Mod crushes when trying to apply changes

April 3, 2009 10:00:02 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Okey here's my problem, I go to the mod screen and enable the mod, but when click on apply changes the game, for whatever reason, freezes on me. Can someone please tell me what's wrong?

You probably made a formatting error in a data file, like not changing one of the numEntity #s.

Go to GameInfro, sort by Date Modified, and delete recent files until the game stops crashing. Then undelete files until you have narrowed down which file it is.  Then fiddle with that file until it starts working.

If you can't get it to work, just delete that file and start re-modifying it from backups.

Yeah I tried that I actually just put an entire fresh  copy of gameinfo folder for Forge Tools referance data and it still freezes when I try to load. It doesn't crush, it just freezes and sits there, when I open up the task manager it shows that the game is not responding, is there anything else I do I even tried applying the mod by editing the EnabledMods txt by changing the enabledModNameCount from 0 to the number of the mod that shows after I clicked enable mod and it still freezes on me when I try to apply the changes. please if anyone can help me please do so.

sounds like it is a case of differing versions of the files, as the current forge tools (sins 1.15/entrenchment1.01) is not the same version as the current sins(1.16)/entrenchment(1.02).

I have a converted current version of both sins & entrenchment in rars that can be downloaded here http://hosted.filefront.com/harpo99999/

hope these help
