**Without knowing what system you are crashing in, how the crash is happening, if in a system then your system script to look at, it’s going to be impossible to even have a clue as to what’s causing your crash….

Please post how the crash is happening and where…**

@ Dragnite_MU, is it just the server that’s crashing or does the client also crash ?

Dragnite_MU

Its the server that crashes. After many hours ive narrowed it down to an encounter zone, the zone however has 8 encounters in it.

The one i believe is causing the crash is this one

Capitalships_nomads

[EncounterFormation]
ship_by_class = 1, 1, sc_battleships
pilot_job = assault_leader_job
make_class = wanderer
ship_by_class = 6, 6, sc_gunboats
pilot_job = assault_job
make_class = wanderer 
formation_by_class = cruisers
behavior = wander 
arrival = cruise
allow_simultaneous_creation = no
zone_creation_distance = 0
times_to_create = infinite

[Creation]
permutation = 0, 3

As you can see there is supposed to be 6 gunboats appear with the battleship, however the BS appears but the gunboats do not. We have no idea why as this has always worked before and nothing has been changed about it.

Also here is the zone i believe is causing the trouble

[Zone]

While im at it another thing that it would be good for FLEC to check is bodypart errors.

Dragonite, there might be an issue with the formation_by_class entry. If the formation is messed up, a server crash will result shortly after (sometimes).

Dragnite_MU

Thanks for the suggestion Fox ill have a look into that, the crash occurs between 2mins and 1hr 5 mins, so its taking a while to test them all.

Dragnite_MU

Found the crash issue its to do with this encounter

Nomad_cap_raid.ini

[EncounterFormation]
ship_by_class = 1, 1, bombers
pilot_job = cap_raider_job
make_class = wanderer
ship_by_class = 2, 2, sc_fighters 
pilot_job = defend_leader_job
make_class = wanderer
formation_by_class = fighters
behavior = wander
arrival = all
allow_simultaneous_creation = no
zone_creation_distance = 0
times_to_create = infinite

[Creation]
permutation = 0, 3

Dont know whats up with it but at least i found it.

ps. sorry for well hijacking your thread LS

pps if an Admin can seperate the posts related to this crash issue it would be much appreciated

Splittified as per Dragnite’s request (Ya, I just invented that word)

How is your code setup in shipclasses.ini?

ship_by_class = 1, 1, bombers

```?

[ShipClass]
nickname = BOMBERS
member = bomber
