SE4 Modder Ver 1.76 (updated for ver 1.91)

DavidG · #1 February 5th, 2003, 01:56 PM

Just posted a new Version.

This is a very minor update that I mostly posted because of a bug that would crash the program when looking at a warhead.

Re: Phoenix-D's problem with the "Cannot create directory" I still can't figure out this one. the only think I can suggest would be to create a directory called "Data_Backup" in the mod the program is defualting to.

Updates.
- fixed bug that would cause crash when looking at warhead
- Open comand should work now
- Can add 100 ships to a formation
- Create Family function should put things in correct order in txt file.
- Treeview no longer autocloses as this was causeing clicking on the treeview to jump to somthing other than what you clicked on.

Thanks for a great program!
Could you or someone please tell me what the

Thanks

Comp Family Req = Component Family Requirement: A comma separated list of the component families which can use this mount. If this field is not present, then all families can use this mount.

This way you can make a mount available for only a specific set of components.

So I've been adding support for the Settings.txt file to my program and I thought it would be cool if I can add some kind of automatic function that would create a whole load of population modifiers. The only problem is I can't really think of a function that would do a good job of this. Anyone got any ideas?

Whatever you do, do not use SuicideJunkie's P&N pop modifiers! I hate them!!!

Perhaps something using ln for every 10M?

Great program. It's been really useful so far and I've only used it to pick component features and calculate tech costs.

I did find a weird bug though. Military Science isn't being counted in the tech costs. Combat Sensors costs 425000 research to max; ECM is only listed as needing 375000. Torpedos and point-defense weapons are similarly affected, as are the Ship Training and Fleet Training facilities; anything that has military science as a pre-requisite.

As far as I can tell, it is limited to only the mil sci tech area not being counted toward research costs.

Huh?? ditto on the wierd. Right you are though PD should cost 55000 to get to level 1 not 5000. Have to look into it

Edit: Aww crap this problem goes much deeper than just Military Science... Doh!

Edit2: Ok got it fixed now. Although I'm really not sure why the error I found didn't bugger up other things. I really should document my code better.

Now all I gotta do is finish the other stuff I was working on and post a new Version.
