Yes, you made a mistake and its causing you to crash

I take it you know that the thrusters DO work firstly - have you tried to buy one yet?? See if that works first - as it could be a mistake with the thruster itself

Second - IS it referenced in the files for loot properly? If you have misspelled the nickname (common error) then when it tries to drop this non existant thing - the game has a fit and crashes.

So the answer is - you have made a mistake. Go over it with a VERY fine tooth comb!

Umm.... Lets se here... I meant tractor beams... Not thrusters. (Wow. That was dumb huh? ) Still the same thing? Go back? Agian? I've been back about 20 times now... Well, one more time cant hurt I guess.

EDIT: No dice. Here are my entries

LootProps:

Newbie questions - or the thread about armor upgrades that someone asked about 2 weeks ago. you DO have to put SOME effort into modding - like finding things instead of expecting people to write how to do it for the 10th time AGAIN!

Sorry. I'll look today. (Maybe you know the tittle? Might help some... )

Ok, so I can buy my 'armor upgrade' now... But how do I tell what the multiplyer is? like, 1.5 times the original hull = what in the ini files?

EDIT: Oh and what is a way to find out wich IDS names/info's are free, and wich are used?

No offense - its a bloomin giveaway!!!

[Armor
nickname = armor_scale_3
hit_pts_scale = 1.601613

= 1.6 times original hull strength

1.29 = 1.29 times the original hull strength

22222 = 22222 times the original hull strength...you get the idea....i hope

I made a post some time back about available dll numbers - think its in newbie questions. Think for infocards.dll its around 66616 or something. However, ANY dll with space will do for anything really. Doesn't matter which one you use, as long as the number is right . Or - add your own - makes mods smaller cause they won't include a 1meg dll file, but a mere 20Kb dll file of your own.

Ok, So.. .I got it all to work. Exept one thing.. I just noteced this... All the commodities are gone!!! All the bases are empty, and I set one to drop when you kill a ship, so I killed a ship, and tractored it in... I look at my info, and my cargo hold shows up as full right? Well, I go to the commodities section and theres nothing there!!! What could I have possibly done???

EDIT: I've replaced all the files I edited, and all the commodities are still gone! The manhatten commodity trader is emty! (I guess that means a reinstall.... There goes all my work. For the third time!!! I'm really getting sick of wasting my life away at this, only to come out right where I started from.
