Default Re: Updated Zorians

It was one of those "too much to do, too little time", and "too much stress" brain farts. I had an extra blank line in the DesignCreation file whitch prevented the program from recognizing anything located after the extra blank line.

The biggest thing I got out of this mistake was that the brain finally woke up, and I realized that these text files for the AI are not just text files, they are more of a line delimited data base, I think I understand how they are used a lot better now.

Thinking of the AI files in a line delimited database format, I was wondering if anyone around here with a good knowledge of the advanced feature of excell and the time to spare, would be willing to but together an excel workbook in a standard spreadsheet database format with auto-verifing cells to prevent incorrectly entering the fields that have to be specific values, and possibly including look-up capabilities for weapon families, and some kind of tonage calculations for ship designs to make AI ship designs more efficient, that would be able to export to a text file in a line delimited format. I would be happy to, but I have too many things to do now that I probally wouldn't get to if for a good six months.
