MiniDump Help

MiniDump Help

March 8, 2009 2:46:58 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Hello there, I have recently (recently being 30 minutes ago) taken an interest in modding SoaSE. So I downloaded the modding tools, the modding guide and what not. All I tried to do was edit the TEC battleship's Gauss Blast ability to be amazing by changing the range, coold down time, antimatter cost and then the damage in the buff file. I saved it and thought everything was fine. I tried to enable my mod though in Sins and it minidumped. Can anyway help me debug why this happened?

 

EDIT: I replaced my game info inside my mod folder with the original gameinfo and it still mnidumps, even if I don't change anything. Any thoughts?

well, therse a few things that cause this, first is clear out your galixy folder (the one in the same directory as your mod folder) because that is known to cause mini dumps some times. the second thing you need to do is make sure that all the mod files are the same version as the game. also, make sure if you added new files to entrenchment (if you got it) that you update the Entity.manifest.

Hmm ok thanks I do have another question though, the mod guide from StarDock came with the gameinfo folder encoded in normal text instead of binary, do you know where I can get a updated version of this decrypted gameinfo folder?

the new forge tools is usualy kept up to date. or you can use the convert data GUI and read up in their respective threads and convert the data yourself (this is my prefered method to be honest) and you can even easily convert it back to binary. keep in mind entrenchment convert data and original sins convert data varries
