Changing entity files-crashing game

June 9, 2011 8:58:36 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

hello

 

i have been having trouble trying to change some entity files. i was playing sins of a galactic empire or "soge" and i was trying to change it so that the empire could have some victory star destroyers and acclamators that the republic already has.

so i though, simple change, open the playerimperial.entity in notepad and just change some values.

i tried changing: 

CRUISER_IMPESCORTCARRIER

and replacing it with 

CRUISER_REPVICTORYIDESTROYER

but for some reason it now makes the game crash on mod load, i check developer execute and didnt come up with any erros, the whole game just crashed and i cant figure out why

 

please help because i think it would be good to mix some of the the ships around

thanks

A good thing to do is post up the code, either directly on to the forum itself or use dropbox. That way we can see any errors like spacing and such.

I think that he got rid of something that was in the manifest, or something like that.

Likewise, he also has to add the ship into the PlayerIMP.entity

Is that a bin symbol I see on the first line? That would explain a lot.

all of the entity files in there start with bin

Well...if you edited them in text and they are still in Bin format, that would be your problem.  You should convert them to edit them. Text programs insert invisible character for breaks and indents and the like and the bin app will see those and try to do something with them.
