It's heavily modded. It's the Borg Incursion VR mod with running lights mod, weapon retexture mod, physics mod, nano fx, some of the midnight universe stuff and I've added about 2-3 ships extra to each of the 5 races. All in all it's very stable it's just this ship that is giving me problems.

it's possible that during the installation of your mod/s some of the lines of code in the sprites got changed....not for the ship but for some of your weapons...

OMG, I'm not sure I even want to show my name around here for a while. I feel like an idiot who's wasted everyone's time and I'm sorry for that. It was a single character misspelling that was the problem. The torpedo file that is used in my game is "fphotl3" and it took me three days to find that I had put a number 1 in place of the letter l after phot. I checked and rechecked so many times I was blind to it. So the ship works with all weapons now and the tractor beam and self destruct work as well. I'm sorry for all the wild goose chases and want to thank everyone for the time they spent looking at this.

Hey there. I have a couple of ideas & a couple of questions about your problem, but first may I offer a simple solution that no one else has to send you a copy of my Dawnstar. I assure you it works was playing with it earlier. Anyway first question...when you commented out the weapon lines did you remember to re-number the succeeding weapon lines (eg weapon 7 would become weapon 6) so that they would function? Second have you checked the torpedo odf file to see if there's some sort of error there? Anyway hope this helps if not as I've said I have a few ideas.

Nevermind. Got up to help family with something & didn't bother to refresh. Gratz on fixing your little problem, don't be to hard on yourself though. Happens to the best of us especially when 1 missing quotation mark causes a crash to desktop aka CTD. Good Hunting!

@ Nova: I must have re-edited my post as you posted and then saved it again after your post went online. I got it to work as you can read above. Thanks for the offer though. It was just a terrible blunder on my part.

Hey at least you found it. I'm pretty sure everyone will agree with me when i say that problems with odfs and sprites can be hard to locate.
