Title: New Galactic Map errors out the wazoo
Post by: coldsteel on September 27, 2006, 04:39:04 PM

OK, I got bored and did an SA file of all the known systems in the 'official' Starfire universe. Now, I went and copied the MDB to a different folder (NEVER screw with the original, glad I didn't), opened it up, went OK. Went to the F2 page for the Thebans and gave them ALL the system data, for one big map. No errors yet. Hit F11, takes 2 minutes to come up, then I get an error of, 'ERROR: WP Link not found in GetWarpPointData'. About 66 of those, then over 200+ 'Error 5 was generated by StarfireAssistant Invalid procedure call or argument'. Had to 3-finger salute to close out. When I re-enter the file, everyone but the Thebans come up OK. If I give all the system data to any race, same errors.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll take a look at this when I start working my way through SA bugs again.

Hm. Also, there is an option on the F2 screen to give your data to another race. So, I gave all the Khanate of Orion system data to the Terran Federation. ALL the Khanate systems are now thought of as TF systems. When I give all the TF data to the Khanate, all the systems are displayed as belogning to the Khanate when the Khanate looks at them. All the systems are shown owned by the TF when you're looking from the TF viewpoint.

However, when I give the data one empire at a time, the errors I got from the 'god' button do NOT pop up at all. Just have to arrange all the systems and re-ID for empires...
