Adding more tech in Entrenchment 1.03 leads to crash

from Sins Forums

Hi,

 

<!-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} -->

I've finally bought Entrenchment and tried to port my personal mod, but the game just kept crashing. No big, it's not exactly something rare.

 

The problem is that I can't get the game to stop crashing. I've edited PlayerTech.entity back to normal, and the game starts normally, as expected. I've modded an existing tech, again without problems. I've renamed the tech file to * RESEARCHSUBJECT_ABCTECH0.entity *, and everything is fine (of course the game is now basically unmodded again). But the moment I edit PlayerTech.entity, increase the tech count by one, and add the new tech file name, the game crashes.

 

 

PlayerTech.entity:

***

            researchInfo

                        count 118

                        entityDefName "RESEARCHSUBJECT_ABCTECH0"

                        entityDefName "RESEARCHSUBJECT_ABILITYACCESS_CLUSTERWARHEADS"

***

 

Anyone got an idea what the problem might be? Because I'm all out of ideas.

It looks like you haven't edited the entity.manifest yet. Your new research needs to be added to the entity.manifest, and you need to update the count at the top of the manifest, then it should work.

did you try using the developer.exe to figure out what went wrong?

I actually wrote it to help me mod entrenchment, and not liking the idea of typo's and wrong case for the commands Idecided to write a utility do do all the fiddle work for me. but I decided to write it to suit people other than myself and release it so that others that hit a similar porblems would be able to have a quick fix to the problem and also encorage more modders into the community
