Crashing after mod updates
« on: August 08, 2020, 12:32:36 PM »

I just updated several of my mods in preparation of getting back into Starsector, and now the game is returning an error that states:

Fatal: Fatal: ships_systems.csv is missing systems
Check starsector.log for more info.

I have the Starsector.log file up on my GoogleDrive here:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gBUxeA0KjA3F-LuccwlgAUP8R-C0TJP1/view?usp=sharing

If any more info is needed for someone to help me figure out how to get this sorted, please, just let me know.

Google disc said: access denied to me.

I know this would happen one day: even google denied to me... :'(

Are all of your mods updated to the latest version of SS?

MondayMonkey try it now.  I switched it so anyone with the link can get the file.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gBUxeA0KjA3F-LuccwlgAUP8R-C0TJP1/view?usp=sharing

Not necessarily. You need to be sure each mod says it works with this version of SS. Well behaved mods will do this in the thread title.

According to the Mod list, the only ones I had on that were not 0.9.1a were 0.9a.  I turned those OFF so only the 0.9.1a mods were on and it's still giving me the same error.

Turning off Diable Avionics changed the error message to:

Fatal: Ship hull spec [SRD_Celika_P] not found!
Check starsector.log for more info.

But it still crashed.

Turning ALL mods off does allow the game to start normally.  Now I am going to turn them on, one at a time, and see which one or ones cause the crash to happen....

Wait, so you're trying to load an old save?  Or is this a brand new game with your current up to date, works with this version of SS mods?

I'm not even getting to the point of loading a game or choosing a new game.  The problem occurs while loading into the game itself from the launcher.

Do a clean install (delete old folder before copying new one) of Sylphon RnD.

That did, indeed fix the problem I was having with Sylphon!  I am going to try this with Tahlon and Diable and see if it fixes those, as well...

Histidine, I have no idea who you are, but I could kiss you.  It worked.  All mods are once again playing nice and the game will load fine.  Lesson learned!  Don't get lazy when updating your mods.  Delete the old folders and do a fresh install each time.  No more overwrites for me!!
