Question for Schrapnel/Malfador on new patch...

pathfinder · #1 December 21st, 2000, 03:33 AM

I got a series of error Messages when I started a new game earlier....their were so many I couldn't copy them by hand and was unable to copy/paste. If my memory is ok, they mostly dealt with not finding certain AI settings. Do ya'll want me to re-create and make a stab at getting these error Messages?

Are you using modified game files?

nope, i just tried with a default race--Terran and got the series again....AI settings....error Messages say can't find various files with these....only non-default I have is Rambies B5 shipset but I didn't use it this Last try.

Guess I could hand copy these 6 message boxes (6-8 errors each) if need be.

The gameplay doesn't seem too different, except now cargo boxes don't seem to hold satellites or mines

.

But I wasn't more than 50 or so turns into the game.

I did a fresh un-install/re-install and that cleared it up. I suspect it was the two merchant races I had set up on my own. hehe, guess I'll have some fun re-setting them. *shrug* no biggie.

However, when I make a custome race (ie not default) I get these error Messages. My guess is I am supposed to make these AI settings for the new race. uhm, I really do NOT like to do programming myself, so tweaking all those files is NOT my idea of fun

I am having a similar problem. When I start a new game and let the computer generate empires I get a message box stating that an AT settings error has occurred and that the Personality Group in Settings could not be found. This does not occur with any of my own created races, even if the computer is running them, nor does it do it with neutral races. I checked in the settings folder and that file does exist, so I am at a loss what to do next. So far though it has not affected game play. Any suggestions from anyone.
