There is a bug with the multiverse right now where sometimes, some people are not receiving all of the required libraries. George has been contacted, so hopefully he can look into this soon.

TSB has been updated to v0.4.1.5

* switched to using a UNID library as the root TSB library. This UNID library now allows for optional inclusion of TSB assets into other mods depending on if the user has TSB installed or not.
* fixed some assets
* fixed missing text on dockscreen options
* fixed dalvan & some centauri occupations being blank
* all centauri occupations now have shops after you free them
* all TSB systems should now have the little placeholder stars/dots on the human space map before you explore them
* some stations have had their spawning criteria fixed (not all though)
* fixed a description typo
* updated some credits & API versions
* all files are unified on LF line-endings

Known issues:
* Some stations will still show up in weird locations (ex, the backroads) if you have other mods installed
* The new VSS playerships are still in a testing-enabled state where you can start the game with them, and they have their stock gear. This is intended and will be changed over in 0.4.2.0 to them not being available as starting ships, but rather as shipbroker ships instead.

George is looking into the issues with multiverse.
For now, first add the mod on multiverse, and then stick the TDB files for TSB into your collections folder (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1efCsPu ... sp=sharing), and then start the game and let it download the other non-TSB libraries that TSB still requires. That should hopefully get you through the download process.

If you are still getting missing library issues, let us know.

TSB has been updated to v0.4.1.6

Changelog:
* HSR was updated (fixes the display of Frontier region on map)
* Backend improvements and updates
* Switched legacy jpg+bmp assets to pngs to address repo size overrun on the dev side, and to smooth the process of onboarding the new pngs getting rendered. It does make the download a bit bigger unfortunately.
* Build & deployment system improvements, backup download now contains all dependencies.
* Updated some assets for libraries in catalog view

Download link if multiverse isnt working for you atm:

Downloaded from the link in the previous post.
Can't select TSB in the start menu
Getting:
[TSB_Extension.tdb Line (38): Unable to find library: a00a0000]

Signed in to the Multiverse and the only thing that happened was

Code: Select all

2024-10-05 23:34:09	Downloaded: Cache\LFS_Lib.tdb
2024-10-05 23:34:10	Replaced extension: Collection\LFS_Lib.tdb
This happens every time I sign in.
Stupid code. Do what I want, not what I typed in!

Finally sorted.
These are the files needed and these are how thier names need to be, any "EXPORT" in the names will stop the mod loading.

TSB Collection.jpg (37 KiB) Viewed 2376 times
These need to be directly in the Collection folder, not in the "...deployment..." folder.

From a quick 2 minute look, very impressive.

Oh oops, sorry if the deployment system misnamed some stuff, we'll look into that.

WOW! Good stuff!

Looks good, clever items and thank you for the tractor beam. This is like TBR where I don't think anyone will ever be able to explore it all!

Had a game breaking bug.
Tried to load the game and was stopped by this:

Code: Select all

Unable to load game
Games\RELANAT-4111.sav: System 5b: Unable to load object.
State: Loading object subclass
ObjectClassID: 100007

Oh! sorry we missed responding about the bug.

Can you report that issue to George? Those are core engine bugs that shouldn't be happening, likely something with failing to serialize all data into the save file resulting in corruption when it loads back up.

[Edit]: also the object ID in the error is from vanilla, not TSB, but as mentioned above its probably not even related to the object itself but rather the engine code.

We finally managed to reproduce the "Multiverse failing to download all libraries" bug on our side, and as a result we were able to packet capture what the multiverse and game were doing.

The issue is that multiverse is failing to correctly automatically add all library dependencies to your collection, and the game blindly trusts whatever multiverse is saying is in the collection and needs to be downloaded. Some bug on multiverse's side causes it to fail to add everything in, resulting in only some of the libraries downloading.
Unfortunately there is no easy user-end fix other than to wait, or for TSB specifically, to download the TDB files off of our google drive. Sometimes it resolves itself, sometimes not.

The issue has been sent to george along with the captured relevant packet, and hopefully he will be able to finally fix this long-standing and elusive issue.
