It seems legit

Don’t know what else is wrong… hmmm… Skotty. what do you think?

[Skotty]

The problem is your engine_equip:

HP_child = HPConnect
DA_archetype = equipment\models\hardware\ge_engine_reheater.3db

ge_engine_reheater.3db has no HPConnect -> nothing can be attached -> the game uses no model -> your error of no model used.

Hi Skotty. I changed it to other cmp and I even commented or removed the lines DA_archetype, material_library & HP_child, just to test it but the errors still persist.

[Skotty]

No!
*** ERROR: ArchDB::Get(0) failed
Means, it can’t find any model (0 = empty). But the game must have a model there! So you must have DA_archetype and HP_Child there.
For the model you use, HP_Child must be Hp_Mount, since thats the only hardpoint that model has.

I just followed what you just said. The file have DA_archetype, material_library, & HP_child parameters. I changed ( HP_child = HpConnect ) to ( HP_child = HpMount ) and the errors still persist.

By the way, the error is causing a spam in my FLSpew.txt (i.e.) it makes a lot of ( *** ERROR: ArchDB::Get(0) failed ).

[Jeider]

You will be searh error infinitely.

Better delete this engine, copy works engine and again gradually add new options to new engine.

[Skotty]

Ever tried to put in the model I used in my example?
HP_child = HPConnect
DA_archetype = equipment\models\st\no_thruster.3db

Deleting the engine, Jeider, is no solution. You have to find out what the mistake is, or you will never learn it.

[selene]

I tried it and it is still the same.

I copied & replaced it to:
HP_child = HPConnect
DA_archetype = equipment\models\st\no_thruster.3db

without material_library

Can someone please CHECK if your engclass.dll is also causing the error. ( *** ERROR: ArchDB::Get(0) failed )

1. First, I open the game then I alt+tab to check my FLspew if there are any errors and there is none.

2. I go back to the game to dismount either “engine” or “powerplant” from the inventory and then again I alt+tab to check FLSpew and the error occurs.

WE did everything to make it disappear but still no solution.
