1.3 patch changes

Hmm, seems running the old convert data on the new reference data is a good way to find out which files has structure changes (though it doesn't cover new modifiers). All of the following failed and thus must have had some sort of change.

PlayerPirate
PlayerPhase
PlayerPsi
PlayerTECH
QuestBombPlanet
QuestKillCapitalShipsHigh
QuestKillCapitalShipsMaintain
QuestKillCivilianModulesHigh
QuestKillCivilianModulesLow
QuestKillTacticalModulesMaintain
QuestKillTacticalModulesMedium

Even better: Before running ConvertData, check the last modified date.

Pact list has been changed, related research files will need alterations.  Cultural relation research modifiers have changed.

Numerous string file additions and alterations, all player files need updated for the quest and pact event changes, as well as relation modifier system changes.  Gameplay.constants needs updated for the new diplomacy system.

I think that is everything, but it's been a long day.

Ah yes. Well technically those include stat changes too, though that's certainly useful information too.

Karma for psycloak and ZombieRus.

New modifier added with 1.31

WeaponTargetsPerBankAdjustmentCapitalShipsOrStarbases

- replaced the two individual modifiers

Does that mean the capitalship only modifier no longer works?

Also I'm getting a bunch of errors with Sins files I haven't modded. I seem to remember the last time this happened it was due to some stupid error in a random file, but I don't remember what is was. Also mentioned something about "numReceiverConstraints exceeds the maximum allowed".

I'll do a quick test later and see...

Not sure on this one. I take it this is showing when you run the debugger?

Yes, it still works.

Yeah. I've seen them all but that warning before. The full thing was "numReceiverConstraints exceeds the maximum allowed. 15 requested but only 8 allowed. If a larger number is needed bug a programmer!". I know this is normally what occurs when you exceed a hardcoded limit, but I didn't get it before the patch at all.

Other warnings I've all seen before, and I remember fixing some random seemingly unrelated file fixed it, but here they are.

"numChars < bufferSize"

"Failed to Read File '.\GameInfo\QuestKillTacticalModulesLow.entity'. desired read bytes = 6357076, actual read bytes = 83."

I haven't modded any Quest files, and the file in question certainly isn't 6MB anyways. My mod doesn't include a gameplay.constants file so the only thing I could think of that was changed were the player.entity files, but I did a line by line comparison with the new files and double checked everything you listed had changed were corrected.

 Edit: Thanks for testing that modifier.

In the mods I work on, I was getting all of those errors until I fixed my entity manifest.  Since then, no errors.

entityName "QuestKillTacticalModulesLow.entity"
entityName "RESEARCHSUBJECT_PACTBONUS_METAL.entity"
entityName "RESEARCHSUBJECT_PACTBONUS_MISSILE.entity"
entityName "RESEARCHSUBJECT_PACTBONUS_SHIPSTRUCTUREMAX.entity"
entityName "RESEARCHSUBJECT_PACTBONUS_SHIPSTRUCTUREREGEN.entity"
entityName "RESEARCHSUBJECT_PACTBONUS_STRIKECRAFT.entity"
entityName "RESEARCHSUBJECT_PACTUNLOCK_METAL.entity"
entityName "RESEARCHSUBJECT_PACTUNLOCK_MISSILE.entity"
entityName "RESEARCHSUBJECT_PACTUNLOCK_SHIPSTRUCTUREMAX.entity"
entityName "RESEARCHSUBJECT_PACTUNLOCK_SHIPSTRUCTUREREGEN.entity"
entityName "RESEARCHSUBJECT_PACTUNLOCK_STRIKECRAFT.entity"

Those lines all need to be removed.

Has anyone looked to see what texture sheets where added or changed?

Hmm, I was using Harpo's manifest maker which had no problems up until now, but thanks I'll take a look.

I know the Buttons_Research2_... files were changed, as they added some new icons for the new abilities/research. The Buttons_Screens2_... files were also changed on the same day, and since no other files were changed in 2011 I think that's it.

Nice.

I had originally included that line as well but edited it out because I still have it in both of my mods and it's working without issues.  But like always, time will tell.

By the way, is anyone else having trouble getting the Convertdata_Diplomacy to convert .brushes files to text?

Edit: Nevermind, might fault, forgot to get my batch file out of entity mode.
