Rewards Update!

I had mentioned at the start when creating this thread that I wanted to offer rewards as I was able--starting with karma for good answers--and that later I hoped to be able to offer something more tangible (no, I am not giving money!).

I have had a Makerbot sitting in my house for three months as I worked up the nerve to assemble it--hoping I wouldn't destroy it and consequently send several hundred dollars into the rubbish bin. As it turns out, I went to strike a deal at the local electronics repair store to see if he might assist me for payment.  turns out his son is building one in college this fall and he had planned to get one.  So three electronics technicians spent  a sleepless night over the weekend assembling the beast.  They will finish it this coming weekend--all for no charge.  You just can't do better than that.

So, my first home project as I learn to use the thing is going to be trying to 3D print some Sins models.  I have the vanilla version only and obviously won't be selling them, etc. but I am going to gift a few to "heroes" on this thread.  If you have your own models in a mod and want me to give a try printing them I'd be willing to give it a shot.  I need the practice.

The Makerbot isn't a commercial level manufacturing printer--its a "first draft" sort of device and so it has some limitations.  Extreme angles and micro detail may be tough for it.  That said, it still can make some pretty decent things (check the site).  Thanks to ZombieRus for the 3DS models of Sins Trinity which is what I'll be converting.

Yeah, my dad's an engineer.  I've known that I've never wanted to do that simply due to the sheer amount of math involved.

That's really kind of awesome lol.  

Even a plain-old Sins figurine would be awesome.  How big can makerbot print?

upload it to pastebin and tell us what you added or want to add so we dont have to check the whole file.

Chances are you are missspellin or missin an entity reference or count is off.

Also version and expansion and where you got the org file from

info info info 

Sounds good, Vasari are little bastards anyway 

lol, took me all of 2 seconds to see that error.

You cannot just add stuff to the bottom of the file. You need to find the section for the planet items and add your stuff there and change the count. Add your player to where the other players are and change the count.   

Okay, a few issues.

First, your planet item type count is off.  You have the count set at 108 even though you only have 102.

Second issue is you have a gap following that section which according to the sins engine means the file is done meaning everything after it is not loaded which is why you're crashing.

Third issue is that you have your player count set at 4, yet you have 5 entries.

Fourth issue is that you have the number of valid theme groups set at 5, but only have 4 entries.

Fifth issue is at the end of your file you're repeating the planet item type section with a second whole count and another player type count section...  These entries must be moved to their proper sections in the GSD.

Or we count on using the Dev.exe to show us what line caused the problem.

Though that requires you know how the files works, which this guy obviously didn't have a clue to what he was doing. But that's okay, that's what this forum is here for.

You would need one hell of a Dev exe to show everything in that file 

I use Eclipse for compares as well. No shame in using a tool for file comparisons. Though I disagree with the concept of the time to load eclipse and run the tool. It took all of 30 seconds to do...

Edit- Removed those due to not having full Reference files such as English.str...

Or for giggles... The tool is really meant to be used while your coding. Not as an after the fact recourse though it does help some in that regard especially for mods with large amounts of missing string entries.

Where can i download the Eclipse plugin?  According to what you say it is, I can use it to figure out my problems by myself if I have anymore, which means I won't have to go to this thread again.
