PH mod don't work

[Fatboy]

With my test ship the game crashes when I try to start the game! It goes into the menu and lets me choose my adventure extension, but when I choose the ship the game crashes!
First of all I'll post the code for the playership startingPos.

Code: Select all

startingSystem=		"PH"
			startingPos=		"Inbound"

And I'll post the mod on xelerus for debugging purposes only
Here's the link: http://www.xelerus.de/index.php?s=mod&id=180

EDIT: I fixed part of the problem, (still doesn't work though)

Why didn't you put this mod in an adventure extension? You have half the mod in a module! This requires an unpacked version of transcendence.

You made changes to transcendence.xml AND you made a portion in an adventure extension... why?

If I am going to even start looking at the bugs, I would need to know a bit about all the changes you made to the transcendence file.

You might want to try working on smaller pieces at a time and debug as you go along. Large projects can get out of control quickly if you do a bunch of work without testing it and then move on to other portions before debugging.

Try rebuilding it in an adventure extension in sections. Get the topology and systems working, then try adding content. Use small step strategy to build massive mods.

Thanks for the advice.

Okay, this time it has something to do with a duplicate UNID and everything that is included in the mod is in 1 place.

I'll upload it to xelerus.

Code: Select all

	<!ENTITY svIocrym		"0xDFA21001">
	<!ENTITY svPicx		"0xDFA21002">
	<!ENTITY svWir		"0xDFA21003">

I just altered the UNID of the extension as shown above and it loaded fine.

Just a thought- I use the conventions that George uses for the various UNID types and never encounter any problems with my UNID...
