FreeSpace Open crashes when I try to run a particular mission.
http://pastebin.ca/1494992
May I direct your attention to line 310 of that paste:
310. ASSERTION: "Player_start_shipnum != -1" at MissionParse.cpp:5989
Well, I opened up the mission in Notepad, there's only one player ship.
I'm pretty ****ing confused here.
Mission file: http://pastebin.ca/1495030

1. You did not change the player ship, did you?
2. So you can see both these entires in nodepad?

I did not change the player ship.
Yes, both of those entries are in my mission file.

You know, it's kind of hard to debug a mission if you don't post the mission file itself...

There's the mission. I also posted a link in the main post.

Where did you get the Ezechiel from? - There are some bugged versions around...
-
FSMods, and I've already verified through debug builds that it is NOT in fact bugged up.

Something is badly wrong with Alpha wing. They aren't being set up correctly for some reason I can't immediately see. Unfortunately I don't have the time at the moment to figure out why.
EDIT : And about 10 seconds after posting that I figured out why.
$Special Ship: 0 ;! Alpha 1
$Arrival Location: Hyperspace
+Arrival delay: 2
If you set the arrival delay for alpha wing to 2 they won't be present at the start of the mission. No wonder FS2 is complaining the player ship is missing! Change that back to 0.

For the love of Vectorns emerald toenails please upload the .FS2 file in your next reply (under additional settings).........
It'll enable quicker responses from people like me...

The mission is in the pastebin. It's pretty easy to cut and paste it out.
But I'm pretty certain I've nailed the cause of the problem anyway. :)

When I pasted it, it came with all the line numbers / headers. . Too much hassle :p

Don't paste from the view box, paste from the edit box. :D
