Hi @ all,

very early on when entering a sector with an enemy presence, i get the following error:

https://i.ibb.co/DPg9ZW5r/brainmod-error.jpg

my setup is the latest 1.13, and the latest Brainmod ( https://github.com/sun-alf/BRAINMOD-o ) - and from the error I assume (wrongly perhabs) an issue with game assets and their retrival. Does that ring a bell with someone, is that something that could be fixed with local configs, or should i revert to older codebase for either the mod or 1.13?

Many thanks in advance & cheer!

Hi @ all,

You may literally have the aforementioned PREBATTLEPANEL.STI missing or corrupted. This can sometimes be from your base JA2 installation or it's missing an update from 1.13.

Check your Interface folder in Data-1.13, or see if someone can upload the PREBATTLEPANEL.STI's (there should be a number of them for different resolutions) for you to copy over or see if a new installation of your base JA2 installation is required. The Vanilla base install should have a INTERFACE.SLF around 8.2 meg in size which is where the prebattle sti's are.

Many thanks Hawkeye, adding the resulution specific files to /Data in Brainmods directory helped indeed, I can proceed now. Beats me why the files weren't present there in the first place, but... works now. happy
