is the E: drive your cdrom? or do you have a wierd install on your computer?

The E: Drive is my second disc and I dunno why it uses it as a temp file but the problem's not there I think...

Here is a full log from the startup of the server to the crash :

Do you really have an Li06 system?? Did you make one?

Ya I made a new system for an upcoming Ship Pack and now the mod was deactivated, but I still had a MP char in this system. But my ship is for sale at Manhattan.

Ok now it's even worse... I tried to modifiy some things into the cmp and mat files of my new ship and now whenever I try to go to the Ship Dealer, I crash to desktop...

But the server no more crash and no more error in the log.

P.S. : Forgot to say I got no light nor pilot/cockpit and no weapon except mines and CM.

Have you tried using Crabtree's AWESOME Shipscripter? It sounds like you have some problems in your goods.ini if the lights and such don't work...also could be causing a crash as well. Do a search in the download section here for "Shipscripter" and it might help. Also, a tip for Shipscripter - you don't have to use the script it makes, you can copy and paste the information it generates into the appropriate files (i.e. - good.ini, shiparch.ini, etc) and that might solve at least some of your problems...

Shipscripter creates a lot of errors so follow the instructions carefully.

If you like you can send me the .ms3d file and I'll try exporting it to .cmp for you.

What sort of errors are you talking about, PantherX? I've used Shipscripter on 40 ships now, and it hasn't made any errors for me lol...If you don't USE it right, it can be a headache, but the tutorial added makes it pretty simple (if you read it hehe, i didn't at first, but i recommend you DO read it if you use the tool).

Chips helped me and now I can see the ship but I still get a server crash when I try to launch...

It is now 99% sure it's a model bug...

The zip of the model and of the texture (gray square) are found there :
http://rasquad.250free.com/System_mod/i ... orking.zip

Ok at first glance at the mesh in milkshape;

1./ You have assigned a material to all your hardpoints which is a no no (it should say 'No material')
2./ You have no weapon mounts (Hp/revolute/HpWeapon0x or Hp/revolute/HpTurret0x) on your ship.

These may not cause of the crashes but they definitely are not good.

I'm trying to make a Homeworld2 ship (Vaygr Lance fighter) in ms3d. I used the hodviewer to extract the objects and textures from HW2 (meshes are no longer .peo but .obj).
The obj importer gets it into ms3d. I can extract them with/ without inverted UVs, the following problem arises. Also, if I run model cleaner or not, same thing.
If invert UV isn't selected, object appears black in ms3d, but model cleaner fixes it.
the hodviewer extracts 2 or 3 .dds files per object in the mesh. I merged these into one .dds using layers in photoshop 7 (w/ nvidia plugin). Apparently they need to be flipped as well.
When I apply these to my model in ms3d, the model develops those black holes from inverted vertices. When I remove the texture, the inverted vertices remain. This happens no matter what state my model was in.
Can any one shed some light on this?

Still get this :

E:\FL\Scratch\Source\Common\CEqObj.cpp(463) : *** WARNING: alloc_equip: Archetype[0x8000bec6 not supported/equippable!

What's weird is that my ship is upside down and looks rotated of 90 degrees...

Anything else?

I just got had an idea... Could this error be caused because I have no sur file?
Surface_input could mean it cant find collison params?
