Did I accidentally activate "rename ship"? - Exit to desktop.

from Stardock Forums
I think I must have accidentally clicked the mouse over the ship detail window over the neame field. The game immediately exited to the OS. The following lines are the last three lines in the debug file.
------------
ebug Message: Unable to open file Gfx\NameShip.pcx
ASSERT ERROR in file g:\projects\pear\source\diskdata.cpp at line 119.
Debug Message: Unable to open Bitmap file: Gfx\NameShip.pcx
----------------------------------------------
Note: I do not have a "G:" disk and DGM and GC are on my E: disk.

Cheers,
Jack

Well, that by itself wouldn't crash the game. It'll just display black where the picture should be. The g drive it's referring to, isn't really referring to one of your drives. It's from the compiled code. However, if the ship had been deleted and the ship data window wasn't properly cleared, that would have caused a crash. We'll check into it.

I may have had a "N/A" for the information fields. I have gone back and tried clicking on the ship info fields and it seems to work ok, but I only just considered that there may not have been a ship selected at the time. I will try this out in a few minutes and report back.

Cari,

This does indead fail only when "N/A" is displayed in the selected ship info window. Also, I can not find the file mentioned in the debug file ("gfx\nameship.pcx") in the galciv directories or in the DGM data file that lists the GC files for the download ("E:\Drengin.net\data\gc1\gc1.xml").

Cheers,
Jack

Arrgh...I thought that I replied to this earlier this week.

In the next build, it will check to see if there is a ship selected before it tries to pop up the dialog.
