Two small bugs and a huge one

[Rollo]

Hi guys,
here are some bugs I found:

1) When the TDM Shadows are selected randomly, they produce an error, because the general.txt file asks for "Polical Savvy" rather than "Political Savvy".

2) The "Max ship size tonnage from start" in the settings.txt file doesn't work (or I don't understand it correctly). I set it to max size 410 for the first 15 turns, but the AI nevertheless builds cruisers from the start in a full tech game.

3) Here is the big one: Systemwide abilities don't work under the new patch (I am pretty sure they worked before). Neither the system robotoid factory nor the system databank works. I don't know about the system research thingie, because it is a full tech game. Normal (planet) robotoid factories work as they should.

edit: Can someone confirm any of these?

Thanks for your attention,
Rollo

confirmed, I get this error also.

[Rollo]

err, which one? Sorry I haven't been very specific myself . Made it more clear now in my first post.

The shadows. I get an error everytime they get selected.

I don't think system mineral scanners (etc) work in combination with system robotoid factories, so check if you have a conflict in your system. I think you have to choose one or the other. I find having a system robotoid factory with planet mineral scanners (etc) work fine.

I think the one-per-system system abilities between the system robotoid factory conflict with the one-per-system abilities of mineral, organic, radioactive system facilities.

1)You're right.

2) After change the AI_Settings.txt, always remember to shut down SE4, and restart... Try this, and I believe that everything will be ok (I know that several TDM races start with different sizes).

3) I'm at work and unable to test it now...
