Server Kicks when package bought

Tanjitsu

God im such a noob think its time to put this to one side untill someone else takes up the mantle

Your very right ST except when i re wrote the shield system a year or two ago i moved all ones onto using hp’2 since slot 1 on all types of shield hp’s was taken else were to be used on diff equipment.

also was originaly a class 2 shield but changed to match working package too see if made a diff, so again although it looks wrong it isnt

the main problem is
Why does package one lfr_package
launch fine, no errors

but this package trader1_package
almost identical doesnt launch
kicks for cheating.

Could it really be the names ive assignd ?

thx again for you support ST
sorry for rebalance lookin all muddled

No thanks, you can keep it or better yet drop it back in MD’s lap and let him fix his own fuckup.

Now you see why I went the total rebuild route when I tryed to fix RB, MD’s butchered code just gives to many headaches to make it worth while to fix.

Trial and error - comment out every addon except the engine, power and scanner and see if you get kicked, if you don’t then slowly add the others back in until you do get kicked.

Tanjitsu

Your right Bejay,

havent done a ini coment out yet
but did try unequiping ingame items once package bought before launch. kicked with minimal equiped

Guessin its a power scanner engine problem.

Just still cant get over why one package launches and the other doesnt. Im gona try renaming the trader package as from what i can see the name is the only thing different in both sets.

I have had this problem when i was working on the A-10 mod, The place that you buy the package from MUST! and i de mean this, MUST have each piece of equipment for sale at that station. Or you will get a kick for cheating, item not wold at station. kick. There area few items i think the engines that are not included in this, but if i reamber right, the weapons, scanner, thrusters, and shields need to be on the market ini files for that station for it to work.

BUT this might be something else than what you are experancing. But You might want to look into this also.

Er, no. The equipment mounted on a ship simply has to be defined correctly. Utter nonsense that the equipment has to be for sale at the same station.

I have ships all over my new mod for testing with nothing being sold on the bases as of yet, strange how they all work properly.

Tanjitsu

Seems like a logical point which could well be the cause,
except,

[BaseGood]
base=fc01_02_Base
marketgood=liberty_package, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1

[BaseGood]
base=fc01_04_Base
marketgood=kusari_package, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1

[BaseGood]
base=fc01_07_Base
marketgood=trader1_package, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1
marketgood=trader2_package, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1

[BaseGood]
base=fc01_08_Base
marketgood=freelancer_package, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1

All these bases have no equipment defined.
they only have a single sales person selling ships.
They have no equipment defined in any of the market files.
All the ships launch perfectly fine apart from the 2x trader packages.

i tried to run rebalance also nice mod but. too many crashes too many

Gisteron

first mod i tried after rebalance. first mod i learned to change and how to mod at all… nice thingy but yes, buggy like hell and dreadfully unbalanced…

Bejaymac

@ Tanjitsu, A thought just struck me, what anti cheat are you running on the server and do you need/have the package listed in it.

Tanjitsu

thx for getting the topic back on track Bejaymac

no cheat stuff just standard freelancer server atm.

Bejaymac

MD included the 1.1 server patch with 3.50 full (probably had it in earlier versions aswell), and it will kick anything that isn’t part of vanilla Freelancer. You need IFSO, FLAC, FlHook etc to take control of the FLServer.exe to stop it kicking you.

Tanjitsu

Very True but…
when i took over i started by comparing RB to all the patches. i encompase them into RB, i merged in the 1.1 SDK + bits of the 1.4 patch and various other peoples fixes before starting to continue adding and fixing what already existed.

Did that to make sure u only needed Rebalance and not
Freelancer + 5 patches then rebalance

Thing i dont get is what u say is true
but the server has 0 problems with anyof the other 5 packages i created and added in, it just has a problem with the 2 freighter trader start packages.

My Pirate / freelancer packages all launch absolutly fine just on the standard 1.1 server.

Also in MP i do have Hook attached.

