News ORBITER ADDON COMPETITION DEVELOPMENT THREAD

I cannot even load it I get a CTD


-----Post Added-----


I have the payload working but to test it properly I need to be able to relese it from the bay, but I cannot do that the Orbiter.log says its missing
**** WARNING: Mesh not found: .MeshesTarmac1.msh
>>> ERROR: Missing texture: CYUL_VER.dds
>>> [C:SourceOrbiterTexture.cpp / 781]
and
**** WARNING: Mesh not found: .Meshes.msh

Damn, any idea how to fix it? Sadly, I'm still a noob with making DGIV payloads. And I know that the Ion Cannon itself works (I should know, I've tested it over 20 times).

And a few other things:

• It doesn't have any dds textures, just normal colours
• Since it's bleeping hard to see the beam from the ground, I had to scale it bigger and now it looks screwed up (Oh well, good enough)
• I've included, in the recent zip file, a test scenario with the Ion Cannon in orbit and a DGIV, the files for the cannon in both the normal places and in the DGIV payload places.

have a look in your mesh folder (The one in your orbiter folder) for Tarmac1.msh

When do you re-upload it?

When you authorize me for doing it... that is to say... now

The problem was this: when i uploaded the add-on, i had to use a rewritable CD for doing it (because i don't have internet connection at my house), but some files were damaged by the CD reader of the computer i used for uploading the add-ons. I didn't realize that until the 19th (in middle of a trip outside my country), so i should manage for correcting the error in a leased computer and repack it. :sorry:

Now, i'm back in Costa Rica. And the first thing i should do yesterday was the reupload. But is until today that i could do it :sorry:

The notes for myself are these:
-Don't plan a trip when i release an add-on.
-Don't pack the add-on files on a CD.
-Carry my laptop everywhere i go.

Uhhmm.... Heh? I don't get it, my cannon doesn't have that file.

 

[Woo482]

well it comes up with that when ever I unload the cannon but apart from that it works fine

 

[Talon1]

Then I don't know what the problem is:dry: If we can't fix it, we'll just submit the cannon by itself and with it a scenario where the cannon is in orbit and another one where it's in a DGIV via Universal Cargo Deck.
