Which mod?
Ashes of the Singularity II

Welp, I don't see it listed in the mod database. Did the mod have a readme with it with installation instructions?

It's also possible that it's somehow incompatible with 1.03, which is possible depending on what exactly it changed.

I bet its a 1.03 issue. In fact I bet a substantial amount of money on it. This mod would have almost certainly changed the Gameplay.CONSTANTS file.

Well the weird thing is even with a different gameplay.constants the custom race should still appear in the selection - that has nothing to do with the constants file. Just having a different playerrace.entity file with "isSelectable TRUE" on will cause it to appear on new game creation..

So I'm a little puzzled why/how the constants file could affect race selection :o

Oh, my mistake. I haven't used this mod, so I'm throwing out guesses really. I still leave my bet of a 1.03 issue though ;)

could be a .string problem that got changed too (tried to load an old version of sins plus and got desc erors everywhere... then come on thismorn to a new ver :p ) but there still should be a space there

It is my Mod and I did make changes to the str file.

It would seem it dose not work with the 1.3 patch.

When I load it I also get string errors in the game map selection.

Looking into it.
