EVA.Event tags do not work on Type=HunterSeeker

[modder666]

In my mod, I utilize the Type=HunterSeeker SWs to spawn vehicles that will deploy into expansion outposts. This new SuperWeapon has been added to the Construction Yard, but at the beginning of the game (when the AI would have deployed it's ConYard) I get an EVA report based on the side I am playing for the larger SW on the side (if playing against Allies, I get" Warning, Weather Control Device detected"). However, the SuperWeapon has EVA.Detected set to none. I will add my code below in case I have merely missed something.

What SWs does the Construction Yard have? Did this start recently, or was that also like this with 0.8?

[modder666 (modder666)]

Each Construction Yard is equipped with their own variant of the above SuperWeapon, using SuperWeapon= tags. This is the only SuperWeapon the Construction Yard is equipped with. This is a 0.8 bug, as I have not started using the new unstable release.

[AlexB (alexander-b)]

Please test with the latest unstable builds, because I changed large parts of this code. Is there by any chance an EVA event by the name of "none"?

[modder666 (modder666)]

I will try it with the latest unstable build. I set EVA.Detected to 'none' as the online documentation suggested, and there was no indication that it had changed in 0.9. I will test with the latest unstable and get back to you.

[AlexB (alexander-b)]

The documentation for 0.9 is not out yet, and there will be no change in this regard. The change is that in 0.8 and earlier a SW that does not suffice AuxBuilding was still announced as detected. This should not happen any more. EVA events do not consider "none" or "<none>" special, thus if you have an event called "none", this will be played. If it does not exist, nothing should be played, which is what "none" means.

[modder666 (modder666)]

After downloading the latest revision in the "Rough Seas" branch, I still got the same error. I tried switching EVA.Detected from "none" to "<none>" just to make sure WW hadn't entered any events into their EVAmd.ini. After entering the game and the Allied AI deploys their MCV, I get "Warning, Weather Control Device detected" message.

[modder666 (modder666)]

I took a step further to attempt to solve these issues, and created an EVA event with no sounds set. After adding EVA_NoWarningOrDisplay I was able to relieve this issue.

[EVA_NoWarningOrDisplay]
Text=No warning or display.
Russian=
Allied=
Yuri=

[AlexB (alexander-b)]

Did you, by any chance, put the Hunter Seeker SW as third on the SuperWeaponTypes list? In that case, an EVA event of <none> or none is not considered a valid value and Ares passes control back to the game, which goes through its own list. Nuke, IC, LS, ... If this is the case, this will be fixed in the next 0.9 build.

Confirming this issue as fixed.
