Or try a different unzip program like WinRAR or 7zip.

No... what I meant was it does work now. Lol, reading my post again does indeed make it look a bit silly. I just tested the MIRVs and they are great! Well done on making this.

I believe I found the cause of this. I got the same problem when launching the SM from the desktop shortcut I created, but it works just fine directly from the BSF folder.

Either way, this happens because the .dll files are missing or your OS is preventing read/write access to them. Vista and Win7 can prevent access to the .dlls if they're in the wrong place and you've got a normal user account.

So,all the 4.470 DLLs in the System32 folder are in the wrong place? Sh@#%$!

In the next version, could you make it so the aegis doesn't make the hit section bulge? It looks ugly, I don't think anybody likes it, and it's frustrating when trying to simulate shields.

Well of course, I could just run a nanomatrix on it, but it just isn't the same.

I certainly could.

Doesn't mean I will, or that I have any interest in wrestling with that particular portion of the code, mind you.

Oho! Just got some of the same error codes myself...Mega frustration :cry: The ship works fine in preview mode, gets more errors than you could shake a cat o' nine tails at in sandbox. Given the experience of Preacher, I now feel a little better about my own shortcomings...

Hmmm experience? lol, Im currently attempting to replicate STARSTRUCK's nice Viking shields and this error only seems to come up when using ships with that sheild system, it seems that MIRV doesn't like aegis colour being set to near black and the target sections colour being set to black, from there a massive series of errors occurs leading up to the GUI failing and eventual game crashing :(, of course i can just set section alpha to 0 instead of making it black so not much of a problem.

This right here. This is your problem, you twit. I thought this was common knowledge, but you cannot set a section to 0,0,0 RGB. You can get away with 1,1,1, but not 0,0,0.
