Re: Space Empires V Editor 1.2 Released
 

Downloading it now. You're right - it's slow http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif But I wouldn't mind playing it in any case, so I don't mind. Hopefully this will also allow me to fix a few problems in the editor as well, though.

Re: Space Empires V Editor 1.2 Released
 

OK, I finally got a chance to download this mod and test it in the editor. I get this same behavior in the facilities file.

The reason for this is because of the following lines in facilities.txt:
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
Requirement 1 Type := Number Per Player
Requirement 1 Name := None
Requirement 1 Amount := 0
</pre><hr />
and various lines like it.

I've never seen any other file use Requirement Type, Requirement Name, or Requirement Amount. I'm not sure what these are supposed to do or why they're in the file.

Does anyone know if these are legitimate entries and if they do anything?

In any case, you're correct that even if it gets these errors, it shouldn't make the whole file unreadable, so I'll work on making the editor handle this error more gracefully for the next release.

Opening up components, I get errors like the following:

line 3333: Input string was not in a correct format.

When I look at the line, I see this:

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
Weapon Space At Range Distance Increment := 10.0 + (Get_Empire_Tech_Level("Magnetic Acceleration") * 10)
</pre><hr />

As far as I know, unless the line has a "Formula" at the end, it can't accept formula-type strings. Is this particular line special? Is it legal to have a formula here?
