Hmm I dont know a thing about the modding aspect. But copy and pasting the XML changes might help. Other wise we can't help at all, not knowing the exact changes and all.

have you checked your debug.err file ?? You can sometimes see what was going on to crash the game around the last lines..

Successfully updated karma reason!

check your starbase module's data against the documenting i've done of the starbasemodules.xml @ http://www.gc2builder.com/vtopic-24.html
If you don't find the error, post the xml or email it to syneris@hotmail.com and i'll look at it

Successfully updated karma reason!

Thanks for the posts. My current attempt to fix this is to include the release data in GC2Types.xml in my version. I think it uses hard-coded values in the game to determine which graphics to use when a starbase fires. Since I removed (almost) all the old values, this lookup fails and the program bombs. But this is going to take a few hours to implement and test .

In the meantime...

> have you checked your debug.err file ??

Yes. Nothing at all. Most frustrating.

> If you don't find the error, post the xml...

Sure. Here's some disclaimers:
It's a work-in-progress. Use at your own risk. I plan on many additional changes, these files should be seen as an alpha release.

Here goes with the xml, it's changes to 4 files - TechTree.xml, GC2Types.xml, StarbaseModules.xml, and PlanetImprovements.xml. I'll put "nice"

Interstellar Governments
200
Allows us to begin researching advanced types of governments.

Each culture has its own government system, and we want to research each government so we can learn and grow in our knowledge and understanding of other races. There can be no understanding between the different galactic species until we understand as much of each other's culture and society as possible. Plus we want to copy the good parts and use them to improve our own government...

New Propulsion Techniques
25
Get in the fast lane for finding new propulsion technologies to make your ships faster.

We've got Hyperdrive, the great contribution to the galaxy made by the Humans. But Hyperdrive is pretty basic stuff. To go faster, we need to come up with other ways to go faster.

There's basically two ways to increase how fast we travel. The first way is to bend space more. That's basically all Hyperdrive does. Ships still cannot move very fast in normal space; so Hyperdrive used immense amounts of energy in order to slightly warp space to make a 10 million mile trip seem the same as taking a one light year trip. The second way to make ships travel faster is to increase how fast they move in normal space. Bigger thrusters and what have you. We have some great ideas that, with some good research grants, will allow us to come up with much more advanced stuff.

HyperDrive

HyperDrive
50
Allows ships to travel interstellar space at a reasonable speed.

The problem with the existing system of space travel - star gates - is that they are slow, bulky and immobile. A star gate is a city in space. It exists solely to move ships from one star gate to another located somewhere else. Travel is not instantaneous with a star gate. A ship travels effectively one adjusted-parsec (pc) per week (.165 light years per week). For example, the Human star system, Sol is 8pc away from Alpha Centauri and hence would take eight weeks to reach it.

Ion Drive is the next step up from Hyperdrive. It enables ships to travel slightly faster through normal space, and unlike other attempted propulsion technologies, remains stable when traveling through the warped space created by the Hyperdrive.

Impulse Drive

Provides Impulse Drive propulsion system.

The more effective energy output and the greatly reduced size of a cold fusion reactor has allowed our scientists to increase the effectiveness of the Micro Impulse Drive. The effective speed of a vessel the size of a colony ship has been doubled. Small ships have also received a speed boost, but not as great as a colony ship. The 'fold' in space, which depends on the mass of the ship along with nearby mass concentration, is doubled for a colony ship. The main problem with this form of propulsion is still the small steps of the Micro Impulse Drive that are made to accomplish ship movement.

Space Militarization
50
Starts us down the path of arming and defending our ships.

Space is big. Really quite absolutely huge. It's so big that one might argue that it has some sort of inferiority complex. It's as if it's just saying, "Hey, look at me, I'm BIG!" Its bigness gives rise to all kinds of problems for us.

One of those problems is that it's big enough to contain other intelligent life forms. We use the term intelligent loosely, for no matter how big the universe is, there are other beings who will want what you have. Unless we plan to hand it over, we will need to defend ourselves. This comes in the form of putting things on our ships that keep them from being damaged, as well as putting things on them that will cause harm to our enemy's ships.

