SE4 Modder error

[Urendi Maleldil]

I'm using the SE4 Modder 1.72, and there is a problem viewing vehicle sizes in some mods.

It will show a list of all the entries (vehicle sizes), but when I click on one of them I get a "Run-time error '380': Invalid property value". I click Okay and it closes the program.

I've compared the vehiclesizes.txt file for all the mods this effects and compared them with other mods that work properly. I can't make out any difference.

The mods this error affects are the:
AST Mod
Adamant Mod
B5 Mod
Star Trek Mod
Rock-Paper-Scissors Mod

There's no error for the:
Stock Data Files
Eclipse Mod
Devnull Mod Gold
Proportions Mod
BOD Mod
Pirates&Nomads Mod
Highliner Mod
StarWars Mod II
Stormcrow Mod

I pasted entries from the affected datafiles into ones that worked, and they worked. I eyeballed them side-by-side, and they're all set up just fine.

I can't figure it out. What's the difference?

Maybe there are too many or too few sizes in the mods affected?

[Urendi Maleldil]

No, I don't think so because the Ultimate Vehicle Sizes mod works fine, and that has a billion entries in it.

Hmm... maybe it is the racial tech requirements of the ships in those mods?

Ooops Sorry I men't to post in your other thread. Of the top of my head I would say it has to do with the picture for the vehicle. I'll have to check it out though. Do those mods have their own Race folder?

Edit: I suspect the vehicle file is fine. I think the program is just getting messed when it tries to find the vehicle pic or perhaps when it tries to load the vehicle pic names into a list.

dg did you ever increase the number pictures the modder can look at.

component picutures are up to the 1200 range and i think the modderonly goes up to 999
