Comments on the new build

from Stardock Forums
I had a ship that was built at the same turn as a research completed. So after pressing turn, ending the previous turn, I had the "finished-research" animation up and after closing it, the "select-research" window was up with a GNN announcement (telling me the ship was finished) up over it. After closing the GNN window I got the view of the planet that had built the ship up. The select-research window didnt come up again.

I can understand that it's hard to show many things at one time, but you need to decide how you want the events to appear. I dont have any suggestions right now, the only improvement I could suggest right now is to have a research-announcement in the event-window on the lowert right hand, so one dont forget about selecting a new thing to research.

The ships-status helps alot, Brad. Thanks for that one :) And the change for the location of a colonyship when it's about to colonize a new planet. Much easier to find the ship if one decides to go after another planet instead.

I had a crash when I was about to take over the kwilas-system. Or pearhaps that was intended? LOL
It was the first system that I tried to take in the new build.

Umm when I tried it the 2nd time from my gamesave I could conquer the system, choose what to build and so, but the next turn it crashed.

The last lines was:
*DEBUG ERROR: *** Unable to locate font Arial10B, FTDataManager::FindFont ***
Debug Message: Cancel Destination for USS Transport 7480 because reached its destination
Debug Message: Cancel Destination for USS Transport 7480 because dead.

Got a negative value when a research completed and I was about to select a new. Dont remember which research-item tho.

Background music doesnt play if one swaps out to windows and back, and not when resuming a saved game either.

Just crashed on me again right after takeing over a system. Not much idea of conquering systems with the current build, but I'll continue using the explore, research, improve, defend strategy now.

This was the last thingey in the debug.err

ASSERT ERROR in file g:\projects\galciv\source\gamescr.cpp at line 2358.
Debug Message: Cancel Destination for USS Transport 103 because dead.
Debug Message: Cancel Destination for Arcean Transport 69 because dead.

Hmm now I have a savegame where there are a ship on the same tile as an alien system, not orbiting. In fact I believe they are different races. If you want me to send it somewhere, just let me know.

Yea, there are definitely a few crashing issues. Thanks for your help Fredrik!
