looks like you've got some major problems with your "data:scripts\scar\restrict.lua" file... Let's see it.

i haven't even changed it...

[ajlsunrise]

okay have you modified any of the "data:scripts\building and research\" files (ie. hiigaran, vaygr)?

edit:
and so you know... It's not a good idea to have all the extracted data IN your data folder... it is okay to have it in the "data\data" folder or "data\extracted data".

[Ultraxwing]

i know that, i just put that there just incase i ever have a campaign, but i won't, and i got rid of vaygr so i can put in 3 more races, so the vaygr don't exist... i still don't know why this would even effect for an interceptor... but it might be doing the trick... so whats the problem dock?

[ajlsunrise]

so race.lua looks somewhat like this:
NotPlayable = 0
Playable = 1

races =
{
{"Invalid", "Invalid", "", "", 0, NotPlayable,"" },
{"Hiigaran", "$1100", "hyperspace_gate", "etg/special/SPECIAL_ABILITIES_HYPERSPACE_IN", 9.5, Playable,"HGN_"},
{"SOMERACE_1", "$1101", "hyperspace_gate_vgr", "etg/special/SPECIAL_ABILITIES_HYPERSPACE_IN", 9.5, Playable,"VGR_"},
{"SOMERACE_2", "$1102", "hyperspace_gate_kpr", "etg/special/SPECIAL_ABILITIES_HYPERSPACE_IN", 12.5, NotPlayable,"KPR_"},
{"SOMERACE_3", "$1103", "hyperspace_gate_bentusi", "etg/special/SPECIAL_ABILITIES_HYPERSPACE_IN", 18.5, NotPlayable,"BEN_"},
}

edit: do you have IRC?

[Ultraxwing]

Well it looks like this...

NotPlayable = 0
Playable = 1
races =

{ "Hiigaran", "$1100", "hyperspace_gate", "etg/special/SPECIAL_ABILITIES_HYPERSPACE_IN", 9.5, Playable, "HGN_", },

{ "American", "America", "hyperspace_gate_kpr", "etg/special/SPECIAL_ABILITIES_HYPERSPACE_IN", 10, Playable, "AMR_", },
}



i changed everything about it, so it seems Vaygr doesn't exist anymore neither does Kpr,or bentus, others are manually added, i only keep hiigara cause i need AI testing you know.

[ajlsunrise]

that would be the problem, then. in Restrict.lua the global Variable Race_Vaygr is set to 2 which when RestrictMP is called, the player you selected as Germans (2) are calling for the Vaygr stuff... My suggestion (for now):
races = {
{ "Invalid", "Invalid", "", "", 0, NotPlayable, "" },
{ "Hiigaran", "$1100", "hyperspace_gate", "etg/special/SPECIAL_ABILITIES_HYPERSPACE_IN", 9.5, Playable, "HGN_"},
{ "Vaygr", "$1101", "hyperspace_gate_vgr", "etg/special/SPECIAL_ABILITIES_HYPERSPACE_IN", 9.5, Playable, "VGR_"},
{ "Germany", "4th Reich", "hyperspace_gate", "etg/special/SPECIAL_ABILITIES_HYPERSPACE_IN", 10, Playable, "GER_"},
{ "Japan", "Japan", "hyperspace_gate", "etg/special/SPECIAL_ABILITIES_HYPERSPACE_IN", 10, Playable, "JAP_"},
{ "China", "Chinese", "hyperspace_gate", "etg/special/SPECIAL_ABILITIES_HYPERSPACE_IN", 10, Playable, "CHI_", },
{ "Soviet", "Soviets", "hyperspace_gate", "etg/special/SPECIAL_ABILITIES_HYPERSPACE_IN", 10, Playable, "SOV_", },
{ "American", "America", "hyperspace_gate", "etg/special/SPECIAL_ABILITIES_HYPERSPACE_IN", 10, Playable, "AMR_", },
}
i.e. Get rid of Random and put the vaygr back in, at least until you're ready to do some more extensive lua programming.

[Ultraxwing]

Okay, then will that fix my interceptor problems?

Well it fixed alot of bugs... but... well it just decided to still crash, it fixed alot of issues with game, but my game still crashes, i think its the .HOD or ship, i'll work on that, besides the issue at hand ,thnx for the help.

[ajlsunrise]

try it first, and if it doesn't then(ninja'd) post another hw2.log for me to look at.

[Ultraxwing]

Now it doesn't even get past the game... what does this mean?

look here: LUA 'data:SubSystem\FRIGATE_MAIN\FRIGATE_MAIN.events' -- parameter: <name> or `[' expected;

not sure what the Hgn_Interceptor_Custom0_On$$$ is... Did you try to create an animation?

[Ultraxwing]

No i got rid of the .MADSTATES.. and got rid of all trace within the .EVENTS file so, i dunno, i'll just remake it, nothing is wrong with that subsystem... it works all the same.
