Space Empires V Editor 1.3

Just that really as sooner or later I will want to mod something and this makes it easier

The problem is, your editor REALLY doesn't like the idea of someone stripping out all the pre-existing tech areas in order to make his own tech tree.

And now I'm stuck with it complaining about not being able to find the "min parent level" whenever I enter tech editing screen, making that screen just about worthless since it won't save files with that error going

There are 10 types of people in the world:

Those that understand binary, and those that don't.

First things first: thank you for this editor and for sharing the source!

However, a small problem did arise when I tried to build the editor from source: the file

Space Empires V Editor\src\editor_data\SpecialEffectInfo.cs

is missing.

Would it be possible to post this file, too?

Thank you for you prompt reply. I did download the file from your website, but in version 1.5.1 from your website there are several .resx files missing, so it does not compile, too.

A mix of 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 does compile - but it refuses to start.

I get an error in Consts.cs (System.NullReferenceException was unhandled)

public ArrayList GetStringGroup( string groupName ) { if( m_stringGroups.ContainsKey( groupName ) ) { return (ArrayList)m_stringGroups[ groupName ]; }

return null;
}

It would be really great if you could post the src-directory of a working version.

Now I do not know if the mix of 1.5.1 / 1.5.0 is the culprit or if I am doing something wrong.

Well, the files missing in se5editor_install_1_5_1_0.exe are:

- Resource file "editors\ComponentsForm.resx"
- Resource file "editors\DamageTypesForm.resx"
- Resource file "viewer\ComponentComparisonForm.resx"
- Resource file "viewer\ComponentEnhancementComparisonForm.resx"
- Resource file "viewer\FacilityComparisonForm.resx"
- Resource file "viewer\TechAreaComparisonForm.resx"

Maybe before uploading you could extract all files in the new archive into an empty directory and do a quick rebuild? This takes only a minute and makes sure all files necessary for rebuild are included.

Unfortunately Visual Studio 2005 produces lots of semi-hidden files. This is really a pain in in the donkey's wife.

I just did download the new version and actually used the self-installer - and behold: it worked!

However, I did notice something strange:

When I use 7-zip to open the self-installer (I really do hate it that windows wants to "install" everything) and then extract the src-folder to hard disk, the .resx files are still missing. Not all, just some - but the program does not compile.

Using the self-installer-exe, all is fine.

Do you have any idea what causes this rather strange behavior? 7-zip?

I just downloaded and installed the SEV Editor, and now im trying to use it. Problem is, it won't let me use it because I don't have some .net Framworks software. I checked the internet for it, and the only place I can find it is microsoft. I installed the latest version, and the Editor still won't let me open it for the same reason. Do you know what i'm missing?
