Bal Mod 1.11 Problem

Did it occur after a system restart?

You can also try deleting the soundeffects.txt file in the Balance Mod data folder.

Are you using any custom shipsets? Does it occur during a certain player's turn?

Then I'd have to say it's a probably a problem with player 5's files.

It's an error related with directx, either graphics or sound. In this case, I'd have to assume it's one of the model (.x) files. You can try deleting them (all, or one by one) to see if it's a specific file. The set will use default models in place of the deleted files.

I'm using bal mod v1.11 (SE v 1.58)and started an new game (quick start i chose to be Terran). After a few turns, a diplomacy message tells me that Terran is offering an alliance. I also see Terran in my list of enemy empires. Bug or what?

Thanks, Giorgio

It's possible that there are two Terran empires in your game. There's a bug where some empires are being chosen more than once during game setup.

OK, thank you. I'm guessing that this bug occurs only in 'quick games' and can be avoided if i set the empires manually, right?

BTW, i'm liking your mod. Thank you.

about the bug where the same empire is chosen twice, is there a workaround for that?

The only workaround is to check if you have duplicate empires or not when you start. It can occur in any game with auto generated opponents.

You can manually add empires, but they'll be stuck with the default scripts, which are less exciting than the custom scripts used for the game's stock empires.

Is MM aware of this bug?

Would staring a game, then changing all the empires to player control and saving them keep the new scripts?

If so, than you could do that, and put in whatever empires you want, and however many duplicates you want.

I'll make one later.

There's no reason why a ship set (the non-AI components) should perform any different with the mod.

Based on the error, I'd have to pin it on the set.

Space Empires Depot | SE:V Balance Mod

Not necessarily. You'd have to see which was common between the two ship sets - such as if they were converted or designed with the same program etc.
