Will you be able to buy Free Infantry if you have negative money?

More like getting free stuff from a store only to find out you owe them whole wads of cash.

If they broke it, then they should fix it.

It's because of crates. There's a crate that takes away your money, and if it takes away more than you have then you get negative money. This is especially troublesome when you have no refinery and are in the negative several hundreds.

Yah, they have both of those kinds of crates. I guess they haven't gotten enough complaints to get rid of the demoney crate.

I don't know much coding, but if you have the players money as X and the money taken away as Y, wouldn't a simple logic thing like this work:
IF X < Y
Then X = 0
ELSE
X = X - Y
Well...wouldn't it be as simple as something like that?
This is a signature. Reading this is wasting your time.

I think the problem is that Rene works with .xx credits/points as well.

Well..
if (money < cost) { return 2; } // Insufficient Funds
else { return 0; } // Allow
But yes, that's exactly the problem. Westwood didn't think we'd ever have negative money. But I still have to find the location that rejects it. Haven't so far!

I don't think we'll fix it because it is not important enough.
