  • I have something I've been neglecting to admit.

    but here it goes.

    I really don't like using crawlers.

    Does this make me strange?

Am I the only one with this problem, or is it a programming error in the excel file?
        That's odd, "Starting techs" seems to work for me. Do you have the latest 1.07 version?

        • You are the only one with this problem Maniac. Sheet works perfect for me.

            perhaps it's because civ didn't have units like these. I still tend to play this game too much like civ. I know it hampers my strategy too much, but oh well.

            • After some further investigation it appears the excel sheet worked perfectly after all. The problem lied elsewhere.

                    • I downloaded the file SMAC(X)_Technology_Choices_v1.07.xls.

                      I was trying to use OpenOffice.org 3.0 Beta (Mac OSX Power PC).

                      After I set slot number to 7 and traded technologies to yes, I added Centauri Ecology through the drop down menu. When I hit add/del. I got the error message, "BASIC runtime error. Object variable not set." and "ActiveSheet.Unprotect" was highlighted under the Sub Add_Del ().

                      Has anyone has managed to get the Technology Choices spreadsheet to work under OpenOffice.org?

                      • I assume the problem is that the Excel macros don't work in OpenOffice. Unless there is a way of automatically converting the macros to a format OpenOffice understands, one would have to do it by hand. Unfortunately, my code has essentially no comments, but it doesn't do anything too fancy, so it could be possible for someone to go through it and convert it. If anyone wants to do this, feel free.

                        • Besides what is posted in this thread, are there any other notes, links about your spreadsheet?

                          • As far as I know, this thread has the relevant information concerning the spreadsheet.

                            • In the ACDG5 game, we only got one tech choice, Centauri Empathy, the joker tech, between MY 2131 and MY 2132.

                              I had followed the procedure in this thread and predicted we should also have had Polymorphic Software and Doctrine: Loyalty to choose from.

                              Has anyone encountered this problem before?
