Strange error.

ERROR: Attempting to re-link namespace Player from ShapeBase to PlayerData with non-Zero refcount.
Retry/Cancel
That's the error. The error isn't strange, it's why it's happening that is.
In player.cs I changed the player class to Player, instead of Armor. Then I replaced all the functions with Armor::Whatever in the name to Player::Whatever. Deleted all the DSOs as I always do, ran the game (my compiled v12test_DEBUG.exe) and it worked fine.
I did that yesterday. I kept editing, just little things in other files, and the game ran fine each time. Today I did LabRat's particle and footprint fixes, compiled v12test_DEBUG.exe and went into the game. Right when I click Launch Mission that error pops up.
I compiled the original engine without the changes and it still happened. When I changed everything back to Armor:: it worked fine. It's strange that it worked for a while, then it starts giving me this error.
I can run v12Test.exe and it works fine too.
Why would it do that?

It's strange though that the error wasn't triggered before. Really weird.

I think you're right. I just changed it to Player2:: and it works fine. It might have something to do with the model too.It's strange though that the error wasn't triggered before. Really weird.

Declaring a new Datblock object constructs a new namespace, which allows you to do things like:

I'm not sure what happened the first time, but you can't use the name "Player". Player is already an existing namespace (which is why you got the error).Declaring a new Datblock object constructs a new namespace, which allows you to do things like:
datablock PlayerData(Foo)
{
};
function Foo::onAdd() {
// Function in the Foo namespace!
}All the internal C++ classes registered with the scripting language are namespaces. This includes almost all the game objects and their datablocks, so Player, PlayerData, Vehicle, Explosion, Item, ItemData, etc...
