Strange error when loading FRED mission
When I load a mission created in the FRED editor that came with Diaspora, the game halts and this error message pops up.
When I press OK to break into debugger, the mission works without issue, but I'd really like to be able to start a custom mission without using debug mode.

Can't open model file <>
ntdll.dll! NtWaitForSingleObject + 21 bytes
kernel32.dll! WaitForSingleObject + 18 bytes
fs2_open_Diaspora_R1.exe! <no symbol>
fs2_open_Diaspora_R1.exe! <no symbol>

Thus far, I've tried the following:
  • Removing all ships other than Alpha 1
  • Switching save format to FS2 Open (Compatibility)
  • Saving the mission as a multiplayer coop mission
  • Saving the mission as a singleplayer mission
  • Creating new missions to see if there might be something about that specific mission file
  • Reading through all avaliable faq's and known issues-threads

I'll attach the error message and one of the missions that produce the error for me.
Using Vista x64.

Pls halp, I'd really like to get started on making coop campaigns.

People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

666maslo666: Releasing a finished product is not a good thing! It is a modern fad.

SpardaSon21: it seems like you exist in a permanent state of half-joking misanthropy

Axem: when you put it like that, i sound like an insane person

Darius: ah!
Darius: yes, i like that
MatthTheGeek: the way you just spelled it it means fat
Awaesaar: +accent I forgot how to keyboard
MatthTheGeek: or grease
Darius: the killing fat!
Axem: jabba does the coup de gras
MatthTheGeek: XD
Axem: bring me solo and a cookie

Re: Strange error when loading FRED mission
Open up the mission using notepad. Scroll down until you find these lines

Code: [Select]
"HD-70 Lightning Javelin#Weak" 500
"TM-7 Pyro Javelin#Weak" 500
"GBU-102 Tercio#Weak" 500
"SRM-AF 2.6 Pilum#Weak" 500
"LRT-AP 2.2 Shipwreck#Weak" 500
"MRT-HE 1.0 Scythe#Weak" 500
"MRT-N 2.3 Mangonel#Weak" 500

Delete them.


To stop the error reappearing, make sure to turn those weapons off in the Player Loadout editor before saving. This bug will be fixed in the patch we'll release later this weekend.

I look forwards to seeing your finished missions. :)

EDIT : oh you edited and attached the missions? Here you go, fixed it for you. :D

No problem, the best thank you is another mission (or better yet, another competent FREDder down the line).
