Wrong BlueprintAugmentDef values for the xxxxRepairNaniteCloudShip ship classes in ShipClassDefs.xml

June 22, 2024 7:56:19 PM from Galactic Civilizations IV ForumsGalactic Civilizations IV Forums

You guys have the wrong data values for the following:

    <ShipClass>
        <InternalName>AltarianRepairNaniteCloudShip</InternalName>
        <DisplayName>TerranAllianceRepairNaniteCloudShip_Name</DisplayName>
        <Description>TerranAllianceRepairNaniteCloudShip_Dec</Description>
        <ThumbnailOverride>Altarian_Cutter_01T.PNG</ThumbnailOverride>
        <ShipHullType>Small</ShipHullType>
        <ShipRule>Balanced</ShipRule>
        <ShipDesign>Altarian_Cutter_01T</ShipDesign>
        <AIShipClass>Frigate</AIShipClass>
        <StrategicIcon>Cutter</StrategicIcon>
        <BlueprintDef>CutterBlueprint</BlueprintDef>
        <BlueprintAugmentDef>BPAugment_RepairNaniteCloudShip</BlueprintAugmentDef>
    </ShipClass>

That blueprint augment definition does not exist.

 

Instead, it should be BPAugment_RepairNaniteCloud .

After locally correcting, via a Mod, it is starting to look correct in the Ship Designer now.

Gentlemen,

Not only have I previously reported this issue, but now I have provided a fix.

Please incorporate this fix to your ShipClassDefs.xml file as soon as possible.

Thank you.

To be clear, in the ShipClassDefs.xml file, the following changes are needed:

  • BPAugment_ShieldBubbleShip --> BPAugment_ShieldBubble
  • BPAugment_RepairNaniteCloudShip --> BPAugment_RepairNaniteCloud

Hello Dorian, this has been relayed to the team accordingly, it may take a bit before the fix is introduced as most of the office will be out for a week on holiday

I've reviewed this and found 52 places where ship was used in ShipClassDefs.xml when it probably shouldn't be there.  A  quick search and replace fixed it for me in a mod.  I haven't tried the mod to see if anything was messed up by the change.  I think it will take more than a quick fix to fix it and make sure it didn't break anything.

I've run the game with and without the mod I made.  The mod seems to fix the problem and doesn't cause a problem that I could see.

Here is what is available to build at a shipyard without the mod.

If it just gets fixed at all I would be very happy!

I think the "Ship" suffix is ok as long as it exists in the the blueprint augment definition XML file using the same name.

The ones reported above are the edge-case where the same names for those 2 above were not consisently used.

 

I have a local Mod (much the same as the other one independently discussed here) that fixes it with no issues to report.

Most of the stuff is not rocket science and a capable software engineer is able to fix without messing things up.  Do you think I have not thoroughly tested my suggested fix (or any other one suggested for the other bugs reported)?

Very nice.  

My local mod does that as well and gets rid of the goofy "Repair Nanite Cloud" prefix for ships missing the component.

I know, right?

All they had to do was open the Ship Designer from the Main Menu and should have been able to tell something was not right!

Despite the gas-lighting on the Steam forums, to me it was obvious something was broken.
