Trade Screen Bug

from Stardock Forums
After I conquered a few other races, I started getting a bug whenever I go to the trade screen that crashes me back to the desktop. Here's the debug:

My debug file contains the same script error lines in it. I checked the GCImps.IMP file and it has a series of greater than and less than symbols at about the line indicated in Machina's post. I was unable to see what might be wrong with the AddTradeRoute01.UPISSUE file.

I also had the same "Bad Memory" lines.

Cheers,
Jack

The Script errors don't cause crashes or anything, but if CVS doesn't overwrite my changes AGAIN then those errors should go away. The Bad Memory lines are usually from loading a saved game (there was a resource leak in the loading code that I didn't catch until after the build went up).

The domestic trade screen that lists all of the trade routes that you own, or the screen where you trade with the aliens, that you can get to from either the Foreign Policy screen or by clicking on the "speak to" button on their star system lists?

I removed the two lines in the GCImp.IMP files that had the strings of greater than and lesser than symbols and got rid of the parse error in that file.

Cheers,
