Index error after loading Mod pack

Jason2 · #1 January 26th, 2001, 01:56 AM

I clicked on the "Ship" icon to see the orders I had given my fleet and received an "Index Error" which froze the game.

I have never had this happen pre-Mod. Any ideas??

Jason2:

This problem was brought up yesterday. Tampa_Gamer told me he was working on it but has not yet been able to reproduce the problem. I would just uninstall the mod until they can fix it. From past issues, Tampa_Gamer usually has this fixed within a couple of days.

There is a lot of information on this board. I would make a habit of reading all the Posts from the Last couple of days to find answers before you post a question. But this board is great because you can post a question and get results. I hope this helps you Jason2, and just give Tamap_Gamer a few days.

Jason2 - If you have a save game you could e-mail at ctraber@ngn-tampa.com that would help a lot. Could you give specifics (i.e. what type of galaxy, computer player setup, starting tech level, starting racial points, etc.) this will help pinpoint where the problem is.

Tampa, what if there is no save game? I have gotten aan RCE twice while in the race design/edit menu (changing attributes of the Brachyura). No save game as the agme hadn't started. BTW I did send in a bug report but the info was rather schetchy I am afraid.

What stopped the RCE's was deleting the existing .emp file for the Brachyura and making a new one.

Pathfinder- I guess I never experienced one while in "create game" process. Wow. However, I did get an invalid .emp file one time when I had modified a data file and not "re-saved" the .emp file after a starting a new game with the new data.

Jason2- Have you modified any of the data/tech files that could be causing the error?
