- - BSG problem (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=16060)

First off, I'd like to apologize if this is a repeat...I'm tired...

Ok, the problem: I start up the starfury, start a new game, click the BSG campaign, select my ship, blah blah...hit start or whatever and it has an error, i can't print the entire error because it would likely go over the word limit for this forum. more or less the error says that it can't load anything in the game, ships, components, you name it.

Here's a small sample: Could not find field "Picture Bitmap Index" in record 1.
Could not find field "Placement Locations" in record 1.

Here's another sample from about halfway down: Could not find field "Energy Consump Inc Per Level" in record "Ionic Disperser".
Could not find field "Weapon Beam Duration" in record "Ionic Disperser".

and another from the end: Could not find field "Credit Value Inc Pct Per Level" in record "Cylon Fighter".
Could not find field "Energy Consump Inc Per Level" in record "Cylon Fighter".

EDIT: btw, i've got v1.15

The problem here is the new patch added those data fields that are giving you errors. The mod will have to be updated to include them.

Phoenix is right; the new patch creates havoc with the mod (don't get me wrong, though-- there's a heck of a lot of stuff I like about the new patch. Can't wait to start making my own commodity lists!). However, I'm working on a conVersion and hope to have it up in the next day or so, as well as a patch for folks who already have the mod. So, sit tight-- I'll have it up soon!

If you ever figure out the commodity system, please tell me. Right now all I can figure is it randomly dumps comps marked "Is a commoditity" into the commodity listing and randomly changes the price..no settings for either that I've found.

Ok, I have a patch that should address the problems folks are having with the Battlestar Galactica Mod and the new patch:

Battlestar Galactica Mod Version 1.15 Patch

This also adds sound effects from the show to the game, as well. Please let me know if you have any problems.
Please note that this updates the original BSG mod to work ith Starfury 1.15; if you don't have the mod, you'll have to download it here first. I'll have the full Version updated in the next few days.

I loaded BSG mod and the patch but I keep getting an error with some of the mod files when I try to shuttle over to any planet or station.

Hmm... That's odd. Seems to work for me, and I thought I had included all of the newest files in the patch. Can you be more specific about the problem? What error are you getting (you may have to run the game in windowed mode to get the error listed)?

The error I am getting refers to \main sites Colonial research facility.Section 4 name,type and centre id are missing.Fixed it by copying from colonial industrial centre.

Ahhh.... Thanks, Acepaint. I found the problem-- there were a few odd entries in the Main_Sites.txt file that were screwed up... I could swear I caught those the first go-around, though http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif . Anyway, the patch has been updated, so grab it and reinstall it and all should be well.

Thanks for the help, guys!

No problem,any idea on the range errors yet?I got one when I was picking up the pieces after a battle.

No, I'm still stumped on that, although I don't believe I've encountered one recently. Did your Last one happen on the 1.15 Version of the game?

Yep 1.15,I also got another one after I delivered the people in the 2nd mission when I went after the Cylon freighter.One question how hard is it to create some new misions for your mod or the original game.Can you just add them in the main events and main misions or is it more involved then that?The thought came to me when there where no new missions after I found enough fighters.I did find the next mission once I went back to sector command instead of looking at the planets.

After you deliver the diplomats to Carillon, you need to speak to your contact on Carillon to get the next mission, which is delivering the Tyllium to the Refining station. I'll try to make that more obvious in future revisions, but I thought that shows up in the mission log.

No you misunderstood it was right after I found enough fighters that I couldn't find the next mission.That was because after 4-5 tries to get the mod to work I didn't bother reading the mission again so I missed where I was supposed to go afterwards.

Oh, I see. If you have enough fighters, return back to Sector Command in Caprica to get your next mission.

Heh, I have a different problem, i can't get it to load at all...

I go to start the campaign and it gets 90% done generating maps and throws some kind of error... I can't see the error window however, so I can't tell you what kind http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Run Starfury in windowed mode then try it. That'll most likely let you see the error.

What Version of SF are you running, Paladin? If you're running 1.15, did you grab the BSG 1.15 patch, too?

Lousy double post...

Yeah, I'm running 1.15 and I applied the patch zip to the mod, so I don't know what's wrong. I'll try the windowed mode thing when I get back from going out to eat.

Nevermind... I ran it in windowed mode and read the error message and it was choking on every single file, so I went and looked at the mod folder more carefully and realized that WinRAR had unpacked the zip into a subfolder. Bad WinRAR, bad.
