If im posting wrong info just shout an ill get bits needed

Thx for any ones input

Gisteron

maybe the server has a different ini than the client.

? Offline

addon=ge_s_tractor_00, internal, 1
```This one strange… "00" hmhmhm...

Tanjitsu

server and client are both run on same machine same files.

tractor_00 causes no problems usined in numerous other packages that work fine.

lol well spotted HeIIoween

i actually have 2 offending packages
both frieghters li_freighter and br_freighter

both use very similar setups and are both causing the problem

ive updated my initial post with the correct example of li_freighter

my initial post showed half li’s info with half br’s info Doh

StarTrader

Here are the problems I can see:

Yours:
LODranges=0, 99999, 99999, 99999, 99999, 99999, 99999

Should be
LODranges=0, 99999

Yours:
mission_property=can_use_berths
mission_property=can_use_med_moors
mission_property=can_use_large_moors

FL will use only the last entry I think.

If the ship is normal size it will go through normal sized dock bays so you can make it:
mission_property=can_use_berths

otherwise just make it:
mission_property=can_use_large_moors

Because med_moors are the ones NPC freighters dock at and they don’t normally allow you to dock, it’s only for the cinematic effects of freighters seeming to dock and still stay visible.

Are you sure the .mat file contains the textures used by the new model:
DA_archetype=ships\liberty\rhino2.cmp
material_library=ships\liberty\newfl_liberty.mat

These two you can remove if you want, they cause error messages in FLSpit/FLSpew if you didn’t get my fixed copies:
material_library=fx\envmapbasic.mat
envmap_material=envmapbasic

These two are integers, remove the decimal points and zeros:
mass=300
linear_drag=30

And this one too:
nudge_force=30000

I wouldn’t do this, you don’t need 4 shields:
shield_link=l_freighter_shield01, HpMount, HpShield01, HpShield02, HpEngine01, HpEngine02

If you do have HpShield02 hardpoint in your model?

Make it:
shield_link=l_freighter_shield01, HpMount, HpShield01, HpShield02

This shield below does not have a hardpoint associated with it:
hp_type=hp_fighter_shield_generator

In any case it’s not needed as you already have 2 shields, HpShield01, HpShield02, so remove it. This may be the one causing the problem.

Is this shield below a class 2,3 or 4 shield?:
addon=shield01_mark02_fr, HpShield01, 1

Its HpShield01 hardpoint can only support class 2,3 and 4:
hp_type=hp_freighter_shield_special_4, HpShield01
hp_type=hp_freighter_shield_special_3, HpShield01, HpShield02
hp_type=hp_freighter_shield_special_2, HpShield01, HpShield02

Good luck.

Tanjitsu

thx for your Reply StarTrader

i had a feeling the ship would get picked apart when i posted it lol
gota remember this is rebalance

Which means…

Ships not been cleaned up in years
over like 300 ship i dont have patience to do em all solo my self

shield_link=l_freighter_shield01, HpMount, HpShield01, HpShield02, HpEngine01, HpEngine02

im no ship expert but i thought shield_link=l_freighter_shield01
was defining what sources are linked to the shield drain

hp_type=hp_fighter_shield_special_1, HpEngine01, HpEngine02
these are no longer shields changed hardpoints
the hp_fighter_shield_special_1 is now only for power addons.

hp_type=hp_freighter_shield_special_4, HpShield01
hp_type=hp_freighter_shield_special_3, HpShield01, HpShield02
hp_type=hp_freighter_shield_special_2, HpShield01, HpShield02

hp_freighter_shield_special_2, HpShield01, HpShield02 these are the shields and yeah it has 2 shields and 2 power upgrades.

was unsure about hp_type=hp_fighter_shield_generator
figured it was needed as seemed to be on most ships

launched and kicked for cheating

StarTrader

This problem is because you now have a class 1 shield and your freighter will only take class 2, 3, or 4.

Easy fix for this I hope - change it to class 2…

addon=shield01_mark02_fr, HpShield01, 1

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.

lonestar

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]

[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.

rsabatino

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.
