bug in new test version (fixed in master)

#1 Post by Dilvish »

New test build (build 2017-09-12.1999a7a) available for Windows on sourceforge.
Ack! Vezzra, Sorry, I had merged a seemingly-simple PR last night without testing it enough; a few hours ago I just discovered a bug in it (it takes several turns to develop) and pushed a fix to master, but not in time for your build process. The bug will mess with the AI pretty badly and will result in spamming AI error messages to the user. I hate to ask for a rebuild, but if you can find the time, it would be helpful. :oops:

For what it's worth, while the error message spam was annoying, I'd noticed this and was going to report it and found it fixed, the AIs didn't appear to be behaving uncompetitively even when they were erroring.

For pretty much anyone with the new build, download this Raw copy of the file affected and then copy it into

Code: Select all

default/python/AI/
to replace

Code: Select all

 ResourcesAI.py
Not ideal but it works and it's a simple fix.

I'm pretty sure that it will block the AIs from shifting planets from a non-Industry Focus to an Industry FOcus, so while it might not be very noticeable at first I think it will have a more significant detrimental effect over time.

Thanks much for posting the link for the raw file download, that's a good idea for those folks who don't work with git.

That's ok, things like this happen in software development. ;) I should have time tonight to do another round of test builds, the biggest problem here is me not forgetting about it when I come home today after work... ;)
