Waring Maximum Hypertext Links Exceeded

[gibaut]

Hello . Firstly sincere thanks to the Unit and Mod Creators for making all this so much fun.
Over the last couple of months I have downloaded and added 217 various new units to a revised WW2 WAR IN THE PACIFIC scenario. It all worked perfectly.
Added 6 more last night , loaded the scenario , then went to the Civilopedia just to Check that all the new units have been correctly added ( as I always do ).Clicked on a resource (oil)
Got a message that said
"WARNING ! MAXIMUM HYPERTEXT LINKS EXCEEDED"
The whole thing now hangs .
Cant get out , load a new game , retire , nada , nix , nothing
Only way to exit is switch the PC off ( very naughty )

Is there a maximum number of units one can add , or have I done something daft again ?? Anybody else had the same problem ? Or is this a problem ?
Should I just ignore it ?

Have reset all the units to "NONE" resources "NO TECHS" just to see if all would " build" , and no problem but when I go back to the Civilopedia I get the same message , with the same "Hanging" result.
Whats happening here ?
Help please ... many thanks ...

I've had that happen a couple times to me when I was in the foreign advisor screen. I don't think there is anything to do about but shut you're computer down.

Actually, keep pressing okay until you reach the amount of overflowed links and you'll be fine.

Right. I've had this happen to me in DyP/RnR. Doesn't kill the game, just kind of annoying.

Thank you for your replies and for not commenting on my Typo error

Have worked out the problem , its to do with the limited space in the RESOURCES/UNITS entry in the Civilopedia , once the space is full , you get the warning , and as you say just press "accept" and let the text fall outside the space , then keep fingers crossed that the programme will behave.

Its a pity that there is a limit to the entries as it makes assigning Strategic resources as a build requirement less flexible , and a lot of scenarios are created round capturing and defending these resources .

If you go to the trouble of downloading and adding new units , and want a realistic game , the space limit is a bit annoying.

Does anybody know if there is a way of extending the space ?

The Techs /Units entry seems to be fairly unlimited , seems you can add as many units as you like .

Or perhaps of more use to others who want to add loads of new units AND
assign a strategic resource building requierement ,

Any ideas about how to overcome or reduce the problem?

I have done the following

1) Reduce the unit name length in the Editor ( eg just put P-47 instead of P-47 Thunderbolt , it uses less space = allows more entries))
2) Eliminated the strategic resource requirement for units that are not going to be built . eg the units that start the game but will become obsolete such as say T-26 tanks or Horse units.. Also for units in the editor that you wont build eg Swordsman.. in a WW2 scenario ?
3)Added a new Strategic Resources eg Aluminum

If anyone would know, it would be the folks in the C&C section. I'll move this thread over there, and they can answer.

Any ideas about how to ...reduce the problem?

Here is one of them:

The limit is hard-coded. If you have any more than the limit on any single page, you will get an error popup for each additional link. Civinator's method works because it avoids the error-prone resource pages.

I've had this happen too, but it never crashed the computer.
