1876 Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 quick note: phillipines and venezuela are spelled differently in the electorate trends and region variable files. Its not the problem, just something i noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny_raoul Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 sven has sent me an updated regional_variables file, it doesn't fix the error and I thinkt he changes are minor, but if you want to use that one as a basis to trya nd fix this, I'll send it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sven Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 The correct spelling is "Philippines" and "Venezuela" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sven Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 I think I have solved this problem, despite not even owning P4E. The problem is that we have regions in the game with more than 5 parts on the map, namely Canada, Carribean, Indonesia, Philippines, and Scandinavia. So I've produced a new map, with only 5 for each of them. It's required some "creative" mapmaking, but I've tried to keep it as realistic as possible. I'm gonna send off a new regional_variables file and map to Johnny. Although really all you need to change is those five regional files I've listed above, but it's up to him whether he completely redoes the regional variables file or just changes those five regions. Anyway, I think that explains the error, namely there was an irregular number of lines within the region_variables files, and that they were trying to read the word "Democracy" as a number, because they were out of order. PS. I discovered this whilst trying to solve another problem in the Global Senate game which still hasn't been solved. Grr! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sven Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I still get the block error, but it passes and is replaced with this: My point being that the game is now playable. I will send it back to Johnny to work on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sven Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Yeah, I'm having that problem with my 2005 world scenario too. I don't understand it, but it doesn't affect the game's playability, so I'l keep working and if it's still not fixed at the end then I'll worry about it.

Kerry Edwards for President Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 "'Democracy' is not a valid integer value" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I had the same problem. You must have put "Democracy" somewhere in the "year of entry" space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sven Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I'm fairly certain that problem is caused by having more than 5 sections for a region on the map. You can only have it divided into five parts. Any more than that and the whole region variables file gets thrown out of whack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony_270 Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 The limit in the current President Forever / PM Forever engines is 5 distinct geographical areas for any given region (state, province, and so on). The region_variables file has to have 5 x,y coordinate pairs listed for each region, with 'none' put instead of coordinates if there are less than 5 distinct geographical areas.

Myke Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Sadly, you just have to live with it... If it's a group of islands, you might do better to just indicate them with a box, if they can't be quietly joined up to each other with one-pixel bridges.
