Need help: getting crashes with UGW & 1 particular wingman

[TheLastBrunnenG]

I'm working on a mod to make several of the unique ship encounters in the game into wingmen. For example, I have The Slicer approach you after you defeat him in the arena asking if you'll teach him your combat skills - if you agree, he'll become a wingman just like Rama. Works well. Before I release it I want to make a UGW-compatible version as well. I got The Slicer working perfectly as a wingman, both with UGW and without.

Problem is with Juan Carlos Uribe y Vasquez. He's the freighter pilot you meet on the "retrieve the data ROM" mission from a Fleet CSC. If you save him from the Ares ambush, he asks to accompany you. Works fine in the non-UGW version. Problem is the UGW version of Juan Carlos. He becomes a wingman; like all UGW wingmen you can give him orders, dock with him, loot, jettison, see his ship config, even use barrels from his inventory. But if you dock with Juan Carlos the UGW Wingman and choose "Let Me Fly", then it goes haywire. Game freezes for a minute or so. Once it unfreezes you have control of Juan Carlos' ship; his weapons all list as #ERROR, your original ship won't follow you like normal, and firing a weapon or doing anything except moving/rotating causes a crash to desktop.

Here's the entire "Juan Carlos the UGW Wingman" mod, pastebinned: http://paste.neurohack.com/view/YfcaA/

I tried replacing the createship line with other ships such as scRoninJenna and it has the same result: if you choose "Let Me Fly", you get a momentary freeze, then a screen with some errors and a quick crash. That makes me think the problem isn't in the scEI500JuanCarlosW shipclass section.

Right now I have Juan Carlos approaching you the first time you get promoted after doing his mission, using a modified dsFleetPromotion dockscreen, as seen in the pastebin. But I tried putting the code inside the scCSCTaskForce panes and having Juan Carlos approach you as you undock from the CSC after completing his mission and it had the same result. I don't think it's my other mods because SlicerWingman-UGW and the standard wingmen work fine. So I'm stumped!

Any ideas? Bobby...?

Here are my first thoughts:
Can you post the debuglog and see what it says? Or does the game hard crash?
Maybe you have two dockscreens conflicting (the UGW and Vanilla Juan Carlos)?

Ok, I got a similar bug in this thread: http://neurohack.com/transcendence/foru ... f=5&t=4285
I was told to rewrite the code and I did. It's always hard to debug with this kind of info. :/
When updating an object, did you install or replace something?

I missed this topic when I posted in the beta bug reports section about Juan Carlos locking my computer up anytime I try to change ships after that mission is assigned. Only mods I used at the time are Playership Drones and a godmod to give me items. Juan Carlos is bugged methinks.
