In response to post #12311865.

There was a patch update yesterday (the 25th) and it screwed up a lot of mods, could possibly be related. Apparently it updated on people's games even if they had set the "auto-updates" to off, so yeah...

In response to post #12311865. #12366685 is also a reply to the same post.

I actually commented this moments before the patch released, so no, it's completely unrelated.

Goldeathorus, I'm guessing, you have Steam installed to Program Files. If so, move it to some other folder, like C:\Steam or D:\Steam. And please, post the entire PatcherGUI log here, as I can't help much by guessing.

anakameron, yes, patch 2 renders game incompatible with this mod. If your Steam is in online mode, you will receive it regardless of the auto-update settings: in my case update started after I tried to start the game.

I will update all my mods asap, please, be patient.

YAY ur updating!
the custom mods part of toolboks is still working so ive heard so I really need the CollectMeldFromAlienCorpses.txt thanx

[EvilNecroid]

meld is good
canisters r bad
is there a way to remove or change the count down timer by editing an ini file myself while I wait for ur updates?

[wghost81]

EvilNecroid, no, it requires upk hex-editing.

Please, be patient. I'm working on it. Almost done.

[wghost81]

No values have been altered; each of these was simply extracted with WinRAR and immediately installed. Each of them then displayed an error message and restored backups. None worked.
EDIT: Also, sorry about the annoying smileys; Nexus keeps converting every capitol "d" into them and I can't find any way to stop it.
EDIT 2: Just noticed it seems to have deleted just about all of the slashes in here as well. Sorry about that, too.
