v6.00 Official Bugs Thread

When I enter one unexplored jump point i get a bunch of errors. It only happens with one jump point so far. I think there are aliens on the other side. I think it's the same set of errors that you get when you try a SM start.

Error in CreateNewRace

Error 3315 was generated by DAO.Recordset
Field 'Race.RaceName' cannot be a zero lenght string.

and

Error 3201 was generated by DAO.Recordset
You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'Race'

Whenever a fleet is given the "Join Fleet" order on another (say an asteroid mining fleet), the fleet given the order will go and carry it out, but the planet won't update to show that there are now more asteroid miners in orbit.  The same thing happens with terraformers.  You have to solve it by telling the new larger fleet to go to its destination again (in this case the asteroid)

Another way around this is to have Fleet A move to body, then join Fleet B

Apologies for not getting to the bugs list yet. I am working in London for the next few days but I'll be back at the weekend. Assuming I can tear myself away from Xcom, I'll start working through them.

I'm getting what appears to be an infinite amount of Error 3201's on game start whenever I don't use the default campaign. 

Error 3201 was generated by DAO.  Recordset

This bug is from a conventional start with missile bases. Steve said previously he forgot to add the ICBM plan in or something like that. If you hold down the enter key for a minute it will zip through them and then start the game normally.

Hey, i found three bugs.


Game version: 6. 0
System: Windows XP64
CPU: AMD some 2-3 Ghz
RAM: 3GB

Bug #1
Adding a large number of research facilities when generating a new game

Description
Start Aurora, click new game, enter a relative large number in "Number of starting Research Facilities" as starting value, in this test i added 100 research facilities.  No other values was altered to the new game screen, click "create game"

Outcome
The game was stopped by user after +30 minutes thru the task manager.  The game generated a Very large database(+200mb).

Expected outcome
After a normal period of time (1 min) the game should have been generated and prompted the user, and the database should only use a few mb of disk space.
The number of research facilities should not effect the game generate time.

Bug #2
The description text associated with mouse over on "Min Inc. " increment cycle number box is to long.

Description
See the attached image. .

Outcome
The description text exceed the maximum number of characters

Expected outcome
The description text should not exceed the maximum number of characters.

Bug #3
The moon "Luna" associated with the planet earth is not placed the "correct" place.

Description
Generate a game which use the default values.  No values added or removed!
In the "Task Groups", F12 window, tab "Task Group Orders", Check box Group "System Location Display Options", click the check box "Moons", moons associated to the known system will appear.

Outcome
The moon "Luna" is placed as a moon associated to Venus.

Expected outcome
The moon should appear as a Moon associated to the planet Earth.

Not seeing this anywhere in the thread, so:

When designing a ship with a small crew requirement (fighter for example), the automatic crew quarters script does not make use of 'Tiny' crew quarters, stopping at small. This means having to manually add a tiny crew quarter and removing the small one for the space savings.

Hmm. . .  Getting another bug (more of an irritation actually).  Whenever my military ships are away from a planet, every 5 days it pops up with an error in CheckCrewMorale: Error 3241 was generated by DAO. Field.  Data type conversion error.   

Funny thing is it only happens to ships built after a certain point, and only when they're away from home base. 
The Crew Morale still seems to decrease as normal. \

Found another one. This is at a different jump point.

Error in CreateNPRForces
Error 3021 was generated by DAO.Field
No current record.

A couple of minor ones.

Starting a new game,
tooltip for max deviation in gravity states it can't be greater than 95% but the actual value is limited to 90%.
tooltip for max deviation in oxygen pressure states it can't be greater than 80% but the actual value is limited to 90%.

Lower priority than "minor":
It appears that the Name type "US Carriers" for ship names has no entries.  Assigning that to a ship class leads to the first ship having the name "No more names in this category". ( I am unaware of that carrier's long illustrious history )

I noticed that quite a while ago, and according to Friedman, that name was not used before 1982. 
That said, I put together the correct list, and I've attached it here.

   I am now getting an Error 53  File PLANETJPEG\a11.jpg not found

[Steve Walmsley (OP)]

Looks like the ICBM is no longer in the DB. I had a DB crash during development and I thought I had receoverd everything but obviously not

The next version will be v6.10. I've put the ICBM back on the DB

[Steve Walmsley (OP)]

With the new version, attempting to open the system information (f9) window generates the following errors:

Error 53 was generated by Aurora
File not found: 'Planetjpeg\a11.jpg'

-------------------------

Error 53 was generated by Aurora
File not found: 'Planetjpeg\b20.jpg'

-------------------------

Manually adding the missing pictures appears to fix the problem for me; it may have been a problem with my install/patching process.

The missing pictures will be included in the v6.10 patch
