The Patch!

[Xaren Hypr]

Turns out my backed up Path.txt file was no longer valid, but when I put "Mods\" in front of the existing directory pointer, it worked. Now all I have to do is locate why my WP's graphics are garbled (and why the game crashes with a violation error when I click on one).

Code:

---

Access violation at address 00489D92 in module 'se4.exe'.  Read of address 00000004

---

But at least the mod is now working, so I'll prolly just rebuild some maps and start another game. Thanks for the info/assist

You need to reinstall Image Mod. Deluxe probably overwrites the mini files (like Planets.bmp). Probably no need to make new maps.

It shouldn't crash though...
It should just come up with an error about files not found, and leave the space blank

Deluxe did not overwrite my Components.bmp... haven't checked the other minis...

[Fyron]

Missing Planets.bmp minis causes the weird sector object image screwups and access violations upon selection that he is experiencing. Not all access violations lead to a crash.

Well, I decided to start a new game using the original map. i got the same error upon entering the game (wrong images for warp points and some other objects, and the access violation error when clicking that sector). I then created a fresh map (using the same mod setup), and the game is playing just fine.

As for the minis, I had updated my planet/combat/facility/event/component imagepacks immediately after installing the patch (and also updating the settings.txt file in the mod folder with the music changes).

I just installed the patch last night and it did not overwright the comps, planets, facilities, or weapon pics. I think FQM 2.10 broke save games and maps, did you update that recently?

[Xaren Hypr]

That was the mod that the maps were originally built with. Like I said, not a huge issue, and I'm starting a new game anyways