Tanjitsu

just ran the packages like

[Good]
nickname = trader_hull
category = shiphull
ship = li_freighter
price = 19420
ids_name = 12018
item_icon = Equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\li_freighter.3db

[Good]
nickname = trader_package
category = ship
hull = trader_hull
addon = ge_lfr_engine_01, internal, 1
addon = li_freighter_power01, internal, 1
addon = ge_s_scanner_01, internal, 1
;addon = ge_s_tractor_01, internal, 1
;addon = shield01_mark01_fr, HpShield01, 1
;addon = SlowSmallBlue, HpRunningLight01, 1
;addon = SlowSmallBlue, HpRunningLight02, 1
;addon = SlowSmallBlue, HpRunningLight03, 1
;addon = SlowSmallBlue, HpRunningLight04, 1
;addon = contrail01, HpContrail01, 1
;addon = contrail01, HpContrail02, 1
;addon = DockingLightRedSmall, HpDockLight01, 1
;addon = DockingLightRedSmall, HpDockLight02, 1
;addon = co_gun01_mark01, HpWeapon01, 1
;addon = co_gun01_mark01, HpWeapon02, 1

still kicked me for cheating

StarTrader

If I remember rightly, it should not have let you take off without the tractor!? Can’t remember.

What on earth is going on on your setup?

What happens if you make the standard Rhino available on the same base at the same time and buy that?

Gisteron

try to make it use different internal equipment, one by one until you have the piece you have to check further.

Tanjitsu

have done that in post above commented out untill all that was left was the minimum needed to launch.

Top idea ST.

to the same base as the previous trader packages,
launches fine lol

copied above an pasted into space of old trader package / hull
only adjusted name of package and hull, kicks me

somet wrong with name.
FL server actually gave up propper error message for it this time

Possible cheating detected (Ship or Equipment not sold on base) by admin (b08184eb-c34c1c43-c8f0673d-91a16689)!

but the rest of packages dont have any equipment sold at there bases and they launch fine, is name or ship.

i also tried changing the cost incase cost of total equip was higher than cost to buy package but it didnt make a difference

Gisteron

show us the section from your market_ships.ini
as after a name change it kicks you, the only remaining file that can be reason for it is this.

Tanjitsu

Hey Gisteron,

[BaseGood]
base = fc01_07_Base
marketgood = trader_package, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1
marketgood = traders_package, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1
marketgood = lfr_package, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1

thats the what it looks like atm,

lfr_ launches with out problem

both trader_ and traders_ kick for cheating.

this is the current trader package

[Good]
nickname = trader_hull
category = shiphull
ship = li_freighter
price = 151000
ids_name = 12002
item_icon = Equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\li_freighter.3db

[Good]
nickname = trader_package
category = ship
hull = trader_hull
addon = ge_lfr_engine_01, internal, 1

addon = ge_s_tractor_01, internal, 1
addon = shield01_mark01_fr, HpShield01, 1
addon = SlowSmallBlue, HpRunningLight01, 1

addon = contrail01, HpContrail02, 1
addon = DockingLightRedSmall, HpDockLight01, 1
addon = DockingLightRedSmall, HpDockLight02, 1

set out exactly same as above lfr_package
only thing i see different are the names

Gisteron

hm, looks good. should be just fine. try to change the minimum rep (2nd digit, float, range -1 to 1) or give it a decimal zero. maybe microsoft did something wrong again, obviously you have nothing done wrong.

I’ve been following this with interest. The obvious solution, at least to me, simply because i’ve cloned some of the original ships in my mod as well, i see the problem as the nickname entry in shiparch.

To me you’re using the same ship nickname which is why you are getting kicked. If you change it to say,

nickname = li_freighter2

for example, should work fine. The problem is the program is trying to access two ships called li_freighter which is where the issue is as i see it. It’s the reason you keep getting kicked.

To clarify the above, any ship you add to FL HAS TO HAVE a unique nickname, end of. I have around fifty variants of a freighter in my new mod with different colour schemes for the various factions i have, the reason they all work is each ship has a unique nickname. You simply cannot share nicknames.
