The Terran Osaka's icon is bugged but my mod list is pretty long, its "just" the destroyer class from what I can see, Im not sure how to narrow it down, what sort of mods may cause a single ship class to have an error?

I do have the Ship variety expansion mod among others. Anyway if I could get some help narrowing it down I could point out what iv'e got that may be effecting it.

If anything changes the ship macro file to use a different icon than vanilla icons then that may cause the error. A little tedious to check but is not hard if you know what files you are looking at.

If it is just the one ship destroyer Terran Osaka I can check it out, as if it uses a different icon then vanilla which I don't think it does because I tested Terran DLC before publish of new update.

Seems the Terran Destroyers both use

Which is the generic destroyer icon for all races so I would have to say it may be mod conflict changing the file ship_atf_l_destroyer.xml_01_a_macro.xml and/or ship_ter_l_destroyer_01_a_macro.xml in the path H:\Dev Projects\X4 Foundations\4.0 Base\extensions\ego_dlc_terran\assets\units\size_l\macros

I have this icon modified in H:\Dev Projects\X4 Foundations\Projects\vroIcons-stable\assets\fx\gui\textures\shipicon and the file ship_l_fight_01.gz

I was playing X4 last night btw, It is all destroyers, I came across an Argon heavy behemoth in Antigone space which also had the icon error.

Just finished grabbing my mod list.

Travel mod VRO

Better target monitor
X Universe + / 4.0

A few i've got my eye on as a culprit are Travel mod, Sir nukes API and Better target monitor as well as fire and smoke. They are the only ones I can think of that might force changes on vanilla ships in conflict with things like VRO icons etc.

Actually I don't see any mods with issue that I know about.
I never tested with Ship Variation Expansion though, you also do not have the Ship Variation Expansion VRO patch mod.

Sir Nukes API I use. I also use most of his other mods.
Well the destroyers all have icons for me and I am subbed to this mod.

You prob should not use Expanded Sectors x2 with another sector mod unless support was added for Universe + or will not expand those sectors.

Also, Faction enhancer Balance/AI/War modules IMO is not needed anymore with X4 4.0 they basically fixed the eco and works fine without that stuff all that mod does now really is add a few more stations.

Try remove GEMFX, I know its odd somebody else in here had that issue, don't have that issue but someone did and then destroyers worked showed up again for them.

I'll give disabling GEMFX a try then, although the ship variation expansion is the VRO version I just forgot to list it as that. My B

No luck disabling GEM FX

I just remembered something!
I tried removing VRO Icons mod the other day but the bug remained, Is there any special process to performing a clean install or repair of the mod?

Yes.

To make sure you get a clean download

1.in-game, go to extentsions locate mod, untick the update check box and untick it being active.

2.Then check steam make sure its not subbed, and exit the game.

3. Go to your Steam/steamapps/common/X4 Foundations/extentsions path and delete vroiconsstable folder.

Re-sub on steam.


You may wish to do a full verify of game files in steam as-well just to be sure.

I'll do that now, Seems a bit silly though doesnt it, Ego leaves us to come up with all these convoluted round about solutions to everything :/

Welp, full clean reinstall but no luck, its still broken, if this keeps up I may need to go vanilla and incrimentally install my mods, checking on this bit by bit (headache time)

It is strange, as I have not had these issues the issues I did have I could verify and check the ships to realise indeed I needed to add a few more edited macro files, this was for the XR ship pack update though.

I would simply disable all mods except VRO and this one and then restart game test a new save game and see what happens.

have to report that my osaka terran icon is also bugged

I did find a solution to this, I deleted the content of my
Documents/Egosoft/X4/54065585

"Make sure" you back up inputmap.xml, I believe it contains your keybindings setup before erasing the directory.

After I did this, launched X4, the directory re-created its self and my icons issue was solved.
