3.19 Upgrade Problem

[EATherrian]

Hi all,

I read through the threads but did not see this. I recently upgraded to 3.19 for BTS and noticed last night that when I did an alt-upgrade for a unit type not all of that unit would upgrade. These units are all garrison units, non-moving and not new. In fact for some of the upgrades it took me 5-6 different alt-upgrades to actually upgrade them all. Am I the only one getting this problem? Anyone have any idea how to fix it?

Thanks,

Bill

just checking: did you have sufficient money to do all the upgrades?
could you provide a save?

Yes there is a issue with the "Upgrade all units" function in 3.19 ( and probably previous versions of BtS as well ), ori. See here and subsequent posts.

Quoting jdog some posts after...

Well, that was a fun bug ... a classic example of the dangers of using pointers. The loop upgrading all units had a check for whether the loop unit was of the same type as the original unit, but used a pointer to the original unit. At some iteration of the loop, the original unit would be upgraded and what the pointer pointed to would change, short-circuiting the upgrade. Saving the unit type to upgrade before the loop was all it took to fix.

The fix he is refering is the 3.19 Unofficial pacth

didn't know that - guess I'll have to read the unofficial patch subforum more often

Awesome. That patch looks like it will do the trick! I'll download it when I get home today.
