Barbarossa Patch 1.11.8 - Checksum: 334c | LIVE | Patch Notes

[Jack65]

Will the character bugs ever be fixed?

amount_taken_ideas trigger doesnt work for them.
on_add / on_remove doesnt localise for them.
equipment_bonus doesnt work for them.
hidden_modifier doesnt work for them.
localising generic characters doesnt work.

Im getting sick of having to defend characters on the Modding COOP Discord, because they WOULD be great, but in their current state youd be better of not using characters at all BUT I WANT TO BELIEVE IN THEM

Still no fix for all the bugs in the USSR alt history paths though. Advisors don’t work, purge debuffs can never be removed, lose most advisors/generals in CW with no way of getting anything back/new, and more generally the alt-just paths are shallow, poorly thought out and have ZERO benefit vs the Stalin path in terms of gameplay….

But they added a subscription!!! POG!

amount_taken_ideas trigger doesnt work for them.
on_add / on_remove doesnt localise for them.
equipment_bonus doesnt work for them.
hidden_modifier doesnt work for them.
localising generic characters doesnt work.

Unfortunately these issues all still exist.
There are also other issues:

Error log for character definitions is almost non existant. instead of "slot = political_advisor" i can do "slot = poopoo_advisor" and the error log doesnt care. Same for traits which leads me to believe there isnt an error log for characters at all

Characters with unusual letters in their name (like è or ß) work fine, but localising them doesnt work.

activate_advisor doesnt work how its stated in the documentation, it requires the idea token, not the character token. activate_advisor is literally the exact same as add_ideas.

There are many more issues, not really bugs, but severely limiting the useability of characters:

has_trait isnt able to check which advisor has the trait, leading to some edge cases where its literally impossible to determine which advisor has which trait. add_trait / remove_trait otoh REQUIRES the slot defined, so.. yeah... i cant remove a trait from an advisor when its unknown on which advisor the trait is

its impossible to add a characters advisor to a slot without knowing its idea token

its hilariously hard to check if an advisor is assigned to a slot (pls just make an is_assigned trigger)

The command to scope to a party leader of an (sub)ideology is extremely restricting to use since it can only scope to ONE (!) party leader at a time. So for example if you want to create an array of party leaders you need to iterate through all of them X amount of times, where x is the total number of subideologies. Please just make it an array by default

There unfortunately also are 0 arrays or variables related to characters (lets not count the army_leader array since thats old). Like an array with only advisors. An array with only party leaders. At the moment we need to use every / any_character for everything. This is unfortunately the new standard it seems since LAR also had very few variables / arrays

Something should really be done about the fact that Recon literally has no benefit on the offense. The latter is just ridiculous when one considers the operational advantage of recon IRL.

Yes! Please make fixing this a priority - the character system is so close to being amazing!
