@Bejaymac, I thought i added a general infocardmap of "no further details available" for the majority of the bases. I just couldn't face it. I'll have a look through a few things and see if i get anywhere.
Got to admit, i'm not too sharp with the alpha channels. I think i just had a go and then left it when it didn't work.
I used to play Frontier on the Amiga and combat was totally different. You could use the autopilot in combat to line up early then arc off just as they started firing. With the pc version its like trying to hit a fast moving pixel with a gun that isn't there 80% of the time. Not a lot of fun..

@Highwayman, you're buying the Thargoid Warship already? I'll take a look and see whats going on. Cheers for you comments buy the way.

@ Highwayman, yup you're right. In Goods.ini the ship package has a mis-spelt engine for the Thargoid Warship it says:
Thargon_sup_engine_01
instead of..
Thargon_HF_sup_engine_01

To fix:
01. Open up equipment/goods.ini
02. Search for "thargoidwarship_package"
03. Look for the "Thargon_sup_engine_01" and replace with "Thargon_HF_sup_engine_01"
04. Save
All of these fixes will be sorted for the next release.
If anyone has any other posts regarding secrets or hidden away areas of the mod could you post "***Spoiler**" in the topic, just for people who likes suprises. I just think it would be better.

Mace

you have done a remarkable job on the Frontierspace mod - I dl'ed it earlier. I don't want to sound critical but I did experience a couple of problems with CTDs.

In NY, with the starting Startracker I docked at a couple of bases to check out what is on sale - goods, commodities and ships. At Wilkinson Stronghold, I visited the commodity trader, equipment dealer and ship dealer. When I clicked on the ship dealer I got a CTD.

I reloaded FLMM and tried again. This time I could click on the ship dealer o.k. Went down the trade lane to Ithaca and got killed by a bunch of Outcasts. I didn't run as I wanted to see how tough they were. I then hit the "reload autosave". Back at Wilkinson Stronghold. Clicked the commodity trader, equipment dealer and ship dealer. When I clicked on the ship dealer I got a CTD again.

No other mods active and this is a clean install of FL 1.0, FLMM 1.3 and the SDK 1.3 files.

FLMM shows Frontierspace Server Operator V1.0 and Frontierspace OpenSP V1.0 are active. These came from the zip "Frontierspace_ver1.1_Complete.zip" that is third from the top of the TLR downloads page (this morning anyway).

Hey.

First of all; great job on this mod! This is really a dream coming true. I love how you redid the systems and all.

I have a tiny bug to report, maybe you already knew it, but nevertheless:

I did some courier cruising from westpoint to LPI, where i tranported Med prisoner Transfer. Destintion: LPI Hutsvile. Got there in time, got my cash and took the same prisoner transport with destination: fort bush. I got in fort bush and was shocked to find that i only recieved 8$ for 1 prisoner transfer. LPI offered the most for it.

A tiny bug, but its nothing considering the greatness of this mod!

A question: Some friend and me wanna play this mod online. Is there any server currently hosting it?

@Red777, I tried reproducing the Wilkinson crash but it didn't work. Which ship were you using?
@Coltzero, actually that means that a whole bunch of them are wrong. Ok, here's the fix:
01. Open up equipment/market_commodities.ini
02. Choose edit>Replace from the top menu
03. Input exactly ", 0, 0.200000, 0, 1, 12.500000"
04. Then replace with (exactly) ", 0, 0.200000, 0, 0, 1, 12.500000"
05. Then choose replace all
06. It'll take a while sorting through quite a few courier commods.
07. The input a different replace ", 0, 0.350000, 0, 1, 11.666670"
08. With ", 0, 0.350000, 0, 0 , 1, 11.666670"
07. Save
You might notice that the origianl entries had a ",0" this will sort through them and ensure you get paid for the work you do.
If you don't want to do the fix, then just avoid doing courier jobs for either 0.2 or 0.35 reputation.
FunFunFun has posted that they are planning to run the mod online. See news for a link to their forum for server rules.

'Lo again. Its the CTE 1270AV Startracker - the default one for single player. I haven't changed any of the original equipment yet. I clicked on the ship dealer after I checked the details above and this took me straight to the desktop, so that is 3 times out of 4. Hopefully you won't have too much trouble finding the problem, but if it proves time-consuming I'll just avoid the ship dealer there for now.

Anyhow, I gotta go and check out some of these new sectors....

Made some progress on the Wilkinson crash. It seems to be base population related. By deleting the entries for li01_22 the crash has stopped. I'll find the exact reason soon and upload a fix.
Red777, you could try popping to Colorado>Boston, there's a region called "New Liberty". You might need to upgrade your ship a bit first, it is a bit of a jump.

ok, I'll try the suggestion, but...

played for another hour and had another 2 CTDs.

First, just left Cali. Minor and tried to dock with the trade lane to Planet los Angeles.

Second, after reloading thru FLMM, got to Planet LA, undocked at Planet Los Angeles and clicked dock at the trade lane and CTD.

FLSpit output follows: (Mods pls tell me if I shouldn't post this)

Okay after getting 4 HTTP 500 internal server errors trying to post this, I'm gonna break it up into chunks. Here is the first one.

