Hey, just starting to mod for soase entrenchment.  having a bit of difficulty.  i downloaded the forgetools, so i have the converted reference data. i'm just trying to change a station to have more upgrade points.  i save it to the right place (far as i can tell).  game works fine, but when i build my modded starbase, it disappears.  poof, it's somewhere else, and i can't see it. i'm just changing one value.  unmodded it works fine.  modded, starbase poof. help would be appreciated :X

The converted reference files in the forge tools are out of date to the latest versions of the game. Check out

DO NOT use the ANCIENT 'reference files' that come with the forge tools as they WILL CAUSE minidumps with all later versions of entrenchment as they are for entrenchment 1.00 ONLY. you will mostlikly have entrenchment 1.051 assuming you have updated with impulse.

if you want reference files for the current sins & entrenchment versions download either myfist0's(in the OP of the link that superzero0 supplied or my reference files.

also there are several utilities to help with sins modding( especially entrenchment and diplomacy) by several authors, usually on the first couple of pages of the modding forum. I suggest downloading all of  the utilities/tools by the differnet authors and trying them to see which works best for you.

Thanks for supplying that link Z but it is not being updated anymore. Adding to a forum is a royal pain, thats why I created the soase.weebly.com. Specifically for the modding starting at soase.weebly.com/modding.html
