v1.30 Bugs Thread

[Ancalagon]

Not sure if I missed something, but i have a severe lack of naval officer. I have a 40 years game with a conventional start, and i barely have 60 naval officers... I have a military academy level 14, i should have enought haven't I?

That does sound odd, but I can't see a problem in the code. Anyone else have a similar problem?

It seems you only get ONE new commander per month construction cycle, regardless of the number of Military Academies you have:



I tested with 7 academies and got 1 commander per month. Used SM edit to change it to 70 academies, and I still get exactly 1 new commander per month.

Looks like a big officer bug.

Even the Race Details screen says I should be getting around 30 new commanders per month (355 per year):

Researching a new armor level does not automaticly updates the type of armor for class design.

It will update new designs but not the one that were created before the research was completed.

IE: NameOfClass MK1 has conventional armor -> Duranium armor is researched -> NameOfClass MK1 still has conventional armor, even if not locked, not produced, etc...

NameOfClass MK1 has conventional armor -> Duranium armor is researched -> NameOfClass MK2 (copy of  NameOfClass MK1) still has conventional armor

Any design created after the armor change will be correctly impacted

That's by design. Same in VB6 and why there's a update amour button for when you do "copy design"

unkfester discovered this and I was able to reproduce (in 1. 2. 0, but don't believe this has been reported).   

When initially opened, the Turret Design window has inaccurate stats (everything's zeroed-out).    This occurs even when a valid weapon is selected by default.    The correct stats appear when the user makes a selection using the weapon selection dialog (whether to select a new weapon or re-select the same one).

Yeah, i now have 22 (!!) academies, and exactly one naval officer per month

Not entirely sure if this is bug or just missing feature.

Ships don't tell you they've run out of possible standing orders. So they will just sit there until you notice them, or one of the conditional ones trigger.

Needs more info on this one. Usually, you get a log XXX completed its orders, or an alert when an order cannot be carried further: XXX cannot survey as there are not acceptable bodies within XXX km. I haven't come across such a situation yet and I have many ships going around so it may be possible one or 2 have slipped out my sight.

It is actually 1 new commander per construction cycle. So if you do 5-day turns, you can get 1 per 5 days.

That's not what I'm seeing. I got 5 academies. Race Details say I should get around 2 a month. Checking last 3 months I got 6 total of all types.
3 of which was naval.

Seems about right

Edit: It's probably max 1 per cycle yeah. My cycle was often enough to keep up, but 3 months doing 30 day only gave me 3 guys

V 1. 30

When you open the Events window, and click on a report (for example some construction completed), the new window will open for a brief amount of time on top of the events window, and then go below the event window.

But if you close that window, and without closing the Events window you click the same report again, then the new window opens and stays on top.

XXX completed orders I get.
Not the XXX cannot survey as there...

Try doing 30-day turns, and you will only get 1 per month instead of the expected 2 per month.

I just gave myself 71,000 military academies on Sol for an even more extreme demonstration. Skipping 30 days forward still gives me exactly 1 new officer each month.

I have experienced the same thing: http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=10684.msg122506#msg122506

I concur, I have a naval officer almost every turn now doing 5 days turn, instead of 1 officer per month

Edit : I've set construction cycle time to 43000, and it's nice to see all these youngs turning to the military sundendly

Civilian contracts work very well now, but it's not exact. I asked for 500x infrastructure supplied on Earth, and 100x infrastructure demanded on five different Sol colonies.

All 500 was delivered and the supply contract disappeared, as well as four of the demand contracts. But the fifth colony's demand contract is still waiting for 20 infrastructure.

No civilian ships were destroyed by combat at any point. I assume one ship accidentally delivered 20 extra infrastructure to one of the colonies by accident. This happened occasionally in VB6 as well.

I had something similar with 100 auto mines and two different colonies and I did a supply of 200 from earth. 1 colony got 98 and the other one got 102.

v1.20, but checked for previous reporting of bug and/or fixing

Retirement event message *always* says "Current assignment: Unassigned" even if they were assigned to something.

Hopefully the one-officer-per-construction-cycle bug has an easy solution.
