Title: Strange error when loading FRED mission
Post by: sporadisk on September 08, 2012, 06:46:39 am

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.

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

Awesome, that did the trick!

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