Help! Installed a mod, lost all controls (E.G. fleet order's option, gone).
« on: August 04, 2008, 04:57:33 PM »
Yeh, I have KM 1.0, loved all my controls (fleet orders, silent running etc.), installed a mod, had all the requirements and now POOF! It's all gone. Mutators show that the Extension 1.0 is on and all the other mutators, yet it's all gone. The mod is the NX Class Pack *MEDIUM*. Please help!

OK. Let me sort it out.

I think you just need to re-set your keyboard controls.
Assuming you are talking about those.

Otherwise, if you are talking about buttons, then we need a console report.

Try uninstalling the mod to see if you get the controls back.

OK, trying to uninstall mod.

Thing is though, it doesn't kill my game. Where should I open the console report? At the Quick Battle bridge or at the beginning of the game?

Uninstalled mod, didn't work.

But here's something I've realised. There are still some buttons left:

Kiska (Helm) still has DS9FX and Thrusters
Felix (Tactical) still has Secondary Targetting
Saffi (Second in Command) still has Core Ejection.

is never the answer. In fact, doing that can cause more problems.

Second, you aren't catching the error early enough. At the top I can see there is a syntax error, but not where it is. Please run the game in windowed mode and get us a shot of the first error window that pops up.

I can't scroll up the report. What should I do?

You shouldn't have to, if you run the game in windowed mode, a debug window will pop up at the first error.

Windowed mode? How would I do that?

Edit: Found out, done it.

Use a console logger.

It's mostlikely a shuttle plugin that's faulty.
Or a QBAutostart plugin.

Query-Why would it be a shuttle? The mod I installed had nothing to do with shuttles.

Because it's talking about the ShipManager, that's a Shuttle Launching Framework component.

You didn't restart after switching to windowed mode did you? You need to do that to get the dosbox.

I disagree since uninstalling mods have eliminated problems for me on countless occasions.
The thing is people don't delete every single file from the mod (one file could be the source
of the problem) or they don't back up their old files and they are overwritten.

Uninstalling mods is effective in the process of elimination.
