[Solved] "Outrider Fix" Problem
Posted: Mon Jul 13, 2020 8:33 am
@Ace Antilles/XWAUP Team, I don't think you realise this but your fix for the Outrider/YT2400 will potentially cause more problems
In your "fixed" Outrider.ini file you have added the lines
There is where your problem lies, all you have done it to take those lines from the MillenniumFalcon1.ini
But you seem to forget there are 3 Millennium Falcons
Whoever put the "Outrider Fix" together has installed the Lando version of the Falcon
MillenniumFalcon1 = Lando Calrissian and Nien Nunb version
MillenniumFalcon2 = Han Solo and Chewbacca version
MillenniumFalcon3 = Episode VII The Force Awakens version
Which ever Falcon you select the other 2 are deleted so if you select the default in the installer which is the Han Solo and Chewbacca version, then you install
MillenniumFalcon2.ini
MillenniumFalcon2.opt
MillenniumFalcon2Cockpit.opt
MillenniumFalcon2Exterior.opt
MillenniumFalcon2Gunner.opt
MillenniumFalcon2Gunner2.opt
MillenniumFalcon1 & MillenniumFalcon3 opts and files are deleted
So if you select Episode VII The Force Awakens version which will install MillenniumFalcon3 opts and files, then the MillenniumFalcon1 & MillenniumFalcon2 opts and files are deleted
I only found this out myself when installing the The Force Awakens Millennium Falcon, I had previously installed Han Solo and Chewbacca version so I expected the other opt files to be in the Flightmodels folder, but there was only, which makes sense as it won't clutter up you flightmodels folder
MillenniumFalcon3.ini
MillenniumFalcon3.opt
MillenniumFalcon3Cockpit.opt
MillenniumFalcon3Exterior.opt
MillenniumFalcon3Gunner.opt
MillenniumFalcon3Gunner2.opt
Do you see you problem yet?
In your "Fixed" Outrider.ini you have MillenniumFalcon1Gunner and MillenniumFalcon1Gunner2
But what if whoever installs the Falcon selects the Han Solo and Chewbacca version which is MillenniumFalcon2
So you'll have all the Falcon opt associated with MillenniumFalcon2 but your Outrider.ini is pointing to MillenniumFalcon1Gunner and MillenniumFalcon1Gunner2 which are not in the Flightmodels folder and although not tested, could crash the game due to the opt files the ini is pointing to not existing.
CORRECT FIX
If you want to correctly fix your Outrider, what you need to do is copy and paste both Gunner opts from whichever Falcon you have installed and rename them
MillenniumFalcon2Gunner.opt rename to OutriderGunner.opt
MillenniumFalcon2Gunner2.opt rename to OutriderGunner2.opt
Then replace the lines in the Outrider.ini file to
In your "fixed" Outrider.ini file you have added the lines
Code: Select all
[Turrets]
; PositionX, PositionY, PositionZ, OrientationX, OrientationY, ArcX, ArcY, OptModel, IsInverted
-19, 0, 250, 0, 16384, 12040, 17308, MillenniumFalcon1Gunner, 0
