hi, try this:

should work

Looks like your trying to equip something onto a nonexistant hardpoint... is your loadout for it the same as the one in the mission? If not, try switching them and see what happens...

I try to play on the server without the encounter
but the error is there too

i my opinion this is a normal error of FL server
but i have problems with the encounter

encounter = prison_liner, 19, 0.120000
fraktion = li_n_grp, 0.260000
fraktion = ku_n_grp, 0.260000

that should be faction not fraktion.

You have got Eagle Eyes^^ but this is an older version of the zone in LI

here the newest

You have the faction_weight total too high (over 100 total). It should not be more than 100 total.

You have...
<ul>faction_weight = ku_n_grp, 12
faction_weight = li_p_grp_prisoners, 4
faction_weight = co_be_grp, 10
faction_weight = co_hsp_grp, 10
faction_weight = co_kt_grp, 10
faction_weight = co_me_grp, 10
faction_weight = co_nws_grp, 10
faction_weight = co_ni_grp, 10
faction_weight = co_os_grp, 4
faction_weight = co_rs_grp, 10
faction_weight = co_shi_grp, 10
faction_weight = co_ss_grp, 10
faction_weight = co_vr_grp, 8
faction_weight = gd_bh_grp, 3</ul>

Edit it to more like this...
<ul>faction_weight = ku_n_grp, 6
faction_weight = li_p_grp_prisoners, 6
faction_weight = co_be_grp, 6
faction_weight = co_hsp_grp, 6
faction_weight = co_kt_grp, 6
faction_weight = co_me_grp, 6
faction_weight = co_nws_grp, 6
faction_weight = co_ni_grp, 6
faction_weight = co_os_grp, 6
faction_weight = co_rs_grp, 6
faction_weight = co_shi_grp, 6
faction_weight = co_ss_grp, 6
faction_weight = co_vr_grp, 6
faction_weight = gd_bh_grp, 6</ul>

Eh! BP faction_weight can be higher than 100, that zone is over 100 in vanilla, the individual weights can't be over 20, and it's the percentages that can't be over 100 or 1.000000.

@ [HAWalker,
formation = gunboats, gunboat_wall
formation = cruisers, cruiser_wall
formation = battleships, battleship_wall
formation = Prison_liner, Prison_liner_wall

Do you have that ship class or not, as that line reads as formation = ship_class, formation.

**shuffles off with a new headache**

Then it's an error in vanilla.
Do you think I just pull these things out of my imagination?
Don't you think I can find out this information from the right people?

Hands Bejaymac a bottle of aspirin's for his constant headaches...

faction weight does not matter at all anyways as regards the spawning encounters, does it ?!?

The encounter spawn chance is only determined by the float numbers representing the specific encounter IMO.

oh and what holy source do you have backedpotato? Do you know some FL Developers that you just ask or what?
