[1.6 Bug] Movement and Advanced Tracking techs not working

The movement and advanced tracking techs (Amarian) do not seem to be giving the +1 to movement to units as described.

 

Anyone else notice this?

 

Just out of curiosity I tried adding the ability bonus (A_Agility) to a custom tech and playing with the value but it appeared to have no effect on unit movement.

Hi,

Thanks for the bug report.  This has been fixed internally now.  And since you mentioned editing xml, in case you are curious, the A_Agility ability is actually old and no longer affects anything in game now.  However, any ability named A_[UnitStatTypeInternalName] will provide a multiplier bonus to that stat for every unit owned by a player.  Therefore, if you are interested in making a tech to change the movement stat of your units (or any other unit stat, for that matter), you can have it affect e.g. A_UnitStat_Moves.  The bug you mentioned will be fixed for the next update, but I thought I would mention that as a general mod-tip :).

This is still issue in my game, started with 1.06 patch (now playing with 1.07).

 

 

P.S.

Have checked Techs_Amarian.xml (in 1.07), and Movement tech it still uses A_Agility as GameModifier, making it not do anything.

As for Advanced Tracking, it uses now A_UnitStat_Moves, with value of 10, which essentially gives +10% bonus to movement.

Savegames store the xml data from the time of creation, so patch xml changes will not appear unless you start a new game.

OK, I restarted new game with 1.07, and noticed that Advanced Tracking Agility icon is different from one used by Movement (was not true with 1.06 save), when browsing technologies.

Also, by using debug mode with Ctrl-R (gives all techs) only +10% bonus to movement is gained (probably with fixed Advanced Tracking), so I guess Movement tech still doesn't function with new 1.07 games.

If using 1.06 save, doing same (Ctrl-R) gives no bonus at all.

 

P.S.

Is there any cheat in game that gives only one tech?
