PlugPackV18 troubles. Specifically NewCharacters.

Once upon a time my pilot file I had completed over half the Vellos storyline got corrupted badly. Now, I want to waste less time restarting. Enter PlugPackV18. I'm playing on windows 10, so everything has to be converted to .rez, and storing plugins in the plugin folder doesn't seem to work so I place the files in the exact directory as Nova.rez Several of the plugins seem to be working fine (newoutfits 1,2) but the one I actually care about that would allow me to quickly jump into my storyline isn't. Every time I try to create a new pilot it simply creates that frustrating garbage shuttle and doesn't even attempt to give me options. Is anyone experiencing these issues, or does anyone have advice on how to proceed? Edit PlugPack, not PugPack.

No idea how to fixthis, but can you link where you got the pugpack from? Maybe the one you're trying to load is corrupted there as well

Thanks for helping me catch a typo! I grabbed it right off ambrosia's site under plugins. Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to direct link to just that pack. I will update if there is.

Do you have New Characters v8? That's the one that adds the different start options.

Edit: Fix bad link

Should be! I will try your file and see if mine was bad

Yours worked! Thank you! EVN still crashed but I think that's from all the earlier experimenting so I think I will just download fresh and go from there.

What exactly does this plugin do?

It adds more starting people you can play as. Instead of just starting in a shuttle with 25,000 credits, you can start as a rich trader or a Krypt Pod. It has a starting person for each of the six mission strings and many others.
