I'm currently in the process of debugging Uncharted Territory for use with the new mediaVPs (and in general, since I didn't think about using debug build for my first release).

I get the following reports on the Hestia carrier I'm using:

Code: [Select]

This goes for engine 1-6:

Not linking into ship!

(This warning means that a subsystem was present in the table entry and not present in the model
it should probably be removed from the table or added to the model.)

I expect this is a problem for all dock points:

Code: [Select]

Ship class GTtca Hestia has only 3 points on dock path "Ldockpath".  Recommended minimum number of points is 4.  Docking along that path will look strange.  You may wish to edit the model.

I don't know how serious this is, but I would like to fix it. Problem is I have no idea how to work models. So if this is a relatively easy fix, I'm hoping someone will help me take care of it.

[General Battuta]

The MOI fix should be pretty easy. Someone with a better knowledge of PCS2 than I should probably explain it, but I believe it has a tool to autogenerate the model's MOI.

[The E]

Code: [Select]

GTtca Hestia (hestia.pof) has a null moment of inertia!

Open the pof in PCS2, and check if it has a defined mass. Assign one if it doesn't, then click the "Generate MOI" button. It'll tell you that it's bad at doing this, but that's a lie.

Code: [Select]

Invalid subobj_num or model_num in subsystem 'engine01' on ship type 'GTtca Hestia'.
Not linking into ship!

(This warning means that a subsystem was present in the table entry and not present in the model
it should probably be removed from the table or added to the model.)

Check the model in PCS2 if those subsystem names match up. They'll either be subobjects of LOD 0, or under the "Special Points" readout. The spelling needs to be exactly the same in both the tbl and the model; alter the tbl if necessary.
If the engine subsystems are modelled in, make sure they have the "$special=subsystem" property.

Code: [Select]

Ship 'GTtca Hestia' does not have subsystem 'engine01' linked into the model file, 'hestia.pof'.

Related to the above. Fix the error mentioned above, then try again.

Code: [Select]

Ship class GTtca Hestia has only 3 points on dock path "Ldockpath".  Recommended minimum number of points is 4.  Docking along that path will look strange.  You may wish to edit the model.

As the warning says. Dock paths should have 4 points, yours have 3. You can use the Auto-Gen button in PCS2's path editor to autocreate paths, or you can leave it as it is. It's not a serious error.


EDIT: Looking at the tbl and the ship (We're talking about this one: http://www.freespacemods.net/download.php?view.239 yes?), someone messed up royally.

Here's the corrected tbl:

Code: [Select]

$Short name: Shelter
$Species:                       Terran
+Tech Description:
XSTR("The  production project off the GTtca  Hestia started shortly after the Capella  incident in order to combine power  emergence and low cost in the post - war  GTVA territories. Originally designed as  a large freighter, It was only matter off  time to be noticed that her body shape  was ideal for accommodating a fair amount  off fighter/bomber squadrons and deploy  them were the presence off a destroyer  was strategically effectless, or simply too  expensive. After the essential  arrangements, Hestia was presented as  a Tactical Carrier (that's what `tca`  stands for) but left any other impression  than that. It was from the test - flights that  her crewmembers found her heavy,  slow, hard to manoeuvre and poorly  armed. Yet, despite her `piece off junk`  performance and appearance, Hestia  can easily carry and support 24  fighters/bombers for long hauls and this  particular attribute promises her a key -  role to the aggrieved GTVA fleet. She is  also offered to civilian buyers under the  permission off the GTVA for privet defence purposes against raiders and pirates.", 3140)

I've also attached the corrected pof.

Thanks a lot. That fixes it.
