Default To Atrocities: Problems with your races/shipsets

when trying to creat a massive Star Trek Game, (using all of your ST races/shipsets, I get the following error from several of the races (not sure which ones, I will go test it individually.

Error reads:

could not find field "Percentage of fleets to use for defense" in record "Fleet Settings"

Could you please tell me how to fix this error? Thank you!

Sincerely,
MHSJROTCCADET

Find the same line in an existing race's fleet settings text file and copy and paste into all the ST race's files and save. This should alleviate the problem of the missing line of code.

could you please be a little more specific on what I need to do, for instance where does the line of code go?

Here are the races with the problem

Star Trek STNG
Star Trek TMP
Ferengi
Rogue Fleet
The Borg
The Cardassians

also it appears that several of the races don't use the correct Picture Set

The only one I can think of right now is the Cardassians, who use the Starwolf Fleet Pictures. Hope this helps you!

ok figured out the code by myself, and am no longer getting that error, however there is still the problem of mismatching pictures sets, course I can just go to the editor and manually select the picture set and save it.

This happened to me on Friday and I'm not at home so I'm trying to dredge this from memory:

Do a find for the line "Percentage of fleets to use for defense" in the Fleet_settings.txt file for a race that came with the game (do a search for this file in Windows Explorer). The line should be correct there (copy line). Find the corresponding paragraph in the corresponding file for the affected race and paste in the appropriate place.

As for the incorrect picture set, it may be that the original error causes the file to be read incorrectly. I'd delete the added civilization from the game and re-add it once the text error is resolved.

Also: make certain that the other text files that came with the mod are in their respective folders.

Hope this helps a little. My memory ain't what it use ta be, never was.
