[0.14.14] Tiered Technology names not being displayed
Posted: Fri Oct 21, 2016 1:07 pm
On the face of it this seems the same as 33847 except its happening in mods.
I wrote a mod back in 0.13 which allows for longer underground pipes along with five technologies to research. The locale cfg file reflects the tech names and defines the text:-
The tech names and descriptions were working fine up until recently (no problems at all with 0.13 and earlier versions of 0.14), however recently both have stopped working. I think this happened with 0.14.13 but its definitely still happening with 0.14.14 on a game we started on Wednesday. It was also noticable on a game we were playing previously which I think was started on 0.14.10. The "feature" seemed to start happening after the upgrade to 0.14.13.

I can get it working if I use the name without the number in the cfg file, but this means all tiers of the technology then have the same name and description. I don't mind the same name but I'd prefer to be allowed to enter individual descriptions for each tier.
and
etc
I did have a look and couldn't see this being named as a new feature but coming across the bug report for the accumulators makes me think this isn't working as intended either. Either way, I'd be grateful for some clarification.
Thanks

Code: Select all

dutchted-pipelines-1=Pipelines 1
dutchted-pipelines-2=Pipelines 2
dutchted-pipelines-3=Pipelines 3
dutchted-pipelines-4=Pipelines 4
dutchted-pipelines-5=Pipelines 5
[technology-description]
dutchted-pipelines-1=Advances in pipe design allowing pipes to be laid underground for short distances
dutchted-pipelines-2=Advances in pipe design allowing pipes to be laid underground for medium distances
dutchted-pipelines-3=Advances in pipe design allowing pipes to be laid underground for long distances
dutchted-pipelines-4=Advances in pipe design allowing pipes to be laid underground for very long distances
dutchted-pipelines-5=Advances in pipe design allowing pipes to be laid underground for extreme distances

I can get it working if I use the name without the number in the cfg file, but this means all tiers of the technology then have the same name and description. I don't mind the same name but I'd prefer to be allowed to enter individual descriptions for each tier.
Code: Select all
[technology-name]
dutchted-pipelines=Hmm, this works
[technology-description]
dutchted-pipelines=Hmm, this description also works
