Custom Modification

Don't know what to do now...

from Stardock Forums

Look, I finally got it so everything flowed real nice.  I had it the way I wanted it and it worked really good, except for the sudden crashes.  I saw the update, backed up my mod, then updated.  I updated only because the cause of my crash was addressed in the up date.  Now what I worked so hard on for my personal enjoyment durring those rare occations when I have free time to play a game (a day or two every 8 or 9 months when I'm still on call) it is useless unless I go back to the old version and deal with the game engine crashes, or find a new and updated Forge Tools and start over for the last time.  Any suggestions?  Are the updated Forge Tools out yet or am I just blowing wind?  If they're not out yet, when will they be out, or should I just go back the the last version?  Or should I just uninstall the game out of fustration and find a new game?  Any and all suggestions are welcome at this point, since I still have 11 or 12 hours before I am in the field for 8 months again.

the update for entrenchment added a single line in the entity files with shields potential adding a renderShield TRUE for thos files WITH a ShieldMeshName and a renderShield FALSE  for those files that have  ShieldMeshName "", and the rendershield is the line AFTER the ShieldMeshName

I did not find any entity changes from 1.16 to 1.17

I am writing a mod entity file updater at the moment it  is in beta with debugging and minor feature adds happening

Thankyou harpo.  So, I only have to add the line to ships (frigates and capitalships) and not the modified researchsubjects or modified stars?  I still have a few hours to try it out, hopefully I get a chance to play a little in the field.

the only entitys that I found with the line were starbases,planets,planet modules, frigates,and capital ships.

this should help

Again Harpo, Thank You.  I won't have time to 'update' my mod until August (unless I become extremly lucky and issues resolve themselves) so I'll let you know then.  Maybe new forge tools will be out by then and I can add the other modifications I want then.
