Lunar Transfer System: renaming tanker causes crash

[rocketman768]

I downloaded and installed the Lunar Transfer System from Andy44. I launched a tanker into orbit, and then made the following scenario

BEGIN_DESC
I just launched a large fuel tank into orbit. Now it's time to launch the LTV.

If you try to target Tanker1 in orbit MFD, it shows a bunch of nonsense characters. If you try to switch views to Tanker1 (or just leave Orbiter running for a few minutes), it will crash.

The weird thing is that if you rename Tanker1 to Jumbo_Tanker, then everything works fine. What's the deal?

JumboTanker v0.9
NovaSSTO v0.51-beta

IIRC, that was put together with spacecraft3.dll, and spacecraft3 has certain restrictions on what vessels built with it can be named.

 

[Andy44]

I think it is a spacecraft3.dll constraint that the vessel has to have the same name as the .ini file, so you either have to name the vessel "Jumbo_Tanker", or you can make a copy of the .ini file with the name you want the vessel to have.

If you go the second rout, you will have to copy the .cfg file as well, and edit the text of the cfg file, or else you may lose the docking port and comm frequencies and so forth.

Thanks so much! I have been playing a while, but this is the first time I have tried to change scenario files, so thanks for the info.
