Tech tree viewer in the works...

No I don't think that the game accepts blank lines in the middle of a component definition or multiple blank lines (or it interpretes that like a premature EOF).
IIRC the double weapon display was a bug in components.txt fixed many patchs ago, the file I'm trying to load (sci-fi x-over mod's) does not have any of those errors.

Lemmy I'd like to see your program too. I think that windows or IE install a java vm, so you can expect most Users to have it.

don't forget to edit se4tv.ini first...

Can't get the loader to do anything. It goes Java Main- Bad command and file name, then farts out.. I edited the .ini file, and I think I have Java installed.

EDIT: just downloaded and installed the MS java VM. no effect.

hmm, i know what wrong with that, the MS JVM odesn't have the java command, but "jview", that file is located in the c:\windows dir, so all you have to do is replace "java" with "c:\windows\jview" in the bat file.
(eidt: jview could be somewhere else if you downloaded it, just serach for it then)

But then you'll get another error, called java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, for which i got no solution yet...
I suggest downloading the Sun JVM..i can't find the link yet...it's somwhere on java.sun.com, i'll post it when i find it..

I am getting an error when attempting to use this. Here is the error error1.bmp Here is the line it refers to error2.bmp

Getting the same error, but according to Metapad line 429 is..

"Name := Space Port

Facility Group := Resource Extraction
Facility Family := 7

also, tried loading Proportions data. no go, "required tech area greater than max tech area". That's intential in Proportions, but looks like your loader doesn't like the concept.
