Hmm, curious, what did it say? Are you using the same big bang release as on your forum thread? Maybe you could try disabling the other mods and if that works, enable some until it fails again.

Thanks for the compliment! I'm just a humble shoeshiner though, the credit should go to Tynan for making his game so accessible for modders :). And also one of the nicest examples of object oriented programming I've come across. Personally I don't really like c# though, if it was up to me, we'd all still be doing structured programming. But I recognise art when I see it ^^

Architect

C# is all I've even known XD Well, that and python... What do you mean by structured programming?

Ah, the last game I extensively modded has a python modding system :P. Structured programming used to be the status quo until object oriented programming became the new black. "Old" languages like C are primarily focussed on it.

This is nice, but it won't help if the architect isn't improved.  It just means that much more clicking around and hunting.  We need a search feature, and the ability to hide things from view that we don't intend to ever build, and the ability to make it into a word list rather than a huge icon list, the word list would just have smaller icons next to each name.  Icons about the size of the text height.
Click to see my steam. I'm a lazy modder who takes long breaks and everyone seems to hate.

Yes, the menu is being stressed by being asked to carry far more than it was designed for. I've made some improvements for A4 which should help things (especially modder-defined categories so you can make your own category).

Paging is a great idea though, I should've thought of this!

So had did people access individual instances data if nothing was object orientated?

All i do is clutter all around.
