Components editor:
would it be possible to add a "Save anyway" box to the list of errors when saving?

Yes, though I'm a little leery of doing so as I have no idea what will be written at that point and I don't want to ruin the users data files.

Also, the error list pops up twice when you try to save when errors are present.

hmm, hadn't noticed that. I'll look into it.

Weapon Damage Type formulas aren't working properly. The editor can't, for example, handle the stock Plague Bomb damage type forumla.

I've tested it on the stock data and it didn't have any errors. Are you sure it's barfing on a stock formula? Can you paste the formula here?

Quote:

Weapon Min/Max Damage formula isn't handling some forumlas right. For the Flak cannon, the forumla is:

iif([%Range%] <= 100, (50 + (([%Level%] - 1) * 5)) - ([%Range%] * 0.8), 0)

which is correct. The parser doesn't read it correctly, however, and says "Invalid parameter count. The function iif requires 3 parameter(s)."

The first parameter is 100, the second is (([%Level%] - 1) * 5)) - ([%Range%] * 0.8), the third is 0.
The formula parser needs some work, I think. It mostly works, but sometimes gives strange results. I'm going to be revamping it a bit in Version 1.2 and hopefully I'll fix all the little glitches in it.
