Hi,

Thanks for replying so quickly. I think I did what you said.

I put the Sins_DEVELOPER application in the Sins of a Solar Empire folder, the same folder that has the application file that launches the game, but the Sins_DEVELOPER application failed to launch. The file kept looking for other files. I had to hit the task manager feature and close the application.

Did I do something wrong?

Hi,

When I start the Sin_DEVELOPER the application starts and a gray error box appears and says:

_________________________________________________________

Text FileArchive missing Label.

  File: .\Galaxy\The Stellar Frontier.galaxy
  Label: browseName
  Line Number:4
  Line Contents:browseDescription "Fight out the original war between the predecessors of Sins, the Terran, Drengin and     Arcean. Version 1.0"

_________________________________________________________

My choices on the error box are Skip, Skip All or Break.

When I selected skip other files similar to the file showed up missing. 

What's funny is the game works great. I've even been able to download a MOD and some of the MAPS from the website. No problems.

Earlier tonight I tried to duplicate the error messages but when I selected Skip the beginning intro video for the game started a continuous loop. When I clicked my mouse button to end the video the game started but the pixelation made the game unreadable.

Any ideas?

Hi,

So far no luck.

I removed the game and reinstalled just the CD.

After I installed the developer.exe file and I kept getting more error messages then I could count. Finally the developer.exe file showed a pop-up box with a C++ error before the application shutdown.

Examples of error messages:

Failed to find file 'ChatListItem.font' in either primary path or secondary path. subDir(Font)

Is there a better DEVELOPER.exe file that I can download?

Hi,

I did what you said and I updated my game to 1.05. The game works as it did before; no noticiable changes yet.

When I started the DEVELOPER.exe file the opening video works fine but the pop-up screen that appears after the video has a lot of pixilation.

When the DEVELOPER.exe file starts-up the application has the following path listed on the top of the window:

C:\Users\Owners\Appdata\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Debug\log-6124.txt

The path where I have the DEVELOPER.exe file is: C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Sins of a Solar Empire

Did I do this correctly?

Progress has been made.

I moved the game file from my laptop to my desktop. The DEVELOPER.exe file runs fine. No problems.

What should I do now in order to create my own MODS?
