1.78 problem?

[dumbluck]

In the error message, it tells you which lines are missing, doesn't it?

Ahhhh, home!

Here are the lines I add to race_ai_settings.txt. They get me past all of those errors:

Ships don't move through minefields := false
Ships don't move through restricted systems := false
Clear orders on encounter enemy := false
Clear orders on encounter all := false
Percentage of total satellites to keep as planetary cargo := 40
Percentage of total drones to keep as planetary cargo := 40
Number Of Anti-Ship Drones Per Target := 3
Number Of Anti-Planet Drones Per Target := 3
Maximum Anti-Ship Drone Target System Distance := 5
Maximum Anti-Planet Drone Target System Distance := 5

Obviously, you can change the values to you liking, but these should get the errors to stop appearing. Good luck!

Well, like I said, it said such and such error occurred. So I compared a race that wasn't giving me an error to the race that was, and I discovered that several lines were missing from the older race. So I just copied the lines from the new race to the older one, and no more errors occurred.

Even though error Messages disappear, AI is still deficient (it is apparently pre-Gold). For example it will not use drones. You can copy all AI files (exept for AI_general.txt) from some Gold adjusted race (from TDM for example) with same race traits. It should improve race' AI dramaticaly.

I just encountered a problem with the map editor.
A friend tried to set specific starting locations
for a new email game, but the editor is changing
modified planet values (such as atmosphere) back
to the original settings. Did somebody else stumble upon this or is there a solution to this?

Is it the editor, or is it just the game changing homeworld values when the game starts?

[bigdread]

It's the editor. It's just not saving the changed values. Btw, off topic: do you have any suggestion on how to achieve my goal (distributing fair starting locations and making sure everybody's starting on their planet type/atmosphere - We don't want randomized starting loc.) Thanks
