I haven't followed the entire thread, but maybe I can be of some help to you ? You sure that the missing dockpath isn't causing the problem ?
We could try to run the model through truespace, but I will need a textured 3ds-version to do so. Also I can take a look at your table/pof-data if you wish

A missing dockpath was the first thing I suggested, and he already is running it through truespace.  Posting the POF itself may be useful at this stage, because I think we've pretty much ruled out geometry issues,

Well I can say it isn't my weapons nor sound table thats causing the problem, I removed them and set the vampires weapons to kaysers only.  FS2 debug doesn't report any error dialog windows.  Actually playing the game with debug is kinda difficult, especially in window mode, 5fps is a bit difficult to play.

Heres what was included during the last crash:

Can't download it (maybe I'm to stupid to work with that download side). Could you please use our FTP, that makes things much more easier

The error, if it's in tables, would be in ships.  Things should be robust enough to not crash though.  As for the line I was hoping to get out of a debug build, it would have been the last line in that second window that pops up when you run debug at the time of the crash (the only way to see it is with -window, unfortunately) as that would at least maybe tell us where the game was dying.

I can't download the file either, so I presume that site has some nasty bandwidth constraints.  Could you e-mail me the pof+textures if you can't find a more accessable upload space?

A little bit of good news I hope. I renamed and disabled the media vps and two of the missions I've played so far haven't crashed. Hopefully it's either the way I was using the vp's or the vp's themselves.  I'll need to do further investigations, turning each vp on/off to see if they are causing it or not.

*Crosses fingers hoping this was the cause.*


Edit: So far the last seven missions went off without a hitch  I was using some of the media vp's thruster images for weapons effects, dunno if that was the cause or not...

I had this problem in MT.  I am trying to remember it...

If I remember correctly, which i may not, it seems that the problem occurred when an AI was targetting a subsystem on a Modded fighter, and the pof data didn't coincide with the table data.  essentially, you had an ai trying to target a subsystem that didn't exist, i can't remember why it didn't exist though.  It was in the pof, and the table, maybe someone more well versed and with a better memory can take it from there.
