Re: [2.1.7] log() and print() stopped working in data stage

Idk about data-stage cache. This is the first time I heard about it. I guess it's enabled by default in 2.1? If so, how do I disable it?

What did you do?
I noticed log() and print() stopped working in 2.1

What happened?
Debug message did not print during data stage. They work fine in control stage.

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
print / log should work during data stage. It ...

Re: Unit Steering Settings

I have seen the code where they used it. It's an unique case where I tried to use it and it seems made no difference. Hence a proper explanation from the devs would be appreciated.

I searched forum and discord, they returned no result. This seems to be an unknown territory to modders.

An API to add new button to the minimap side menu.

Is it feasible to allow mod to add new button into the side bar?

My use case is to use that button to control the custom draws on the map. It's used to show my air raid radar with its custom scan radius. Something like the following.

Re: [2.0.69] Left click not working in blueprint library

The attachment is a MVP mod that reproduced the issue.

Using "selection-tool" type with mouse left click is causing the issue. I extracted the code from the unit_control mod. :D

Reproduce steps:
1. Create a blueprint library with a few books
2. Install the MVP mod and relaunch the game
3. Try ...

Re: [2.0.69] Left click not working in blueprint library

Hi

Teleclast also report the issue on my chat. So I did some digging. Here is what I found so far.

This issue didn't exist in 2.0.66. I see the issue when the mod adds a custom input with mouse-button-1. I tried adding Shift or Alt. The action in blueprint library GUI still broken.

Re: [2.0.64] Territory reappear after calling LuaTerritory destroy()

No I did not explore the whole area. That call destroys the segment unit as well.

From the function description, "Immediately destroys the territory, along with any segmented units guarding it. All associated chunks are cleared from the territory system, allowing the map generator to potentially ...

[2.0.39] Crash (BoundingBox::calcVectorExtension)

What did you do?
I was debugging a mod compatibility issue.

Oddly enough, it happens only when both ColonyBuilder and ERM_Terran mods are enable.

When I disable my ERM_Terran or ColonyBuilder, the game is fine.
