Neverending stargate transition from Eridani

[otakd]

Hi guys - little issue loading the second star system (in this case, Groombridge) on a modded game. In reading through other posts that seem to relate to my own issue (https://forums.kronosaur.com/viewtopic. ... w=previous, https://forums.kronosaur.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=7306), my first thought was that the quantity of extensions - roughly two dozen - was dragging things out. The endless stargate transition effect lasts at least ten minutes, however, and didn't seem to have an end in sight when I gave up.

I suspect this has more to do with mod incompatibilities than anything else, but I'm no modder. I'll include a debug. Could anyone tell me what this might be stemming from? Known mod issues, general wisdom, whatever...

In the meantime, I'll start sifting through the extensions and see if I can arrive at a resolution by elimination

Thanks in advance!

 I can tell you what’s probably causing it — I had the same problem in TBR — but it only shows up for 1.6 and later, and only on Windows which caused me no end of confusion trying to debug, since I didn’t have the problem showing up running on Linux under WINE. Most likely, it’ll be an older mod with a graphics-less virtual station created via sysCreateStation in an <OnGlobalSystemCreated> event. Short of going through each mod individually and trying to find the offending code (which, for a non-modder to do, would be… entertaining to watch), your best bet would probably be to start new games and add one mod per game until you run into the problem. The last mod activated is most likely going to be your culprit.

Thanks for the response, AP. Although not a solution per se, it's enormously more helpful than my otherwise ongoing ignorance! I'll start by adding mods most lately updated, and work backwards chronologically. Much appreciated

Edit: Thanks, by the way, for the hours of additional gameplay I've enjoyed with your own extensions. Enjoying a run with the Heron at the moment - great stuff!
