[Package] nickname = ge_fighter strid_name = 11051 strid_desc = 11551 ship = li_fighter loadout = MP_ge_fighter money = 12500 [Faction] nickname = new_player rep_group = co_ic_grp base = Li01_01_Base Package = ge_fighter Pilot = trentThis is the relevant code from the newcharacter.ini. The [Faction] is calling for a package named ge_fighter. It is true that this is not defined in goods.ini. It is not defined in goods.ini because the ge_fighter [Package] its looking for is defined right above the [Faction] that is calling it. The [Package] makes all valid references. I do not see the problem.

Well, whatever the cause might be for the MP issues it’s the most beautiful mod I have seen so far.
I am definitely looking forward to the future of Itano Circus.
Why, do you have any future plans of adding player Battleships or other ideas you want to try?
I can’t say enough positive about this mod. The missiles man…THE MISSILES!!! Every time I fire off a salvo my inner child screams like a schoolgirl!
-
My only complaint. I keep running out of missiles.
Of course if I didn’t get so excited with the fire button this might not be a problem.
MUST…DOUBLE…MICRO MISSILE…PAYLOAD!
Did I say double? Sorry I meant triple. ;D
-
I think I would be one or both of two things if that was the case.
1. Broke :-[
2. Hostile to everything that moved. ;D
-
I think it has to match a package in the goods.ini file because somethings likt the ships hull that are in that file have no reference and therefore are nonexistant
the package in the goods .ini file also tells the game what power supply, engine, and other extras are on it
with no power supply or engine it can’t fly -
[Package]
nickname = ge_fighter
strid_name = 11051
strid_desc = 11551
ship = ge_fighter
loadout = MP_ge_fighter
money = 12500[Faction]
nickname = new_player
rep_group = co_ic_grp
base = Li01_01_Base
Package = ge_fighter
Pilot = trentThink your gettin confused for no reason here, so let me enlighten you
nickname = ge_fighter <–----------------- Is just a name, you could put mars bar there if you wanted, its not a ship
ship = ge_fighter <--------------------------- Look it up in shiparch, it’s the starflier, also defined in goods.ini
loadout = MP_ge_fighter <----------------- Ship loadout, third one down in loadouts.ini
money = 12500 <----------------------------- Start cash
Hope that helps
-
like I said in my last post it seems to need the goods.ini file to have a reference for it to add necessary equipment
even if it used the starflier, the ship wouldn’t go anywhere without an engine and a power supply -
Have you simply looked into the loadout? Everything’s defined there… Yes, even the engine, radar, tractor, whatever.
-
once I adjusted it the way I mentioned it started working and it didn’t work before
it seems to need that other stuff for MP mode and not SP mode -
you guys need this file its in the exe folder its mpnewcharater

Thanks rsabantino. I am sure if this is causing any trouble, but it wouldn’t hurt. My mod is actually loosely (understatement) based on 88 Flak as it is the most stable mod I have ever seen, and I remember being told by foxUnit01 that I had forgotten to add a mpnewcharacter.fl. However there is one conspicuous difference between what you just posted and what Fox uses in 88 Flak. 88 Flak does not have what appears to be a loadout section, and 88 Flak runs very stably online. I also know for a fact that I never had issues similar to what DM mentioned here. (http://www.memes.no/88flak/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1458). I still firmly believe that DM’s troubles are simply a FLMM deactivation error or some other similar issue. (Such as making sure to use completely separate Accts folder from 88 Flak. IC and 88 Flak bicker when they have they share Accts folders.)
I also just now used the version that I downloaded off of Starport, and was able to run and join my own server with no problem. All crashes are crashes that happen during gameplay, and thats where the real problem lies, not in the newcharacter.ini. (Although hopefully the mpnewcharacter.fl will help some.)

no the load out is from my mod it puts the player into the anubis. if you dont use that it will just give you the regular ge fighter

I have run it on a fresh install with the freelancer save folder deleted when I had that trouble
somebody told me that goofed up newcharacter.ini files will often do that exact error
I even reinstalled flmm and it didn’t change the error any
the strange thing is I’ve had some mods that did that before on my desktop computer and not when run on my notebook
yes, they were both running XP -
I think some of those mysterious crashes are hook related
I had it skip loading hook and the server ran crash free for a couple days now
can’t use Ioncross with it right now because, it doesn’t have the right codes for the weapons, items, ships, and other equipment, in the Ioncross folder
trying to run it without the right data is making my Ioncross freeze on startup
need to find the hashcodes and fix that later
if I can find the spare time I will try to do that part for you -
use cd lite much easier to use and more flexible. i cant tell you anything i have to see your exe folder and see whats in there to help you a little more. but in relality the new charater file has little to do with mp some people actually delete that file and put everything in mpnewcharater file like i showed you. if you have a multi player load out you can put that right into that file like i did with the anubis and it will work.

Hey Dark,
I’m still getting the ‘Character name already in use’ whenever I try and log into your server. I’m assuming this is due to a difference between the version of the mod I am running and the version you are running.
I’ve had no problems running IC using IONCROSS. I used FLMM 1.4 and the latest release of IONCROSS and the server seems to run ‘ok’. Of course I am connecting to the server locally and I do get the random crashes and the server seems to hickup during fights (momentary hesitation of the game that I don’t get when playing SP).
I’m beginning to think my ISP is blocking certain ports since I can’t seem to get a connection from outside even when I DMZ through my router but that is something else entirely.
If anyone needs another set of eyes to help test I’m all kind of available. I haven’t been this excited about a mod in years.
One thing I have noticed is that sometimes the NPCs will get stuck in an auto-manuver for docking loop at some of the stations causing a backup of NPCs that are waiting to dock and also blocking you from docking. I think this may be related to ship speed. I’ve had it happen to myself as well and had to ESC and reposition myself manually then dock again.
Oh and Happy New Year everyone!

So I was browsing ModDB and I found so many obscure mods I had never heard of. Which got me wondering. Why isn’t my mod here?
So now it is. http://www.moddb.com/mods/itano-circus/

Looks nice up there, Why. Gave her a little vote, too
