Impressive! Maybe there should be swarms of fighters too?

There is a patch to fix some of the slot configurations in P&N-ism. Buying an Abbidon carrier without the patch will cause a crash.

That's what I meant to say, seriously.

I have a pair of cannons and a pair of lasers. The lasers do quite the excellent job shooting down fighters mind you, but the cannons tend to fall asleep at the wheel.

Unfortunately I've stumbled upon yet another bug. I'm at the mission where I have to take down the Mongol Clan Starbase. Every time I start to do hull damage (punch through the armor on any side), I get an 'Invalid Index' error, along with a fabled Crash to Desktop.

Any ideas? And yes, I've tried the latest patches available here in this post.

Very odd. It might be a wierd component or something...
Could you post a savegame?

(You'll get an error message since that directory is not readable, but you can drag and drop the file into your browser to upload once you clear the message)

get the SF patch, which has just been released.
I got a few invalid index errors in combat during the beta test and the patch fixed that. If the error still remains, send a savegame to Aaron.

You are such a chaotic evil character, Executron

I have here an update for P&N-ism.
Rev B, which fixes even more oddities with slot configurations.
It also should get the AIs to use more crew quarters and lifesupport on big ships (which provide resistance against those nasty toxins

)

Made possible by a new Version of the Slot Modder!
This tool now features arcs painted onto each slot, in addition to the numbers representing the weapon firing point and ship side facing.
Also, a slot lock button, so you can prevent them from accidentally sliding around while you click around altering other slot info.

Get it all from:

Well, I've been tinkering with the files some to create a mod in which you play the heir to a small criminal syndicate. Some of the things that are different: Many spacedocks & ship dealers require bribes, stores have been changed some, starting homesystem is different, crew killing weapons are illegal cargo, and some other stuff too. I wanted to upload it, but I don't know how

I've never tried uploading a mod before, and I can't seem to find how to do it anywhere. Any help is appreciated

SJ, when I try to start the new Version of your slot modder, all I get is a box saying "Unexpected error" and the program closes.

macjimmy, you you familiar with winzip? You need to zip the directory your mod is in, then upload it. I don't think you can do it here right now though..but if the file is under a meg or two, email it to me and I'll put it up for you.

Thanks much

I will do a few more things to it and email it to you when done

Well, I'm certainly not getting that

can you give me any more details to work with?

I've tried updating the posted EXEs using the old application title in case that was causing you trouble.
