Try again.. I think my firewall glitched.. I was adjusting settings.. Please try again.. that was my fault.

Yep, back up.

Any way to actually have a freighter or two in the attack the shipping style missions. Going against a heavy cruiser or bigger and a half dozen police ships (all Lyran for the ones I have played). Is a bit much, that is alot of P-1's and ESG's to go up against.

It depends on the server and what script it offers.. if you see one is Met_11ConvoyRaid.scr, then that is the stock Taldren Convoy Raid script and that is the one you want to take.

the more difficult one is the Met_NW11ConvoyRaid.scr by Nuclear Wessels

I have both options enabled on this server..

Otay, but I have yet to see a freighter. Waiting for the luck of the draw I guess,. I have enjoyed the patrol mission, at least I have a chance in that one alone.

OK another one in the bin.
it comes up as Home Patrol,
counts down as though you have drafted
some one (I was the only one on)
then when it get to the end connection to server
is lost and Hiccup happens.server is down
sorry I could not see what mission it was as i did not get to that
screen.

I've run every Convoy Raid available. There are no Freighters in the groups. They are always Frigate hulls. I would assume the scripts are looking for units to fulfill the mission matching requirements and the Freighter BPV's are just too low. NW's Convoy Raid is actually the easy one because the star kills some of the convoy for you.

That sounds like you lost connection during load up. I doubt it was the mission.

The server did crash.. I need to fine that script.. but I'm not sure which it is.. I will scrutinize the Home Patrol a bit more.

See if you can reporduce the crash.. If you can, see if you can get the script name.

I will check the BPV rating of the freighters.. If it is too low, I will bump their BVP to account for surplus ship parts being transported.

Pesty, I'm a little wary of all this script pulling. Do you really think a stock Taldren Monster mission that no one ever complained about for many years was suddenly causing the server to crash?

Pestalence_XC · « **Reply #69 on:** May 18, 2008, 09:49:45 am »

With the Hardcore shiplist.. it is possible... I may have to revert back to the OP + shiplist..

Looking through the Hardcore shiplist.. there are no freighters...

It is possible that the server it trying to generate specific ships from scripts that do not exist, thus causing the server to crash..

I will have to take a closer look since I didn't make the shiplist.

Pestalence_XC · « **Reply #70 on:** May 18, 2008, 10:20:28 am »

OK.. I just ran a comparator.. I think I found some of the problems in the shiplist

A lot of ships including Freighters, merchant ships and Q ships have been removed from all races..

I will probably have to go in and use OP + and edit it to Hardcore specifications and the ones that are "removed" change the status of them to not show up in the shipyards..

I will leave the current server up for people to play on.. but now I have a major project to undertake since there are many ships removed.

Sorry for the inconvenience..

The debugging phase will have to start all over again once I have a new shiplist done up.

I didn't realize the problems that the Hardcore shiplist could produce.. I will do up a new version of it myself to include in future OP Enhancement Packs.. I would not use the Hardcore shiplist in single player currently.. it may cause problems.

Corbomite · « **Reply #71 on:** May 18, 2008, 03:26:46 pm »

You can swap out the shiplist without losing the map as it is. There is no need to start completely over.

Pestalence_XC · « **Reply #72 on:** May 18, 2008, 03:38:59 pm »

I will swap the shiplists out later tonight when everyone is off the server.. OP + v.40 will be used.. the Hardcore shiplist will be reworked.

Also, I will put back in Met_13Monster.

the ED scripts previously pulled will remain pulled for Nuclear Wessels to review and fix.

there were reports on these same scripts in the past.. so I will take no chances.

Corbomite · « **Reply #73 on:** May 18, 2008, 07:42:36 pm »

I just killed the server with that Home Patrol again. I think that might be the Dizzy Patrol. It counts for a few seconds then just kills the link.

FA Frey XC · « **Reply #74 on:** May 18, 2008, 08:23:08 pm »

Please send me a PM on exactly what is being reworked on the shiplist.

Don't put "XC Hardcore" on it until that's done.

Thanks !

Regards,

Pestalence_XC · « **Reply #75 on:** May 18, 2008, 09:54:29 pm »

Already got with you Frey..

As for everyone else.. I need to take the server down for a couple of hours.. Doing system maintainence and don't want to corrupt the DB..

Pestalence_XC · « **Reply #76 on:** May 19, 2008, 07:33:41 am »

Server now running with OP + v4.0

Ternado · « **Reply #77 on:** May 19, 2008, 02:34:40 pm »

Seems that the allies are screwy,klink shows hydran allied on map but they are not in game... may wanna check out the alliances. Could be causing some problems in drafting and scripts.
