SE4 Modder Ver 1.76 (updated for ver 1.91)

So I've been adding support for the Settings.txt file to my program and I thought it would be cool if I can add some kind of automatic function that would create a whole load of population modifiers. The only problem is I can't really think of a function that would do a good job of this. Anyone got any ideas?

Whatever you do, do not use SuicideJunkie's P&N pop modifiers! I hate them!!!

Perhaps something using ln for every 10M?

Great program. It's been really useful so far and I've only used it to pick component features and calculate tech costs.

I did find a weird bug though. Military Science isn't being counted in the tech costs. Combat Sensors costs 425000 research to max; ECM is only listed as needing 375000. Torpedos and point-defense weapons are similarly affected, as are the Ship Training and Fleet Training facilities; anything that has military science as a pre-requisite.

As far as I can tell, it is limited to only the mil sci tech area not being counted toward research costs.

Huh?? ditto on the wierd. Right you are though PD should cost 55000 to get to level 1 not 5000. Have to look into it

Edit: Aww crap this problem goes much deeper than just Military Science... Doh!

Edit2: Ok got it fixed now. Although I'm really not sure why the error I found didn't bugger up other things. I really should document my code better.

Now all I gotta do is finish the other stuff I was working on and post a new Version.

Bump

I've been working of a fairly big update so just wanted to let everyone know work is on going. So if you've got any complaints, bugs or other suggestions let me know?

PS hey Phoneix-D Are you still getting that 'cannot create directory' error"

Not that I've been using it as much, but yes.

I got the, 'cannot create directory' trying to use it a across our peer to peer network at home.

I love the Modder. I really apriciate all of the hard work. I could never do the things I am doing without it.

Request? Just the one about I always have about colors and SE. It would be greate if the Mineral and Organics colors could be brighter or larger. I can only read them if I highlight them.

Thanks again. It is a superb tool.
