hello:

I'm in the middle of preping a mod for release for the next version of fleet ops but i'm runnig into a quite complex problem, but i'll explain it as easy as i can:

The ships fires a replaceweapon which then drops a u_ball object which is armed with a quantumbeam weapon that the ai uses to gate in a ship. the complex replaceweapon allows a randon ship entry instead of a single set class. how ever somewhere in the code is a discrepencey that causes a CTD when it fires. if any modders here know how to manipulate advanced Replaceweapon code, please take a look and see if i'm doing anything wrong.


Edit: added cashlog

Hmm.  I looked through the odf's and couldn't find anything obviously wrong like misspelled references or something.  I'll leave it to someone more aquainted with these kinds of weapons.*looks at dom*

Hehe, I'm afraid I'm the one who made the weapon 

In any case, the problem is just the missing or incorrect references: the weapon works fine in the A2 stock import, because all the references are there -> it doesn't work in FO, because the references are based on stock and not all the references were changed or were changed correctly. I'll give another shot to find which reference is incorrect, but again, this is just about changing one thing at a time, rather than substituting all files at once

Ok, simple reason why it didn't work 

fed_scout isn't an ODF! fed_venture is if that's what you wanted 

EDIT: tested it in FO without alterations other than fed_venture replacing fed_scout reference, and now it works fine

THIS IS WHY YOU DON"T MOD AT 3:00 AM IN THE MORNING PEOPLE.

thanks dom, i forgot the FO uses the ships name and not the class in the designation, stupid me, all this for a spelling error. i nearly had a heart attack.


Edit: i've also been working alot with the dominion dsouc,t its odf is dom_scout, i think it threw me off, stinkin scout wars mini mod.

Edit2: attached sr=creeny, OH YEAH thats awesome, now just to clean it up a bit and slow that fire rate down.

Hey, dom_scout is an odf, how was I supposed to know that fed_scout wasn't.   I haven't done any stock modding(or trek modding for that matter) since the Excalibur incident.
