SE4 Modder Ver 1.76 (updated for ver 1.91)

[Admiral Wunderbar]

Did anyone get a bug while saving settings? Seems some "true" statements are saved as "0" like in 'Remote Mining Decreases Asteroid Value', and maybe (not sure) some values are altered as well.

Yup thats a bug allright. Guess I'll have to go through the rest of the settings and make sure they are ok

Tesco. Haven't manage to recreate the Planet size thing. It seemed to work Ok for me but I'll look at it a bit more.

David is making a mod? Sheesh I go away for a little while and the whole universe is turned up side down.

Dave, those sounds in the weapons section are really realy annoying.

I always loved your program. Thanks

2 more david.

1. The Components section . Weapons. Can Target does not reconize Fighters. If you set a component to target fighters only the can target will default that component to the Last can target you were looking at. So when you save it it updates that componet from fighters to what ever it thinks the current can target is.

2. In the Mounts section. The Shield Percent is not there so if you have any shield mounts that increase the % of shield strenght it will delete this line.

another one.

some strange reason the modder over wrote the intelligence file where it was type= Intelligence Defense it wrote type = Politics Prevent Messages and I cannot even select Intelligence defece from the drop down...

I think I am going back to 1.73 as 1.74 is way to buggy...

OK try ver 1.75. (note that type= Intelligence Defense waws missing from the txt header file too which is why I missed it. Plus so far as I know your the first one to use it.)

all Versions since 1.70 have been relativly minor upgrades that fixed reported bugs only so going back to 1.73 won't help much.

"Too buggy" Aw come on. I count a grand total of 5 bugs that have been told to me since ver 1.74 came out. (4 of which are now fixed, One I couldn't recreate. )

Wow...

Now you know what would make this the ULTIMATE modding utility???

The ability to make entire sequential families of techs like Krsqk's K-Modder! But not only components - facilities and anything else you might want too!

You say you wrote this in VB6? I'd like to help make this dream a reality, but I don't have VB6 ... VB.NET can read VB6 code, but I don't suppose you have .NET, do you? There's a free .NET IDE called SharpDevelop, but it's rather buggy at the moment (at least from what I've seen), and I wouldn't want to force you to switch to .NET...

But maybe I could develop a COM component or something you could use... I wonder if I can make COM components in .NET... I like .NET too much What kinds of custom controls and classes can you import into VB6 from other Languages? I'm not going to even touch writing Windows controls in C++ (typedef void **HWNDPROCINSTANCE anyone? )

OR... I could just get a bunch of would be modders to gather together and keep bugging you until you put that feature in on your own!
