editing values in defines.lua cause crash. need some help.

[mike0815]

first of all, i not want to blame anyone here, it's my own wrong when i make my game crashing because i edited something, but maybe some of you guys can help me with that:

in the defines.lua there is this:

SECTOR_STATION_BUDGET_FRACTION = 0.30, -- Fraction of budget going to stations
SECTOR_BUILDING_BUDGET_FRACTION = 0.40, -- Fraction of budget going to buildings
SECTOR_SPACEPORT_BUDGET_FRACTION = 0.20,-- Fraction of budget going to spaceports
SECTOR_ARMY_BUDGET_FRACTION = 0.10, -- Fraction of budget going to armies


i not want that the sectorAI uses any resources in building Armies, Spaceports or Stations. only buildings please.

so i tried to edit those values. "1" to building budget, "0" to the others

but no matter how i change this values the game always crashing on startup.

what i'm doing wrong?

I suspect it'll be a div0 error. Try setting all of them apart from the army one to 0.01.

i tried many different values, for example:

SECTOR_STATION_BUDGET_FRACTION = 0.10,
SECTOR_BUILDING_BUDGET_FRACTION = 0.70,
SECTOR_SPACEPORT_BUDGET_FRACTION = 0.10,
SECTOR_ARMY_BUDGET_FRACTION = 0.10,

so that all together gives 1.0 again ... but still crashing

something that also make me wonder is that in the launcher it still shows that i have the "ed47" checksum... should that not have changed when i editing any values?

What happens if you put them back to the vanilla values?

The most likely problem is going to be a missing line ending in defines.lua, or some formatting problem that has eliminated the -- marking the comment. Did you change anything else?

ok, problem solved.

note to myself: never use the standard windows editor notepad++ works fine
