Population

lookerbc — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 14:00:51 -0400

Has anyone seen that the Population listed in the planet is not up to date with the way it's listed in the data file

for example i'm playing the Proportions mod and the homeworld Pop is 20B/45B ?????

if in the RacialTraits file under Advanced Storage Techniques the boost is ONLY 25% the game shows it as 125% ????

and when I put a colony on a huge world (that i can breath) it shows that the max id only 40B not 50B like it should

thats just my view anyways

Saved game file corruption in v1.74

inertiatic — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 16:34:20 -0400

Firstly, thanks to MM for attempting to deal with the (major) issue of saved game file corruption in the latest patch, its something that many of us seem to suffer from and can completely ruin an otherwise perfectly enjoyable campaign.

However, I started my latest game patched up to version 1.74 with BM 1.14b applied and after only 44 game turns, I try to load up my game today and I get that old familiar message 'cannot load ...'

So unfortunately it seems the problem is still apparent. Anybody else experiencing the same with v1.74? If need be I can email the save game file to MM (anybody have the address?) but the bottom line is that this critical flaw still needs to be fixed.

trading bug

As of 1.74 if you trade tech to get the other atmosphere types. You get the tech but the planets do not show to colonizable. if you send a colony ship to the planet with the correct tech, it says you can not colonize.

redesign bug

I found a bug that lets you redsign a ship after it's built. apparently it's a "rebug" that was fixed in a previous version. It's the one where switching views undisables the edit button.

[SE5 v1.74] History Tech causes conflict with Society Type?

SpaceLover — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 11:06:38 -0400

Hey, I’m the type that enjoys a race that does maximum damage in combat. I went Berzerkers for my Society Type so I can gain:

All vehicle weapons have a +20% chance to hit.
All vehicle weapons get +10% to damage.

I enjoy crushing my enemies that has far better technology then me. You ask how? The Berzerkers society type natural +20% chance to hit and +10% damage for the win.
But that didn’t stop me from making my strong race even more powerful, I wanted to go much stronger! So I decide to put all my research point into History, because it says you get
weapon hit % and weapon damage % base on the tech level.

alliance sticking from game to game bug

Twad — Sun, 11 May 2008 17:42:10 -0400

For some reason, an alliance i made in a game (im allied with the terrans with my custom race.. full stuff, stopped playing cuz on a huge galaxy 200 ships limit is not enough)

Now im working at starting a new game.. but for X reason.. the elements from the alliance apply to my new games.. all.. the.. time.

Ex: Start game, turn 2, i get maps, techs, comm channels, and designs from one of the CPU players (and the "victim" is always the second player.. the one just after me on the list of faction that we can see when we save/load.. and it is also the slot where the terran were.) but the alliance dont show up in my treaties.. and anyway, that alliance isnt supposed to exist! Its like the game got a corrupted file somewwhere that recreate an alliance with player 2.

Bug or just vista?

Sir McHalls — Sun, 04 May 2008 16:21:39 -0400

I have a problem with SE V. Sometimes I can't load saved games, even autosaves are ruined.

What I can see: When this happens, the flags from the saved game's description disappear, I can save again, but after I quit the game, I can't load it.

Is it a known bug, or I am the first and lucky one? It ruined 4, 4 day long games...

Unable to add new techs

bearclaw — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 22:23:25 -0400

Since upgrading to 1.71 I can no longer add or change the names of any techs in the TechArea.txt file.

I tried adding 2 new tech areas and everything looked fine except when I started a game, those 2 techs do not show. No error message when loading the mod.

As a test, I changed just the name of Physics tech area (added 'rty' to the end of the name only) and when I loaded a game, 'Physics rty' was not available. Neither was just 'Physics'.

Another test, I reloaded SEV without the patch to 1.71 and I'm fully able to add more techs or rename existing techs. Upgrade to 1.71, can't and new or rename existing techs.

bugs with massive games in 1.71

Memory issues still occur with massive games.
Saving bug 'can't save ..." still occurs.

Saved Empires still unusable

CP1985 — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 21:46:54 -0400

There is a major bug with colonies showing as colonizable when in fact they are not. The bug only occurs with a saved empire. I saved a computer generated empire, edited the tech to allow it be used in a low tech game. It seems that even this doesn't work correctly. Saved Empires are still unusable. None of the empire's design name files show up as well unless you copy it to the folder.
