Need 1.02 StarBaseTech TXT file - SOLVED, with screenshots!

Screenshots on page 1!

from Sins Forums

I believe my problems are due to not having the 1.02 Entrenchment StarBaseTech.entity file.  Does anybody have a text version of it?  I was trying to use the 1.01 file availible from the download section of the website (reference files).

Origional problem below:

I created 2 small mods.  Both change the TEC Laser from a projectile to a beam, using the Advent stats.  To me, Laser bolts are unrealistic, i wanted beams, visible or invisible.

However just having the StarBaseTech entity in my Mods-Entrenchment v1.02/Laser Beam/Gameinfo folder makes it dissapear when I start to build it.  This is true whether I modify they contents of the file or not.

On the tree on the left I can still see the icon, and select it, give it orders, build strike craft, but I cannot see it (nor do I see completed fighters).

Anybody have any experience with this?

As far as frigates and Capital ships go, I am having no problems at all, my mod works.

What does beam Tiling Rate mean?  Also what does the first 2 hexidecimal digits mean for the colors?  Transparancy?

Try putting the starbase .mesh files in your mod's /mesh/ directory. worth a shot.

Per your suggestion I added all Entrenchment Meshes in the /mesh directory.  No change.  Thanks for the response though.

Use the convertdata utility on the starbase file from the Entrenchment directory
