Game crashes when adding ships

Sat Apr 01, 2006 5:45 pm by Xca|iber

Hello all!
I recently downloaded Archedyne's Federation ship pack v2.0, and I wanted to add some more Star Trek ships to it. So I downloaded Solurus 1.3, WTS 2.0, and Mysteries of the Nebula so I could get some more ships. I got 3 of the ships I added to work, but when I tried to get the Romulan Warbird, it crashed as soon as I clicked on the ship. Now it seems that only the first three ships I added work. Please find something wrong with my code! BTW: I did remember to also move the cmp's, mat's, sur's, and 3db's. I also changed the DA_Archetype paths in each file.

>, you may want to consider creating a name, rather than a symbol.

Adding a ship has several things, not just the ship in ShipArch. Check the other things needed, as in effect, weps, see what is in the goods file and that you have those things needed.

I learned to pull ships as well, trying them out. You can't miss ANY thing or it crashes. Test it, subing for a ship on Manhatten.

Thank you Finalday for responding so quickly. About the stuff in goods.ini: that was the other place I looked, and I can't see anyplace that would cause a crash. the unique weapons all work, so I don't think those are the problem. but here is my other code anyway.

oh and, about the name: it was supposed to be Xen()morph, where the X was the greaterthan-lessthan symbols. Didn't think it would not include the other stuff!

Sat Apr 01, 2006 6:56 pm by Xca|iber

Oh and, BTW, I have been having the same problem with the Achilles, Galaxy, and K'tinga ships that I added. I did not, however, have a problem adding the Peregrine, Klingon Dreadnought, and Klingon Bird of Prey. Weird? Perhaps something is wrong with my cmp's...

Sun Apr 02, 2006 2:39 am by Chips

Maybe it's all the periperhal equipment you've added? Your goods.ini entry shows a lot of custom additions - weapons, power plants, engines etc. Any one of those could cause the errors. Simply put ORIGINAL ships engine/power plant and scaner in (and only those, forget guns/equipment/lights) and see if you can buy it.

Sun Apr 02, 2006 6:38 am by Xca|iber

Thank you - I'll try that. The really strange thing is that I got the warbird to work only once, and when I moved it to another station, it started crashing again. But you're right, all the ships that seem to crash have over 6 weapons attached to them, the Bird of Prey only has 3, the peregrine only has 5, and the dreadnought has well, lots, but it works too. The three that don't work have upwards of 8 weapons.

EDIT: Just tried it and it works perfectly, unfortunately, I put a 300,000 credit shield on it, and that is a lot more than my openSp starts me with, but everything seems to be fine. Thank you Finalday and Chips!

I have another question regarding the Achilles starship...
-My mat path is correct and the mat file is there, but the ship is invisible!
I'm not sure what to do, but I'll look around. Any help would be most appreciated!

EDIT: Scratch that, it is only invisible in the shipdealer.

It could be "LOD" ranges as defined in the shiparch.ini file. Custom ships only have one level of detail range (never met one with more than one) so if your LOD is like this:

LODranges = 0, 60, 120, 1000

Then you won't see the ship until you are within "60 feet" of it (or whatever the game distance actually is).
To be safe, shove the range at:
LODranges = 0, 3000

Mon Apr 03, 2006 9:10 am by Xca|iber

Yeah, that's it, cause when I moved it to a different spot in the ship dealer, it is visible.
