Title: Support Request Denied 'cause model-failure
Post by: 0rph3u5 on February 21, 2009, 05:13:43 am: I encountered a problem with the GVF Heset (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/GVF_Heset) (here Mu 1) - for some reason the game keeps on crashing when I use that fighter and call a support ship

this message pops up:

Code: [Select]

the model has a rearm dock with two docking points and a path with 3 vertexes...
what the hell is wrong with it?

Post by: Jadehawk on February 21, 2009, 09:41:18 am: I checked this and believe there were some errors in the path. I redid the paths on my example and here is the file. Note, I did not check this change yet, but I believe this will work.

Let me know. :)

Title: Re: Support Request Denied 'cause model-failure
Post by: Jadehawk on February 21, 2009, 09:12:29 pm: OK! I deleted the paths for this model and made a new one. I still get the same error message regardless. So I fired up the debugger and after a lengthly going through the errors, I was able to play a simple mission against one Shivan. I fired two missiles and destroying it. I then called in for a reload and as soon as the support ship showed up and started to head for Alpha 1. the game went POOF.

The debug spew is way past the 5000 maximum word limit so tell me what should be posted?
I dunno what's causing this as I have made paths for other .pof models and this one was done the same way. I cant mess with this much more as I'm quite busy with other stuff now. But if it's a simple fix, then I just may help. Hope this helps in some way. :yes:

Should this be moved to the open support forum?

...Errors that I believe have nothing to do with the model that is having trouble.

Most are associated with testing TotT stuff which is a WEP. So it's gonna have some issues. I even played this on a clean version (But no debug version) and still get the same error.

nothing more than the bug message above (well nothing related to that model - apart from "has null moment of interia"¹)

ps. I back to my version...

¹ - fixed

Post by: Vasudan Admiral on February 22, 2009, 05:49:38 am: The only thing that looks remotely wrong to me is that there are 3 path verts rather than the standard 4, and the second dockpoint is way too close to the first - typically the gap is larger (about 1.0).

Neither of these issues should kill it like that though. All the path data and links between path and dock are in place. :\

Are you certain this is the model being used? There's not a separate faulty one floating around somewhere else or something?

But it is that path which killed it

~~I just added a 4th vertex and~~ used PCS2 feature "Auto-Generate Path" on it - it is working now (apart from the fact that there 6 paths all over the place now; but I can fix that)

Post by: Jadehawk on February 22, 2009, 08:26:18 am: I knew I should have used that Auto-generate thingy! I selected it once, but it gave me a warning message saying it was not good at calculating the path. Well now that you did ands it works OK, I'll give it a spin myself. :)

Glas this can get resolved. :)
