Crashes on start-up.

12.146 Error ModManager.cpp:1577: Failed to load mod "space-exploration": Value (function) can't be saved in property tree at ROOT.car.se-rocket-launch-pad-_-seat.minimap_representation
stack traceback:

Edit:

Scratch that, Space Exploration just "fixed" it on their end with 0.5.98

NM, this should be fixed on the latest space exploration update. You should probably set all of your blank functions to local, as you always seem to re-define them when you use them, and blank is a fairly generic name for a global function another mod might call by mistake.

Do I just need to replace blank with local or do I need to change something in the code as well?

it should be fixed on our end, but in general if you're making a function that's only useful inside this particular file, especially if it has a generic name, make it a local
function foo (para)...
local function foo (para)...

I have only ported the mod I have no idea what the mod creator has done everything back then^^
