Unless it's unchanged from SG6, he has it.

I think I found and squashed a couple of additional bugs after that, but not sure

Thanks dave. DH what DB cleaner are we using? I have the one I used from SG6. Want that one?

Threw in an update: the report feature now displays the current race/cartel economic totals, the max econ (used to determine everyone's ranking from 0-5) and the average econ (used for shipyard pricing), and the empire's economic rank after racial adjustments.

(The econ summary appears right after the long list of hex info.)

That will be a good tool, thx dave. Now I can better figure out who's able to get starbases...
Where is it?

Great. I'll upload that on THOR when I login next to do my mad edits... You know, that editor is slick. It's too bad it takes so long to use. To make one edit takes usually a minute. And every minute is one more PM I get from someone wondering why I'm taking so long to do a DB clean, lol.

That's the special "drive_em_crazy()" function I included -- doesn't do anything but add another level of questions and a 30 second delay at each step

Dave, something I didnt see in the editor that would help...

It seemed to have a blanket edit feature for raising the max level of DV's all over the map. What I'd liked to have done is to be able to have selected a DV level of say all the hexes that had a DV level of 12 and raise the max of just every hex that had that DV level. But the editor didnt seem to allow for you to choose just one set of DV;s, rather just all of them. Can that be changed so I can select just a particular set of DV's and change their maximum without editing them all?

NuclearWessels · « **Reply #9 on:** April 10, 2007, 02:59:51 pm »

Yeah, I've been meaning to add a bunch of editing options, so you can select by race or terrain or econ or DV - I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

You know what might be cool? Is if I could mass edit an entire race's hex ownership to someone else. If that were possible I could actually move one race's location with another. I could turn all fed space to Klink then all klink to fed so wherever they were on the map, they'd effectively have swapped places.

What about editing racial tensions on the DB itself? Is it possible? Has anyone ever done this? I wonder if it'd work. Be nice, right now I'd love to switch the Mirak to Alliance... I'd then have to swap Mirak space for ISC space to keep it all good... If that'd be possible it'd really make a server's possibilities interesting.

Dizzy, did you figure out how to swap ships?

Dizzy · « **Reply #12 on:** April 10, 2007, 04:35:51 pm »

Ya, just make sure u copy the shiplist to the DB directory when you run the editor. If you mess with the fighter loadout, you'll then need to copy over the ftrlist too.

Dizzy · « **Reply #13 on:** April 10, 2007, 04:52:23 pm »

Hey Dave, ck this pic out. Once I cleaned it with your editor the server kit wouldnt start back up. I guess its because of this error. I had to use Dark Elf's cleaner a few times to kill this error. What do u make of it? Find attached to this link: http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=163374058.0;id=12052

NuclearWessels · « **Reply #14 on:** April 10, 2007, 05:08:13 pm »

Hmmm - if you can fire me a copy of the Sfc2Spd.sds file I'll see if I can track it down.

EDIT: Doh! Nevermind, found the .sds

I'll see if I can track it down this afternoon

thanks!

Great cuz the server just crashed again and I'd like to know what's up with the DB...

I think its due to the bonus prestige in admin accounts. Perhpas eliminating those will fix the problem.

Dizzy · « **Reply #17 on:** April 10, 2007, 05:20:14 pm »

Now it says there is a mismatch in -2147483462 Vs 186

Similar to before...

NuclearWessels · « **Reply #18 on:** April 10, 2007, 06:53:40 pm »

OK, live and learn - there were a couple of "prepared missions" in the middle of the db, turns out their structure is a little different.

A fixed version of the editor is posted at the usual location.

And (as a bonus for waiting) there's a tensions editor for ya diz:
- select E for edit
- then T for tensions
- then you pick pairs of races whose relationship you want to change
I've tried it out on a test server, but you'll want to make backups first just in case

dave

Dizzy · « **Reply #19 on:** April 10, 2007, 07:12:46 pm »

prepared missions, what does that mean? Was that where the errors were coming from? Are they going to persist? Should I be worried? How'd u find that? Thru the report?
