351) FIXED 1.03: add_next_advance effect give current tech again

[CaBhaal]

Duplicate Tech recieved with "We discover a new warfare technology during this war"

I did a search before posting this, so please do not shoot me if this has already been reported!

I have gotten the "We discover a new warfare technology during this war" event 5 times now, and each time I have gotten an advance I already had in my capital. Maybe this event is working for others, it is not working for me. I have a high tech level, and if this event is only good up to a cetain level, then maybe it should not kick off.

Interesting.

Which tech was that ?

Only level 5 tech you already had ?

First two were level 1 or 2. Next ones were level 2. Last one was a level 3. Different branch of tech each time (do not remember the specifics, sorry) I say I was high level because my capital is Venice and have tech equal to or greater than every other province atm.

If I get this even again I will record the tech invloved and post.

Are you sure the tech was directed to your capital? It would seem logical to me if the tech would be discovered in the province the army that is fighting the war orginates, did all your provinces have the same tech level as your capital?

OK, just did an experiment. These events are character events 7005 to 7016 in battle_events.txt; one for each war tech advance.

Declared a war. Mobilized troops from capitol province. Selected the troop commander and used the "charevent" cheat to trigger these events one by one. Event was targeted at my capital province, and in every case I was awarded the same tech I had in my province, level 3 if I had the level 3 tech, or level 4 if I had the level 4 tech, etc. It would not give me the next tech for that specific tree.

Tried same thing again using another troop from a province *not* my capitol. Same experiment. Still duplicate techs. Capitol province still the target. Don't think you can have any province but the capitol as a target. They are character events, so they target the province of whatever court the character is part of.

My guess on you not getting a new tech is related to "type = add_next_advance value = *** " somehow not working correctly. (*** being a particular war tech.) I've gone as far on this as I can as the result of "type = add_next_advance value = *** " is all hard code that I cannot see.

Hopefully this is straitforward enough that it helps.

Targeting the capital is WAD.

I did suspect add_next_advance was not really working properly from the console, but I think you're right, it's buggy.

Thanks for reporting,
