Hey, Trashman, getting some issues trying to run VNS 5.5 with Ironclads 8.4.1.
I had VNS V5 and Ironclads 8.4 running just fine a week or two ago, went without internet for a bit, then downloaded the most recent updates for both Ironclads and VNS when I saw progress had been made for both. Fault as indicated by the pop-up:
Fatal: Unterminated string at 4234 [character 0 line 160]
As a test, I attempted to run just Ironclads 8.4.1 (i.e. ran SS with just vanilla Ironclads 8.4.1, VNS 5.5 NOT dragged-and-dropped into the directory) and it works fine, so somewhere along the line VNS 5.5 is producing an issue for me.
EDIT: Now with intense starsector.log action!

EDIT: Annnnnd found it. Props to Deathfly, I see now that he already found this error. In defense of my own skills of deduction, I figured it out BEFORE I saw his post, though. :p
Deleted string, loading, and...
Except now there's a new error. Missing a Beam Glow graphic, if I understand this correctly.
