I got my turn results and a lot of my turn was messed up due to no fleet number attached to the action. on the input program everything is as it should be. I don't know what to do about it. I am low on income due to rebuilding and when I base my turn on the income building actions at the beginning of my turn and they do not work due to a screw up in the programming....it messed up my entire turn.
I would ask Thom (thomwalla@aol.com) about it

Okay, sorry about the messed up actions. Since we restarted the game have had players forgetting to put a fleet number in their turns for some action codes. This causes a crash and Randy has to search for the bad action and correct it or delete if he couldn't figure out what fleet the player actually wished to use. At first because we didn't have that many players and it wasn't too bad. However last week it took a considerable time to fix everything due to the sheer number of players. Not complaining. We like the players coming back to the game. But if we got many more and the same thing happened over and over it was going to take forever to get through the run.

So I reactivated old code that checked to make sure a player entered a fleet id for actions that required one. (I programmed this into the old input program so a player could not enter an action that needed a fleet id to take care of the problem on the players side rather than the code side) Trouble was in the original code certain action checks were not programmed correctly, 5 to be exact. Probably why the code was discontinued a long time ago. After I reactivated it I randomly checked about 10-15 action codes to make sure they would run and they all did. But Murphey's law says you don't check the ones that are bad. So good news. Code fixed. And better news Randy will be contacting anyone with a bad result due to this and make it right. So stay tuned to your email for a message from him. And again sorry for messing up your turns.
