yep! that's a good link.

I'm not sure what's going on with other mods not working, but I had a look inside the mod, and there's definitely something wrong with it.
the reason it crashes after loading is because the anim, plasma_strip1, doesn't have a <sheet> tag. I'm not entirely sure why this crashes the game, but it does.
(in animations.xml.append)
Code: Select all
<anim name="plasma_strip1">
<desc length="1" x="0" y="0" />
<time>1</time>
</anim>
should be
Code: Select all
<anim name="plasma_strip1">
<sheet>plasma_strip1</sheet>
<desc length="1" x="0" y="0" />
<time>1</time>
</anim>
the game will run and not crash after that, but you have some other errors going on.
inside your data folder, you have a file "sounds.xml", which is blank. this gets rid of all the (non-DLC) sounds from the game, including all the game's music. you want that file to have a ".append" extension like your other files.
inside your data folder, you have a file "misc.xml.append". while this doesn't do anything bad for now, if you want to add anything to this file (like weapon tips) you gotta change the ".append" extension to ".rawappend". I don't remember exactly why, but this is necessary.
inside your data folder, the file "events.xml.append" has the following code:
Code: Select all
<event name="START_BEACON">
<text>Welcome to a new sector! Get to the exit beacon and jump to the next sector before the pursuing Rebels catch you!</text>
<choice hidden="true">
<text>Continue...</text>
<event/>
</choice>
<choice req="engines" lvl="1" hidden="true">
<text>(Mod) A nearby weapons cache remains open, with a weapon inside of it.</text>
<event>
<weapon name="TETRAFLARE_CANNON" />
</event>
</choice>
</event>
the <event> tag within the special blue choice is missing a <text> tag. without this <text> tag, the game skips the event prompt and just gives you the weapon. come to think of it, for testing purposes giving you a weapon like this isn't bad at all, no need to waste time with an event prompt...
if you want an event prompt, just put a <text> tag in there with anything in it, like so:
Code: Select all
<choice req="engines" lvl="1" hidden="true">
<text>(Mod) A nearby weapons cache remains open, with a weapon inside of it.</text>
<event>
<text>You sneak your way into the cache, and discreetly remove the weapon from it.</text>
<weapon name="TETRAFLARE_CANNON" />
</event>
</choice>
I also noticed in some instances the top line of some of the files has "utf=8" instead of "utf-8", but I don't think there's anything wrong with this. I'm also constantly confused what this line is even for
I'll go fix all that up and test it, then I'll make sure to be more careful next time!
