torpedo being the problem.

Error ID: 1703 - Mission ship links to invalid NPC
Description: The mission ship references an NPC object that does not exist.
Possible Fix: Point the ship to a valid NPC object or create an NPC with the nickname specified here.

The ship named "torp_launcher" references an NPC that does not exist, "torp_launcher_m01a"

that is what i'm refering to so any further suggestions

There is a "story line" fix download that will correct this problem and save you a lot of headaches. It's a pretty recent developement so if you check in the downloads section, you may find it.

I used that patch and the specirfic problem I'm having with the equipment dealer is still there...and I don't know where to turn to now

take a closer look into the mission 01 ini files. Check for differences there.
It may have something to do with the specific loadout of the npc vs the equipment ini file.

umm sorry but may I ask what mission one would have to do with freelancer
crashing everytime i see a star killer torpedo in the dealer window

I just realized something else to describe the probel. Sometimes I can see it before it crashes and there appears to be no picture for ther star killer torpedo

Are you sure you did not mod this at all??
Are you playing the storyline or open SP???
It sounds like something in the equipment folder.
Therefore, it would not have anything to do with the mission folders. As you said your in Bretonia and trying to buy from an Equipment dealer.
If you got this from a free D/L that also might be your problem.
Reinstall Freelancer then run the SDK 1.5 or 1.3 that should fix your problem.

well now i'm in kusari and the same problem...and yes i'm absolutely sure oh and this is during the campaign...I would use the official patches and see if that helps but because I lsot my CD I had to get a no-cd key...and for all those who wonder no I will not tell you where.

Already tried SDK 1.3 oh well i guess i can go through the game with out torps
