SamDoehart Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I just released my first mod the other day. The mod makes it so you can dismantle and reinstall core components in the inventory. However, there seems to be an issue with dismantling the Deflector Shield. While the shield can be freely dismantled and reinstalled while the player is outside the ship if the player tries to get into their ship while it is uninstalled or dismantles it while in their ship, the game CTDs. I've discussed the matter with the guy who helped me make the mod (monkeyman182), but all we can think of is that there's some value the game is trying to get that requires the shield to be installed. My best guess is that it has to do with the shield level. Most likely the game reads how much shielding you have when you enter your ship, and continues to do so as you're in the ship to keep track of changes like taking damage. The shield can't normally be removed, so the game probably doesn't have a way to deal with not being able to get that value and therefore crashes. I think it's possible that there is something we could change in the file that governs what the game does when you enter your ship. However, I haven't had any luck finding the file that does this. Does anyone have a clue where it is, or if there is another solution I haven't thought of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
