Need Help Troubleshooting Error

Post by Faelandaea »

Okay, so for some reason, recently, any vehicle that I try to add LightExtension to corrupts any and all maps I play. The thing is, however, that I have been using Lightextension for a while now and never had ANY issues at all until very recently. Then all of a sudden my saves all get corrupted. I can purchase and use said vehicles, and play the game fine ... until i save and close out to come back later. Then when i come back, my vehicles xml is trashed completely, rendering my map completely void of all vehicles.

The error log is being completely useless in helping me. It just gives this generic info:

Code: Select all

Any ideas on what can be causing this? The vehicles I am using lighextension on are completely perfect and error free in every way, yet for some reason over the last couple of weeks, my vehicles suddenly started corrupting the vehicles.xml whenever I save and close. :(

This looks like a typo/syntax error.
Mostly a tag not closed corretly.

But to be 100% sure, xml file would be helpful.

If you use Notepadd++ with syntax highlighting, this error gets visible better

The issue, however, is that the code checks out. All of my brackets are closed. And these SAME mods work perfect on some maps ... just not others. Example: I have all of my trucks with beacons, etc. running perfectly on the Lone Oak map. Saves, exits, comes back ... no issues. The SAME mods on, for example, Southern Perish ... the vehicles xml gets trashed every time I exit the game. :( And I just confrmed I do NOT have to buy the vehicle for this to happen. just having it in my mod folder is enough to trash the Vehicles XML :(

this was happening to me when testing my mod at one time. come to find out I had 2 identical washable specializations in my moddesc. so it was adding to the game and saving it was making all my vehicles not show up.

That was a great suggestion as I wasn't looking at specializations. however, checking my own mods there are no duplicates in the specializations listings. Hmmm. I think i may just shelf FS17 anyway. We're around a month until FS19 and I need to wrap up some mods for ATS/ETS2. This might be the game just telling me it's bloody tired of being played LOL.

I always load course play, but I've never used it. just seems like to much hassle to figure out. probably something isn't meshing with it. there are a few mods that don't.

It’s actually easy. So easy even my ex wife could use it if she had a brain. :)
