Hi,

This is the specs of my mobile lappy which i carry ard with the SVN
R21950.

System - WIN XP SP3, Internal 256MB Geforce, 768MB Ram, 1GHz Processor, HP
Laptop.

Self Compiled the SVN R21950 couple of days ago and continues to Beta test. Encountered this issue:
When you have researched DF cartridges successfully, you will see this screenshot.

Note that in my case, i have not bothered with laser pistol at all (Still unresearched) and only researched Laser Rifle and DF Cartridges.

But note the description - pistol is displayed. And I noticed that even when laser pistol is researched, the weapon is not multiple - only laser pistol is displayed.

There is 4 bugs here:
1) Laser pistol's info should not be displayed when not researched.
2) Laser Rifle's info is not displayed when researched before laser pistol.
3) Laser Rifle and Laser Pistol not BOTH displayed when BOTH researched.
4) DF Cartridges should not be researchable if Either Laser Pistol / Rifle / Heavy Laser is not researched.
In fact, Heavy Laser should not even be researchable if BOTH laser rifle AND Pistol are not displayed - simple reason - u cannot work to get a better more sophisicated weapon if something much simpler are not established.

DF Cartridges Issue

this sounds like a tech tree issue. BTAxis, please have a look at the require tags of the techs

1) and 2) and 3) I think this is a bug in the UFOpaedia code, really. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the tech script.

4) Not a bug. There's no reason why the cartridges shouldn't be researchable before the weapons, and we've consciously decided not to daisy chain the weapons.

if this is a general error, other techs might be invisible, too - set to higher priority
