Shipset/Race Errors
 

Does anyone else get 17 to 25 of these everytime they open a game turn using shipsets downloaded from PBW?

Is it because I'm downloading and copying into the wrong directories? or are there quite a few AI files out there with errors in them...

Some shipsets are fine, others are like this. The Breen and Sonne are the two biggest offenders.

Re: Shipset/Race Errors
 

Are you getting errors just opening and playing your own turn for a PBW game? They may be older style shipsets that don't have all the neccesary lines in the AI_Settings files. If you are playing turns, like for a solo game, or processing a PBW turn offline then the shipsets may be missing strategies.

If the problem is old (pre-Gold) shipsets, the instructions for fixing them are linked in my sig.

Capn, if a gold compatible shipset is used with pre-gold SE4, does it generate errors because of the presence of those lines? If not maybe we could go through and patch all the shipsets in the PBW file library. I'll bet someone could write a program that would go thorough and do it automatically. All it would need to do is unzip, edit the AI text files and zip it back up again.

You can get the shipset archive from my SE4 files tracker, which has over 240 shipset, all patched to be gold-compatible. It has most of the shipsets out there.

There was an effort to identify these ship sets that had out dated Ai and fix them, but I do not know how it turned out. I guess it never turned out.

Isnt that if you download BitTorrent to get it
and download a RAR unpacker to install it?

You have to be logged into PBW before you can download files from it. You can view the same file on ModWorks *here*.

Presuming you don't already have those...
They're almost basic net tools these days.

You can go and get them the slow HTTP/ZIP way, but why would you unless you're forced to?
