The screenshot that appears when an is_partial_recorded unit is tried to copy_from, and the refreshed version of the mod. |

UPDATE: There actually IS a bug with all the copying from units that already were copies with changed systems. While the popup shows itself regardless the actual effect seems to only occur when the unit copied from was already a vanilla game unit with changed system. In this new version of the test mod it adds a Station-Keeping Devestator (which is a copy of the Siege Frigate with a modified weapon), and while it does add the unit requested the weapon is reverted to the very base weapon of the Siege Frigate. |

Oh, dear. That's incredibly complicated. This is something I'd like to take care of, but there's a lot going on right now with other bugs and multiplayer. This will probably take a few hours to hunt down at the best case at some point. |

Kinda was afraid of that... Any ETA? Because I thought the popup was not really important I have already changed all the game files to how they should be if it worked, it'd take me a lot of work and copy&paste garbage to revert (and when it's fixed re-revert). |

To my mind, modding support for more esoteric stuff (and this counts) is very low priority. If it were me I'd say "Not till after multiplayer" |
|
|
Unfortunately, that's what I'm also thinking. I hate holding up mods, but multiplayer is one of those things that will get pushed out forever if I'm not careful. |
|

Well, I guess modding in copy&paste stuff will have to do for now. |

FINALLY got this one, and wound up doing it without even needing the Deep Clone library in the end: * Fixed a longstanding and possibly-trivial issue where when you had one entity copy_from another, it would invert the order of any child nodes. ** So if it was Gun1, Gun2, etc, then it would be Gun2, Gun1 on the second entity. ** Most entities have only one gun, so that was not very visible on th UI, but it was misordering all their various other systems like cloakers, tachyon or tractor beams, etc. * When there are multiple levels of copy_from, the game now does a more thorough recursive copy to the entire chain, with both attributes and child nodes. ** This has zero impact on the existing ships in the game, which is what we had hoped for. ** However, there were many funky errors that could happen to suitably complex chains of copy_froms, mostly in mods, but not limited to that. These are all finally fixed! ** Thanks to NRSirLimbo for going so far as to even create a demonstration mod that broke in many glorious ways until now. |
