Thinking Caps on for the summer

Okay scratch that, I’ve managed to create the errors and it looks like it could be bodies after all

E:\FL\Scratch\Source\Server\gf\pubGF.cpp(120) : *** ERROR: Cannot find bodypart li_captain_head

However every one that I got has the body nickname at the end, any chance you have bodies without nicknames in the INIs

just narrowed it down to that myself, it means you have 20 missing heads or bodies in that file.

space_costume = li_captain_head, , comm_ge_generic2

something like that points at the two commas “, ,”

@Tunicle:

4 entries with the same 5 lines are the problem

space_costume = , robot_body_a
space_costume = , robot_body_b
space_costume = , robot_body_c
space_costume = , robot_body_d
space_costume = , robot_body_e

Hmm, old issue. Try putting a 0 or something infront? Someone solved it, and I note some of my old docks have a 0 infront of them instead of being blank?

space_costume = 0, robot_body_e

No idea, it’s been some years since I looked at the files.

wrong way around Chips, FLE added that 0 to the docking characters and FL keeps spitting out errors because of it, it should read “space_costume = , robot_body_?” as that’s how they are in vanilla. Unfortunately this is the faction_prop.ini and robots just do not belong in it, I’ve tried all manner of combinations with the same result ERROR: Cannot find bodypart .

Just thought I’d pitch in here - I managed to get robot bodies in space working using the following:

space_costume = robot_body_a, robot_body_a
space_costume = robot_body_b, robot_body_b
space_costume = robot_body_c, robot_body_c
space_costume = robot_body_d, robot_body_d
space_costume = robot_body_e, robot_body_e
```This required me to copy the [Body] entries of the robots in bodyparts.ini to [Head] entries, for example:

[Body]
nickname = robot_body_A
mesh = characters\bodies\robot_body_A.dfm

[Head]
nickname = robot_body_A
mesh = characters\bodies\robot_body_A.dfm

Huh, base_appr still gives the costume to in-space NPCs, huh? Neato, I’ll have to try it out. What’d you have, “base_appr = , robot_body_a” ?

Easy way to see if it’s worked or not, fly upto a npc ship using that body and try to talk to them. The body is only for the little com window you get when an npc talks to you, if it’s worked you should see a robot body and hear a male/female voice (no robot voice for pilots).
