Missions: It just won't start!

I can’t say currectly because it happens in Rh04 and it spawns me at FP7 without the changes. FLSpew says nothing.
If you wanna have a look, heres what I made:[Mission] mission_title = 1 mission_offer = 1 reward = 4000 npc_ship_file = missions\m01a\npcships.ini [NPC] nickname = fauxplayer affiliation = rh_n_grp npc_ship_arch = fauxplayer individual_name = 1 [NPC] nickname = r_bs_m01a affiliation = rh_n_grp npc_ship_arch = MSN01a_battleship voice = donau_voice_m01a space_costume = rh_captain_head, rh_male_elite_body, prop_neuralnet_D individual_name = 237049 [MsnShip] nickname = r_bs_m01a NPC = r_bs_m01a position = 30000, 1000, -30000 orientation = 0, 0, 0, 0 random_name = false radius = 0 [NPC] nickname = training_target affiliation = fc_rn_grp npc_ship_arch = MSN01a_training_target individual_name = 1 [MsnShip] nickname = training_target NPC = training_traget position = 30000, 700, -30000 orientation = 0, 0, 0, 0 random_name = false radius = 0 [ObjList] nickname = R_BS_stand Avoidance = true [ObjList] nickname = runaway Avoidance = false GotoVec = goto_no_cruise, 31000, 0, -31000, 100, false, 100 [NNObjective] nickname = mlog_launch state = HIDDEN type = navmarker, Rh04, 21825, 0, 30000, 0, -30000 [NNObjective] nickname = mlog_start state = HIDDEN type = ids, 21810 [Trigger] nickname = in_the_beginning_there_was_dark system = Rh04 Act_NNIds = 30000, HISTORY Act_NNIds = 30005, HISTORY Act_SpawnShip = r_bs_m01a, R_BS_stand Act_SetNNState = mlog_launch, ACTIVE Act_ActTrig = will_there_be_light [Trigger] nickname = will_there_be_light system = Rh04 Act_Popupdialog = 21925, CLOSE Cnd_SpaceEnter = no_params Act_ActTrig = GoGoGo [Trigger] nickname = GoGoGo system = Rh04 Act_SpawnShip = training_target, runaway, 10000, 700, -10000 Act_SetVibe = training_target, Player, REP_FRIEND_MAXIMUM Act_SetVibe = training_target, r_bs_m01a, REP_FRIEND_MAXIMUM Act_ActTrig = FIGHT [Trigger] nickname = FIGHT system = Rh04 Act_SetVibe = training_target, Player, REP_HOSTILE_MAXIMUM Act_SetNNState = mlog_start, ACTIVE Act_SetNNObj = mlog_start -

**EDIT:**I give up… The game is just teasing me! Without the FP7 scene it just won’t load the mission in any system! Its like when I make a mission I can’t succeed and if anybody ealse does it, a great success! Maby starting from Mission1b will work…?

Have you tried your mission with the starting state = ACTIVE ?
Seems that you are not on a mission. i could be wrong, but i think its worth making the 1st trigger active.
or try this…
[Trigger]
nickname = in_the_beginning_there_was_dark
system = Rh04
InitState = ACTIVE
Cnd_True = no_params
Act_ForceLand = Rh04_01_Base <– or where ever
Act_SetShipAndLoadout = <– ship, loadout (i think)
Act_NNIds = 30000, HISTORY
Act_NNIds = 30005, HISTORY
Act_SpawnShip = r_bs_m01a, R_BS_stand
Act_SetNNState = mlog_launch, ACTIVE
Act_ActTrig = will_there_be_lightAlso i usually dont try to spawn ships/objects untill…
Cnd_LaunchComplete = Player
Happens.
This is untested because i havent got time at the moment, but i will give it a go over the weekend, and let ya know if i get any results. -

THANK YOU SO MUCH!EDIT: After fixing it, I had a bug with the launch. I launched and the game crushed. At first I thought its because the Battleship’s ObjList is empty so I changed it to a solar. After that, it still crushes! Something must be wrong with the 2nd trigger that I can’t find out…
[Trigger] nickname = will_there_be_light system = Rh04 Cnd_LaunchComplete = Player Act_SpawnSolar = r_bs_m01a Act_ActTrig = GoGoGo -
i’m not 100% on this but the problem maybe the order of your code.
i think the missions read like this…
[Mission] <– mission number etc
[NNObjective] <– whats the player gonna do
[NPC] <– list all your npc ships
[MsnSolar] <– any solars to be used
[MsnShip] <– identify the npc you want
[MsnFormation] <– any formations you want to make from the npc
[ObjList] <– whats the npc gonna do
[Trigger] <– starts and links
Whenever i get stuck i always go back to the bible:
http://freelancercommunity.net/viewtopic.php?t=511
Gonna go try your code and re-structure it to see if that helps.

I’ve had a quick try at your code and ran into a few problems straight away.
Dont know if this happens for you or not but the popup dialog made me crash, and whenever i tried spawning r_bs_m01a it crashed.
I changed the popup dialog to be an empty dll (so an empty box popped up)- fixed the first issue.
Act_Popupdialog = 60253, 60254, CLOSE
I dont know how you have the r_bs_m01a set in the npcships.ini but i made my own (still with crashes) it maybe because of the objective you have given to it.
After making a few edits and removed some stuff i got no crashes, i also re-structured the mission a little bit and seems to work ok so far.
Gotta go out for a while, but when i get home i’ll have another crack at it, then either send ya or post any results here. -

I want it full, not empty.

I told you I replaced it with a solar. Maby the problem is with the label, it must be in the entry or only if the object is attached to something?

do we assume that this solar is existing in a solararch file, has a fitting loadout and is defined as base in universe.ini? try to look at the osiris from the original game, guess that’s what you want your launch battleship to be like.Actually, it isn’t my launch battleship, its my reach battleship.
The point is that wether its a solar or a ship, it just won’t spawn! It starts the 1st trigger and doesn’t pass to the next one! I’ll try to find out the problem.EDIT: I tried all I got, and nothing… Best I got is a crash… Maby I’ll rebuild the mission. Wish me luck!

Dont know if you got to notice the typo in the code here:
[NPC]
nickname = training_target
affiliation = fc_rn_grp
npc_ship_arch = MSN01a_training_target
individual_name = 1[MsnShip]
nickname = training_target
NPC = training_traget <–------------------
position = 30000, 700, -30000
orientation = 0, 0, 0, 0
random_name = false
radius = 0 -
Sorry to double post.
I’m not sure what you wanted from your mission, but ive done a quick example if your interested.
You might want to edit the ships and some id text but it might help in what your looking for.npcships.ini in the M01a folder:

you’re grossly overcomplicating this problem dvdman.
Download my wings of the federation mod and look at what I did to m01.ini . -
This thread goes to very wrong ways, and don’t even try to spoil my idea with all this rubbish of “look what i did, copy this”. I make this mod just as training for my mission creating skills. Thats why I don’t want to copy any code or look at any other code, just create. This is also the reason why I wanna re-code it.
-
honestly, trial and error is good, but only for unsolved problems. if there is something you can look at and understand, that is a far better and faster way to learn than if you just try out. if you are only willing to try, than there is no reason to ask questions. just do until your fingers bleed.
sry, if that was a bit grumpy, your last post was just crying for such an answer xDD

I’ll say it though - nice post / contribution khayman

Sorry DvDMan, people won’t build a tutorial for you so that you don’t violate your principles of never looking at someone else’s code.
If you don’t want the help, don’t bother asking.
