Ideological Traits not working

from GalCiv3 Forums

Hi,

I have a problem with ideological traits. I unlocked enough points to aply on Benevolent I Pioneering, Pragmatic I Constructive and Malevolent I Militaristic. All this traits should give me some ships. Pioneering gives a fully loaded colony ship, constructive three constructor vessels and militaristic a free frigate. When I aply the points they are gone but I dont get the ships.

I updated my game to actual version. No change!

I deleted my game with all local data on my computer, then reinstalling game. No change!

I checked damadged files, found two, repaired them. Still no change!

I´m using a mod I´m working on and it worked prety well till last weekend. Problems started with version 1.0. I heard that this problem appeared earlier when user deleted their custom ships, but this should be fixed now. Well I also deleted a custom colony and a custom survey ship.

Any Ideas how to fix the Problem?

I'm having the same issue. Friday night, pragmatic constructor worked. Last night it didn't.

Patch 1.01 included a fix for:

  Fixed an issue that would cause you to not be given ships by ideological events and anomalies if you obsoleted those ship designs in your ship lists

Could that have been your problem?  You would have had to have started a new game after getting 1.01 to see the fix.

Yea, it's a fresh game, and the ships have never been obsoleted for me in any game, not manually.

same here, game has the latest version and i start everytime a new game to see if it works. never obsoleted ships just deleted some of my own designs. so this shouldnt affekt the original game designs...

is it possible that the game wont give free ships if i have a negative income? I tried again a game and I got my free construcktors with positive income, but on my mod still no free ships.

I tested this and it seems to be working for me.

Nimrod you mention that you are using a mod. With 1.01 (to keep obsoletion from effecting ship awards) we switched all the things that grant free ships to granting special versions of these free ships. If your mod replaces the ShipBlueprintDefs.xml or ShipClassDefs.xml and doesn't bring these definitions over then it wouldn't work.

If that isn't it I would love to see a save with this issue.

i checked my mod and i have my own ShipClassDefs.xml. i didnt put in every ship from the other factions beacause i just wanted to change some of the ships. my file is renamed so it shouldnt replace the original ShipClassDefs.xml, it just ads my ships to the existig terran ships. if i understand you right, i have to put all the ships in this file, even if i use the original ones? usualy the game complaines about double entrys.
