Mod Pack 1.00 Posted

[Tampa_Gamer]

Ok, so far one type of error is being reported with Mod Pack 1.00, an intermittent index error that was reported by two people. I am in the process of isolating this problem - but I need everyone's help WHO IS CURRENTLY USING THE MOD PACK. What would really help me is if you could please reply with the following info:

(1) What type of game you are playing with the Mod Pack (i.e. TL start, racial points used, type of galaxy, etc.)

(2) What races are you using from the Mod Pack or if the computer added any from the Mod Pack

(3) Whether you have encountered any errors. Report even if you haven't b/c this will help isolate the error.

(4) Whether you modified any of your components or facilities.

Thanks in advance for your help!

TG,

I received the index error using the Mod Pack 1. Large, Mid-Life Quad, Max Empires Max Neutrals. The error occured after about sixty turns during the Darlok's move (At war with them). I was able to remove the error by replacing all the Darlok AI files from Mod Pack 1 with the files from your previous Darlok Mod Pack (1.31). I have run an additional twenty turns with no errors.

I hope this helps.

OK. Great news everybody - Mephisto caught a spelling error in my construction_facilities file that we hope is causing the index error. Spelling is really not my strong point!! - for now on I promise to spell check my files prior to posting Here is the replacement file. Please post here and tell us whether it works or not.

Thanks

I keep getting an index error after simulating combat between 2 of my own ships.
I never had this happen before the mod.

For those of you that didn't download Version 1.00 yet, the patch files posted in this thread were included in the 1.01 Version posted over in the download section today. The only change between these two Versions was the correction of the spelling error (in the Darlok construction_facility file) and spacing error (in the Darlok politics file) discussed below.


EZ - that is a wierd one. Do you have any other modified files which would be causing it?

I fixed the Darlok files and simulated combat again without an error.

Small feedback on Mod 1.00 Pack:

Good news: Earth Alliance AI builds Atmospheric Modification Plants.
Bad News: It builds them also on Oxygen planets, that need no atmospheric modification for their population.

But besides this, great improvement. I like the heavy use of the units by the Earth Alliance very much. Thank you for your great work.
