Default \"Stream Read Error\" using Design for mod vehicles

I have made a smaller base (250kT) called an Outpost using the Space Station details and making the appropriate changes. The Base shows up fine in the Create Design, but upon selecting the Outpost I get a nasty Windows Error Popup window saying "Stream Read Error". Any ideas? I have checked for double spaced lines and trailing white spaces.

I have never heard of that error message in all my years here...

From googling, "Stream Read Error" sounds like it may be a corrupt filesystem or windows components.
I'd do a scandisk, and see if that turns up anything.

Could also be a sign of a memory stick going bad.

Default Re: \"Stream Read Error\" using Design for mod vehic

I did some digging around and found the following:

This error results when the graphics library used by the Application to load bitmaps is unable to read a particular bitmap. In the case of your new bitmaps, the program used to create them has used a bitmap format that the graphics library used by the Application either thinks is invalid, or does not support.

So now the question, what do the bmp settings need to be (I am using Adobe Photoshop CS)?

Did you see my latest reply to your thread on SE.net ModWorks? Somewhat convoluted of a method, but it works... [img]/threads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

What are the specifics for Outposts? What makes them different from other bases?
