@ Rankor, There is no such thing as a compatability issue with the SDK's/quickfix, you can use any one you feel like, the problems are to do with FLMM 1.4's coding. As I've said before 1.4's new features interfere with the old features, some older mods won't activate while others don't activate properly, and 80% of them don't deactivate properly leaving you with a HDD full of crap. Even mods built for 1.4 have problems and are not guaranteed to activate/deactivate properly because of the instability of the program.

**shuffles off with a new headache**

You guys are, to say the least, AWESOME!!! I got the v1.31 flmm and it extracted. I can now play single player. I have, my luck, another problem though. I am running flserver in the background while in my game, but my freelancer server (my lan server I've started) does not appear on my list of game's to join. Just when I thought it was all licked! Grrr. Does anyone know what I could possibly do to fix this.
You guys know everything...clever cookies :p

I've also checked the flspew logs and get nowhere on it, the only error that pops up is the standard stuff you can't do anything about. One thing I have found is that ships with two weapons are immune to this. basically, how I test this is I set the hostile NPCs to high around a base and basically watch them get destroyed. Usually, with ships with 3 or more weapons would crash within 5 - 10 min. Ships with two weapons and stock FL ship basically last until I get tired of watching. I have tested this on both single core and dual-core servers (Yes I did set affinity to one processor). Here is the error from the event log.

HEY

Mod:Frontier space versions 1.74 and 1.75.

i followed the instructions for singleplayer installation and then also tried muliplayers.....every time i try to run the game with the mod activated, it says it cannot locate cd, so i put cd in and try again, cannot locate cd, deactivate mod, run freelancer, everythigns fine.....any ideas ?_?

Okay, I'm running a server using Frontierspace 1.75, when I check the console there are only 3 actual errors that I get, Here is the complete initial startup log:

I really need help making tie universe work. When I start it i get this message:

Error: FLMM has determined that 'TIE Universe v2.1' won't properly activate.
Error: Unable to find dest 'archetype = li_dreadnought'(...) in 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\data\ships\loadouts_special.ini'

Any help would be good

E:\FL\Scratch\Source\Common\CExternalEquip.cpp(142) : *** WARNING: CExternalEquip: Object (0x9963c741) missing hardpoint (HpTurret_S1_01) for item (0xb4e69f43)

^^^^^^^^^
this also includes the next several lines that indicate HpTurret_S1_02 through HpTurret_S1_10.
Trouble is, What object and item does this translate to so I can fix it?
I'm guessing it's a station, but what station? The item I guessing is a certain type of turret.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next two errors, I need to find out what specific piece of equipment they are indicating in hexidecimal.

E:\FL\Scratch\Source\Common\CEqObj.cpp(463) : *** WARNING: alloc_equip: Archetype[0xa6dd74ca not supported/equippable!

E:\FL\Scratch\Source\Common\CEqObj.cpp(463) : *** WARNING: alloc_equip: Archetype[0xbba0500d not supported/equippable!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only other errors I'm getting are specifically about a missing exclusion zone linked to asteroids...I can fix that since I know what system it is in.

Jeez do I have to write a tutorial on debugging for idiots as well now.

Rankor get CRCTool and figure out the errors for yourself, if you get an error from custom content we can't help you.

All three errors are to do with loadouts for Solars, the "alloc_equip" are usually from capship bases or wrecks, there are things you can't have equiped to them, engines, tractor beams etc. In fact the wrecks are better not having anything equiped but rather as cargo, stops a crapload of errors for being generated when people loot them.

**shuffles off with a new headache**

Here it goes. Object = either the ship or solar it belongs to and item = the piece of equipment (In this case a turret). Best way to go about this is to open Calculator in windows, go to view and toggle scientific. From here you want to set this on hex (far left) and then copy the hex number and paste it into calculator.

Example:

0x9963c741, remove the 0x and paste this into Calculator (make sure you have it on hex).

Next click on decimal and you have the hash code for that ship, Item, whatever.

In this case

9963c741 = 2573453121 this = nomad_gate

Use the GameData Exporter by Silverfire to generate the hash codes

http://www.lancersreactor.com/t/Downloa ... asp?ID=784

You can do this with any hash code as long as you know where to look.

Also, these
WARNING: alloc_equip: Archetype[0xa6dd74ca not supported/equippable!

Are mostly cause by having equipment on Battleship Bases

Battleships do not need (Or bases for that matter)

Tractor Beams
Engines

Any of these will throw the above error. Also, on wrecks if you have an item marked loot = false it will generate this as well (or if the fuse is not done correctly).

Nightstalker...thanks.

One thing I did notice was the habit of FLEx to add weapons/station loadouts
to nomad gates....when of course they don't have any.
I found out what that was quite by educated guess. So, when I removed the
"loadout" line from the nomad gate...the error went away.
Thing is, I have to go manually find all the nomad gates I installed in my mod
including those I used to replace old "locked" holes or gates to make legal paths.
Probably a simple matter of checking out the "loadouts" of certain battleship
bases also to find unnecessary equipment related to the errors.

That's easy enough. Just takes time by flying though each system and landing at each base. Then checking my server log file for any errors that pop up.

The CRC Calc is a nice tool, BUT..it doesn't translate all those wickedly
baffeling numbers into a meaningful "readable" name that I need.

On battleship station loadouts that could also be a part of this error spew,
I need to figure out how to change those referenced "loadouts" and get rid of
the unnecessary items. I see where "stations" are permitted infinite power and have their usual mounted turrets. However, the battleship (and Osiris) loadouts seem to be including other items not required of "Stations" .

Now, don't go pulling your pistol out just yet....

The source of this inconvenience is the v2.0.6.22 of the FLEx..
and I don't know how to dig into the source file, even less how to program it.
It is a handy program, even if it has it's minor faults.
So, if this happens to be the same version others are using.....
keep an eye out.

Oh, and Bejay....

Nothing special about it Rankor, insomnia and a lot of hard work is all there is to it, the insomnia just means I have more time on my hands than most people do.

---

One thing I did notice was the habit of FLEx to add weapons/station loadouts to nomad gates

---

It allows you to do the same with base voices, you can select any of the voice UTF files for the docking control on your base, even though FL will only accept the three "atc_leg" for that position. Then there's my personal fav, you can stick any faction into any encounter, even if they don't have ships of the proper class for the encounter, or ships of any kind (interspace).

The nomad gate does have a loadout, but iirc all that's in it are effects.

FLE is a good tool if your competant at hand editing the INIs, you find that you have to roll up your sleeves and dive into them more often than not. I've posted this before but I only use FLE to place zones and patrol paths, I then populate them by hand, I don't entirely trust it you see, having rebuilt a number of system INIs for others it's not a surprise really.

Not CRC Calc, but rather CRC Tool

Hi there!
Just bought Freelancer after I played it some years ago. Installed it, played it for some weeks, everythings fine. Now I downloaded TNG 2.7.6 Final from this page and put it in FLMM as instructed. After activating, I tried to launch FL. Unfortunately, it doesn't work ("Please insert correct CD-ROM" ) although the original cd is in and I installed Quickfix v1.0c. As soon as I switch the Mod off, the game works again...

Has anyone an idea??? Thanks in advance!

Edited by - MLBNo52 on 10/24/2007 9:05:33 AM

You can found one No CD for the mod TNG 2.7.6 on the web (use google search).
