BUG?

from Stardock Forums
So somewhere along the line one of my planets (of course it's my second best production planet) ended up with a full military build meter, but nothing in the queue. I'm not exactly sure how it happened - maybe I obsoleted what it was building, or did a mititary swap to nothing? Not sure.

My point is that now if I try to put ANYTHING in the military build queue, the game crashes with a buffer error.

Anyone have a workaround?

Thanks!

Yes, the problem is a wrong text in English.str. I emailed the fix to Cari but did not yet get a reply.

It happens when the orbit of a star is full. You can't build any ships anymore since there would be no room to place them. There are two problems with the text. One is that it uses the wrong place holder. The other is that it is too long for long star names. i.e. with Earth it would work but with MySuperGoodPlanet it would still crash. Thus I reduced the text lenght.

Make a copy of the file English.str in your GalCiv/Data folder and then change the file.

I changed the following line:
[NoRoom] There is no room in orbit of %lu to build another ship. You will have to launch ships to make room.

into

[NoRoom] There is no room in orbit of %s to build another ship. Launch ships to make room.