I'm sorry Mace, I've tried to post the rest of the output but I keep getting this http 500 error, even tho' I've chopped the post size down. If you want the output file I can email it to you. Otherwise I'll just back it up for now and try yr. suggestion.

cheers...

Post Fri Jun 16, 2006 12:00 pm

I also found I've quite a long FLSpew (1105 kb) after flying around in the Ros-154 system. Many of its errors are double; I'll try to give an abbreviated oversight:

1. numerous

[Simple nickname = 0x825f8f4e value is not unique. Aborted second version.

Probably becasue you uses cloned ships; I'm not sure but I believe the simples don't need be to be ducplicated (at least when I removed them from one of my mods, these errors where gone and I didn't experience any disadvantages)

2. about 20 ERROR: ArchDB::Get(0x89b1d005) failed. ID=-1984835579 errors

with the numbers varying

3. One WARNING: [Ship nickname = 0xada42c42 value is not unique. Aborted second version.

4. numerous ERROR: Invalid ini block in file ..\data\Universe\Systems\EW25\Bases\EW25_01_Base.ini for many bases

5. A whoe bunch of ERROR: No valid archetype for prop $terrain_tiny , these usually occur when you forget to set up the rocky things in universe,ini (rocky bases need stuff added to them)

there's more but I gotta go! I can email.

Btw these errors did not in any way hinder my gameplay. Evenrything runs smooth!

Post Fri Jun 16, 2006 1:53 pm

Thanks for sending me the FlSpit stuff, but please I beg of you no more. I've been sent couple of flspits already and have generated another myself, so its ok, but i don't really need any more for the time being.
Some of the ships like for example the sabre do have (i think) 7 versions and i kept the simple entries below them as i thought they were needed. If not then ok, i can quite easily fix them anyway. That will probably get rid of more than 3 hundred errors.
The invalid ini block (as Bejaymac has already helped me) is an added open and close bracket in the base ini files generated by one of the mod tools.
Is the ERROR: No valid archetype for prop $terrain_tiny really due to no bits flying past the bar? Well, thats pretty dumb. I hadn't heard of that one before.
I'll see if i can sort something out with the California crashes. I think its going to be the patrol to willard (with none of that population at Cal Minor).
For SP i was pretty sure it was only trade patrols that needed base population, MP seems to need base pop for any patrols.
Looks like i've got a lot of work on my hands.

Post Fri Jun 16, 2006 3:41 pm

Mace these are easy to fix:-

ERROR: ArchDB::Get(0x89b1d005) failed. ID=-1984835579
ERROR: ArchDB::Get(0xa0e5e288) failed. ID=-1595547000

Open select_equip.ini and right at the top you'll see 12 or so commodities, move them to the bottom of the file to get rid of the errors. You were asking for an architype that doesn't get created until later in that file (cargopod_blue & lootcrate_blue).

WARNING: [Ship nickname = 0xada42c42 is or_elite_msn01 just had a look and found 2 of them in the shiparch.

Long range missions I take it there was no way to create waypoints for them. I bought one in Beta Hydra for Sohoa and thought where the F*ck's that, I had to dig out FLE to get a look at the universe map.

**shuffles of with a new headache**

Lol, yeah it can be a bit like that. If you're thinking of attacking the Imperium, best thing you could do (without FLE) is slip into something more comfortable (like a LF/HF intercepter), get un-hostile with a few pirate groups and scout out a few systems. You're going to want a max level ship to do the actual attack.
Best way to attack the Imperium is to go to Andcefa (Ross-154>Miogre>Liabefa>Andcefa) and to the north of the Andcefa>Liabefa jumpgate is a jumphole to Veareth (Imperial space). Its something of a backdoor. When in Veareth if you follow the NE patrol you end up at Quirium. Which if you follow the patrols is a Raider base.
Or, (in Veareth) if you head to the NW patrol, you end up at a Sons of the Free base. They are a terrorist group (who allow pirates access to their bases).
If you follow the patrol to the NNE of the base there's a jump hole to Sohoa. On the other side of the jump hole is another Sons of the free base.

Cheers for the tip about the "ERROR: ArchDB::Get(0xa0e5e288", sounds a lot easier when you know what it actually has a problem with.

I think i found another little bug this time with the jettan nial heavy fighter
in the ship upgrade slots(it has 4) when you equip 1 upgrade it shows 2 of the same than when trying to equip tyhe third it takes your money(when buying it from a base)but does not show the upgrade

Post Fri Jun 16, 2006 10:00 pm

Mace, I am loving this mod more and more every time I play it! So far, I have visited around 55 sytems, visited most "friendly" bases with no major bugs to report. A few minor graphic glitches here and there but nothing that causes any probs.

Have to gripe about something. How the @$%& do I get a better rep with The Order? I have done everything but stand on my head and spit quarters for them I've wasted Nomads, Shadows, Thargons, Slave Traders and Imperium by the boat-load and my rep is STILL neutral.

I want that Anubis Custom dammit

You weren't kidding when you say in your desciption of the mod that reps are MUCH harder to increase/decrease. The Sons of the Free are VERY hostile to me for no reason....they are an ally of the Federation and my rep with all factions of the Fed. are as good as they can be.
