Nx, cut the crap out. That kind of negativity is neither warranted nor acceptable. If you have nothing useful to say, then say nothing.

I had no idea this file existed, adding the new entries to this fixed the issue. Thanks for your help!

At the Disco this hack is applied:

content.dll 04EE3A A22A->A26A = OpenSP tweak for 1.1 DLLs to always start from m13 ```So change your mission to Mission = Mission_13 and move your scripts into m13.ini

This happens sometimes when you have Solars marked as dockable and no base is defined.

It all looks great. It’s just too bad that this game hasn’t had a Redux for it as so many other older games have had these days.

Look up the 6 digit numbers in FL Dev for mission details targets etc

I tried this, still no destroy solar missions.

I think there’s some confusion here. The factions that won’t offer missions are Vanilla ones, eg. li_n_grp (Liberty Navy), co_me_grp (DSE), fc_ou_grp (Outcasts), fc_m_grp (Mollies) etc. that already have these entries.

Well, this is going to sound stupid, but, if you can’t outright fix this completely, you could work with it. Just state it as an “Emergency Power To Shields” subsystem that these ships have. It’s not perfect, hell, it’s probably not even a good idea, but if that’s what you have to work with, you may just have to use it to your advantage instead of a disadvantage. I know this doesn’t help your issue at all, sadly. Hope your mod comes along.

I should have edited my last post but forgot to. I began testing custom ships in other mods and discovered that this is a problem that affects custom player ships when being shot by NPCs, leading me to believe that this is about as close to perfection as I can get.

In PVP, however, the shields drop normally. I’ve found that re-exporting hitboxes with the latest OBJ to SUR exporter fixes the problem a little, but I’ve never really noticed the problem while playing other mods in multiplayer.

Most custom models don’t have multiple LOD’s in the mesh, usually just one.

Thanks for your help! I tried changing the starsphere and replacing the cockpit.ini, although it didn’t work. Then I remembered Cameras.ini and replacing it with a clean copy fixed the turret view.

I’m still confused about the dynamic asteroids. They -do- have a texture defined but FLSpew keeps spamming a “no material found for asteroids in field” error.

Thanks nice work! Like it!

Argh, I just realised my mistake. >_< FLHook.ini was looking for files in
exe\flhook_plugins\restart
when it should have been
exe\flhook_plugins\restart\

Thanks for your help, restarts are working fine now.

did anything come of this, id be really interested in the use of an ECM based system for my mod.

This is just a random thought, but when I was playing around I edited some of the txm’s in data/fx, which caused funky things to happen.

Have you made changes to any of those?

Some of them have been changed, but that was several weeks ago and I never saw this blueshifting happen on other weapons in that time. The two effects I added were showing up in their normal colours and then randomly turned blue, but no FX txms were changed in that time. It seems to be happening to these two effects only and nowhere else.

i dont know hexplorer but the offset is valid.
0x840B3 = 540851 as decimal there is 0x0F84 as should be.

maybe read this:
http://www.memes.no/88flak/downloads/beta/1.1_Offsets_Tutorial.htm

Yeah, the ArchDB messages would probably be the pertinent ones. And MP3 Codec Fix should take care of the codec messages.

Sorry, the ship.
It was using the bret playerships .mat before, names were correct to reference it, but, eh. 😕

I still can’t get the ConVex tool to work, which is a problem because I need it to make a good hitbox quickly, but at least it actually tells me that Milkshape has stopped working now. The SUR and CMP exporters seem to work, on the other hand. Seems to be a plugin conflict that’s causing all these bugs and crashes.

I suggest to use 1.8.x versions, the 1.7.x versions were very unstable, i had same problems with them.
The 1.8.2, 1.8.4, 1.8.5 are much better, and reliable.

You might also take an interest in doing ids_names and ids_infos with FLMM’s XML-generates scripts. You can use that for almost everything, except faction names and names of asteroid fields and nebula’s (if there are random mission vignettes in them)

This saves you the pain of keeping track of what number corresponds to what string.
