Problem with changing tag - tech projects in limbo

[lordvagrant]

I found a problem when my country tag changed - my tech applications that were active no longer have tech teams assigned, and remain 'yellowed' in progress that can't be cancelled, so I can't restart the project or get to the next item in the tree.

Upon changing tag, my save file had this:

    application = { 
        id = { type = 4712 id = 219409 } 
        project = { type = 17 id = 5100 } 
        progress = 100.0000 
        progress = 100.0000 
        progress = 100.0000 
        progress = 58.4947 
        progress = 0.0000 
        status = "ongoing" 
        } 
    application = { 
        id = { type = 4712 id = 236954 } 
        project = { type = 17 id = 1340 } 
        progress = 53.5982 
        progress = 0.0000 
        progress = 0.0000 
        progress = 0.0000 
        progress = 0.0000 
        status = "ongoing" 
        }

One month later having started other projects, I have this:

    application = { 
        id = { type = 4712 id = 219409 } 
        project = { type = 17 id = 5100 } 
        progress = 100.0000 
        progress = 100.0000 
        progress = 100.0000 
        progress = 58.4947 
        progress = 0.0000 
        status = "ongoing" 
        } 
    application = { 
        id = { type = 4712 id = 236954 } 
        project = { type = 17 id = 1340 } 
        progress = 53.5982 
        progress = 0.0000 
        progress = 0.0000 
        progress = 0.0000 
        progress = 0.0000 
        status = "ongoing" 
        } 
    application = { 
        id = { type = 4712 id = 242050 } 
        project = { type = 17 id = 5340 } 
        tech_team = { type = 10 id = 10009 } 
        progress = 53.6207 
        progress = 0.0000 
        progress = 0.0000 
        progress = 0.0000 
        progress = 0.0000 
        status = "ongoing" 
        } 
    application = { 
        id = { type = 4712 id = 242051 } 
        project = { type = 17 id = 1030 } 
        tech_team = { type = 10 id = 3206 } 
        progress = 100.0000 
        progress = 65.6486 
        progress = 0.0000 
        progress = 0.0000 
        progress = 0.0000 
        status = "ongoing" 
        }

I was using a mod (SMEP 3.0), so I realise it is not part of the 'standard' campaigns, but it would be useful if a fix of some sort could be put in for modders
eg: assign a new team from new country's tech teams to the project (preferably a matching team)
or: cancel all projects on tag change (or an event command to clear current projects)

Well, you may have to take this up with the makers of SMEP, but there is a random event that cancels projects- it's called enemy commando's sabotage research or something similar. I don't know whether or not it would work.

But I guess the HOI 2 engine doesn't have coding to handle research from changing tags. From memory, there aren't any vanilla events with tag switches. It would be nice to have this support for modders though.

If it is not in any vanilla event, I doubt that it will be fixed.

Ah, I see it now. I'll try adding the following in the change country script 5 times to see if it helps:

command = { type = research_sabotaged }

Complain to the folks who wrote SMEP 3.0 not Paradox.

It's not SMEP's fault. This happens whenever a country tag changes. I would assume the same happens when Czechoslovakia turns into Slovakia.

So, complain to Paradox, not me
