It is a safety check that makes sure code wont divide by zero. That is afterburner - if defined - must have an amount of fuel defined for it as well. In other words +Aburn Fuel: must be defined.

That's probably a good case for using an Assertion rather than an Assert then. I'll update that now.

EDIT : Actually it should be a Warning not an Assert since there is no check that the value wasn't zero.

[TrashMan]

This bugs me...I still have 16 warnings to fix, but this is the first one that pops up and FS2 debug closes after that. Until I deal with this, I can't fix other errors.

Also, reverse AB doesn't seem to work: Z + TAB and I get the afterburner sound, the ship shakes, but I ain't moving at all.

[Wanderer]

Trashman, make (or clear) empty 'debug_filter.cfg' file into the main data directory and run debug. Then upload the log somewhere and post a link here.

[karajorma]

Try this debug build. It should tell you which ship is the problem.

[TrashMan]

Thanx..I'll have to wait till Friday till I try it out tough...

[TrashMan]

Here's hte FS2 log (with this latest build).

I get some really strange errors. This one again:

Code: [Select]

And a inverted bounding box error for EVERY submodel that makes hte Phoenix...PCS screwed something up?

It never got to the Afterburner error, but it might be because I removed the Phoenix table entry. I'm positive it's the culprit, because I got it before I removed it.

Without a call stack, it's hard to tell where this error originated, but I assume that there is an int list in your tbl somewhere (An int list is a list of ints, taking the form ( 1 2 3 ) for example) that has one or more arguments too many, or that does not have a closing bracket.

Where did you get this?

[TrashMan]

Kajorama, 3 posts up.

I'm trying to find where that error could possibly be, but so far nothing..

[TrashMan]

Am not getting that error anymore..

BUT..I am not getting any ships either. It's like the whole ships table is ignored.
The techroom is empty.
In FRED, only waypoitns and the AtenMk2 (added with a tbm) appear.


All I did was to remove the Phoenix from the tables, and fiddle with the Armageddon, LB and Claymore entris...and nothing strikes me as wrong:

The count < max_ints is annoying as it doesn't show which data or even which table it was processing. However.. looking at his fs_open2.log it seems like the error is coming from the 'obt' tbm or in something else after it...

To detect which one i specifically asked him to run with emptied 'debug_filter.cfg' file which he has not done.

[TrashMan]

Where can I find that file? It's not in the FS directory, nor hte the FS2/Data

[The E]

You need to create one. Just make an empty text file in your fs2\data folder, and rename it to debug_filter.cfg.

[TrashMan]

Here's the log with the debug_filter file

[attachment deleted by admin]

[The E]

Thank you. Now. Can you make it crash again and post THAT log? Because AFAICT, everything went right in that runthrough...

[TrashMan]

It went right? Must be because I removed the Phoenix entry. So it WAS the culprit.

But if everything is OK in that runtrough, why don't I have any ships in the techroom or FRED? Why can't I select the campaign?

I added the Phoenix in, but it didn't crash (could be because I removed the $Rear Velocity entry). Still nothing showing up in the TR or FRED.


EDIT:
I found what was wrong. The very beginning of hte ship.tbl got messedup. Dunno how. the cursor must have jumped while I was typing, because hte first line was

so#Default Player Ship

How that "so" got there, I have no idea.

Anyway, now that it goes trough the table again, I run it trough a debug with a clean log and got some mroe errors....the ints one was there.

Attached the log.

Please learn how to interpret a log. Look for the GTSG Hydra entry. Check if the data supplied for the turret01 subsystem is actually valid.

[Zacam]

Also, reverse AB doesn't seem to work: Z + TAB and I get the afterburner sound, the ship shakes, but I ain't moving at all.

As mentioned elsewhere, I forget to state that "$Rear Velocity:" is required. I just now updated the wiki to reflect that in both '$Rear Velocity:' and in '+Aburn_Max_Reverse_Vel:'.

Code: [Select]

#Ship Classes

$Name: GTF Ulysses
+nocreate
$Afterburner: YES
+Aburn Max Reverse Vel: 40.0
+Aburn Rev accel: 2.0
#End

That wont work. This will:

Code: [Select]

#Ship Classes

Thank you..

I found it:

   $Default PBanks:        ( "Vulcan" "Vulcan" "FighterKiller" "FighterKiller" )
$Subsystem:                     Turret02, 20, 1.0
   $Default PBanks:        ( "Vulcan" "Vulcan" "FighterKiller" "FighterKiller" )


Thjis entry was the problem.


B.t.w. - how do Thruster Indexes work? I get a index warning when adding maneuvreing thrusters.

[Wanderer]

Which warning exactly?

[TrashMan]

My entry for reverse thrusters:

Code: [Select]

$Thruster:
+Index: 1
+Used For: ("Reverse")
+Position: (0.8 -0.22 10.9)
+Normal: (0 0 1)

$Thruster:
