Recalc gives a promotion everytime.

[CainStar]

Once again a "cut" from another thread.

Aaaand another thing. When I load my savegame the game asks me to do a recalc(almost everytime I load my game), no biggie takes minute or two. I am still not quite clear on the fact that, is the game suppose to ask for recalc, even thou I haven't update rev. versio? Also I have the option enable which allows you to pick a new promotion, if the old one goes obselete due to research, or by upgrading a unit. Now I have 2 battships(had 12), which I build for sea hunting(I don't remember what units they were originally, decreme maybe?) and promoted them to 'sea hunting'. Now everytime the game makes recalc, those units get a free promotion due to the fact that appeartly battleships can't have sea hunting promotion. I'm quite sure this is not suppose to happen.

CainStar are you using the Official v37 release? Or do you have the SVN set up so you can keep up with the Mods Updates?

In either case there is a Stickied thread for each above this thread you made. Those 2 are were the Bug and Crash reports should go. As T-brd does not always look at these threads below the Stickied ones. And it helps by providing a detail we always need, what version are you playing.

Just a heads up for next time.

I am currently playng on SVN. But as far as I know SVN shouldn't update without my permission....does it? I have the "update" folder on completely different drive, from where I always copy the newest SVN versio, which I manually update, to my actual civ mods folder. Let me know if you still want me to post this to the SVN crash thread.

Known but. No Known solution because the coder that put this detection system in place does not code anymore and I never understood it to begin with. I'm not even sure where in the code it exists. If you haven't updated the codeset in a way that would require a recalc (aka new xml adjustments) then just click no and get to playing.

So this only happens once as the ships lose those promotions right? That's how it should work. How are you saying it's working incorrectly?

I just confirmed it. The recalc doesn't actually remove the "obselete" promotion(Sea Hunter 3) from the unit, it just gives a new promotion.

Ok... I'll need a save where I can replicate the situation.

 

[CainStar]

One savegame as requested.

Thank you. I know it took forever (and I REALLY wish this had been reported in the main Bugs and Crashes threads so it could've been tracked better) but I finally managed to take a look and it didn't take me long to figure out what the problem was. A blend of code issues and flawed xml design. I've got it fixed now.
