A very well placed straw man argument, exploiting my lack of domain over english - it actually sentme back, reeling, in search of my verb tables...

But nevertheless, your correction was misplaced. Woke is a proper past tense and it sounds better (or at least more cultured) than "waked"; you'd have done better in nitpicking about the use of "didn't" and "haven't", to which I'd have no defenses...

Oh, my! What am I doing on our beautiful, most peaceful, friendiest board this side of Riedquat?!

Sorry, I'll try to behave and leave any flame(ish) trolling for the

BBS...

EDIT: it must have been a bout of dislexia! That's why I behaved so atrociously on these Sacred Grounds!
Please grant forgiveness to this relapse penitent.

Thanks for the responses but I figured out the problem. It wasn't where I put the set command but how setup my revisit conditions.

I should have Version 2.0 up later today! I still have to finish the planetinfo list.

Er, no.

Defences, man! Defences!

Actually, no. You had the choice of saying either "didn't we wake up" (past tense is in the "did", followed by an infinitive, which is "wake"; you would not say "I did went home yesterday", but "I did go home yesterday") or "haven't we woken up" (past participle). "Haven't we woke up" is completely impossible.

</end of grammar nitpicking, over and out>

Version 2.0 is up on the Wiki!

-SecComs are now interactive with options to:
-Check the latest Navy News
-Buy Victory Bonds to support the war (benefits to patrons)
-And coming soon... signup for Reserve Navy Missions!

-Improved SecCom AI (now random shuttle launches)
-Improved MineSweeper AI (now respond to aggressors)
-Increased Thargoid vs Frigate ratio in interstellar space 3 to 1
-Relocated another SecCom in galaxy 3

WARNING!! I strongly caution against opening the included planetinfo.plist! While I'm not entirely sure of the risks associated, remember that scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark when the nazis opened the ark of the covenant... something like that.

Opening the planetinfo.plist (even against the author's advice

) it was easy to find out that it consistently uses morethan as an operator in the conditions of the script_actions.

The correct operator, however, is greaterthan (see wiki). Therefore please simply replace all morethan with greaterthan.

That will be version 2.1, I guess.

Excellent Work! I'm so glad you risked having your flesh melted off!

So, what you're saying is morethan is not equal to greaterthan

I'll do a quick update with the bug fix today. Interestingly, the morethan does work on my system (MacBook with Intel Core 2 running 10.4). What's more troublesome is that I copied "morethan" out of somebody else's script somewhere. I'm sure not clever enough to have come up with it on my own.

Hm, I think the problem has to be something else. Taken straight from the legacy script source code, scriptTestCondition method:

Code: Select all

else if (([comparisonString isEqual:@"greaterthan"])||([comparisonString isEqual:@"morethan"]))
			comparator = COMPARISON_GREATERTHAN;

What the above means is that the morethan operator should be recognizable and work just as well as greaterthan.

So morethan does equal greaterthan?
