Re: SE4 Modder Ver 1.76 (updated for ver 1.91)
 

Hi DavidG,

Since 1.84 is out you haven't released a new Version of the SE4 Modder. And there have been some minor changes, like the added two targeting types (Ships/Planets/Sat and Ships/Planets/Sat/Drones). Could you release a new Version of your great Modding Tool?

BTW, I've been busy on the 2.0 Version of the B5Mod and all I used was your SE4 Modder, it's really great! Keep up the good work.

Edit: Ehh... I don't know how to tell you this, but I've been looking with my nose. I didn't see your signature before I posted. OOPS!! Sorry mate, my humble apologies. Must have had too much sleep.

The Damage At Range grid has a slight but confusing discrepency. The 3 range (and possibly the one beneath it, I didn't think to check) is the only square that isn't wide enough to display a 4 digit damage value. So, for example, the P&N Massive shield generator shows up as:
2000, 2000, 200, 2000, 2000, etc. etc. etc.

It's not until you try to change the damage value in range 3 that you realize that it's already set at 2000, it just can't display all 4 digits. Then you send in a bug report to the mod author, and they reply that everything is as it should be, and you get all embarrassed and humiliated at your stupid mistake, etc. etc. etc. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Just a little FYI for ya. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

edit: my keyboard can't spell.

Thanks for the feed back. I actually though the program was totally 1.84 compatible. I guess I'd better review the 1.84 history and see if there is anything else I missed. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Does the modder crash for anyone else when they minimize it? (I have WinXP)

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It doesn't for me and I use WinXP pro. Perhaps there is some sort of conflict or the mod data is bad etc...

DavidG: I'm much impressed by 1.72 - you've sure added lots of stuff. Excellent work! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: SE4 Modder Ver 1.76 (updated for ver 1.91)
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">hehe thanks. Just so no one gets too exciting Ver 1.7 was the major upgrade. Ver 1.71 and 1.72 were really just minor bug fixes.

I tested the minimuize thing on ME and no problems. I'll have to try it on my other compter with XP too.

Re: SE4 Modder Ver 1.76 (updated for ver 1.91)
 

Yes indeed this is a great program.

Re: SE4 Modder Ver 1.76 (updated for ver 1.91)
 

I'm using the SE4 Modder 1.72, and there is a problem viewing vehicle sizes in some mods.

It will show a list of all the entries, but when I click on one of them I get a "Run-time error '380': Invalid property value". I click Okay and it closes the program.

I've compared the vehiclesizes.txt file for all the mods this effects and compared them with other mods that work properly. I can't make out any difference.

The mods this error affects are the:
AST Mod
Adamant Mod
B5 Mod
Star Trek Mod
Rock-Paper-Scissors Mod

There's no error for the:
Stock Data Files
Eclipse Mod
Devnull Mod Gold
Proportions Mod
BOD Mod
Pirates&Nomads Mod
Highliner Mod
StarWars Mod II
Stormcrow Mod

I can't figure it out.

I pasted entries from the affected datafiles into ones that worked, and they worked. I eyeballed them side-by-side, and they're all set up just fine.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">(just to put things back in this thread :-) )

Yes I believe there is a simple work around to this. The slider bar on the Component pics defaults to a max on 900. IF you double click on the pic to bring up the thumbnail pics the slider bar max gets reset when you close it.

Re: SE4 Modder Ver 1.76 (updated for ver 1.91)
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">hehe you could look at these mods forever and not figure out the difference. Which is <drum roll...> They all have a race with pics files named like "_Portrait_frigate" as opposed to "_portrait" (lower case 'p') Seems my program was searching for the lower case Version when looking for the vehicle pic to display. Could explain some of the other porblems in the vehicle page. Like the pic name being listed twice.

I'll try to get a fix done in the next couple of days.
