Hi, I just downloaded this mod and its great, I think I may switch to it entirely over vanilla.

When I'm looking for a generic game of Weird Worlds to play, this mod is always it. I never play Vanilla anymore. This mod is also my #1 choice for a "standard" game. Would love to see this one developed even more!

haha. Thanks. Well if I can get the bugs worked out, I'll have a new patch soon. Maybe with two mainquests, but certainly with one. And I should have a few other nice surprises in there as well. Okay, some may not be so nice

I'm by no means an expert on this game, but I noticed something odd with the .ini files of the things that were having problems.

Specifically, some lines seem to be missing carriage return / linefeeds. You'll see this if you bring it up in Windows notepad.

Example from corruptedX.ini:
CONDITION 1TYPE fleetleavePAR0 -1END CONDITIONCONDITION 2TYPE fleetarrivePAR0 -1END CONDITION

Instead of:
CONDITION 1
TYPE fleetleave
PAR0 -1
END CONDITION

CONDITION 2
TYPE fleetarrive
PAR0 -1
END CONDITION

There is something similar going on in various places of game.ini, like the hulls:
gar_sprcgar_frg
zor_frtzor_sta
cam_clmcam_art
crp_mgcdol_desdol_crvodd_mnssph_crvsph_desone_crv1 one_crv2

I don't know if this is the root cause of any of your problems or not, but I saw the possibility that the game may be reading the line incorrectly like Windows notepad does, when it expects a carriage return/linefeed combo, and does not see it.

Is this of any value?

Wow, if this is causing problems then I'm screwed! But I have yet to have a major problem with the game.ini file. I may recruit your help if I have another quest that inexplicably just won't act logically, to look for peculiarities like this.

Thanks!
