Base that kill a game

Testing the vanilla (JFLP) version in SP seems to work fine. I changed the power & refire_rate of the weapons and added the hp_type and hp_mount_group (what’s that?) and it still worked. Nothing in the spew?

hp_type and hp_mount_group are references FLAC uses to classify weapons to a root. For example, using that feature FLAC prevents battleship guns from being mounted on bases, or base guns being mounted on fighters, etc.

Everything looks vanilla with minor settings changes to hit points and damage.

That leaves the FLAC adjustments…

Are you sure you have those set properly?

For example, the guns are set to BR_BATTLESHIP_EQUIPMENT, but the base is not.

I don’t recall without going back to the FLAC site if those settings are for player ships or everything.

Try rem’ing out the flac lines in the guns and see if they work then.

Yes the original codes are from mod run on FLAC which I left to stay if any further development of it need to run again. The problem is now solved commenting those lines from GUN section.
Also that type of ship is flyable in a mod.
Still I’m confused why the other station - Battleship Hood didn’t made problems?

Its a same loadout with dif. name? :roll:
Anyway - the defence is back without further crashes.

Thanks all!

Essex doesn’t have a base line, but Hood does. I assumed you just missed copying it, but perhaps not?

cheeseontoast

Battleship Essex? If your client side files for it differ from the server youll get a CTD. Check that both are the same?

Sadly, the mystery is still present.
The missing Base line is by default and same custom made base that has that line also crashes FL.
Running FL with server side modification also crashes.

Scenario is that it happens in random times, but usually after 1-2 npc respawns that are hostile for him.

Also on server side I have this modification:

 <data file="data\equipment\weapon_equip.ini" method="sectionreplace">[Explosion]
nickname = br_battleship_flak_turret01_explosion

 <dest>hull_damage = 102</dest> 
<source>
hull_damage = 3020</data> 

 <data file="data\equipment\weapon_equip.ini" method="sectionreplace">[Gun]
nickname = br_battleship_flak_turret01

 <dest>refire_delay = 0.500000</dest> 
<source>
refire_delay = 0.250000</data> 
```Investigation continues.
No rush.

Honestly, unsure - you mean the weapons are removed and it’s still crashing? The weapons are back and it’s crashing? You’ve removed any NPC’s from the area and it is still crashing - or if you remove them and it doesn’t, does it crash when you shoot the base til it turns hostile and shoots on you (if weapons are there).

There isn’t much to go on… the mod, the changes, what’s running, what you’ve tried in order to rule it out.

robocop

I’ve had issues in the past that were caused by too many activation/deactivations of development mods. The solution was to uninstall FL, reinstall it, and resume work then.

As Chips has told me in the past, get it working properly (vanilla), and then implement your mod edits one (or a few) at a time until the crash resumes. The last one is your culprit (usually).

adoxa

Don’t forget to check the spew (Documents and Settings_User_\Local Settings\Application Data\FLSpew.txt) and server log (C:\fl-server-errors.log). You could use Flunhash (which also needs CreateID, both on my site) to automatically translate hash codes to nicknames. (You should use the command line to run createid -s to create the database, but you should then be able to just drop the spew on flunhash and open the resulting FLSpew.txt.txt.)

Funny thing is that mostly when base starts to shoot in player direction the crash happens.

```For MP3 fix, I saw on your site a codec.
I think I not screwed mod with coding, cose it has run for more than 6 years without this issue.
In any case I attached FLSpew that was clear before login a char that sits near base and after 3-4 patrols killed by base, one shoot was towards me and a CTD finish.

Finally for **fl-server-errors.log** only one that shows, now I can know what is the answer for my [question](http://the-starport.net/freelancer/forum/viewtopic.php?post_id=34755#forumpost34755) !

Those are “standard” errors for battleship bases.

E:\FL\Scratch\Source\Client\Space\HUD_Comm.cpp(792) : *** WARNING: invalid MSG id (2872373696) for voice profile (atc_leg_f01)

And that is a standard error for a custom base (gcs_refer_base__BASE_- in DATA\AUDIO\voices*.ini).
