File not found error v. 1.44 Balance Mod 1.08

Submitted by DauntlessDave on Sun, 2007-07-22 11:04. Space Empires V General

I'm about 40 turns into my first game and have yet to actually spot an enemy ship or world, but have diplomatic contact with 1 other empire. Once or twice every turn, after the computer makes its moves and I believe just after I close the news feed the message "File not found" pops up and points to the SEV directory, but not to any specific folder ot file in the directory. The game does not crash and I just closbox and continue. Any ideas as to what this is or if I should care?

If I remember right Captian Qwock posted sugesting that BM 1.08 was not always compatable with v1.44 & mentioned a v 1.09 to fix this and add some more tweaks AI improvements etc. He was going on holiday at that point so said it would be later than usial day after patching.

What you have observed might be a symptom of this

As it dosent stop you playing I think its livable with until its fixed.

Thanks Evilg, I will await CQ's return (bless that man) and hope that 1.09 does the trick. As I said, there was no crash, but I did wonder if things that were supposed to happen (like battles?) were not for some reason. New to the game.

this can also be a problem with self made empires shipsets where image-files are missing.
i had the same problem with a star-trek shipset where the image for drones was missing, everytime there was a drone constructed and showed up in the news i got a "file not found error".

I dont have any modded ship sets, unless BM comes with some. What would the game do with the drones constructed though, if it did not have an image for it? This is why I'm pensive, I'm worried that some AI empire is interacting with me, but the missing files are preventing it from working properly. As i mentioned, i have diplomatic relations with an empire that I've never seena planet or a ship from....

the drones worked fine, there was just an immage missing and when that was used it got an error and the image-space was just black.

are you sure you have a blank SEV and just added the 1.08 mod, no manual things for bugfix or so where you may have a typo?!

did you see that the balance mod uses a new directory since 1.06?!
the directory under gametypes it´s now "Balance Mod v105+" and note the mod-version as it was before.

Well, at least now I know to look for blank spots. I have done nothing manually. I just installed SEV, brought it up to 1.44, and istalled BM 1.08. If there was anything else, like a hotfix, I would have done that too, but i dont recall anything. I must have the balance mod in the right directory, because it lists itlself in the "game types" area during the game selection in the main menu. I cant recall if a version number is provided.

I do appreciate the attempt. Hopefully CQ will strighten things up soon. I played again last night and one AI empire seems to be functioning normally, i can see his ships and planets, ect. So it may be that the error really isnt doing anything.
