SJ's Tech Gridder 0.50 - now with ability support!

[Krsqk]

Okay, I'm assuming this is a typo, but...When I select a file in the "select a file" box, a dialog box pops up declaring "Now gridding components found in: c:\blahblahblahblah\blah.txt" The odd part is, it says the same thing whether it's a .txt file, an .exe file, a .lnk file, etc...Is it supposed to say "New gridding components" or "No gridding components"?

[Suicide Junkie]

No, it means "Now I will look at the components contained in this file, and grid whatever I see"

Its only once you press the "Grid this tech" button, will it complain about not finding any components...

I should test the file for components earlier.

And change the message so it is more clear.

Well, SJ is now #1 on my most-despised people list. I'm up to a 35.4 MB component file--that's for one 6-D tech @ 5 levels each. Only 15 or so more to go. At least it RARs down to ~162 KB. Obviously, I'm going to have to scale this down a little bit.

[Fyron]

There is no need to scale it down! Make it as large as necessary.

[Krsqk]

Yes, but we little ordinary peons (or PEoN) who have dialup have to suffer through all this. Maybe I'll have to break it up into 5 separate downloads.

One other suggestion: allow modifying the tech level increase as with the other options. Maybe I want to have something happen every other level (actually, I do). Or every *1.28 levels. Or every ^2 levels.
