Mod broken

Here it is. Savegame's included. Not sure how it's 5.9 mb. I used maximum compression, and I deleted almost as many components as I added (let's face it, some of them are just dumb). Oh well, happy hunting, and thanks.

Any luck yet?

Checking a little now.

Right off:
-your Romulan_mini_frigate is *far* too big. It's over a meg in size, and way above the resolution SE4 uses. THAT could be the problem right there. FYI, most of the extra area is white space..

EDIT: loaded it up, and I can't SEE anything..

EDIT 2: OK, never mind. You added a racial trait. Incidently, this means all those .emps in your zip file are utterly and completely useless.

EDIT 3: Hmm. Played it up to turn 100. Other than it being a little slow, and no colonies, didn't see any problems.

Hmm, I'll just delete the romulan folder, then. I think I just copied it from either Devnullcus mod or Zippy mod or something. Not sure why the AI wouldn't build colonies, though. Thanks for the help.

I have not seen any problems either. Only went about 20 turns.

Is this saved game the turn before the problem occured ???

Your mod freezes up during an AI turn, and setting the player to human for one turn dosen't help at all.

What you should try is this: Set the player to human, and before the turn ends, deactivate one minister.
If the game still freezes, try again with a different minister, until you find which one it is.
(Try ship design minister first)

When you have it down to the minister, then take a look at what it is probably doing on the turn that freezes.

EG. In P&N, one AI would freeze once tech got fairly high.
Setting it to human didn't help.
Disabling the Design minister allowed the game to continue.

So, I looked at the designs.
And, there sat a Baseship with over 42 JP engines. Upgrading the design to use the new quantums caused an RCE. Thus, I had to tweak the AI design creation files, so that the AIs built legal ships.

Ahhh, that must be the problem right there. I just copied and pasted the engine part from your mod (hope you don't mind, I would have asked but I never intended to post the mod). So if you had the problem, than the cause of mine must be exactly the same. How did you permanently fix the problem? I haven't had P&N freeze, so there must be a solution, right?
