Data Checker v 1.10

Wenin · #1 April 5th, 2006, 12:44 AM

Could you give the full error message? It should have told you what it was expecting. Given that information, it may have been caused by a component or Tech Area stating there was 3 Requirements, when there actually were 4 listed.

When do you get the Run-time Error?

What OS do you have?

v 1.1 will be checking the data for fields with limited valid values.

Example:
Vehicle Type in the Components.txt file

It will also give the option to create an output file listing all of your components in order by Family, though the SE Modder utility does this graphically which is far better.

The run-time error is on startup of the program (that's the full text of the error in my post below). It didn't happen until after I made a fix to one of the entries. It sounds like an internal program error from the description. Anyway I'm using XP Pro sp2.

Thanks for your testing Kwok. =)

I think I'll be expanding the data checker to Vehicles. Then I'll move over to the AI files. =)

There is an error with the new algorithm to read for valid vehicle types, likely with the overrides.

i.e.

Vechicle List Type Override := Ships, Drones
Vehicle List Type Description := Ship\Drone

Also, why not make the program allow the user to choose the path for the data folder to check rather than have it be placed in the data folder itself?

I haven't learned how to do the Browse/Open File feature for Visual Basic yet. =)

I can make it so you can type in the Path.

I'll have to check the Vehicle stuff, cause I actually think I forgot to add that.
