Re: Vanilla Evade/Retreat Crash fix

Just to be clear. Your above 'Vanilla Evade/Retreat Crash fix' disables ANY usage of B/C HOB files in BotF (trek.exe, Falcon and MPR+), No, b, c hob is still being used in combat. as my video shows it still switches 9 time right now (even with current ECM models), 3 times for each hob. Just uses sa...

Most likely yes, but without further fixture I think you will have to add another 130 ships this case. :mrgreen:

Re: launcher GUI with J-shipedit

Hi Everyone,

After further testing "launcher GUI with J-shipedit" is limited to a shiplist of 125 ships (vanilla total)
J-shipedit only reads first 125 lines of database.txt all other line are ignored.

so even the edited/fixed B194 would no longer work.
