Error 6 in CalculateMoveTime Overflow
« on: May 17, 2010, 06:38:07 PM »
I know, I caused this by accidentally repeating a long order 54 times rather than 5 times (damn my clumsy fingers), but how do I get it to shut up?

I need to cancel the orders on the task group screen so I can tell my ships to refuel but the only way I can do ANYTHING is by killing the game process and restarting it, then the second I go into the task group screen it just gives me an infinite error 6 again :/

Ive had success creating a new TG, transferring the ships into the new TG and deleting the original, back in the days of the Mars run giving infinite loops

Just a quick note that might help out. I got an error 6 overflow repeatedly. Then I found out what created it: when you give orders to a ship to move somewhere and you have set speed to 1km/sec, you get the error. Easy fix is to increase speed on your ship.
