Devnull Mod Gold: updates and discussion

[Dizzy]

It doesnt work otherwise, Rollo. And im not using emp's SJ.

I dont know why it gives me a blacked out system screen when I use the Imperial txt files. Only works for me as a playable race when I use the vikings txt from devnulls.

Thats why I need help. When is the new version ready? Mb this one is just fubared.

[Rollo]

The blacked out systems have nothing to do with adding the Imperials as a race. At least I have never seen such a thing.

Much more likely this is due a change you did to the /data files.

As for the new Devnull Mod Gold version? Soon =).

[Dizzy]

Allright, just to clear it up... mb there is a glaring error that I made, but here's the scoop.

I put the devnull folder into the main directory. I changed the pathway txt to devnull171 so the launcher loads devnull171 when started or when using the standard exe. Its gonna load devnull171 regardless.

I dropped the emp's into the devnull empire folder, told that wouldnt work anywya.

I dropped atrocities shipset imperial folder into devnulls picture/races folder.

I dropped the imperial txt names file into devnulls dsgname folder.

When I initially tried atrocities shipset, the emp's ouldnt work. Was told to create a new race using the shipset and then choose the txt names i wanted.

When I started the game, i got a black system screen.

Only when I totally replaced and renamed all the imperial txt files with the devnuklls vikings did i get system info.

After that, I started changing some components around. Not before.

So, what did I do wrong and what is wrong with what I did?

Did you replace the images too, or just text files?

Try opening and saving all of the Imperial text files in wordpad or so.

[Dizzy]

Just the txt files. And my notepad works for editing the txt files just fine. But I didnt do any editing prior to the game not giving me a system screen...

Don't see anything wrong with what you did.

Was this the unmodded DevnullMod171, or something you have modded? As said earlier, adding a race won't cause the systems to be blank. Only changes to the mod itself, IIRC.

I would suggest starting over with the fresh version 1.71 and adding the Imperials then. See how that goes.
