Thing is, its not a mod that required any entity file changes.  Would it work to copy the new entity files from entrenchment into the gameinfo folder from my tweak mod?  It was just something to boost cap ships a little and so didnt require any entity or string changes.  Thanks.

Got it fixed, you were right .  Thanks Annatar, helpful as always.

The only change in entities from 1.01 to 1.02 that I'm aware of so far is that all structures (planet modules, starbases) have a new/changed line for controlling "rotate to planet" settings.  Simply replacing that line in all affected entities in my own mods seems to have restored compatibility with 1.02.

I have not checked to see if there any additions to the string file for 1.02.  That's also a common thing that changes from patch to patch.

It's possible that there may be other changes but my own mods contain pretty much all entity types commonly modified and those were the only ones affected by 1.02.  It's not that daunting a task to update fore 1.02 but it will vary from mod to mod.

Right.  But those are just adjustments to stats and would not prevent a mod from loading or working.  I was refering to changes that MUST be made in order for a mod to not minidump at load.

oh man i am psyched on the prospect of you guys putting something up that explains how to make easy update fixes!
