Reference File Issues

from Sins 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?

those reference files are not up to date that is why you are having problems

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 XD. 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.
