Re: SE4 Map analyser
 

So I was analyzing the first quadrant type in FQM Deluxe, and got an error: "Found unrecognized system type in Quadrant." What does that mean? Could it have to do with filler systems in SystemTypes.txt such as ***Standard Systems*** that do not act as actual systems, but instead as section headers for organizational purposes? Maybe the error message should display the name of the unrecognized system? Seems like a 100% useless error message without it.

Updated.

The analyser will now stop on anything other than a "type..." line.

It will report the name, the linenumber and display the entire offending line when it finds an unrecognized systemname.

Re: SE4 Map analyser
 

When I try to run the program with my Space Food Empires mod - I get the following error when trying to analyze the systemtypes.txt file:

Run-Time Error '9': Subscript out of range

It occurs before any of the system types have been analyzed (i.e. it still says 0 out of 100). I'm not sure what might be causing it.

Re: SE4 Map analyser
 

Odd.

Can you send me the files you were analysing so I can try it?

Re: SE4 Map analyser
 

The files were sent to your pbw e-mail.

The problem is that the population modifiers provided are too small to cover the largest planets.

You need to either add more, or make that last modifier 99,999 instead of merely 9999.

I have updated the program to give a better message.

Re: SE4 Map analyser
 

Thanks. It works now. My planet size file actually has smaller max populations for regular planets, although the ringworld entry (no sphereworlds) was in excess of the largest pop-modifier.

I did notice the program generates entries for none atmosphere and gas giant...?

Re: SE4 Map analyser
 

The atmosphere is what the race breathes. The surface is the colony module that the race owns.

Vaccuum breathers can get gas giant colonization, but all their planets will be domed. Thus they do get some benefit, but it is smaller than most.

Re: SE4 Map analyser
 

Duh. Makes sense. I'll try and think these things through next time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif
