    Hey guys!

    I was having an issue with starcheat, giving me an error on launch that looked like:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "C:\Python34-x64\lib\site-packages\cx_Freeze\initscripts\Console.py", line 27, in <module>
    File "build\starcheat.py", line 74, in <module>
    File "build\starcheat.py", line 71, in main
    File "build\gui\mainwindow.py", line 67, in __init__
    File "build\gui\utils.py", line 95, in check_index_valid
    File "build\gui\utils.py", line 57, in build_assets_db
    File "build\assets.py", line 228, in find_assets
    File "build\assets.py", line 234, in scan_modpak
    File "build\starbound\helpers.py", line 213, in open
    File "build\starbound\helpers.py", line 220, in read_stream
    File "build\starbound\btreedb4.py", line 119, in initialize
    File "build\starbound\sbbf02.py", line 89, in initialize
    AssertionError: Invalid file format

    So I went and found out what the problem is. Turns out, some mods still have some old shit from enraged koala (or just aren't compatible with starcheat)

    So to fix:
    1. Close any instances of starcheat
    2. Go to %appdata%\starcheat
    3. Delete "assets.db" and "starcheat.ini"
    4. Go to your Starbound/giraffe_storage/mods/ folder and move/delete any incompatible mods
    5. Try opening starcheat again

    List of incompatible mods:
    • Skyrail Sits Mod

    If you find any more mods incompatible with starcheat, please post below and I'll add it to the above list.

    What version is this? I'm using 0.18.0 and no problems so far, even with mods.

    0.19
    I haven't had any problems up until installing Skyrail, and I had heard somewhere there were some other mods with problems... Do you have the Skyrail Sits mod?

    Did you rebuild the assets, or whatever it's called?

    I have CES and Skyrail Sits mod, and no problems thus far with StarCheat.

    I had the same issue when choosing "yes" and "no" to rebuilding assets.

    StarCheat works perfectly until (and this is the only thing I do) I put the Skyrail Sits mod in... Perhaps it's a bug introduced in 0.19 (and you're not getting it because you're still at 0.18?)

    I'm running 0.19, with skyrail sits. This is strange. Try re-downloading skyrail?

    You are? Hmm.. Alright, I'll try redownloading the mod. Strange :s

    Are you using 1.4.1 of skyrail sits or 1.4.1.2?

    EDIT: Redownloading and everything both starcheat and skyrail sits didn't fix it.. Still having the error. This is really strange... :s

    Going to attempt skyrail + starcheat on my other machine, see if it gives me the same error.

    I can confirm that this problem occurs with 0.19.

    Does not happen with 0.18.1

    Good to know I'm not alone, at least ;3;

    Guessing it had something to do with the tech equipping changes... Doing anything with techs still breaks my characters regardless of the 0.19 changes. So I'm going to revert to 0.18.1 for the sake of being able to use skyrail... I can manually edit the .ini to have the right starbound folder.

    Rejoice!

    Starcheat 0.19.1 got released.
    And the problem is gone.
