Map failing to load and crashing when loading up custom ship set. Any help?

from GalCiv3 Forums

Hi,

 

I have followed a few tutorials and set up a custom faction with a custom ship set. However, this crashes the game in the galaxy building screen. I've been quite thorough with the xml files, so I can post up the text if need be.

 

The only two things I can think of are:

 

1. Two of my templates I renamed in the design folder. Didn't touch the unique code that is affixed to custom ships, but removed underscores between nouns. This is the first thing I will test as it seems the most likely issue.

 

2. Saved the designs as my custom faction, but I am unsure. My custom faction draws its base parts from the Drengin ship set, so how would resaving them as Drengin make any difference when they're both derived from the same base ship-set style?

 

Has anyone else had a similar problem? Any tips? Tricks? Insight? 

 

First time modding anything, so any help appreciated!

Check the debug file, it should point you to what was failing to load up. You can open it in notepad.

Thank you for the reply.

 

For anyone interested in this info, the issue was the first one I hypothesized above. Even a simple change to the ship text, even leaving alone the unique code supplied to every custom designed ship, will break your efforts to mod a custom set.

 

This is a really, really fiddly process to learn if you're new to this!
