Re: SJ\'s Tech Gridder 0.50 - now with ability support!
No, it means "Now I will look at the components contained in this file, and grid whatever I see"
Its only once you press the "Grid this tech" button, will it complain about not finding any components...
I should test the file for components earlier.

Re: SJ\'s Tech Gridder 0.50 - now with ability support!
Well, SJ is now #1 on my most-despised people list. I'm up to a 35.4 MB component file--that's for one 6-D tech @ 5 levels each.  Only 15 or so more to go. At least it RARs down to ~162 KB. Obviously, I'm going to have to scale this down a little bit.

There is no need to scale it down! Make it as large as necessary.  |

Yes, but we little ordinary peons (or PEoN) who have dialup have to suffer through all this. Maybe I'll have to break it up into 5 separate downloads.

Re: SJ\'s Tech Gridder 0.50 - now with ability support!
One other suggestion: allow modifying the tech level increase as with the other options. Maybe I want to have something happen every other level (actually, I do). Or every *1.28 levels. Or every ^2 levels.

If it rars down to 162 KBs, that is not a big download at all.

Add .5 range per level. You will get a range increase of 1 every other level. It is stickier with multiplication and exponentials, but addition works for some things that are in whole number values. But having an explicit feature like that would be a good idea.
