Yitzi's unofficial SMAX patch 2.3

http://alphacentauri2.info/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=149

More features, more bugs fixed.  We're getting there...

[ete]

Cool, what's the changelog for this one?

[Yitzi]

Bugs fixed, plus fungus bonus resources (for resource bonuses and landmarks) and pacifism drone rules.

[Dio]

Yitzi, your most current version (2.3.) of the patch is not working and constantly crashes on start up. I tried using your previous version of the alphax file and it still did not work.

[Yitzi]

Hmm...this is exceedingly strange, as (1) I didn't make any changes in 2.3 that should affect startup, and (2) it doesn't crash for me...

At exactly what point did it crash, and was it just the "has performed an error and needs to close" message or something more specific?  And did it work fine for 2.2e?

If those don't help, I might need you to send me your entire alpha centauri folder to see if I can find a difference.

[Yitzi]

If you're still having the problem, another possibility might be if you have Skype and can install Ollydbg, we could try debugging it on your computer.

[Dio]

I got mine to work after I changed a few things.

[Buster's Uncle]

What things?


-And is anyone going to talk to the newb in the ToE thread about this?

[Dio]

I fixed it by replacing the alphax file with the one from the link in the opening post.

[Yitzi]

The link in the opening post links to the 2.3 patch.  So if you had previously been using the terranx file from that patch, but not the updated alphax file, then I would expect that to result in bugs rather than a crash, but I could see how it might crash instead.  (Basically, it's looking for the new variables because the new terranx tells it to, but the old alphax doesn't have them.)

helpx is unchanged from 2.2, so that's not really necessary to update there, but if working from an earlier version, you need to replace that too.
