I am getting an error when attempting to use this. Here is the error error1.bmp Here is the line it refers to error2.bmp

Re: Tech tree viewer in the works...
 

Getting the same error, but according to Metapad line 429 is..

"Name := Space Port
Description := Facility which processes all generated resources in its system and makes them available for the empire.
Facility Group := Resource Extraction
Facility Family := 7
Roman Numeral := 0
Restrictions := None
Pic Num := 7
Cost Minerals := 6000
Cost Organics := 0
Cost Radioactives := 0 <-- right here
Number of Tech Req := 1
Tech Area Req 1 := Cargo
Tech Level Req 1 := 1
Number of Abilities := 1
Ability 1 Type := Spaceport
Ability 1 Descr := Acts as a spaceport for this system.
Ability 1 Val 1 := 0
Ability 1 Val 2 := 0
Ability 2 Type := None"

also, tried loading Proportions data. no go, "required tech area greater than max tech area". That's intential in Proportions, but looks like your loader doesn't like the concept. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Hey Lemmy,

As an alternative to distributing the app as plain Java consider performing a native compile and distributing it as an exe.

I perform win32 native compiles with Excelsior JET. It has a free Version that works quite well.

Re: Tech tree viewer in the works...
 

Oh and to answer why the error is occurring. You posted it right below!


Number of Abilities := 1
Ability 1 Type := Spaceport
Ability 1 Descr := Acts as a spaceport for this system.
Ability 1 Val 1 := 0
Ability 1 Val 2 := 0
Ability 2 Type := None"


Note the Number of Abilities says "1". There is a "Ability 2 Type" in there. So technically, the data file has an error in it. Since the parser is very unforgiving, it registers that as an error.

Edit: The workaround is of course to remove the "Ability 2 Type := None" line from the facility.txt file.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">exactly...when it says "Numberof abilities := 1" the program expects only 1 ability, that is four lines.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">hmm...i'll have to think about that one...
it's true that my program only allows compononts with "real" tech levels reqs...i'll see if i can chabnge that.

I haven't seen a reply to my error so I am listing it again.

Gandalph:
I don't see what's wrong with that particular facility, the error could be somwhere in the previous facility, maybe there's a double line in there, that usually messes the program up...

it is weird though...it really shouldn't be able to give that error at that particular line.

Re: Tech tree viewer in the works...
 

Gandalph, are you sure you have the right line? Metapad said line 429 in the same file was an entry in the SPACE PORT, not what you posted..and when I changed it got past that file
