Shipset/Race Errors
Does anyone else get 17 to 25 of these everytime they open a game turn using shipsets downloaded from PBW?
Is it because I'm downloading and copying into the wrong directories? or are there quite a few AI files out there with errors in them...
Some shipsets are fine, others are like this. The Breen and Sonne are the two biggest offenders.
Thanks,

Re: Shipset/Race Errors
Are you getting errors just opening and playing your own turn for a PBW game? They may be older style shipsets that don't have all the neccesary lines in the AI_Settings files. If you are playing turns, like for a solo game, or processing a PBW turn offline then the shipsets may be missing strategies.

Re: Shipset/Race Errors
If the problem is old (pre-Gold) shipsets, the instructions for fixing them are linked in my sig.

Re: Shipset/Race Errors
Capn, if a gold compatible shipset is used with pre-gold SE4, does it generate errors because of the presence of those lines? If not maybe we could go through and patch all the shipsets in the PBW file library. I'll bet someone could write a program that would go thorough and do it automatically. All it would need to do is unzip, edit the AI text files and zip it back up again.

A Gold shipset will generate errors whenever Drones are mentioned in the design files. I haven't tested yet whether a converted pre-Gold AI causes errors in Classic.
Since the link in my sig doesn't always work, I've attached the instructions here.
[Edit] OK, after a little testing, it looks like an old AI converted to Gold using these instructions still works in v1.49.

You have to be logged into PBW before you can download files from it. You can view the same file on ModWorks *here*.

 You post this stuff again? Windows doesn't have advanced technologies included in it, so of course you have to download programs... |

In both posts I thought it was worth mentioning. Sorry if I ruined your waiting for the question so you could make your comment

Re: Shipset/Race Errors
You can get the shipset archive from my SE4 files tracker, which has over 240 shipset, all patched to be gold-compatible. It has most of the shipsets out there.
