Where'd my Neuralnet go?

Rewriting this post to match current situation..

cloned prop_neuralnet_d to prop_neuralnet_sp w/ a new texture.

Added entries to petaldb.ini, characters\bodyparts.ini, characters\costumes.ini and also characters\newcharacter.ini.

petaldb.ini:
Code:
prop = neuralnet_sp, Characters\props\prop_neuralnet_sp.3db


bodyparts.ini:
Code:
[Accessory]
nickname = prop_neuralnet_sp
mesh = characters\props\prop_neuralnet_sp.3db
hardpoint = hp_eyewear
body_hardpoint = hp_eyewear


costumes.ini:
Code:
[Costume]
nickname = trent
head = sp_trent_head
body = pl_trent_body
righthand = benchmark_male_hand_right
lefthand = benchmark_male_hand_left
accessory = prop_neuralnet_sp


newcharacter.ini:
Code:
[Pilot]
nickname = trent
body = trent
comm = trent
accessory = prop_neuralnet_sp
voice = trent_voice


After that, I got the prop to show up in game, but only after I started a new game. In addition, any time I would load a saved game, the prop would be gone. So I started looking further, eventually using Flcodec to decompile exe\newplayer.fl, where I added the accessory = entry and then recompiled. So my newplayer.fl now looks like:

Code:
voice = trent_voice
costume = trent
accessory = prop_neuralnet_sp
com_costume = trent


Still same issue... So trying to find out more, I used flcodec to decompile a saved game's .fl file. I have since used a hexeditor to change server.dll to save as decompiled text. The restart.fl file looks good, but the accessory is still not being saved to any save files..

Restart.fl:
Code:
voice = trent_voice
costume = trent
accessory = prop_neuralnet_sp
com_costume = trent


Savefile.fl (note there's no accessory entry):
Code:
voice = trent_voice
com_body = 3144214861
com_head = 2992488072
com_lefthand = 2479975689
com_righthand = 2264565644
body = 3144214861
head = 2992488072
lefthand = 2479975689
righthand = 2264565644


So that's where I'm at.. trying to find where the save function is referencing the saved data. If I can find that, I might be able to add the accessory so it saves every time. Until then, I'm stuck with manually editing the save file before I load it... which kinda stinks.

I've also tried adding Player entries to exe\freelancer.ini as well as data\missions\m01a.ini, with no resolution.

Any ideas or insight would be greatly appreciated... willing to hear ideas or thoughts for that matter as it may spark an idea for trying something different.. I just know I'm up against a wall with this.

Crash after Alt+F4 when your Trent have more than one accessory.
Code:
freelancer.exe; 1.0.1223.11; server.dll; 1.0.1254.11; 00068947.

That's strange, as that's where it reads a character.

I modified a save, adding prop_shades_01 and prop_hat_male_pirate_A. Alt+F4 on Manhattan worked fine (both Yes and No).

I tested it more mindfully. Crash is not stable. It's happened more when you have 5 accessories and less when you have less accessories.

I have additional crash reason: I working on customization. I created different file bodyparts.ini (mod using two files). But that's not matter. Crashes happening with single file too.

Easy way to fix - use not more 3 accessories.

Because five accessories... it's too many

Turns out the accessory count is not reset when a player is loaded, so they accumulate. There's only room for eight, so the ninth overwrites the count, causing the tenth to use invalid memory. I've updated the patch (you only need the two lines at 0672C1 if applying manually).

I updated 2 hex codes by last two addresses from patch.

Still crashes, but now with code
Code:
00000000
(may be that's my fault - need to try again)

Adoxa, thanks for you help. But we need to stop. Don't worry, 5 accessories was the my stupid idea. I already want to use only 2-3 accessories and that's not a problem for me.
