How To Clear Logbook (It's Crashing)

[MysticalFists]

Howdy,
Whenever I click on the logbook my current game crashes. It's my own fault. I have 3 mods writing to it (DumpingWares, Tatertrader, and Trade Buy Notifications) and after having left the game running overnight, I can no longer access the logbook. Is there a way to clear the logbook without being able to access the logbook itself? I am fine editing my savegame to do this, as long as I knew what I'm looking for lol.

Version: 2.50 English Modified
Mods: Advanced Satellite Range, Dumping Wares, Sphereical Long Range Scan, Tatertrader, Trade Buy Notifications
Start: Argon with 10k
Issue: Loaded new mods that write to logbook. After running overnight, opening logbook causes instant crash to desktop.

Since this is a request about and resulting from game mods, it can go over to the S&M forum.

When I tried making entries too large the log would fail to display.

Unitrader guessed some invalid text entry.

Thanks Alan, wasn't sure where to post it. Yeah, my issue is definitely due to the mods I was running

Did you ever find a way to clear or fix your log? I could go back to a previous save, but I just kept playing so now I'm about 24 more hours past when the issue occurred. Was hoping I could locate my log in the save game and simply erase the entire thing, lol.

We do try to prevent the game crashing, even if caused by mods, so it may be worth hosting such savegames. Of course, it'll probably get investigated after more high-priority issues, but you never know.

The logbook entries are under the <log> node in the save xml file.

Thanks XS!
(Let me try to not waste Dev time)

POTENTIAL FIX FOR LOG CRASHES

• Went to game settings and turned off Save Game Compression.

• Loaded my corrupted save with log that caused crash to desktop.

• Re-saved the game uncompressed.

• Load uncompressed saved.

Once my game was loaded from an uncompressed save, I was able to open the logbook without issue. Cleared the logbook and saved it again. At this point I could also turn compression back on as the issue itself was resolved. I also uninstalled Trade Buy Notifications and edited DumpingWares (since it also writes a lot of into about every station to the log). Not sure what mod may have actually caused the issue, but it's resolved now. Thanks everyone!~
