Default Re: Mephisto: Mod Question

Eagleton, the world is so small. I could drive to you in 20 minutes. Funny.

Anyway, the Range Check Errors seem to be connected to a high number of units (or even ships but I never ever had hundreds of ships...). As the EA uses fighters in large numbers, it maybe prone to some RCEs. Altering the files after you already encountered the RCE doesn't help as the AI already has the fighters. Besides it only happens to me in strategic combat. A "solution" is to jump into the EA and fight this one fight without fighters or at least a smaller number of them.
Does this error occur to you in tactical or only in strategic combat? (I saw that it happened to Eagleton in strategic combat)
To me it only happens in strategic combat, too. I sometime have the felling that a unit is hit and destroyed in combat and then again hit causing a RCE as the unit is already deleted.

I meant that I used the EA as a computer player, au contraire to Atrocities who did not use the AI but had a range check error with your mod (means when he himself was the EA).
I did not use your mod but the EA script you wrote.
When I got into combat with another race and some EA ships were in the same sector by coincidence, the range check error did occur (strategic combat, there was one carrier and one or two attack ships of the EA).

I looked into your EA-AI and now changed the minimum number of fighters, because you had set them really high. As my victory conditions were fulfilled soon after the range check error, I don't know if that helped.

Best wishes,
Volker
