[Solved] Weired ArchDB::Get failure?

NeXoSE

So here is the error on log:

E:\FL\Scratch\Source\Common\Archetype.cpp(60) : *** ERROR: ArchDB::Get(2495965762) failed

Story is: I’m working on a server-side mod, which allowing player to play without any client-side plugin / mod requirement.

But I got this error when I login to my modded server with a pure client (Only Freelancer and path 1.1 installed).

The weired thing is that when I use CRCTool (Hope you still remember it) scan the pure client’s Freelancer\Data for 2495965762, it says Not Found.

But in my mod, it point to or_osiris_neck_dmg_cap in shiparch.ini.

Then I searched the or_osiris_neck_dmg_cap in the pure client for making sure the object not in pure 1.0 client, BUT I found it, after unbini. It’s there, in the shiparch.ini.

But how the client still keep saying ArchDB::Get failed? and CRCTool says it’s not found?

Please help, Thanks!

FYI:

I’m not changing the model.
The or_osiris_neck_dmg_cap Simple is no change too.
Only thing related different maybe just osiris_front_lod1’s hit_pts

=============================

Solved: Turns out Freelancer just throwing random error log…

It’s a new scanner I added in my mod. Once I removed it, problem solved and this error is gone.

It’s possible your scanner has the same hash (I renamed a couple of things in JFLP to avoid that). But running CRCTool myself, 2495965762 is for ew_freighter_dmg_starboard_wing_cap; or_osiris_neck_dmg_cap generates 2470081347.

Yes, looks I used the wrong CRC in the post. Sorry, I must mispasted that.

But the problem is there.

The first error is or_osiris_neck_dmg_cap = 2470081347

For test, I removed the [Simple] or_osiris_neck_dmg_cap, but the game still crash and give me the 2495965762 one.

And then I go little further and delete the ew_freighter_dmg_starboard_wing_cap = 2495965762, and again, another error CRC shows up.

Finally, I removed all Simple in the Shiparch.ini, still crash and give me error CRC

Then I realize I didn’t get the root cause.

Once the new scanners removed, everything back to normal. Those CRC is strange though. Lucky those scanner is only for NPC

In case you want to investigate, nicknames of those scanner:
infinite_scanner
infinite_scanner_short.

For future reference…
If you wish your mod to be vanilla compliant, in other words, playable without a client side mod you cannot add to any of the arch files, nor can you add additional pieces of equipment.

If you do you will see all kinds of random anomalies.

In regards to the arch files, any changes you make must be minor. You can’t for example alter the unused li_fighter_KING shiparch to become a bretonian VHF. The client will still see it as a patriot fighter and there will be conflicts.

Ah yes! Thanks robocop, I missed that important bit of information. The server & client must agree on the order of objects, as the server sometimes only transmits the index (16 bits instead of 32; this is the reason for [c]LargeID.dat[/c] used by Packets).
