[Oxyd] [0.17.x] Research Queue

[wormmus]

Issue: Game does not save the option chosen on map creation for Research Queue availability.

When you are creating a new game, and you use a Map Exchange Key that has Research Queue disabled, and manually change it following importing the key, the game has RQ enabled. When you save and close the game, then reload the game, RQ is disabled.

[Klonan]

I cannot reproduce the issue, creating a save from exchange string with RQ enabled, then saving and loading, the RQ is still enabled

Can you provide any further instructions to try and reproduce the issue?

[haellsigh]

In order to reproduce the issue, you have to disable the RQ then create the exchange string.

Once that's done, importing the string and then enabling RQ will create a new map with RQ disabled.

I guess there's an internal reason why Research Queue setting is under New Game / Advanced / Technology,
and not, say, Settings / Interface(?) / Interaction(??) ?

Once that's done, importing the string and then enabling RQ will create a new map with RQ disabled.

I just woke up, and this is how it was done.

I've just stumbled upon this one as well [0.17.4]
I created a map earlier in the week and saved the exchange string just in case, but I'd forgotten to enable the research queue (was in the default "After the game is finished" state).
Tried to start the game again by pasting in the exchange string and changing the queue setting, but it's still disabled in game.

I eventually managed to get the queue to turn on with what *should* be the same map settings by changing one other setting and putting it back.

Queue is now actually enabled in game immediately and also after importing (5).

=======================

TL;DR Workaround:

1. Import original exchange string with research queue disabled/default.
2. Enable queue
3. Change another setting (eg Terrain/Water Scale) and put it back.

Queue should now actually be enabled.

Thanks, should be fixed in 0.17.7.
