Problems with new complex ruleset [WIP]

[KingMob4313]

Okay, I'm just running through some of the more complicated portions of my ruleset, and now I need to capture an engineer.

Anyone have a bit of copy pasta for my save file that can put that in there?  I've already used save file editing to fake prerequisites for things, but going through the mess of capturing just for testing sucks.

1. Find "items" section (there are several, find the one that lists all the stuff stored at your relevant base)

2. Add line(s) for the kept aliens, like:

Code: [Select]

      STR_SECTOID_CORPSE: 12
      STR_SECTOID_ENGINEER: 1
      STR_SECTOID_LEADER: 2
      STR_SECTOID_MEDIC: 2

Perfect!

I actually didn't have any save games left where I had some captured aliens.  This will help my testing immensely.

Okay, new problem has appeared: I am getting a crash when manufacturing produces an item and I am a little baffled as to why?

The item looks good

Code: [Select]

Same with the research code:

Code: [Select]

  - name: STR_REMAN_HUMAN_PLASMA_PISTOL
    cost: 400
    points: 10
    dependencies:
      - STR_ALIEN_WEAPONS
      - STR_PLASMA_PISTOL
      - STR_ALLOY_MANUFACTURING
And the manufacturing:

Code: [Select]

  - name: STR_REMAN_HUMAN_PLASMA_PISTOL
    category: STR_WEAPON
    requires:
      - STR_REMAN_HUMAN_PLASMA_PISTOL
    space: 5
    time: 40
    cost: 4000
    requiredItems: STR_PLASMA_PISTOL
    producedItems: STR_HUMAN_PLASMA_PISTOL
Anyone encounter this before?

[KingMob4313]

Even weirder, it's crashing at

Code: [Select]

int RuleSoldier::getFloatHeight() const
{
return _floatHeight;
}
Where a value is being set.

[KingMob4313]

Okay, fixed a few things in the manufacturing yaml

Code: [Select]

  - name: STR_REMAN_HUMAN_PLASMA_PISTOL
    category: STR_WEAPON
    requires:
      - STR_REMAN_HUMAN_PLASMA_PISTOL
    space: 5
    time: 40
    cost: 4000
    requiredItems:
      STR_PLASMA_PISTOL: 1
    producedItems:
      STR_HUMAN_PLASMA_PISTOL: 1
And it's still crashing.

Okay, getting things down...

Will the game crash if you manufacture something you don't have all the prereqs to actually use?

[KingMob4313]

Okay, seems to be an issue with my linkage between research and manufacturing. Disregard.
