But this time I have been testing my ships one by one and have located the ship pack that caused my problem (http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/MetropolClass_and_Bridge;74022).
(See Jimmy, I told you I'd break it again.)
-
So it started after you installed this ship/bridge combo?
-
Yes.

yopyop is a regular patron here - maybe he should be alerted to this thread?
he created this mod, he might have some insight?

I haven't seen anything particularly wrong with the scripts (atleast, nothing overwriting sections of the Foundation or the GUI).
What I did notice was that the icon files where all lowercase, while the plugins refer to the icons with an uppercase M, so you could try to go to data/icons/ships/ and rename metropol.tga to Metropol.tga and metropol2.tga to Metropol2.tga
-
No luck. Here's my current ship plugin.
Also attached a "Scan BC" report.
-
Ehh... That was not what I was talking about.
I was talking about the icon filenames.
-
:wink: I renamed them as well, and it didn't help. The problem still exists.
-
Do other ships now also show the same problems?
I want you to type in the following in the console:
import ShipIcons
print ShipIcons.shipIconNames.has_key("metropol")
print ShipIcons.shipIconNames.has_key("Metropol")# Notice the different capital M, you may leave out this comment btw, anything from the # onwards)
Now, if either returns 1, then make sure that's the name you have entered in the ship plugin.
-
Hm... I never had that problem and nobody ever told me about having it.. so I guess it worked fine for everybody else...
Maybe it's some kind of compatibility problem caused by another ship you are using.
That's the only thing I could think of, I've never been really deep in BC-Modding though... :?

Problem Solved
I have attached the plugin. BC does not like it when the abbrev name and the shipfile name are not the same.
-
Ah, now that I didn't think of.
All this because of the fact that, basicly, the Foundation is trying to emulate the previous system as best as possible, maybe too well emulated.
-
hehe.. that's good news though :D
