The script is importing dds files from a local folder - which you don't have. You can fix that for yourself by unpacking the dds files from the pak, placing them in a folder (c:\NMS_resources - for example) and update that folder's path in the script's EXTERNAL_FILE_SOURCE sections.
hello. tried merging this mod's lua and textures with "PTSd Tech + Upgrade + Recipe + Blueprint cost Rebalance.lua" using amumss. games crashes whenever police ships enter the fight . tried editing the code and removing some .dds files, but no good. helps appreciated
All this mod does is replacing texture paths. By itself, it can't cause a what you're describing... If you remove dds file you'll have missing icons, but the game wont crash. When merging, the order of processing is important - last to be processed wins... Try it with the mod that makes gameplay changes last in the merging order.
Hi, The two mods of "Reduced Launch Cost 2.6" and "Technology Icons" are excellent and work perfectly separately. But if set both mods: "Reduced Launch Cost 2.6" and "Technology Icons", then the first mod "Reduced Launch Cost 2.6" - stops working. :( Can you look at what the problem might be and is it possible to make these two mod compatible?
The 2 mods are making changes in the same file, so there's a conflict - you resolve it by merging them. The most popular tool for merging is amumss (that's what the added lua script is for).
After the update, I reinstalled this mode, but even if the modules that need to be charged are actually consumed, it is fixed at 0%, so I deleted this mode and it seems to be charged normally, so there is a bug in this mode. Please check it out.
The technology table was probably updated again, so the mod is already out of date (again). There should be another patch this week, I'll update the mod then.
Thanks for the .lua file. Any possibility of adding the Textures files in the default download? Not everyone is savvy enough to realize that it'll need to be extracted from the .pak for merging and no doubt someone will eventually complain about blank images.
Agreed - frankly if I don't see the folder I assume I don't need it when merging, my memory is too short to realize it's another manual step after the first time. =)
I rather not add the loose files as they are in the zip. What you could do, is extract the dds files once, place the TEXTURES folder at a dedicated path (c:\NMS_resources - for example) then use that path in the script's ADD_FILES section, so the script will works as it's supposed to and import the files when you run it.

I understand and will study. ;)
