ship ini check

This is my first time ini'ing for a custom ship, and would like a experienced eye to check and make sure that what I have done so far is correct.
Using the Dritz 4.0 tutorial and the Defender as a guide, I have created the proper files for FL, but would like to have some1 confirm that everything looks alright. Everything is copied from the inis refered by the tut, then modified by me as needed or desired.

From Goods.ini:
[Good
nickname = bhelitelite_hull
category = shiphull
ship = bhelitelight
price = 10400
ids_name = 463756
item_icon = Equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\li_elite.3db

addon = DockingLightRedSmall, HpDockLight02, 1

From engine_equip:

lootable = false

market_ships:
[BaseGood
base = VZ01_01_Base
marketgood = bhelitelite_package, 1, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1

the ship_arch I haven't adjusted to my needs yet, so it is still the default code for the Defender. A question tho, Concerning the guns in the ship_arch file...
There is a line of code referring to a "hp_type = hp_gun_special_4, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02" Does the hp_gun_special_4 mean that is the class of the weapon, AKA, a Class 4 gun?

Yes, hp_gun_special_4 is a Class 4 gun. So it means that a Class 4 gun can be mounted on HpWeapon01 and HpWeapon02.

And everything else looks alright. But you'd have to activate it and try it out to be sure. If it crashes, post the last bit of your FLSpew log here, or use FLScan or some other mod error checker to look for your problem.

Well, after some typo errors, I still have a FLSpew error coming up:
WARNING:General:invalid light detected: atten all zero

I wish I could post some screenies here...for some reason as of my last test, durring the in space docking animation, all you could see is the engine glow. Any suggestions?

in the
<pre><font size=1 face=Courier>
[Good
nickname = bhelitelite_package
category = ship
hull = bhelitelite
</font></pre>
section, it should read "hull = bhelitelite_hull"

Other than that, looks good to me :p . For the lights, I'm not sure if you've modified them but from your post it would seem so. Should run through the light_equip.ini and verify that the lights you are including in the package have valid entries (compare to other similar lights; SlowSmallBlue with SlowSmallRed)

That "Light" error you're referring to looks like a system light problem..not related to a ship.
