Adding ship makes mods disappear
« on: August 16, 2009, 11:37:51 PM »
Hi all,

After thinking Legacy would tide me over till the next batch of supermods come out I decided to completely reinstall BC. I've installed the patch, KM, various mods and about 50 ships, but some ships don't show up.

So I worked out I need a plugin and using BCUT they appear in my game. Unfortunately my mods dissappear (from the ingame menu not mutator menus) too, leaving me with only stock ingame options, and nothing I can do seems to make a difference. Even when I remove the .py and .pyc the mods are still gone forever.

This isn't the first time ive had the problem over the years, so it can't just be me but I can't find another thread mentioning the issue.

Sorry if i've overlooked something obvious and thanks for looking.

Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

There is a faulty carrier plugin somewhere. Run the game in windowed mode so you can catch the game earlier.

Sorry Aces your suggestion didnt work.

Kirk you were right and I can see lexington which fits as thats what I installed to troubleshoot the problem. I fixed it by simply deleting the ship carrier .py, as it doesn't bother me right now.

That fixed it and ive had no problems with any other ships...yet ;) Many thanks.

The Lexington has been fixed previously. If you want that fixed, you can look that up.

I still can't read peoples minds, nor can I read peoples computers, even worse, I can't combine the two to read what is going wrong with your BC install...

you can use BCUT to make carriers for your ship, if youd like...  or simply delete the related carrier py and pyc from the Carriers folder (which youve already figured out)...
