Note on using Save Transfer (and other console commands)
You may want to use the ResetRelationships command to start with fresh faction relationships (particularly if some factions died in the last run).

The SetMarketOwner <market_or_location_name> <faction> command can be used to give a market to another faction (including one not currently alive in the sector).

Re: [0.65.2a] Nexerelin v0.2 (release 2015-03-07)
« Reply #1 on: March 07, 2015, 02:53:31 AM »

Nice to see (N)exerelin back, good work Histidine. I'll have to release a Scy update to make it compatible, but in the meantime here's an updated faction file: the current one is lacking a lot of new stuff.

Since it didn't worked in Exerelin, would it be possible to use ships instead of wings to mine too? I made a mining destroyer that beg to be put to good use, and should be more efficient than a wing since it's quite bigger. I already commented out the corresponding entry for when it become possible (unless you already changed that in this case thank you).

Well, gotta get back working on that update then.

Hmm, that's odd.

What OS? I'm wondering if the Linux/Mac installers don't have the (unused in vanilla, AFAIK) urban graphics included.
Vanilla folder graphics\illustrations should contain files urban_0[1-3].jpg, with the corresponding entries in settings.json->illustrations:
Code
"urban00":"graphics/illustrations/urban00.jpg",
"urban01":"graphics/illustrations/urban01.jpg",
"urban02":"graphics/illustrations/urban02.jpg",
"urban03":"graphics/illustrations/urban03.jpg",

But I want to push another bugfix soon anyway, so I'll probably just take them out for the time being.
To do this locally: comment out lines 150-153 in data/scripts/world/ExerelinSectorGen.java

would it be possible to use ships instead of wings to mine too?
I don't actually have any plans to implement mining for now, but if I do I'll keep that in mind!

Actually nevermind. I'm just a braindead idiot that forgot to update his game to RC2. God i feel so bad...

Anyway, congrats on updating (N)Exerelin to 0.65.2, i'm sure a lot of people will be happy to see this mod working again.

Thank you I appreciate this.
Also this should be moved to the mods thread instead of hiding in the modding area.
After adding all the mods you mentioned, and after making a character, when it is starting the game by "creating trade fleets", it crashes, saying something like
: out of bounds:10.

UPDATE:
after reinstalling SS and all mods it worked. Thanks.
another update
After doing the above and starting with a crystantite ship, picked a fight with a one-ship fleet of "neutral" faction, defeated it, took more cargo than could carry, GAME CRASHED:

Download

- Agents, prisoners, saboteurs less common
- Reduce reserve damage from saboteur action
- Lower chances of detection from destroying food
- NPC covert action interval increased 30 days -> 45

'cos it crashes (on account of not keeping Exerelin compatibility in mind during the recent updates)
Don't worry, it'll be updated in time.

Starting templar ship really needs to be the _sal variant.  The current one is the support one, making it nigh impossible to fight properly.

Histidine, since you are updating this very often (appreciated!) I might suggest utilizing Version Checker here :)

Hum, Scy will need an update on my end to be compatible, since I removed the "Exerelin" check. But at least it should work as soon as I release something.
