It all started yesterday:
My girlfriend and I were messing around (no, nothing dirty), and for some reason, she hit me in the ear with her hand cupped. My ear rang painfully, and whenever I would hear something in that ear, it would be a higher pitch compared to the other ear. After I went home, I got a PAINFUL headache that kept me up until about 3 in the morning.
This morning, I continued to work on my space station. I tried getting the Dragonfly to work, but even with reading the manual, nothing seemed to work. And for some unknown reason, at random times (I'd be taxiing, for instance), orbiter would crash. I never though anything of it, until during one crash, my Current State scenario file no longer had all the vessels in it. GONE. My backup (an autosave module) also encountered this problem. Five hours of work, GONE. At that point, I shut off my computer and watched some TV.
When I came back, I powered up my computer...and it just Hung there with the Fan spinning fast. I powered down and tried again. Same thing. So, I unplugged my Joystick and tried, and i was able to get to my desktop. However, my desktop was frozen, so i powered down again and re-tried, and it worked.
So, I launch the "base" scenario (an Ariane 6 at Wideawake), I hit the P autopilot to launch the Hera to rebuild my station. Then ANOTHER bug occurs: It would fall off the pad (see a thread I made). Then I decided "Okay, screw the Ariane 6, i'll just carry it up in an XR-5". After messing around with the .scn and the scenario editor for about a HALF HOUR, i got all the vessels where they needed to be. So, i extracted the Hera payload, and used UCD to try to fit it in the XR-5's bay...Its to big.
After futzing around with the modules in the modules tab, i FINALLY got the Ariane 6 to work properly. But, I launched a DGIV at the same time and Azimuth to meet with it. Since the DGIV is on an autopilot, I figured it could handle itself while I put a URMS on one of the XR-5's. I make the URMS, attach it to the core vessel...and now, I cant seem to move it relative to the XR-5. Orbiter then hangs for about a second, at which point I cant press F3 and make the vessel selection appear (It normally does this in windowed mode), so I exit out and restart. I select the DGIV to see how its doing, and I find the Autopilot has stopped, probably due to the fact that I closed the program. Okay, fine, I'll just restart it...false. My most recent problem is that whenever I select the panel view in the DGIV, I get a crash. Orbiter.log says this:
**** WARNING: Mesh not found: .\Meshes\.msh
I'm afraid to go to bed because maybe the roof will fall on me? Maybe someone will break into our house and steal everything, but our dogs wont hear it? Maybe the milk I just drank is expired or has some rare, deadly virus that gets passed along by eye contact? Its all possible when God hates you.
