Any word on the RCE's in the ME

[Atrocities]

I can't build anything with the ME. Everytime I try to do something I get a RCE.

I will send the file to MM if any one thinks it will help.

All I did was GENERATE a map.
When I tried to edit a planet, I got a RCE.
I shut it down and tried it again. Same thing.

After trying differant things for an hour, I gave up. Sorry to say this, but me thinks the ME is still broken.

Are you sure you didn't delete a system... even before generating the map... I've gotten RCE's that way.


OHHHH, wait a minute, I seem to recall someone posting that if you use anything but Ancient and mid-life (I think), with over 150 systems set in systems.txt it generates a RCE... could that be the reason?

Atrocities: Did ya change the planet name? If ya do, you'll get RCE/Access errors unless you keep the Roman numeral after whatever you change the planet name to. I found that out the hard way myself.

As an example I changed the name of a system to Sol then added the actual planet names. When I named Sol I to Mercury, I would get RCE until I changed name to Mercury I.

Hope this helps.

I deleted warp points and a few planets. I did not attempt to rename them as I recalled reading about RCE's being cuased by that. You know what, I have been up over 24 hours now. I am beat. I'm going to bed now. Thanks for the help guys. You all have a great day.

What is RCE? Some kind of Run Time Error?

What is ME? Map Editor?

RCE = Range Check Error
