BTW Karma is ALWAYS well appreicated Now it'll give you every single error so you can easily rectify it (and by easy I mean he tells you the file AND the line that is wrong...all you need to do is switch it LONG LIVE DEVELLOPER.EXE)

Thank you very much.  Karma given as you certainly deserve it.

Thanks a lot!

Hope the modification will help you progress as quickly as possible on the modding path :)

Not really so far...  It continues to crash in one game within a few minutes of loading from the saved game.  Everytime the last few lines in the log.txt are the same - the first part of the name of a custom planetmodule.  The thing is, I don't think that that is what is causing the crash.  I've looked over all the custom planetmodules starting with that text portion, spawned them in dev mode, killed them, etc and none of it will reproduce the crash.  I'm a bit baffled.

To further confuse things, I started up a second test game and after 3.5 hours I have still yet to minidump despite using the exact same mod files.

Scratching my head a bit on this one.

Most of the time when you change an ability in game..developer will automatically minidump!!!

Its actually a good sign saying it got the message of the new ability and will reload it when you reboot..well thats how I see an ingame minidump as (works like a charm so far ;))
