broken game? (more like broken files or something)

Bassgun

Hello people
in my attempts to update a mod (microtech), i'm quite losing my mind on a problem I can't seem to fix by myself
The problem is that the files "shield_energy.png" and "shield.shader" that are used in the HitmediaEffects section of the microshield.txt file always give me an error log saying that the Directory path cannot be found
"

Blockquote
Deserialization from source "<C:\Users\Chrys\Documents\My Games\Cosmoteer\Mods[MicroTech]\parts\microshield\microshield.txt>/Part/Components/ArcShield/HitMediaEffects/0/ArcSprite/Texture" failed. ---> System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Impossible de trouver une partie du chemin d'accès 'C:\Program Files\Cosmoteer\Data\Ships\terran\shield_gen_mall\shield_energy.png'.

And this gives me the same error for the shader
can someone help me?
I have to precise that I already checked everything, the folder paths are exactly as they should be, I even re-installed the game to be sure I didn't accidentally move something but nothing to signal

Should be shield_gen_small

Bassgun

Walt wow
okay
I don't even know if i'm happy or salty the problem was this... simple
but thank you Walt
But now I have another crash log saying:

Blockquote
Deserialization from source "<C:\Users\Chrys\Documents\My Games\Cosmoteer\Mods[MicroTech]\parts\microshield\microshield.txt>/Part/Components/ArcShield/HitMediaEffects/1" failed. ---> Halfling.ObjectText.OTNavigateException: Unable to find node at path "/SOUNDS/AudioExterior".

Walt Bassgun still has a problem that needs to be fixed.

Walt

Bassgun /SOUNDS/AudioExterior

Should be /BASE_SOUNDS/AudioExterior

Bassgun

Walt yes thank you
I managed to fix all that (and a lot more things than i thought I would have to) in the few past hours
unfortunetely, issues really are getting out of hand right now for me

Bassgun Sooo, yeah I actually had to fix a lot of things in the part codes, finally managed to make the game run with the mod enabled, and then when I tried to further test the mod, the game crashed when I wanted to confirm a blueprint because no "ReadyToggle" was in the ftl part; fair enough; but I got to see the standard Ftl-drive of cosmoteer and it's .txt file didn't have the "ReadyToggle" and now i'm a bit confused
The good thing is I think this is the very last thing to fix before the mod being fully compatible and working, but is this normal that not a single version of the ftl parts in my game have the "ReadyToggle" code area? I swear I did see it before, and except if I managed to make a very bad and unnoticed mistake, something is wrong, either with my game files, or with my computer, that is deleting parts of the .txt files
One other thing that's making me think that is the fact that for an unknown reason, all the part blueprint files of the microtech mod seem to have disappeared, and I can't think of anything that i've done that would explain it

Walt

Bassgun the game crashed when I wanted to confirm a blueprint because no "ReadyToggle" was in the ftl part

There is nothing in the vanilla game called ReadyToggle. If you post the file with the error, I may be able to point out the problem.
