Re: United Terran Republic [RELEASE V0.1a] Fixed missing Textures
I will never understand why people still use photobucket.  Just use imgur.

 
Re: United Terran Republic [RELEASE V0.1a] Fixed missing Textures
Simple - Photobucket advertises more than Imgur.

Re: United Terran Republic [RELEASE V0.1a] Fixed missing Textures
Can't open model file <URDonnager01.pof>

That's an error in the table file, Republic-shp.tbm. You can either rename data/models/URDonnager.pof to data/models/URDonnager01.pof.
Or you can edit Republic-shp.tbm & change the name in the file to URDonnager.pof.

starbug should probably also fix one & update the download ;)

Yep, that worked. And now I feel silly for not making that connection.

Thanks for your help!

Also, starbug mate, thumbs up on the ship designs. They look cool.

 
Re: United Terran Republic [RELEASE V0.1a] Fixed missing Textures
I have discovered more problems.

While I can load the Donnager in FRED now, any mission I try to play that has it spawned in at the start crashes, and if it jumps in later the rotators don't spin and the game crashes if I get too close to it.

The game also crashes when I get close to the Heracles.

Unfortunately, it's not showing me an error message, and I don't know where to look for something like an error log.

The other's seem to work fine so far, besides the Excurser's missing turret models.

Re: United Terran Republic [RELEASE V0.1a] Fixed missing Textures
Hmmm.. that is really weird. I have had none of these issues when testing them. i have done multiple close ups on each ship to for screenshots and combat. Which version of FSOpen are you using?

To get the error log i think and someone please correct me on this, you need to use the debug.exe ie fs2_open_3_7_4-DEBUG in the launcher and that runs the game and does an error log. again i might be wrong on that.

Can any of the more veteran modders give any insight on this, as i have no idea what it could be causing it.

Re: United Terran Republic [RELEASE V0.1a] Fixed missing Textures
From the FRED2 log above, CapnQwerty might be using version 3.7.4 RC1, in which case updating to 3.7.4 final may fix the issues.

Upgrading to 3.7.4 final fixed the Heracles, and I can fly close to the Donnager without the game crashing, but it still has to jump in after the game starts since it continues to crash if it's already spawned when the mission begins. It's rotators still don't spin either, and none of its weapons will fire or even point at anything.

Re: United Terran Republic [RELEASE V0.1a] Fixed missing Textures
Looking at the modpack briefly:

The turrets need $special=subsystem under the subsystem properties to be recognised ingame as turrets.
The CrewHub subsystems aren't spinning because there's no velocity specified in the -shp table.
Not sure why it crashes ingame but it's missing Moment of Inertia which won't make the engine happy.

I kitbashed a couple of the Donnager subobjects into a pre-existing ship model and I noticed some strange engine behaviour as well. No crashes, but the ship would disappear if I looked directly at it. Can't remember how I fixed that particular error. The ship also spun wildly when shot, which I managed to fix by generating the MoI in PCS2 (copy pasting the MoI of a similar sized ship didn't work).

Address the above and see if that helps.

Haven't had those particular problems, but I'll keep it in mind if they pop up.

Presumably, that's not where I'm supposed to put it.

With the rotation, I'd guess the subsystem entries need a line that looks something like $velocity: x, but I don't know how to format it.

Also, I'm confused about why the Donnager would need any of this when none of the other 5 do. What does or doesn't it have that makes it different?

I don't get the donnager issue, The rotation of the crew hubs i setup in PCS, Here is a another copy of the pof file try this one, although its the same, i have used it alot today to test, it hasnt crashed on me. so give this a try and let me know if you still have issues

That worked. The sections spin, the guns work, and the game doesn't crash.

For some reason.

...hell, whatever, I'm not complaining (much). Thanks for the help you two.

Re: United Terran Republic [RELEASE V0.1a] Fixed missing Textures
Hello. I've been using this as part of my fleetpack part of at least one project I'm working on, and I've encountered errors.

Most of the fleetpack, save for the Excursor corvette, have null moments of inertia.

The Donnager science cruiser, the Tempest frigate and the Heracles frigate have mismatched subsystems, including those included in all models that are not listed in ships.tbl, something that causes the game to crash, as well as some not linking into ship, such as invalid subobj_num or model_num in subsystem 'radar02' on the Heracles frigate.

The Olympia and Minnow destroyers, as well as the Tempest frigate, have a single slot in all dock points, short of exactly 2 slots per dock point.

As for the overall improvements, I would like to see PBR maps.

Thank you for the feedback Bryan. How would go about fixing these errors? Ie the null moments of inertia, what is that?
