Planet creation problem (V1.33)

Submitted by SpaceAndy on Sat, 2007-12-22 17:44. Space Empires V General

Hi all,

still running V1.33 (german) i have a little problem with creating planets.
I've build a ship with a level 5 matter-gravitation-sphere, moved it onto an asteroid sector, and enabled the "build planet" command from the "stellar manipulation menu".
The asteroids start to move, more asteroids being dragged in. After that, my ship is damaged (matter gravitation sphere is destroyed), the asteroids are gone, but there is NO PLANET. Tried with two ships on two asteroid belts (medium and large), same effect.

Am i doing something wrong or is this a 1.33 bug?

You should probably apply the latest patches... your savegame will still work.

Well, unfortunately you where wrong on the savegames Sad

I installed 1.66 and it not only lost the video settings etc (which is only a minor nuisance) but it CANT LOAD THE 1.33 SAVEGAMES (when selecting a save game, no info is displayed; when loading it, a "game can't be loaded" message is given.

So i'll retest in a few days when i aquired planet creation again Sad

Weird, I've got a savegame from 1.25 that runs perfectly fine.. You could always reinstall to finish out that game.

Perhaps a problem with the international/UK-Version...

spaceandy, did you install the patch for the european version (downloaded from the empire-interactive website) or the one from this website??

all patches on this website are for the us version and not compatible with the euro-versions.

I installed the patch from empire interactive.
I assume that you can play US 1.25 savegames in US 1.66, but you can't play UK/EUR 1.25/1.33 savegames in UK/EUR 1.66, perhaps because some file format changes that depend on the widechar/unicode support of the UK/EUR version.

That said, with 1.66 planet creation works as expected.
