Greetings, don't know if this has been reported before but here it is.
I was playing a game of the latest TDM mod (3.30) and I got the following error just after the message that combat will occur, but before the intial combat screen where you choose strategic / tactical. After I clicked (close) for the error window there was no combat.

Any input on what happened and what I can do about it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ok, I got the same error again, but it occured during the movement turn of the AI forces, no combat was initiated. So that may have been a "red herring" (eg. misleading information).

Check the strategies text file for the Orks AI to see if they have the Long Weapons Range strategy in them.

[Mephisto]

It seems that you are using the Orks with not all of their files or something like this. I have seen on the other thread that you had problems with the TDM path. Did the errors occur before or after you fixed the problem?

[Atraikius]

I haven't seen those errors for a long time, and thought that I had them fixed. Along with Mephisto's suggestion, could you let me know:

1. Were they included in the game using an empire file, or randomly selected.

2. If using an empire file, which one were you using (name and file date).

Thanks

I believe that I only got those errors when I was playing a saved game which was not correctly loaded. I have played many more hours with a correctly loaded game and have had no problems.

I was using a just created race for the game, all other races were defaults that came in the Mod. I only specified one race on the game creation page (mine). The others were put in via the computer somehow (not sure how, or if they use empire files, or are random).

I will assume the error was due to me not knowing how to load saved games when using mods (just past my first week of playing SEIV). If I see the error again I will take lots of notes about the game state.

Thanks for your help and suggestions.
