Hi Some observations for you.
1. Why are the pictures in the tech area edit window magnified when Components, Facilities, and Component Enhancement pictures seem to be scaled properly?
|
Because I wanted a consistenly sized image control that I could cut-n-paste to editor forms. The original pictures for components, facilities and component enhancements are larger and don't need to be scaled. The pictures for tech areas are all in one .bmp file and are 36x36 each - so I just scale them to the size that other files use in order to display them.

2. I downloaded the Golden Eclipse Mod and started a game which works fine but not too far into it. But I took the time to use your editor to look at the mod.
A. Tech area - MainForm error box "An unhandeled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit, the application will shut down immediately.
Can't find Min Parent Level!"

That means that there is a technology formula used that doesn't match the expected format and the tech tree can't figure out a dependency.
Obviously, it should give an exception though and I should catch and warn about the error gracefully.
As for the rest of the errors:
The text file is using old data fields. 'weapon damage type' is from pre-1.08 and has been changed to 'weapon damage type formula' as of SEV version 1.08.
Not sure about the Unknown Requirement Parameter Type errors, but I suspect it's the same problem.
In all honesty, I'm reluctant to make the tool read older files because as the game progresses, that will get into a lot of maintenance on my part. But it sounds like I may have to do this. Ug.
Would it be possible for you to post a link to this mod here so that I can download it and test it out with the editor and fix any problems?
