Hey, I´ve upgraded my Light Figher (it was suspicious, cause I didn´t research ANYTHING of air techs)... The thing is that I can upgrade my LF without any effect...
 
I don't understand what you mean.
 
I suspect he is talking about the unit upgrade feature which might be modded (the unit_upgrades.txt). Since he didn't research anything, the upgrade did not change anything.
 
Pretty much as Nephandus said... It´s just a minor issue, but it consumes your IC for no reason...
 
Check the level of the INT. It might have just gone from Level I to Level II, and not from INT to, say, FTR.
 
Nope, I´m sure I didn´t research any techs before, not even after upgrade... When I upgrade the LFTR, the upgrade icon was still there... It was upgrade from LFTR to LFTR...
 
Well.... even if you had researched any tech... it wouldn't do too much good since the fighter components upgrade themselves if you allocate IC to upgrades.
Using the unit upgrade function is normally used to allow changes of unit types.

So technically it is not a bug, it is only a superfluous change to the unit_upgrade.txt
 
Yes, next time tell us that you're using a mod to begin with. HPP allows you to manually upgrade planes into different types, as well as subs and destroyers into better models. Because this is a timeconsuming progress, it isn't done automatically but requires you to click that upgrade button.

Unfortunately for you, the way the mechanics are, means that it is entirely possible to upgrade from your current model into the exact same current model, thus wasting IC. You just have to be careful!

Ok, I´ll take my time next time then...:p
 
I wonder which version of HPP... I just checked the latest files we published.

The Interceptor (which is the light fighter) can upgrade to rocket interceptor, multirole (which is the heavy fighter) and the jet interceptor.... but not to itself
 
Fuh, I guess it´s a one big mystery then... Probably I´ve failed some re-writing of files or maybe bad removeal of files after some unistallation...

Easy thing.... open the file unit_upgrades.txt in mod\hpp\common

If the Interceptor is base and target in one block, delete that one.

Strange...

upgrade =
{
base = interceptor
target = rocket_interceptor
}
upgrade =
{
base = interceptor
target = multi_role
}
upgrade =
{
base = interceptor
target = jet_int
}
# Rocket Interceptor
upgrade =
{
base = rocket_interceptor
target = interceptor
}
# Multi-Role Fighter
upgrade =
{
base = multi_role
target = interceptor
}
upgrade =
{
base = multi_role
target = jet_mr
}
