Needs testing….

LancerSolurus

BTW, I would test the FL Hook stuff if somebody wants to create a list specifying all of the commands in all of the different versions currently in use….

LancerSolurus

So Im assuming that no other problems have been found?

StarTrader

Sorry Lancer, the thread had dropped off the skyline…

Same error, I guess I need to load the big update?

LancerSolurus

Actually it should only require the installation of the DLL pack from my site. This version was recompiled on a comp that I wiped all of the ms updates off of because of the need to avoid the full dll download from ms.

StarTrader

Yep, ran it and it loaded Net Framework 2.0 first then completed, and FLEC 13 runs fine.

Thanks guv’n’r !

Lancer,

FLEC v13 gives me some errors in ordering of the market ini files that I can’t understand.

e.g. in my error output:-
516 Out of order ’ ge_s_cm_01 '-> F:\Games\Freelancer\DATA\EQUIPMENT\misc_equip.ini : 546 - 558 : ge_s_cm_01 - ge_s_tractor_03

The first line number is OK because it points to the line ge_s_cm01, but what are the two other numbers 546 - 558 : and ge_s_cm01 - ge_s_tractor_03

The two numbers don’t point to either name, ge_s_tractor_03 is on line 469 - can you please clarify the meaning of the message line and what I need to do to fix the files?

I attach the files involved.

Thanks

**The checker compiles a list of all of your goods, the numbers are the goods entry in that list…

516 Out of order ’ ge_s_cm_01 '-> F:\Games\Freelancer\DATA\EQUIPMENT\misc_equip.ini : 546 - 558 : ge_s_cm_01 - ge_s_tractor_03

516 - line number
ge_s_cm_01 - name of equipment
546 - current location in the list of goods (ge_s_cm_01 is stored in the array at position 546)
558 - last position in array of equipment checked before this entry
ge_s_tractor_03 - last good checked before this one ( 558 ), ge_s_cm_01 needs to be put in the goods file after ge_s_tractor_03 or vis-a-versa

You will find a few vanilla items out of order as you listed above…**

StarTrader

OK, thank you.

? Offline

I also find this section confusing, even after talking to you LS lol. Rest of FLEC 013 works fine for me

StarTrader

Sorry, still confused…

My ge_s_cm_xx entries are before the tractors in the misc_goods.ini file, but after the tractors in the misc_equip.ini file, is this the problem?:

Question: In which file should I move ge_s_cm_01 before the ge_s_tractor_03 or vice-versa in this instance?

And for my info, which file(s) is the list being generated from? (and in which order)?

LancerSolurus

**Yep, thats the problem exactly. Doesn’t matter which one gets moved.

The data is being read from every INI file in EQUIPMENT, goods are collected then the equipment entries are scanned.**

StarTrader

Lancer, how important is this check? Will items being out of order cause crashes?

Because I have another error that I can’t correct:
446 Out of order ’ escape_pod '-> F:\Games\Freelancer\DATA\EQUIPMENT\select_equip.ini : 1 - 573 : escape_pod - armor_upgrade_5

The scape_pod is in goods.ini, but the armor_upgrade_5 is in misc_goods.ini and will always be read after goods.ini - so I can’t place the escape_pod after the armour upgrades or vice-versa.

StarTrader

bumpity-bump!

LancerSolurus

It most likely won’t cause a problem. If you want to fix the order they are read into the program, copy them out then copy it back over the files (the equipment ini files). Windows sorts the directories so that may help. I will see about adding a sort routine to load the files in alphabetical order when parsing the goods.
