Topic: hardpoint editing's life-ending misery

[Reverend]

Allright, I read some tutorials, but I am still having trouble editing hardpoints, sepcifically AI hardpoints... I put a model(s) in playable race slots, and had them all but bare except for the officers in DefaultLoadOut... I then ran the skirmish mode, and refittted it with a decent layout, (play tested them, they worked fine then) then saved it in the CustomLoadOUt, where I then copy and pasted to DefaultLOadOut... I moved these ships' stats over to AI slots, like extra Ferengi Marauders. It still says they have invalid hardpoints, and it freezes up when you load a mission with them. I ran D'deridex's Hardpoint editor, but it shows the same layout, and all the hardpoints match up numerically in DefaultLoadOut. I also added .gf files accordingly.  What is going wrong- there is like 15 ships I went through this process with,; they are Atolm's Gorn and Vulcan ships... AAAAGH! What am I doing wrong and what will amend this? Thank you for any and all responses.

Are you sure that the AI is running the model you assigned?

You mentioned Ferengi Marauders, I wonder if the computer has the Ferengi model using Gorn specs. (where it should be using the Gorn specs with Gorn model.)

That is an excellent point, but, no, that isn't it either- I was being double careful on the model allocation part. I inserted it again as a Romulan ship, so I could take a few good screenshots, and it played perfectly- I cannot imagine what the problem would be, since I had some Tholian models originally in place of the Ferengi- they came out pretty good.
