Battling with Weird Bugs
No, I'm not talking about a '50s sci-fi flick, I've encountered some strange quirks in my newly-finished scenario. Here's a list. I may add to it as I go.
1.) the "r" key, which is normally used to order settlers to build roads, now activates the pop-up window that asks me if I'm sure I want to stage a revolution.
2.) the "c" key, which normally centers the map on the unit that's flashing, now activates the "goto" command and a pop-up window appears with a list of cities on it.
3.) For the first time ever, I'm manually writing an events file instead of using the MGE editors to create it for me. Of course, things are not firing, going wrong, and not appearing at all. So, is the difference between lower-case and upper-case important? Looking at half-a-dozen other events files from other scenarios, I notice that the commands and triggers are all written in caps, while the other stuff is written in lower-case letters. Is this important? How does one go about using the "parsing" thing? The instructions in the manual are, not surprisingly, completely inadequate in describing how the thing should be used.
4.) Lastly, DON'T tell me not to ever use the MGE editors. I've already heard it, thanks. I KNOW they're wacky and I decided not to use 'em this time. And, of course, everything is going wrong despite that. Typical.
