[Solved] Strange absent sub-ent problem
Posted: Fri Apr 12, 2013 11:10 am
OK, here's a weird thing.
My Smivs'Shipset v4.1.4 has been around since 16th December without any hint of the current problem.
A couple of days ago I noticed that all the sub-ents (models and flashers) had disappeared from the 'Replace' version. The only changes I have made were to the shipdata.plist entries for the Thargoids and related to materials and scripts, not sub-ents. The un-changed version has the same problem so the plist changes are not relevent. The 'Add' version of the OXP is un-affected and still has all the subents (with or without the plist changes I made).
Both Add and Replace versions are identical except for the ship names. The Replace version uses the default names (eg "adder") whereas the Replace version has a 'smivs' prefix (eg "smivs-adder").
I don't know how long this problem has existed, but suspect it is fairly recent as I hadn't noticed before - I can't say for sure that it is 1.77 related, but it certainly did not exist when I released the OXP while 1.76.1 was current.
I am totally baffled by this and so far have not been able to fix it as I haven't got a clue what is causing it. Has anybody else using the Replace version noticed this? - the missing sub-ents are the engines, guns and navigation strobes (flashers). Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here?
