108 Alpha: Convoy Production Bug

[Pang Bingxun]

In the order Arsenal of Democracy\scenarios\1936 you find the files japan.inc, uk.inc and usa.inc. They have in common the following corrupt entries:

convoy_development = 
  { id = { type = 13016 id = 1000 } 
    name = "" 
    date = { year = 1950 month = november day = 5 } 
    close_when_finished = yes 
    retooling_time = 60.0000 
    size = 99 
    type = transports 
  }

convoy_development = 
  { id = { type = 12700 id = 1000 } 
    name = "" 
    date = { year = 1950 month = november day = 5 } 
    close_when_finished = yes 
    retooling_time = 60.0000 
    size = 99 
    type = transports 
  }

convoy_development = 
  { id = { type = 14800 id = 1000 } 
    name = "" 
    date = { year = 1950 month = november day = 5 } 
    close_when_finished = yes 
    retooling_time = 60.0000 
    size = 99 
    type = transports 
  }

These entries lack proper costs. If not played by a human the costs will be set to 0 and so will be the daily progress be 0, too. It may even lead to a lack of convois because the AI thinks it already builds concoys. But it does not. In order to fix it the proper costs of 2 IC need to be added:

convoy_development = 
  { cost  = 2
    id = { type = 13016 id = 1000 } 
    name = "" 
    date = { year = 1950 month = november day = 5 } 
    close_when_finished = yes 
    retooling_time = 60.0000 
    size = 99 
    type = transports 
  }

convoy_development = 
  { cost  = 2
    id = { type = 12700 id = 1000 } 
    name = "" 
    date = { year = 1950 month = november day = 5 } 
    close_when_finished = yes 
    retooling_time = 60.0000 
    size = 99 
    type = transports 
  }

convoy_development = 
  { cost  = 2
    id = { type = 14800 id = 1000 } 
    name = "" 
    date = { year = 1950 month = november day = 5 } 
    close_when_finished = yes 
    retooling_time = 60.0000 
    size = 99 
    type = transports 
  }

also delete the retooling time. AFAIK ai doesnt build anything if retooling time is added.

i posted a working code here:
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...07-fixpack&p=12874964&viewfull=1#post12874964

this works definately for ai as well

That is not true. If the AI upgrades a production linie a retooling time is added like if it was a human player. And the retooling time is regularily reduced till the production will be continued.

This retooling is not needed at all as this would merely represent commercial shipping under construction.

BTW I'd say there are by far not enough convoy transports in the game and the pre-set builts are by far too low. The CORE team made some good research for commercial shipping and is sometimes using far higher numbers. And even then, with lots of trades you may still run out of convois. This is a problem for the AI as it does not cancel trades to free up convoys.
