OPERATION: NO MOD LEFT BEHIND (0.14.0 Mod Upgrader)

Walt I have the same problem, I tried loading BloodCult and Sw mod... And this was the crash log.

The following mods cause errors after upgrading, note that you might have to fix some of these to be working for 0.13.9 (duplicate OtherID´s) before upgrading them to 0.14, since I did that manually:
Star Wars
Bubbets Placeholder
Bloodcult
Gelterran Confederacy
Archon´s Plasma
Cosmoteer Plus
Additional Weapons (unstable version which is supposed to work with 0.14)
NWAMD
Laser Point Defense
Weapon Variants&Stargate

Thank you in advance for whatever kind of help you will provide.

Walt

Drakador_Chaos I just re-tested Star Wars, Bubbet's Placeholder, and Bloodcult, and they are all working fine for me. Are you sure you're using the latest version of the upgrader (preview4)? If you are, then please copy & paste the upgrader output here.

Drakador_Chaos

Walt Upgrader output as in, the last few lines, the mod folder or the error?

Drakador_Chaos

Walt
So, I did a few testing runs, these are working now:
Starwars
Archons Plasma
Bubbets
NWAMD
Bloodcult
Additional Weapons
ABH

However, they seem to be only working seperately, if more than one of them is active I get this error (example):

System.Exception: Error loading mod: Place Holder Mod ---> Halfling.ObjectText.OTParseException: Group at path '<C:\Program Files\Cosmoteer\Data\rules.txt>' already contains a node named 'PARTICLES'.

Then, there´s Confederate which does not seem to want to work regardless:

System.Exception: Error loading mod: Confederate ---> Halfling.ObjectText.OTNavigateException: Unable to find node at path "<./Data/Effects/particles.txt>".

Same for Cosmoteer plus:

System.Exception: Error loading mod: Cosmoteer Plus ---> Halfling.ObjectText.OTNavigateException: Unable to find node at path "<Ships/ai.txt>/BountyBrain".

...and Laser Point Defense:

...Documents\My Games\Cosmoteer\Mods\LaserPD.Celestia0.0.3_upgraded\point_defense\point_defense.txt>/Part" failed. ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Ein Aufrufziel hat einen Ausnahmefehler verursacht. ---> System.Exception: Part ID 'laser_point_defense_celly' must be in the form of 'author_name.part_name'.

As for the Command window, it would probably easier to send that via Discord DM´s, since I can´t copy paste the text(well or I´m too dumb to figure out how to do that in the Command window), which means I´ll have to send quite a bunch of screenshots, aswell these contain my personal name quite alot of times, which I would not like to spread on the forums, you could remove me again from the friendlist once we´re finished, if you want.

Sorry for the inconveniences.

Walt

Drakador_Chaos I want to see everything in the command window, including everything you typed into it.

Walt

I have updated the mod upgrader to fix all of the issues pointed out by Drakador_Chaos . You can download the new version here: CosmoteerModUpgrader_0.14.0_v4.exe

Walt

TheHealingDoctor It instantly freezes as soon as I put in the path to my mod.
I don't know if it's because of some rubbish coding on my end, a fault on the upgrader, or because of the mod itself doesn't work.

Hmm, I just tested and it seems to be working fine. Can you please get me a screenshot of the upgrader window? (And make sure you have the upgrader exe in the same folder as Cosmoteer.exe.)

TheHealingDoctor

Walt Hmm, I just tested and it seems to be working fine. Can you please get me a screenshot of the upgrader window? (And make sure you have the upgrader exe in the same folder as Cosmoteer.exe.)

It works fine, it didn't work because I put the upgrader in My Games > Cosmoteer, and the reason I put it there is because for some reason I had Cosmoteer.exe in that folder.

Sorry to bother you, Walt.

Drakador_Chaos

Walt I will do some testing tomorrow as it´s quite late currently, thanks for the help Walt!

The updater freezes for Cosmos Divided https://forum.cosmoteer.net/d/4748-star-wars-a-cosmos-divided-mod-main-page even on V4. Before I could get a log, the screen whitens.

Walt

Terket Can you please re-download V4 of the upgrader and try again? It should give an actual error message now to help me track down the problem.

Terket

Oh wait, I know why it has been freezing.
I forgot to put the updater program in the Cosmoteer program files.

Walt

I have updated the upgrader to fix some issues it was having with some mods. No need to re-upgrade if v4 was already working for you.

Lafiel

v5 updater: a minor cosmetic improvement is needed for the
CompatibleGameVersions tag in mod.txt: the current cosmoteer version e.g. "0.14.0" is missing.

I need to do more testing to find other bugs.

Walt

Lafiel CompatibleGameVersions tag in mod.txt: the current cosmoteer version e.g. "0.14.0" is missing.

This is deliberate, because I want mod creators to test the upgraded mod and make any needed fixes before officially certifying that their mod is compatible with 0.14.0.

That_Angry_Man

Lafiel Wait... Are you finally back?

Drakador_Chaos

Walt Mods seem to work mostly fine now, thanks for the help Walt

Lafiel

That_Angry_Man Yes.

Walt
I see.
I've got a crash due to a TKey not found but from what I see in the log I suspect it's perhaps another path linking problem (in a shot file: anti-msl_missile_shot.txt)
MediaEffects [ &/PARTICLES_3703203068029998416/FragExplode &<./Data/shots/missile/particles/missile_shockwave.txt> ]
Here's the updated mod and savegame

Edit: I've noticed a discrepancy in animation and shooting timing. I've tried to re-adjust them but could this be related to how graphics & bitmaps (compression) are now handled differently between old and new GPU hardware?

Walt

Lafiel That is actually a bug in 0.14.0 that causes a crash when a hit effect with a delay hits something other than a ship (such as an AntiBullet hit effect). I'll fix it in the next update, but the current workaround is to remove any delays from hit effects that can hit anything other than ships.
