PBW supports v1.20

I'm getting errors when I try to run this turn offline:

Could not load file: C:\ProgramFiles\Strategy First\Malfador Machinations\SE5\pictures\phong\phong_flag_texture .bmp

Could not load file: C:\ProgramFiles\Strategy First\Malfador Machinations\SE5\pictures\phong\phong_flag_texture _ship.bmp

Could not load file: C:\ProgramFiles\Strategy First\Malfador Machinations\SE5\pictures\phong\phong_flag_texture _fleet.bmp

Could not load file: C:\ProgramFiles\Strategy First\Malfador Machinations\SE5\pictures\phong\phong_flag_set.bmp

I'm confused.

I presume other games with the phong set in them are working?

Is "ProgramFiles" supposed to be missing the space on this machine? That may be the problem...

Certainly strange because I'm using the Drushocka ship set with the Ayres Rock flags.
Also the Phong flag pictures are suppose to be in the ..\Space Empires V\Empires\Phong directory.
se5a - where you perhaps using the Phong ship set?

I don't know.

That's simply a typo I did when recording the error message.

That's why I'm confused. I thought it would pull the flags from the empires\phong directory. To be honest I'm not clear what the purpose of the Pictures/flags directory is.

Something is funky with both yor empires in this game. There's another SE5 kth game between exolis and parabolize that is processing turns ok using 1.20 and balance mod 1.01.

When I try to load your game I don't see empire logos in the list for either of you. In the other koth game I do.

When I try to create a new game usign your empires I don't see an empire logo. Using the empire files from the other game I do.

When I modify Se5a's empire, I don't know the password for the grazic empire, it appears on my machine as if it was created without a shipset, flag or race pic. If I edit and try to save without doing anything it won't let me save it because these selections are missing.

I repeat, I'm confused.

Grazic gave me his empire password and it has a similer problem. In his case there is a shipset and race pic selected, but no logo. I hit edit and change nothing and it won't let me save it.

All I can guess is there must be something setup differently on your pc's than mine. I don't know that that would be though.

I've PMed my password.
I just confirmed by empire setup and I'm using the Drushocka ship set, AyersRock flags & Terran Race pictures.
Sorry for the trouble.
I wonder if Parabolize had any problem setting the game up?

Crossed posts.
Would it be possible to download the flags onto the PBW server and see if that makes a difference?

If it does that would mean PBW would need all shipsets and flags, which SE IV didn't. At least I didn't think it did.

Ok, I didn't have the error exactly right, here's what it said:

Could not load file: C:\Program Files\Strategy First\Malfador Machinations\SE5\pictures\flags\phong\phong_flag_t exture.bmp

I added a phong folder under pictures/flags and copied the phong flag bitmaps to it. The turn runs fine on PBW now.

So obviously this is how you've got things setup on your machines? But what I don't understand is why.
