Modding QuadrantTypes.txt question
 

I don't see this answered in the FAQ or the modding tutorial, maybe someone else has run into this and can confirm it for me.

I'm trying to mod a quadrant type with more than 100 system types, and it doesn't seem to want to let me. When add the 101st system type to the quadrantypes file it stops loading into the game or the map editor.

It's just a little odd because my expeience with SE4 is that the cutoffs are usually numbers like 99 or 999 when you have to add another digit, or 255 or something like that that has some kind of computary reason. 100 seems like kind of an arbitrary number for a hard coded limit, and I haven't run into too many of those before when modding the game.

Anybody else try modding more than 100 systemtypes before and run into this?

Re: Modding QuadrantTypes.txt question
 

Ok, posting the data files. The quadrantype is currently set to 101 system types. If I set it to 100 it will load, but when it's set to 101 it won't load for some reason.

I have 100 quadrant types in my Space Food Empires mod, but haven't tried 101 - perhaps Fyron can shed some light on this, I'm sure FQM Deluxe has more than 100 quadrant types...

Re: Modding QuadrantTypes.txt question
 

We seem to have determined that SE4 will allow up to 300 system types in a quadrant. It crashes rather ungracefully upon hitting "new game" wih 301 system types in a system.

Totally unrelated question- How the hell do you get your name to appear in black? I have seen at least one person with a black name who was not a moderator, so how come you have a black name?

Re: Modding QuadrantTypes.txt question
 

Who's name is black that is not a moderator?

We emailed the issue to Aaron and he says it is now fixed for the next patch...

Gandalf Parker, IIRC.

Re: Modding QuadrantTypes.txt question
 

If I am not mistaken Gandalf Parker is part of Shrapnel. I forget what it is exactly he does for them. I could be mistaken though.

Or...

He may not be a mod in this particular forum, but perhaps he is elsewhere?

Re: Modding QuadrantTypes.txt question
 

He is a moderator for Dominions forums.

I never noticed my name was a different color. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
