well, i tried that yesterday, i made a simple map with one system, saved it in two files, test.map and test2.map, and then compared them, guess what, they weren't the same

Cyrien,

The error you were getting was no big deal. A simple typo between object 7 and 8 in the Systemtypes.txt. Here's the correction.

Yah I picked it up myself going back through (don't you hate it when your brain goes too far ahead of your typing speed).

Then I made several more and had to redo those. Makes things more interesting.

So far though my biggest triumph is in finding different ways of generating range check errors.

Looks like this is a job that needs to be painstakingly done by hand or accept the naturual failures in the system. Or get MM to code something new in.

I'll look for a little more as I have a few more ideas but I don't think anything is really going to come of it. We shall see though.
