what I think the problem is that it doesn't work with other mods. If this is the only mod it works perfectly fine. I added one other mod to see if it impacts it in any way. Game didn't crash, but the missiles would not impact. you would shoot them and then they dissapear.

I hope this helps.

I've had crashes when I try to place the target painter Turret

this discussion is for crashlogs guys... please keep it that way!
Thanks!

where would i find crashlogs?

99.999999999% of the info is on the interwebs

Where can I find and how can I post a crashlog?

This is what I get when I try to place the turret targeter:
1 -> Exception occured: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

what does this mean?

is there a conflicting script?
do you have both my version and another activated?

no only this one and I tried the reloaded one and I was able to place the targeter turret but the it was garbled up I even unsubbed from the reloaded version

i tried to place a targeter turret and got this

only your mod is loaded

I think its an issue with the script, scripting is not my field of expertise.
