I finally decided to dive-in and take a shot at Multistage, and so for all has gone well. I'm using MS2015 for Orbiter2016, and thus far I have a two-stage launcher working no problem.
The problem I'm having is with the payload.
Since I'm well-familiar with Spacecraft3/4, I put together a simple mesh (for testing purposes) and a Spacecraft4 vessel (called "RakitCapsule") to go with it.
In Orbiter, the Capsule mesh shows up, and the whole vehicle launches perfectly, until it's time to jettison the payload, which results in a CTD.
The Orbiter.log file gives the following error:

Code: 
000018.430: >>> ERROR: No vessel class configuration file found for:
ERROR: ===========================
Spacecraft\RakitCapsule
[Vessel::OpenConfigFile | .\Vessel.cpp | 243]

I checked the Mesh file name, and it's correlation in the Spacecraft and Multistage.ini files, and they're a match.
As nearly as I can see, all is where it's supposed to be.

In Config\Spacecraft\RakitCapsule.ini:
Code: 
[PARTICLESTREAM_1]
NAME=engine
SRCSIZE=0.2
SRCRATE=1600
V0=100.0
SRCSPREAD=0.05

And then in Config\Multistage2015:

[PAYLOAD_1]
MeshName="RakitCapsule"
off=(0,0,15.9)
Diameter=1.2
Height=1
MASS=500
Module="Spacecraft\Spacecraft3"
Name=Capsule
SPEED=(0,0,2)
RENDER=1

I have the feeling that I'm missing something simple here, but I'm at a loss to find it.
My first guess is that I've defined something incorrectly in one of the .ini files.
So, in the end-run my question comes to: how do I attach a Spacecraft.dll payload to a Multistage rocket?

Sorry if it's been asked before. Cheers, and thanks!!

This has gotten me before. But it was many years ago and work has put most of my development processes on hold.

Try this...

Change Name=Capsule to - Name="Capsule"

That's the only thing I can see :shrug:

Ok, made the change in Multistage\Rakit.ini.
Now, the error shows up as...
Code: 
Mesh file name not provided
[MeshManager::LoadMesh | .\Mesh.cpp | 1237]

I double-checked the .msh file name, and it's right there in Orbeter\Meshes where it should be.
Confusing...

Try this. Change:

Code: 
[PAYLOAD_1]
MeshName="RakitCapsule"
off=(0,0,15.9)
Diameter=1.2
Height=1
MASS=500
Module="Spacecraft\Spacecraft3"
[B]Name=Capsule[/B]
SPEED=(0,0,2)
RENDER=1

to:

Code: 
[PAYLOAD_1]
MeshName="RakitCapsule"
off=(0,0,15.9)
Diameter=1.2
Height=1
MASS=500
Module="Spacecraft\Spacecraft3"
[B]Name=RakitCapsule[/B]
SPEED=(0,0,2)
RENDER=1

IIRC, in Spacecraft you have to name things EXACTLY the same as the name of the spacecraft ini file.

That was it...thank you.
Incorrect assumption on my part that I could be more liberal with the naming. I think that I see how this works now.

Thanks everyone so much, and CHEERS!

So I am trying to get a Atlas5 and Dreamchaser to work. I got her into space but then the issues. When I press J the adapter just disappears. And Then when I press J to release the dream chaser CTD.
Scenario before I press J to seperate the adapter.

Too bad it doesn't tell you, which mesh is missing.

I always have difficulty remembering all the mesh names while developing, so I forced myself to use folders.

Much simpler to keep track of 4 or 5 meshes that way, and I can use normal names like "MyRocket\stage1.msh".

The same goes for configs, just put stuff into folders, much easier to track down what's missing.


Regarding identifying missing meshes, checking \Modules\D3D9ClientD3D9ClientLog.html may give extra info.

Thanks. I see that missing mesh common with Sc3 stuff and MS2015.

I took my ms2015 rocket out of the scn and not missing mesh message.

There are 2 payloads. 1 adapter and 2 dreamchaser.
Code: 
[PAYLOAD_1]
Meshname=DreamChaser\adapter
Off=(0.000,0.000,35.100)
Rotation=(180.000,180.000,0.000)
Height=0.000
Diameter=0.000
Mass=100.000
Module=Spacecraft\Spacecraft3
Name=ADAPTER
Speed=(0.000,0.000,0.000)
Rot_speed=(0.000,0.000,0.000)
Render=1
Live=0

[PAYLOAD_2]
Meshname=DreamChaser\Dreamchaser
Off=(0.000,0.000,40)
Rotation=(180.000,180.000,0.000)
Height=0.000
Diameter=0.000
Mass=10000.000
Module=Spacecraft\Spacecraft3
Name=DREAMCHASER
Speed=(0.000,0.000,0.000)
Rot_speed=(0.000,0.000,0.000)
Render=1
Live=1

but the Atlas5 says currentpayload 3 and on the screen is says next payload adapter 10000 kg. But the next payload is the adapter at 100 kg.

IIRC you get the "missing mesh" error with spacecraft3.dll if you don't specify a mesh for the "virtual cockpit" in the .ini file. e.g.
Code: 
[VC]
MESHNAME="MyCockpitMesh"

Thanks. I don't think the mesh missing is the issue. I removed the ms2105 rocket and ran it and no missing mesh. It maybe the payload jettisoning. As there are 2 payloads but the rocket thinks there are 3

I think the missing mesh errors, can sometimes be erroneous. Sometimes the errors have been wrong attachment points, or a missing comma. A lot of SC3 errors that don't give error messages, that are hard to find.

Well I got it to work. It wasn't missing a mesh at all but a cfg. So I just made a simple sc3 ini for the adapter and seems to work

Yes, remember that you can load a sc3/4 vessel by name:spacecraft/name

The name.cfg makes the sc4 vessel work as any other vessel.

Example:
spacecraft/name.cfg
Code: 
ClassName = Spacecraft4
Module = Spacecraft4


This is relevant to multistage, depending on how you are calling your payloads. Those names need to be consistent.
I tend to prefer using .cfg because you can define extra vessel properties there.