And so that is where space militarization comes in. Now we can go down the path to researching weapons and defenses for our vessels.

An international consortium on how dangerous space really is.

Once we believed we were the only intelligent life out there. Or well, maybe not the only intelligent life but the only intelligent life we'd ever have to deal with. Then came the star gates, and while we knew there was intelligent life out there that could potentially be considered dangerous or be conquered by us, it wasn't really feasible.

Today at the international consortium, we have concluded the necessity of setting up a research center to start pondering what to do about Hyperdrive. The next step is space militarization which will take us from theory to engineering.

Space Weapons
100
Allows us to begin researching weapons.

Space is not a friendly place. It's unfriendly to the extreme. First, if you try to take a stroll around in it, you'll die. Which, needless to say, could be considered rather rude. But even if you manage to wade around in space inside a hollowed out piece of metal, you are bound to run into others, wading around in their pieces of hollowed out metal, trying to kill you. To that end, we have come up with some thoughts on weapons.

We've come up with three basic types of weapons. First, you've got mass drivers. Bullets are mass drivers. We've been using them for a long time. Cannons in space and all that. The second type is missile technology. We know about missiles: explosive charges put on the end of some sort of guided propulsion. Very good stuff. Lastly, there's beam weapons. Beam weapons we have some idea of as well: Shoot streams of energy into the enemy's ship and hope it blows it up.

So our next step is to focus on those three areas and start getting some weapons - for self-defense of course.

Starship Defenses

Gives us access to technologies that will help us put defenses on our ships.

Just waiting for us out in the depths are space are hostile aliens armed with electric death bent on wiping us out. Some say that a good defense is a strong offense, but those people aren't here right now are they? No. They're probably out there, trying to attack people only to realize that sometimes a good defense is actually a good defense. Equipping our ships with defensive technologies will help them survive the hostile environments of space and more importantly, lower the insurance costs on our ships.

We've got three types of defenses in mind. You've got good old-fashioned armor. You know, like what knights used to wear but better. Various composite materials that we put on our ships that help us absorb damage, particularly from high-density attacks such as mass drivers. We've also theorized about energy based defenses called shields. These "shields" would essentially act as an energy field around our ships that absorb damage, particularly from energy based attacks such as beam weapons. And lastly, there's point defense. Not a very good name is it? Point defense? Marketing is working on that. I prefer to call it "Anti-Missile Defense" myself but whatever. Point defense is designed to shoot out small bits to knock out fragile weapons with explosive heads like missiles, and protect us from getting hit in the first place.

Now that we've thought of these wonderful defenses, we must start researching them individually. Which is good! Well, good for us in the defense research community who need the research grants.

It's not like colony ships are equipped with all the refining capacity needed to just start building factories and labs and the like.

What we have researched here is more of a logistical battle plan on how to organize and transport the needed materials to build a whole range of planetary improvements.

In addition, we will want to be able to improve our logistics. Better logistics means cheaper starbases and bigger fleets. And as if that wasn't enough to make this a terrific research path, industrial theory will lead us to bigger and better types of hulls.

While attending a retro-theme party based on television shows from Earth's 20th century, Brakham Nordstrom was struck by the idea that deflector technology could be extended to block different types of energy more effectively. With inverted tachyon pulses used in a steady stream, virtually all the output of energy weapons could be blocked, if only for a short period of time. This observation led to the formation of his company, General Dynometrics, which won the majority of the next set of planetary defense contracts. Unfortunately, the company went bankrupt before any subsequent research could be completed.

Subspace Rebounder

The Subspace Rebounder is expensive but provides enhanced protection.

The Subpsace Rebounder was found as a kind of fluke. While researching Shields, one of our most brilliant scientists, who happens to be phsyically disabled, came up with the idea of an energy field that rebounds energy into a slightly different angle that allows our shield technology to have to absorb less of the blast.

In effect, it causes energy weapons to nearly miss. It is more expensive, by far, because it still requires the full cost of including shields, but it doesn't use any more space.

