Hmmm. Maybe I need to upload more than the *.exe file!

Seems to be that you're the first that are using the new *.exe!

I'll send to you a zip with the other files, if we fix the problem, then, will replace the actual zip in the forum.

Edit: have you downloaded and installed the big zip with 8 Mb? Because the second zip (the small), only have the upgrade.

MB, I noticed the same exception Messages, but just with your ver 1.1 , ver 1.0 works fine for me.

But to install the 1.1, have you copied the new *.exe over the old *.exe, but keeping all the other files inside the folder?

Hi MB,
thanks for the files that you sent. Unfortunately that didn't fix the problem.

Same thing here: ver. 1.0 runs okay, but ver. 1.1 doesn't. And yes, I did replace the .exe plus the other files into the 1.0 folder. FYI, the error occurs even before the first iteration starts.

Btw, thanks for writing this program. It is a great help to test the AI, even when you have only little time

.

Yes, I have copied the upgrade files over the old files. I should better have posted, I had no problems until I have upgraded. What I see in the folder is now: 69 files, about 1,02 MByte altogether. It seems to me that you do not get any problems with your installation ? Maybe it is something with the Version, I am testing with Golden 1.60, Winbugs 98, Pentium III.

Sorry, but in my computer I only have replaced the old for the new exe... and everything was ok.

I will prepare a complete installation for the 1.1 Version... yea a new big file!

But really this Version was working a lot better!

It could be also a problem with ZIP ! Could you first try to post your .exe without compression, please ?

And I have to thank you very much for this great tool, I appreciate it, really, yes indeed, I do.

For all the other longterm testers, FYI:

As for the longterm AI simulation, its possible but would take quite a
long time to run. We're considering it.

Ok guys, I got the problem:
Because I'm using the commands to copy and rename the game save files, the path MUST be with the DOS format, it mean, only 8 characters for every folder!

You don't need to rename your folders... you only need to change the SE4 BATCH and SAVEGAME Path parameters, using the CONFIGURATION button.

If you have installed SE4 inside the standard folder, the path should be:

For the Se4 path:
C:\PROGRA~1\SHRAPN~1\MALFAD~1\SPACEE~1

For the Savegame path:
C:\PROGRA~1\SHRAPN~1\MALFAD~1\SPACEE~1\SAVEGAME

SORRY FOR THE PROBLEMS!

UPDATE VERSION 1.1
