Problems with ship carrier mod

Chase · Mon Feb 21, 2011 11:07 am

I downloaded a mod called carrier ship mod, i am able to start the game but cannot advance to any other systems, the entire game crashes without giving of a report of the failure. Can any one help?

Can you please provide the proper names of the mods you are using (and maybe also the links to the mods) and also make a proper title for your post (Like: problems with ship carrier mod). That will make it easier to help you.

Regarding your error. It is not certain that all mods will work in the current version, nor that all mods will work together. Can you provide the last couple of lines from your Debug.log?

mod name:CarrierShipMod
debug.log= save file error: saving reference to object in another system
object being referenced:
obj class: unknown
obj name: unknown
obj pointer: c89e4a8
error obtaining crash info
save file error: saving reference to object in another system

please note: the ship i was using is a Escort-class carrier, i do not have a direct link to the mod in question but i believe it was downloaded from the ship(player) near the bottom of the xelerus main download page.

Can you post the part of your debug.txt that shows what mods you have installed? Even the unid of the extension would be helpful.

It sounds like the carrier (player's ship) is trying to access the subordinate ships and when you move to a new system they no longer exist.

It will require a rework of the code which may be a large project best suited to the original author.

Indeed, that does look like an error with trying to get a hold of a ship in another system.

Also, I changed the topic of the thread to 'Problems with ship carrier mod' for you

Thats most likely. I dont believe i can see it in the debug log file. And how did you change the topic name anyway?

I edited your first post and changed it there.

Like Prophet says, if you can post the list of other mods you have installed.

Also, is it this mod you are using: http://xelerus.de/index.php?s=mod&id=704

If so, the fact that it has the tag "Broken Mods" might be a hint :)

Oh. Sorry. Is there by by chance another mod that does the same thing?and has the same class ship? And i am so sorry about giving you that headache gentlemen, please forgive me.

You're best bet is to pm the mod author (styro) and ask for the mod to be updated/fixed or try to fix it yourself.

Visit the IRC channel to ask for help if you need it.

If i were to try and fix it how would i do it?

Chase · Mon Feb 21, 2011 3:24 pm

Oh and where can i find this styro anyway.

Try to pm him on xelerus. You should be able to go through the list of mods as well and see if there is any other mod that suits your purposes. If it is not on xelerus then it is probably not available
