quite frankly, none of these errors make sense or should force a crash.

Looks to me like some of the tech-tree preqs have been messed up... as soon as the AIs hit any of these missing spots. It took me awhile to ditch out a simple tech within CoSH since that specific item belonged to one Minor only and there was no direct way for me to detect it in normal gameplay mode.

A series of "AbilityTag" warnings shouldn't show up there either.

Furthermore, in this particular section you seem to have given Chemistry as preq for many techs while "snooping" off the usual or expected linear process. In that case, UNLESS the group tags belong in the same category, the code triggers an illegal match warning and loops out of the auto-assign routines necessary to correctly place the entire modified tree framework in a form recognizable 'as a whole' like it must;

i fixed all of those minor problems and some others, but to no avail. It still crashes. The latest development in the "case" is that it works when i use one of the default races that hasn't yet been replaced. It only crashes when using my races.

Ahhhh, but that leads to a clear deduction, don't you think?

Assignment of a tree to a modded Race and then, the list of pre-known techs that these have recorded into the RC file when initialization distributes the 'new' startup conditions for research paths. It took me awhile to realize that techs such as 'History of..." were special cases and that if a mod race were to skip any of the default structure - some preqs or 'impossible tech' tags HAD to be inserted in the files to let the combo-parsing routine do its job; which is to pick the valid tree framework (for that Race) from a two step scan as usual - 1) general GC2tree and  2) The individual Race tree.

Check for other typos too, (Ex -- Debug Message:  Cannot find tech requirement ArtaficialGravity for tech Stellar Engineering) ya never know, maybe you did typed that particular one as Artificial in other places - or proceed by revert elimination to detect which single race config section has a flaw if any.

 

Example; If "Space Orbs" is typed as is in the main tree and ONE Race has it such as "SpaceOrbs"... that is all it takes for the entire init process to fail.

Oh, btw... Did you also delete the C:\Docs\... emergency backup saves of your Race(s) files?

Cuz, these DO contain conflicting values as soon as we change the RC.xml content and try to re-load a new game with the altered values.

like i said, those problems were taken care of. It just has to be the tree anyway because any race that uses it (custom or stock) causes a game crash when used by the player (it works for the AI oddly)

I found the bug using the "divide and conquer" method. It had to do with tech requirements in the soon to be dismantled weapons branch...My Lord! that tech tree's going to be huge!! (requiring a reworking of the tech screen) At this point, it's around the same size as a stock tree...only half it's half written at this point...the rest...or at least the rest of what's already been thought up!

 

Have a good weekend!

Sounds familiar, when i first tried to insert "Ground tactics" between Space Weapons and BeamWeaponsTheory for the crazy_complex_weirdo X-Com stuff, that mod also kept crashing on me; weeks later i'm now up to five task conditions from the earlier three that now prevents anyone even more from reaching Tech_Victory too fast for my obsessive taste of challenging gameplay situations; DoomsdayAsteroid & TectonicInferno... both of which needed the proper preqs and the extra concentration in typing the right text and values as usual! :|

Ahhh, the joy of mistakes and the satisfaction of finding out we're soooo imperfect that it's soooooo worth all these troubles.

PS; i work in week-ends... but i'll take it for next Monday at 8:15AM when i'm off to better things in life - such as Modding!
