| Summary | 0019086: Modding request: improved error message for illegal map generator | ||||
| Description | If you try to have the MapGenerator code generate an illegal map (for example, a map where all planets are connected) you get an error like 4/29/2017 2:30:36 PM System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Argument is out of range. Parameter name: index at System.Collections.Generic.List`1[Arcen.AIW2.Core.Planet].get_Item (Int32 index) [0x00024] in /Users/builduser/buildslave/mono/build/mcs/class/corlib/Sys\ tem.Collections.Generic/List.cs:635 at Arcen.AIW2.Core.SetOfGalaxies.Create (Arcen.AIW2.Core.ArcenSimContext Context) [0x00446] in D:\vclarge\AI_War_2_Ultra\ArcenAIW2Core\src\Logic\GameState\M\ apping\SetOfGalaxies.cs:144 at Arcen.AIW2.Core.Mapgen.WorkThreadOnly_GenerateNewGame () [0x003af] in D:\vclarge\AI_War_2_Ultra\ArcenAIW2Core\src\Logic\Sim\Mapgen.cs:92 at Arcen.AIW2.Core.Engine_AIW2.WorkThreadOnly_StartNewGame () [0x0000d] in D:\vclarge\AI_War_2_Ultra\ArcenAIW2Core\src\Logic\Engine_AIW2.cs:586 I believe this indicates that the map can't be adequately populated (since the Ark would have to be placed next to the AI controller). It would be nice to get an improved error message for modders ("Attempt to generate illegal map"?). However, I'm opening this half to have a record for any future modders who might run into the same issues that I did when I was starting. I would also be okay with this bug being Closed as a "Will Document" and an entry in the Modding FAQ being added. | ||||

It's complicated, but basically this is a general bug in the data that was created. Keith moved a lot of the logic over to the open-source part of the code so that this can be more directly observed in the next build, thus making it so you can correct that sort of thing better. |

Believe me, I am psyched to get my grubby little badger-paws on controlling where things go in a map ;-) |
