HCE - 2007.029

==============

- Chg:0000 SE When lots of ship/sub/aircraft classes are in the DB, it could

overflow the maximum contents of a 16-bit listbox. Fix is

to dynamically narrow the width of the shown fields so that

all entries are shown. This will mean some country names,

class names, and side names may be cut short to make each

entry small enough for them all to show. (thanks Rene)

- Chg:0000 GE An attempt was made to have the GE not crash if a scenario

has groups with no units.

 

What to test:

Try opening some scenarios in the GE that have empty groups. Not only add a last empty group and save in the SE, but also try adding a couple of proper groups after the empty group.

 

http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?showtopic=2365 is one to test.

Tony,

 

I don't know about anyone else, but the latest GE release (HC2007.029GE.ZIP) will not run under Vista on my system. The new GE gets as far as the scenario selection screen, and then Windows informs me that it has stopped working. The SE (HC2007.029SE.ZIP) appears to work fine. Going back to HC2007.028GE still works OK also.

Good to know, anyone else have trouble? I run Vista and have no trouble but that doesn't mean all that much

Same trouble here under XP

 

sorry to say

Okay, I've uploading a re-compiled copy of the same code, how does it work now?

Tony,

 

Vista user here. It seems OK now. I'd be lying if I claimed to understand why, but as long as you do, I guess that's what counts.

 

Thanx,

Fine! seems to be ok.

The .029 GE I downloaded at 5PM New York City time work properly on both my XP SP2 and Vista machines.

However, the .029 SE has that empty group problem you mentioned. The attached save has an empty group followed by 2 normal groups and crashes both the Vista and XP machines.

Thanks guys, I'll take out my fix for empty groups since it only applies to my machine.
