That's an issue with the meshs or textures folders probably a patch that hasnt been applied correctly, i'd suggest downloading the whole 0.6 download and trying it again, or re-applying the 0.6 patch again (remember to delete the mesh folder).

From the screenshots you've posted it looks like your window folder is messed up, I just downloaded the 0.6 full download and tried it, and I had no errors what so ever. I'll shorten the title now, I was wondering what that bug was because it really is quite annoying.

As Mooster mentioned if you edit the maxshipslots(phase/psi/tech).entity file you can increase/decrease this (or just use those files from Dolynick's mod) the reason you cant open the files normally is because the files are converted in to Binary before release to optimize the loading speed of the mod.

As far as I know the mod folder name shouldnt cause any issues if you change it, i'll check it for you shortly and let you know asap.

Just so you all know 0.7 is coming along nicely the patch should be ready over the next day or so however I can't guarantee a release date just yet as we're still testing to make sure there's no more issues.

Take your time. I'm actually looking forward to finishing a game before plugging in the next patch.

is it normal to have a lot of minidump/crashes using mods. I get a crash every single time i use this mod. Seems to be random crashes no matter what im doing. I just installed sins/entrenchment patched it up and then threw in the 0.6 mod.

ill check to see if im doing something silly but i thont think i am.

I have a question, why delete the mesh files from the 0.5 in 0.6?

If you're running the game on "Highest" graphics settings you may want to try lowering them to medium or high (try high if it still crashes try medium) this is due to a memory issue with the game sadly there isnt much I can do about it. If you arent then id suggest reinstalling the mod however it sounds like it should be running fine for you. I have personally played quite a few 7-8hr games with the 0.6 version of the mod and havent had a single minidump though so id like to know whats causing your issues.

Mooster the deletion was due to some of the mesh files causing the graphics textures/ships misalignments/wrong colouring & texturing etc so I streamlined the folder removing any files causing issues & making sure all the files that were 100% neccesary werent broken in anyway.
If you dont delete the folder certain structures/units would still be "bugged" graphically, and your checksum may have caused issues with other players.

I have played alot of different mods in this game over the last few months. and after putting most of them through the paces i finally loaded this mod up last night. i must say that hands down this is the best mod for sins by far. its not too intrusive so that it changes the game too much like many others. the additional music is frakking splendid. pirates showing up with a pirated capital ship made me fall off my chair. the research modifications are nicelly balanced instead of just adding different research for the sake of different research. and most of all there are no half baked races included in the game!! i hate mods with new races where the ships look like they were paper cutouts, the best part of sins for me was the details in the ships so adding more mediocre races lowers the quality a ton. also the new themes you can choose for your profile were a pleasant suprise. i also think the AI has been tweaked but i cant be sure until i play a few more games. And finally it includes the best of the 'mini-mods' like bailknights, volumetric, sins plus, gorkuz sounds to name a few.

thanks for the mod

Ok it just crashed right after pirates launched on the "severe" setting/mode whatever its called. Ill lower the gfx settings and see if that helps.

With this next patch. No 2 galaxies will ever be the same! SO many planets!

So the celestial bodies idea was a hit! Hooah!

Meanwhile, I have a problem. I'm playing on medium graphics at highest and have not had a mini-dump in the longest time (map size aside). But now I have had a mini-dump. GASP! Now, I didn't think about it, but I think my pirates were about to get to "severe", just like Voidester up there. I dunno if maybe it has a connection. Might check it later to be sure.

Ever since i dl the full package for v.06, it has been doing nothing but crashing when i try to load a custom built map.

You're welcome, thanks for the kind words & I hope I can only improve it in the long run!

Very interesting, the pirates files havent changed in the slightest since their original conception apart from to add their "Looting" abilities which is a one line change, so there shouldnt be any issues with them.
It's possible I wont deny however unlikely. I'll look in to it, some others seem to be having issues with the 0.6 patch despite myself not having any issues.

There may be a connection, i'll definetely look in to it, hope there isnt any connection. However I do plan on releasing the next patch at the beggining of next week now (I want to add more features before the release). The Celestial Bodies merge is the entire patch on top of some other minor changes to the black holes damage (a slight buff) and alot more planetary abilities.

Are these player made maps, or just the randomely generated maps? There shouldnt be any issues however if you can give me a link to the map, or let me know which map it is I will check & make the mod 100% compatible with it.

These minidump reports are somewhat concerning, I havent been able to replicate them myself, however I will endeavour to find them and quash them asap. Remember it is a beta, although normally crash free it would appear the last patch has some issues in it I havent found out. Any saves, and detailed reports you can provide will really help in the finding of these bugs.

ack double post! >.<

just wanted to say i think lowering the gfx to "high" seems to help a lot. At least my framrate was higher (8 player map with 60 or so planets). Just finished a game..well ok i was wiped out, but it didnt crash once even with pirates going crazy. Ill keep ya posted if i experience anymore.

I really enjoy this mod, hope you continue to work on it. I think next round ill have the ai all against me, just because i like to die a lot (apparently..bah)

First want to say that this mod is awesome. I love the fact that your tech level can change a battle. But I've got a problem. When I load a custom designed map playing as TEC the game loads the map, but when I try to run as Advent or Vasari, it gets about 90%, the I get a minidump error. Any help?

Nacey, the work you've done with this mod is amazing.  I love it to death.

That being said, I have to ask like others have done that you please do something about the black market and the resources in general.  I just finished a game where I was getting 1000 credits a sec (800 for the 75 upkeep) and only 12 and 15 crystal and metal (again after the 75 upkeep and with all the upgrades.  I would spend 100,000 credits just to be able to buy enough crystal and metal to upgrade my units.  i think your tech level is right on, those work well with the resources, but I think you should either a.) decrease the black market from the about 400:200 rate it is at right now down to something more reasonble (maybe a 400:300 or 400:350?), or b.) increase the rate of metal and crystal extraction.

Again, you have done a fantastic jobon this mod, and you seem to keep making it better.  Thanks for all your hardwork.
