VV : Milita vs Archer Bug

[ThomasH]

Well here is a very strange bug :


Maybe u have noticed that the attack value of Militias vs archers is 0 %.
At the 1st moment i thought its just a gameplay "balance" change in
VV - but its not , its a bug as we see when we open the
/common/units/milita.txt the value there is still 0.5 (50 %)

After testing to change the values and restarting the game (various times)
i found out that when i put
"archers = 0.5" in the 1. Line instead at the bottom

i get "Milita vs archers" = 50 %
but
"Militia vs Horse archers" = 0 %


So whats wrong here ? I cant say cause im not a programmer.

But found a fix , that when i put
the militia = 1.0 on the last line (cause the last line may not be lower than 1.0
)
all the values work properly.

Strange bug for me though cause all other units like heavy intf etc work ok.

What, this bug again? This also happened in EU3. Add an empty line to the end of the unit file, that should fix it if it's the same bug. The trireme unit file is also lacking an empty line at the end of the file, so this might be affecting them too.

Militia's attack value against archers is indeed (correctly) displayed as .5. The issue should only show if - when modding values - You forgot to add a final endline. The released unit files do contain endlines (report if that isn't so).

(As for "triremes" the last line happens to be the first line of the values block.)

I'm pretty sure I corrected missing endlines on my copy, even though I didn't touch the unit files before that. This is on a copy downloaded from Gamersgate a few days ago. Not sure if any unit besides the militia was missing the endline.