Remember shields? These are even better!

Barriers are similar to shields in that they do create an energy field that disperses beam weapons. But barriers, unlike shields and deflectors before them, don't just deflect, they literally take some of that energy and make it part of the shield effect. This makes them far more effective.

Armor is good. Armor keeps us from going "blooie" when someone shoots at us. Or throws a rock at us. Or when we run into space debris, which can happen. Yep, all kinds of bad things can happen out here in the cold, black depths of space. All alone. Except for the other species who've decided they'd rather see us dead. Yep. All kinds of hazards out here. Is anyone else cold? Let's get some lights on, shall we? I want my mommy.

Titanium Armor

This armor technology will help prevent damage from mini-balls and other mass driver technologies.

Titanium armor is our first crack at putting up defenses against mass drivers. Mass drivers are basically space-based bullets. That's an oversimplification since mass drivers are shot using a Hyperdrive assisted gun, so we are talking very, very fast bullets.

The only defense we have come up with so far is good old fashioned armor. Bullets go right through shields with only a modest impact and anti-missile defenses can only slow mass drivers down a bit. Armor is our best bet against the deadly mass driver weapons.

9600
A new type of material for defending against mass-driver attacks.

Our scientists have grown concerned about mass drivers that actually make use of warped space to enhance their damage. Tri-Strontium is a material so advanced it's a little bit frightening.

As a material, it makes use of three different types of strontium, a new type of composite material. When any of the three types of strontium is impacted by a hyper-dense mass (like a mass driver weapon) at high velocity, the other two layers vibrate at the molecular level to effectively rebound much of the force from the mass driver.

Arnorian Battle Armor

Incredibly potent armor that is expensive but provides excellent protection against mass-drivers.

The Arnor are long gone, but this once vast interstellar empire has left some traces of its existence. We managed to find a vault on a distant moon that contained a vast amount of a material that looked like it was organic, but was clearly a type of armor. We have managed coax it in our lab to grow into a complete ship-scale set of armor.

The armor is very expensive to create since the original stock of it was so small. We also won't be able to improve upon it since we have very little concept on how organic armor works and aren't likely to figure it out any time soon.

When that energy is dissipated, the material returns to its previous state.

Endurium Armor
38400
A new, superior form of mass-driver protection.

Duralthene armor is our prototype attempt to create a type of armor making use of a new element called Adamantium. Adamantium doesn't exist naturally. Rather, it is a derivative of an extremely rare element found occasionally in asteroids that have been recently struck by large comets.

Adamantium is the result of taking that rare material and subjecting it to an intense energy field. The result is a material that actually isn't completely in-sync with normal space. Duralthene armor is essentially taking the old Tri-Strontium alloy and coating it with trace amounts of this Adamantium material.

When a mass driver comes into contact with the Adamantium, the material of the mass driver is dissipated into the sub-dimensions of the Adamantium. It's difficult to explain but most of the mass is instantly moved out of our normal space and into a slightly out of sync dimension. The remaining material of the mass driver weapon is then absorbed through the traditional Tri-Strontium alloy.

Adamantium armor is our full effort to create a material that isn't really all here. Adamantium armor, once formed, cannot be altered. It takes frightening amounts of energy to create from its natural elements. Once created, it holds onto its existence through an energy field that cycles through several different dimensions.

When Adamantium armor is struck by mass driver weapons, most of that mass driver shot gets teleported (literally) into several different dimensions. Only a fraction of the original mass is left to expend its kinetic energy against our ships.

Railguns remain potent weapons. When people think of mass drivers they think of bullets. But that's really not the full story.

MiniBalls are the term civilians give to railguns due to the fact that the projectiles are so small. Conceptually simple, railguns use an electric motor to accelerate conductive projectiles. Railguns have awesome piercing potential in all their forms. All mass driver weapons, at the end of the day, are merely forms of railguns.

MiniBalls make use of alumninum-based projectiles that are fired at a relatively low rate (5 to 10 rounds per minute). Despite this, against ships with little armor, this form of railgun can be devastating.

