Ehrm whats that?^^

lolz… sry m8 shoulda said “custom” loadout… hehe

Ive changed almost every faction… I just somehow left a turret were there was none on the custom ship…

Lancers Error checker will give you a full complete listing of any (if at all) loadout problems… one might skip past this section thinking “it cant really harm FL”… but Alas!!.. yes it can… and more often than not… Its the whole cause of a CTD…
or 2… or 3… hehe

So id go through it with a fine tooth comb after a “check” with the EC… Rouges are known to have the same issue…
Also if using custom ships… that HpBayDoor (or lack therein of) can cause a CTD if enough NPC’s are using tractors (NPC tractor hack) and some don’t have this onboard.

ok just scanned my files for “ge_lbd_engine01” … hmm

I find no “ge_lbd_engine01”… but i do find a “ge_lbd_engine_01”

look for the same dealy in yours… if you have a ge_lbd_engine_01 and no ge_lbd_engine01 in your engine_equip.ini then weve solved it…

simply put the _ wherever ge_lbd_engine01 exists… either Goods.ini or your loadouts

umm… that was possiby “mybad”… maybe i should check myself … lol :-[    ;D

I suggest to take working engine from any ship and to make search it in contents of files in a folder Data, then to do the same with ge_lbd_engine_01.

Next - compare results and fix/add sections contains ge_lbd_engine_01 according working engine.

This thread is confusing. It sounded like it is the capship you are flying, but now you’re not flying it? You say you tried other systems, but then it sounds like you are saying you are jumping from these other systems into one system (the same one) where you crash.

If it were the ship you were flying causing the crash - you’d crash on launch 100% of the time. So it’s not that.

However, I think you’ve got two bugs here. You mention removing the engine, did you still see the yellow text afterwards? or are you now focusing upon the crash?

@Bejaymac:

Check the system your getting kicked in, see if you have any static capships (bases,wreck etc), as the usual cause of that error is having an engine in the solar loadout for those items.

Quoted for truth. This is what it actually sounds like to me.

Check your systems.ini files for those systems for a battleship station. Next, check the loadout line in the system file for the nickname of the loadout of the station. Now going on what you’ve said, go check loadouts_special.ini for that loadout nickname, which you mentioned earlier as being “the only place it’s mentioned”.
That file is for ships loadouts, hence has an engine - not for stations. If it does match the nickname, then your problem is your station has a ships loadout, and therefore has an engine. Hence why when you changed the nickname of the engine to “wtf_engine” you still saw the issue. Your station had that engine… That should be your yellow warning message (if it is right).

For the crashing I’d also check your encounters or other things, as that particular error about the engine never crashed servers in my experience. That is something else, and its unpredictable nature would point to encounters.

I know this will sound like I’m smoking crack….

But, I bet the not supportable yellow text in the flserver console will disappear if you dont have FLHook running (humor me… just try it).

IMHO its not the engine causing the crash. If it was equipment, you’d crash all the time. I bet you have an encounter issue.

Umm server and client on same machine or server and client on dif machines?

Willing to share your files with me so I can take a looksee?

PM sent, that is a safe place to upload to…

I cant check the orig files right now, but i read through the engine’s preferences in your second post, and the “mas = 0” i dont know if its right or not.
You said you have original files as in the vanilla, like the dreadnought, systems etc… If you make a new engine entry, and the server kick you out after respawn, then i think the server defines this new engine as cheating, because different and non-existed in the vanilla files.

@M.o.D.:

In second post it was a bit edited, but since a long time im using extra engines for my caps.
The others, like ge_lbd_engine_01 are completely vanilla.

Could you please post here the ge_lbd_engine_01 preferences from engine_equip.ini, that one you use in your mod?
Have you ever tried to set this ship as freighter class and add ge_lfr_engine_01, or ge_pfr_engine_01, etc…. to it?

*** WARNING: alloc_equip: Archetype[0x8000bec6] not supported/equippable!

What this basically means is that you’ve stuck a piece of equipment into the loadout of something that shouldn’t get it. Engines, Scanners, Powerplant and Tractor beams will all cause this error if added to the wrong object, Bases don’t get engines or tractor beams, Non-dockables don’t get engines and wrecks don’t get any of the 4.

@M.o.D.:

…
Where can i find the clientside error logs??

In C:\Documents and Settings<your user=“”>\Local Settings\Application Data\Freelancer
