I think there was another reason i.e. if you want to use some FL Api functions for querying market data for bases, the base has to be “loaded” and the only way to do that was to load the whole system. So if you have hook functionality where you need to query all bases (i.e. we did this for our dynamic economy implementation) you would have to load the whole universe at startup so you can query all bases.

I updated the first post with winetricks riched30, since otherwise the server will crash on shutdown with current wine versions.

Yes, we tried in a VM with Windows 7 and the behaviour is the same. I found the error (and it was what I was afraid of): I left out one file from the patch when I made the mod installer years ago. Since the clients don’t need the server.dll it did not matter 😕 Now it haunts me years later 😞

Thanks for all the help and sorry for the confusion.

Topic is being updated here:

ALE Editor Alpha 2 Release

hey,

we already got a redmine project tracker here:

http://forge.the-starport.net/projects/flopenserver

also with SVN support.

A function will preserve all registers except for eax (and esp, eip obviously) so I dont understand what the problem is with edi?

I can provide screenshots and files when I am back home at the weekend.
Most likely it is not a bug. We are most certainly just doing something wrong in the process. Would be great to figure out what.

Thanks for the input so far.

Edit:
Ive been testing this issue for some weeks meanwhile with different models and different methods, remodeling the surs in different ways for these tests.
And yes, I would say red parts are where the collision lag started in most of my observations. I believe I even have a video showing how it is triggered.

Probably 11 years too late but iUnk8 is the BaseID of the base the Solar is linked to.

I tried that a while ago and the result was at least with ‘combinable = false’, that
those could be mounted as internal equipment So I didn’t recognize any possible use,
I just misused that to mount some nonsense stuff like ‘cup holder’, ‘airbag’, …
Finally we noted, that it seemed possible with that stuff mounted,
to go beyond the ships bat/bot limit, by looting bots/bats

With the last version I tied to exploit this
and build bat / bot extenders like

misc_equip.ini
[ShieldBattery]
nickname = batterypod001
ids_name = 0 ;GENERATESTRRES(“Battery Pod” )
ids_info = 0 ;GENERATEXMLRES(“<xml><rdl><push><tra data=“1” mask=“1” def=”-2"><just loc=“center”><text>Battery Pod</text><para><para><tra data=“0” mask=“1” def=“-1”><just loc=“left”><text>A very handy equipment part, which allows you to store additional lots of Shield Batteries. Only backdraw - the dealer won’t sell more than, valid for your ship and you have to loot the additional ones.</text><para></para></just></tra></para></para></just></tra></push></rdl></xml>" )
volume = 35
mass = 20
hit_pts = 2500

misc_good.ini
[Good]
nickname = batterypod001
equipment = batterypod001
category = equipment
price = 9999999
item_icon = equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\equipicon_license.3db
combinable = false
ids_name = 0 ;GENERATESTRRES(“Battery Pod” )
ids_info = 0 ;GENERATEXMLRES(“<xml><rdl><push><tra data=“1” mask=“1” def=”-2"><just loc=“center”><text>Battery Pod</text><para><para><tra data=“0” mask=“1” def=“-1”><just loc=“left”><text>A very handy equipment part, which allows you to store additional lots of Shield Batteries.

shop_archetype = equipment\models\commodities\crates\crate_grey.3db

This is not tested by now and it might cause other problems,
as getting kicked 4 cheating, when lifting off with too much bots/bats.
