Well i have re-installed my windows and installed Freelancer again. I created item and activated mod. Than i tured on Freelancer and it crashed. Ok i found problem. And i can`t fix it so im searching help here. Ok my problem is when i edit XXX_GOOD at line equipment = XXXX i get error.

Error appears when good is like this

[Good
nickname = blck_rat_tractor
equipment = blck_rat_tractor
category = equipment
price = 1000
item_icon = equipment\models\commodities\crates\crate_grey.3db
combinable = false
ids_name = 65536
ids_info = 65536
shop_archetype = equipment\models\commodities\crates\crate_grey.3db

It doesn`t apear when good is like this

[Good
nickname = blck_rat_tractor
equipment = ge_s_tractor_01
category = equipment
price = 1000
item_icon = equipment\models\commodities\crates\crate_grey.3db
combinable = false
ids_name = 65536
ids_info = 65536
shop_archetype = equipment\models\commodities\crates\crate_grey.3db

i take it this id from your misc_good.ini

can you post your corresponding part from misc_equip.ini as well plz

i dont see anything wrong with your code so the error must be in the other part i assume

well my misc_equip.ini is like this

[Tractor
nickname = blck_rat_tractor
ids_name = 65536
ids_info = 65536
volume = 0.000000
mass = 0
max_length = 2500
reach_speed = 2500
color = 255.500000, 0.500000, 0.000000

[Tractor
nickname = blck_rat_tractor
ids_name = 65536
ids_info = 65536
volume = 0.000000
mass = 0
max_length = 2500
reach_speed = 2500
color = 255.500000, 0.500000, 0.000000
operating_effect = tractor_beam
tractor_complete_snd = tractor_complete
lootable = false

color = 255.500000, 0.500000, 0.000000

Change your color to this color = 255, 0, 0 instead of what you have. I dont know if that will make a difference or not but that looks off to me. I have never seen 255.5 color before. So give it a shot and let us know. Everything else looks ok.

Is this being sold anywhere? If so can you post that code also. if this does not help.

Well its being sold and i have no problem if i use nickname from another mod but if i make my own nickname game just crashes. So i downloaded mod with nicknames "LittleMassiveMode" i think and took theyr nicknames and no everything works perfectly

it looks fine, try changing the name of both the goods entry and tractor (correct the markets too) as it could be a rare CRC collision - these happen when the hash of one item happens to be the same as another and the game could potentially crash..

how are you adding this IDS entry to the dlls or is it an existing one? try a default one, because bad DLLs can cause crashes too

when in doubt start from scratch i always (never) say

crctool + flscan + fl ini analyzer + flspit are your friends!

(filemon can help too, but is probably not for most)
