| Summary | 0002498: Ships with invalid species defined hang the game with no error message/debug entry | ||||
| Description | If you add a ship to your mod and its species is not listed in species_defs.tbl, when you display it with thrusters in the tech room or load a mission that it appears in, the game hangs with no error message or debug entry until you kill the process. | ||||
| Additional Information | This makes diagnosing the table error difficult at times. In my case, since my Wings mod has a species that is named "Others" and has a FRED color that is nearly identical to the color given ships with invalid species, I overlooked a freighter class that had an invalid species. I had to build my own debug build and run the debugger to diagnose the issue. This sort of error should cause FSO to crash immediately with a clearly labeled error message, so no one has to go through an ordeal like mine again. A tbm with a purposely invalid ship entry is included with this report to demonstrate the bug. It is a modified Ulysses with the species "Vogon", which is not defined. | ||||

With the attached ship, I am unable to cause the hang in the F3 model viewer, but the game does hang when I get into mission and fire a missile. |

Fixed in revision 8103. Invalid species refrences will now generate an error during parsing. |
