Two things with a mod and an assert error

from Sins Forums

I've done some modding in the past versions (pre- dip 1.3x) and never had a problem with the game applying the mods. I tried to do a simple mod to the starbases and the checksum doesn't change when I apply the mod. It seems it's not stacking my mod on top. Using the DEV.exe dosn't help, but this brings me to the second issue.

I get this error

""

Assert @ C:\Projects\P4\SinsDiplomacy\Release\CodeSource\GS/Window/Screens/MainMenuScreen.cpp(18)

false

""

 

Does this make sense to anyone?

 

Below is the debug file for the last run session which didn't stack.

Never mind about the checksum. After looking back I added a space where I shouldn't have. THe assert error is still valid though.

Maybe... with the 1.33-1.34 update there is some change in the main menu... along some other change... there is a topic somewhere on these forum about the 1.33 changes... a other topic about menu problem due to the update... etc...
