New To Using Mods, Having Trouble
« on: May 22, 2017, 01:32:55 AM »

Aloha All!

So I played until level 10 in the vanilla game but I felt like I wasn't really getting anywhere (just making money by smuggling and slowly building a fleet, but not much combat). Anyway, I decided to try and install some mods to liven things up but I can't seem to get (most) of them to work. They all fall into one of three categories: game quits on startup with a JSON error with it enabled, game quits on startup with a hull variant missing error, or game loads successfully with it enabled. I tried searching but I'm still confused about what's wrong. Only thing I can think of is that the non-working ones haven't been updated to work with the newest version of SS. Am I missing something? Please let me know what you guys think.

Also, an unrelated question: since SS+ will no longer be updated, should I not use it? I got the impression from the modder's post that his other mods should cover it. Is this correct? Assuming it is, I have all those mods, yes?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SS version = 0.8a-RC19

"Fatal: Ship hull varient [condor_FS] not found!"
Dynasector 1.1.0
Nexerelin 0.7.7b

"Fatal: JSONObject["role desc"] not found."
Blackrock Driveyards 0.8.6
Ship/weapon Pack 1.1.5
Underworld 1.0.5

Working
$tarsector+ 3.7.0 (but not planning on using it since it will no longer be updated)
LazyLib 2.2
Version CHecker 1.7c
ZZ GraphicsLib 1.1.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you!!!!

The thing is that those mods you are using aren't updated for 0.8.  Check the mod index to see which mod has been updated for the latest version of the game.

Yeah... All the mods that are giving you problems there are for the previous version of Starsector and are incompatible.
