Yitzi's unofficial SMAX patch 3.4b

Fixed an old bug in my patch, in which Nano Factory would not properly halve upgrade cost.

Now it will halve upgrade cost, though it still will not afterward round down to the next 10 as in the unpatched version.  If the ability to add rounding is requested, it will be placed in the next full patch version.

It looks like there's been 45 attempts to download in the last 22 hours, and only a report now.  I'll bring this to the attention of our tech doodz...

Ditto.

If you need me to re-upload it, just let me know and I can re-do it (once I found how, it's literally just changing two bytes) and re-upload.

The same problem that appeared with my patch release occurs with the release of Yitzi's patch. I cannot help but feel a certain sense of satisfaction as the people continue to writhe with anticipation.

Still seems to be a problem. No luck with download.

SMAX crashes to desktop after I installed the patch. Before this the original unpached game ran fine.
The issue occurs only in Win 7 32 bit
In Vista 32 bit and Win 8 64 bit the patched game runs perfectly.
The crash happens when I click on a unit to choose it.
Sorry for the Russsin error message. I'll translate it if you need

Another issue in Win 7 is that the game can not be minimized to tray or to window. Actually I can neither switch to another window or to desktop. ALT+Tab, Win, Win+D do not work.

A translation might help, I can't know for sure until I get it.

I myself run it in Windows 7 Home Premium, and it's a 32 bit application, and I can minimize it, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

The inability to minimize might be related to PRACX though (it has resulted in some minimization issues before); you might want to see if disabling PRACX fixes that.

On take 4, I got it to work by zipping it first, so now to download it will require unzipping just like the full patch versions...so you can approve that and delete takes 1-3 and my testing uploads.

It seems that sometime after I uploaded 3.3b, the site upload mechanism changed to cap the size of uploaded files, probably at 2 MB; the unzipped .exe is bigger than that, so it didn't work properly.  Zipping is a workaround, but it would still probably be a good idea to contact Sisko about that limit.

I have a problem with the datalinks. I click on upgrade costs under nano factory and the link goes nowhere. Also no explanation for pop boom.
