Reference File Issues

October 10, 2009 1:43:18 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I'm practically new to modding Sins, so it may be ineptitude causing the problem, but I can't seem to alter the game at all using the reference files. Even if I just copy-paste game info without changing anything, the game crashed when I enable the mod. I've made sure I'm using the latest reference files, but they still don't work.

I can, however, use copied files from the original Sins of a Solar Empire GameInfo folder, but these can't be modified...only deleted.

Is there some way to remedy this so I can use the reference files without crashing the game?

They were the newest set of reference files (entrenchment 1.041), and I still have no idea why they weren't working. Luckily, I found a way to sidestep the issue by converting my own files into txt form. Thanks for trying to help, though.

Oh, I were thinking of telling you how to do that, though seems as that won't be necesary . btw, where did you get the reference files from?

I managed to get the files from a link in another post, but now that I think about it...the reference files get wiped out with every update, so it's kind of futile constantly download new reference file with every new update.
