first thanks to Gotcha for great Hiigaran Descentants mod,
i made merge from my compatibility fixes of Hiigaran Descendants v2.0.4/v5 (v3/v4/)
as i had it in collection for modded 0.91
and 2.1.0 from bombasticmori (hence msg goes to him too, thanks again for it)
which i had for 0.95a and 0.95.1a
i cleaned it up, combined what i had done , fixes, tweaks, minor changes or small additions
noticed i had in my data some bomber, Reconditioned Vaygr Destroyer, so i made sure it works too
i tracked that RVD back to Hiigaran's Resurgence (from Draco, hence msg also going to him, thanks)
i know it ain't perfect but i mainly started it to remove crashes and errors
to be able play them together in version 0.95.1a
as i tried move my play-thru mod package from era from 0.8x/0.91/0.95a

i hope others can enjoy this great mod just like i do
thanks for your time to answer
Hey, just so you know, blueprints are broken. They are not working for example for weapons making it impossible to build up the hiigaran fleet
Small edit, the rare ship blueprints is easy to fix, the name in the tags on the csv file is different from the special_items.csv inside the campaign file, easiest fix is going into campaign folder, open special_items.csv, and changing for the rare blueprints which is row 7, from hii_rare_ship_bp to hii_ship_rare_bp , this would fix the blueprint package for rare ships. Weapons one is still evading me, I tried changing the params column on special_items.csv into a different one for the weapons packages, then change it to match on the tags on the csv, and so on and nothing. I will try a bit more and hopefully upload a fix here for both CSV.
I fixed the blueprints, rare ship plus weapons and such, it was a simple issue of a capital letter in the first letter of a column on the weapon.csv file, it should have been tags instead of Tags. However, Since I did a bunch of other changes to fix the other blueprints issue I found besides the weapons one I am reuploading here the mod folder with the changes I did, if its not ok to reupload that fix by Dwarden , let me know. Only change I did was the special_items.csv , hulls.csv and weapons.csv to match up so blueprints packages populate and work.
