Found a 1.6 Beta bug

Planet modifiers

April 10, 2007 1:28 AM from

I found a bug on the planet modifiers. I've tested it twice on the Tiny maps. I set up all rare options. It made all of the resources rare except Stars and Planets. I had a screen filled with both, and the planets had just as many hapitable as unhapitable. What really made it odd is that I was finding a ton of class 17 planets, and I found a class 20 planet which I've never seen before. Maybe it got switched backwards? I'm going to check the abundant options tommorrow. One other thing happened... I used the option scattered, and on both maps I got clusters. This is an actual bug I'm not saying this, because I'm dissatisfied about anything. I used the same options quite a bit to differentiate my game experience in the 1.50x ver and I never had any irregularities. Good work on the ship control guys. That was a cool add on.

Here's my debug

That's a DL debug, not one from DA. The DA debug is found in GalCiv2\DarkAvatar, where the DA executable is at.

As you can see I've been doing some at home testing to see if I'm insane or not. I've sent stardock the wrong debug so what I'm going to do is clear my debug file, and do two loads one with abundant stars, planets, and hab planets scattered on a 3x3 map. The other with rare everything.

Alright let's check out this new debug... I did two more tests. The abundant seems to be giving an abundance of Stars and planets. The rare seemed to give a common amount of stars and planets. I understand if this program is using some sort of Xor to randomize everything, and I'm getting wierd draws.

I should also note that rare settings on tiny maps may not yeild expected results in DA. Due to an issue with some races starting out 'orphaned', the game will now generate any map with a certain minimum number of stars, regardless of settings.

I've tried imitating your bug, and even though, I had everthing on rare the only thing I saw is an abundant resourses all around me, I had a military and research research right next to me and a morale one a little ways away, otherwise, anomolies, seemed to not be any differant than normal, there were four or five planets around each star, however, the largest planet quality I saw was 11 and that was an aquatic world, I didn't see any regular planets that were habitable at all, most were aquatic worlds I found 4 off hand class 1,11,4,7

I figured it might be something.
I checked it out on large and medium and it seemed to work better.
