It depends on which version you have..
But the only bug i found to be a nucance was the patrol, i just don't use them.

Nope there is no other editor. But could you describe your bugs with more details? Maybe it's a simple mistake you do, not the program that is buggy. After all, the error is human!

well considering this is up here are my bugs, The patrol i can't get it to set the patrol! second when ever i start up it says all these unable to open so and so, but it works fine when i use it

Thanks
I Think I got the Answer ,Thinking about it...

When I Add Patrols or Missions and Test
It Locks up and goes back to Desktop

It must be the patrols or Missions
Jacques

Thanks !
Which Version are you Using?

Jacques

me? i am using the latest version

How many bugs would you like me to list? I use it for convenience sake but double entries are a problem, undo function is unreliable, can't adjust large gas giants atmosphere settings, can't adjust settings to planets in bottom unkown system, shall i go on? Having said that it's still quick to make a system with it. Oh did i mention the unreliable .dll file supplied? This is the current version btw

Gibbons power comes from bananas

Just so you know. The Atmosphere size of Giants can be channged by making the Ring Size bigger

The Undo function... well it's real but still I simply close the whole program when I make a mistake...

The editor is a great spot to start building a system, but used alone it is useless. I've acutally gotten to the point where I practically never use it - except to make the major objects of the system.

The dll editor is absolutely USELESS. I've come to the decision that I'm only going to use FLEd-ids only for dll editing. It's just not worth my time.

the people behind fle need to fix the one bug that pisses off more people. nothing has any names. unless theres been an update that i dot know about this is still a big thing.

later


p.s dont look behind u

FLE beats the crap out of me. I create a new system, put a sun and 4 planets in it and place a docking ring on each planet. This is far as i can get. I test the system and when launching from a planet i crash to desktop. One minute the planet is fine the next minute i am CTD on take off. This can happen on any of the 4 planets in completely random occurrence. Am i overlooking something obvious or is this just a complete disaster.

I know that bug....you have to check to places:
DATA/UNIVERSE/UNIVERSE.ini
Check that all objects that have [BASE in front of them are before the first [SYSTEM tag begins
Second is when u make fields....and edit them in FLE they make a make a new field file and the old ones directory still remains
Example: DATA/UNIVERSE/SYSTEMS/BW11/BW11.ini
And lets guess you made a field named NewField u put some rocks ETC
You try it out.......and dont like the asteroids in the field....so u open FLE and edit the field zone....NOW this thing happens:
[Asteroids
file = solar\asteroids\BW11_newfield.ini
zone = Zone_BW11_newfield

now when you edit it makes another file and leaves the old one in

[Asteroids <------------------THIS SHOULDNT BE IN ANYMORE THATS WHY CRASHES
file = solar\asteroids\BW11_newfield.ini
zone = Zone_BW11_newfield

[Asteroids
file = solar\asteroids\BW11_newfield2.ini
zone = Zone_BW11_newfield2

And All Patrol Paths crash the systems use the Population zone to get ships wandering around

And all IDS_NAMES are wrong....to make them work I usually have to convert them in FLE_ids and then replace every single one of them.......that bug could be fixed by letting FLE to use command similar to FLE_ids converting method

is there any thing coming out soon that could be better then fle.

p.s dont look behind u

Nope, mainly as FLE took shsan about a year to make at least, with non stop bug fixing and more throughout.

Why would anyone invest so much time, effort and love into something that they make nothing off of?

The only real chance of making something better is to make it yourself, but I honestly think you would be hard pressed. In all truthfulness, you should download the tutorials for FLE and give those a go! Alternatively, learn how to do it by hand
