Unable to research
« on: July 03, 2010, 03:29:52 am »
Playing the recent 2.3 stable, I finally captured a Scout and researched it... I get the complete message but when I go to the research screen in base, it shows still pending.  When I click cancel, it says complete.  Also, I received messages on proposals for astrogation, propulsion, and navigation but they do not appear in my list at all.  The messages themselves are completely blank.

Upon reload, the message saying I was still in progress disappeared.  Seems it kept the old labels since I did not have any new stuff (I noticed this with auto battle too, if you previously had done a battle with loot and then an auto battle, it shows the loot from the previously played battle, even though you got none).  Still having the issues w/ propulsion, astrogation, and navigation though.  Uploaded all my saves.

you can't research those techs because you don't have the items at the research base. Transfer them to the research bases.

Beside this It's a bug IMHO that researched not shown on the bottom as unresearchable topics... I'll check that.

Well according to the code, it is not a bug but a missing feature: :)

Code: [Select]
/** @todo add missing items, unresearchable items */

I had moved them to every base I had, still not showing up.  Even in my savegame uncompressed the entry for the tech shows reasearchable as a 0

Well, I used your save, and they showed up!
researchable flag depends on the base you're checking at. To be honest I wanna get rid of it and split the technology and research to different structures. Didn't have time to do it yet.

One thing I did notice though, i was able to reasearch the ship weapons without moving them to a new base.
