its giving me a clickable button on the star and saying "sting not found" i cut and pasted right from this post

obviously i changed the name and desc to "hyperspace disruption" because i do not have a cease fire one. but that shouldn't matter

 

this is the first error log:

Text FileArchive missing Label.

EviliroN, are you using 1.11?  Because if you are, then "isPassive" needs to be changed to "ResourceCostType".  And instead of TRUE, it should say PASSIVE.

Oh wait.  I haven't really looked at the 1.1 files yet, so try what it said.  Namely, "useCostType".  And I just looked, and that is the line they use.  So try "useCostType" this time.  It should still say PASSIVE after it though.

AND instead of returning this error at game load:

Text FileArchive missing Label.

File: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods\v1.11 Evilmod\GameInfo\AbilitySolarPhaseInhibition.entity
Label: useCostType
Line Number:36
Line Contents:isPassive TRUE

 

IT gives me this error again:

Entity 'STAR_BLUE' can only support passive abilities and ability:1 'AbilitySolarPhaseInhibition' is not passive

 

WHICH means that it is now half fixed...right?

It's a direction at least.

thanks guys let's keep running

It should say Passive instead of Invalid as the entry for "useCostType".  I did mention that before.

Passive has an "e" at the end.  So its "Passive" not "Passiv".

I know the problem.  Stars can only have one ability.  Its a hardcode.  You need to add the buffs to the star's Solar Radiation ability, and change the strings around so solar radiation isn't slowing down your phase jumps.

 

Don't worry, planets can have four abilities.

Sounds like a good solution. Hopefully this turns out!

Before I try this it should be noted that the planets that I place this in also are unable to initialize the game also.

such as:

Entity 'wormhole' can only support passive abilities and ability:1 'AbilitySolarPhaseInhibition' is not passive

 

So imho if the planets can have 4 abilities it doesn't seem like changing the code into the sun's would do me any good since it still hasn't fixed the problem for the planets.

 

Maybe I should give up?