We have continued to refine our railgun technology. The new mass driver technology has allowed us to develop a new type of slug that has less resistance than the previous alumnium-based technology. This has allowed us to increase the rate of fire substantially which allows them to do more damage. However, this has been mostly offset by the fact that more rounds have to be stored on ships. The net
impact is that the new railgun uses a bit less space to achieve the same level of damage.

Ships that do not have armor will find that railguns are a powerful weapon.

Plasma throwers take massive amounts of energy to create plasma projectiles of incredible density. They are quite lethal on enemy ships.

Like all mass-drivers, they are still effectively a type of railgun. For political reasons, we have had to stop using the term "railgun" as many laypeople think of projectile based weaponry as being primitive in an age of energy weapons and the like.

But make no mistake, in space, the ability to toss a high density, high speed projectile that pierces most hulls on contact is worth investigating. The Singularity Driver is an impressive piece of engineering. While the rate of fire has been lost from previous generations, the Singularity Driver maintains a 20 to 30 rounds per minute ability with a projectile that is surrounded by ionized helium to form a bubble about the projectile. The projectile itself is heavily compressed in an ionized energy field that enables it to do massive damage to enemy ships.

When it comes into contact with the hull of another ship, the field collapses and the matter returns to its normal state.

The process of the matter changing back to its normal state causes immense amounts of kinetic energy to be unleashed.

A very basic beam weapon.

Don't get your hopes up. Lasers are actually not very effective weapons. They are beam weapons which are useful in space where ships are firing great distances, but they aren't very powerful. Still, something is better than nothing.

The Laser series of weapons works through a series of weaponized mirror technology. Rushed into service in order to deal with the hostility of the galaxy, the energy (i.e., light) is refracted from the mirrors into a single "beam." Our technology in this area is currently quite limited as the mirrors tend to burn out readily.

The challenge for us is to find better materials for the mirrors so that more energy can be directed and combined. Since beam weapons are effectively instantaneous, the other issue that determines weapon effectiveness is the duration. Right now, lasers have a very short duration due to the fragility of the mirrors used.

Plasma is actually a different type of matter. Matter exists in four states: solid, liquid, gas. Plasma is the fourth state. But plasma weapons are not mass driver weapons, not in the way we're using them.

Early attempts at creating plasma weapons would have certainly placed them into the mass driver category. Plasma, unlike lasers, have significant mass. The damage from plasma is from heat damage, not kinetic energy transferral.

The funny thing about our plasma weapons is that they really are fancier lasers. The plasma is encased in an immensely powerful energy field that ensures that the plasma is transferred nearly instantly (i.e., near light speed) to the intended target.

The laser field helps keep the plasma from behaving like a gas. The net result is that a ship hit with a plasma based weapon will first have its hull damaged or ruptured through the plasma and then by the energy field around it damaging vital internal elements of the enemy ship.

The Doom Ray is really several beam weapons at once. If we were to watch a Doom Ray hit an enemy ship in slow motion, you would first see the initial phased-based beam connection between the attacker and the defender. The effect is to get the Doom Ray into harmonic equality with the enemy ship.

Once harmonic equality has been reached, the main Doom Ray itself is fired which has the effect of converting significant portions of the enemy ship into energy which creates a chain reaction across the ship. It is, literally, the ultimate beam weapon technology.

Impulse Drive Mark II

How fast our starships travel is based on two factors. First, to what degree our propulsion technology can fold space. The second is how fast our ships can travel in normal space, particularly when moving through folded space. This advanced version of the Impulse Drive enables our ships to fold space slightly more, giving them a slightly greater overall speed.

But the biggest thing we can do is build an orbital fleet manager. The orbital fleet manager will allow us to coordinate ships in orbit on the fly to meet attackers. To the lay person, organizing a fleet on the spot probably seems easy, but here's the thing - space is big. We discussed this previously. It's very big. Even our tiny planets are very big compared to our ships. When a fleet of enemy ships comes out of hyperspace in orbit of our planets, it's very difficult to suddenly coordinate a bunch of ships in orbit. The orbital fleet manager will allow us to do this.
