It seems yes there is code that transfer technology that transfer old jet engine tech which doesn't have compressor tech. I should add decision to fix it
SolidSpaceDisk  [author] 22 Jul @ 6:17am 
@Jacobheder old but I seem got same bug. I guess you get it by unlocking jet engine alternatively way (for me, either equestria pass down or paperclip via changeling since I was playing ELF)

Don't need update, but please bug report if you see any bugs. Currently I know medium naval bomber doesn't have name but I'm lazy to fix it
Jacobheder 21 Apr @ 2:22am 
alright now it seems to actually show up. i have no real idea what changed or what caused it but now it seems to work fine... maybe i actually had the load order wrong and just failed to notice. anyways thanks again for the comp patch.

Not sure what it could be then, I did disable it to try and see if that was an issue and it turned out it wasn't. Thank you for the help at least, I'll just hafta mix and match mods and see what may be causing the issue when I get a chance
SolidSpaceDisk  [author] 20 Apr @ 8:24pm 
Look like you disabled better law submod mid save, but I don’t think it should crash your game

Let me know if this works or if I need to redo it. If there are any other files I could send that might help you figure out the issue as well let me know and I'll send them. Thank you.

Upload it somewhere and link it, but error log is kinda not useful until paradox updated their engines (i.e crusader kings 3 and Victoria 3)

Hey, I've noticed I've been getting crashes right at the end of December 16th, 1007 and I use your compatches and stuff. I don't know if it may have something to do with these mods or possibly some other ones, so would it be alright if I sent my error log to you to maybe see what's going on? I parsed through it a little bit and tried whittling some of the extra mods I used but nothing so far has fixed the issue, and I suspect it might have to do with the added tech mods. If not that's also fine. Thank you for any consideration at least.

iirc i think i used the small supersonic (since i cheated to unlock all SP) planes and when i accidentally loaded my current game i tested it on the 1015 medium. on neither did it appear. i will check again.
SolidSpaceDisk  [author] 16 Apr @ 8:14am 
Did you test it on early airframe? Both EAW version and base IAD doesn't allow you to put jet aspiration and engines on earlier airframe. (yeah I know soviet has biplane with jet shenganian) iirc you need 1011 or later.
Jacobheder 15 Apr @ 6:09am 
scratch that. did not do a comparrison to between that and the improved designer on its own, just assumed based on look and the new modules that appeared in the designer. you do not get the jet alternatives for the engine aspirations. the SP tech unlocks it but the separate tab for it does not appear. so while the compressor is "unlocked" it can essentially not be chosen. this goes for both haveing the comp patch loaded before and after the new tech mod.

interrestingly enough this does not happen for the front module slot, where you can choose to either have gunsights or an electrical module. the comp patch actually lets you choose gun sights and lets you have the anti sub modules. i am still doing some comparrisons but maybe it has something to do with the compressor being part of a special project. long shot i know but it is the only thing i can guess at the moment.

The comp patch (to new tech mod) works and since my damn mouse doubbleclicked, i learned that it seems to be save game compatible.it does not crash when i loaded it nor after i started it up again. i looked at the designer and the research and it seems correct.
SolidSpaceDisk  [author] 13 Apr @ 7:22pm 
fixed
loyalChaos 13 Apr @ 3:00pm 
Hello sir, wanted to let you know that something changed with the recent update of something, and now the industry tab seems to be only the base games length instead of using eaw's? It makes the research set really far in the future.
Jacobheder 13 Apr @ 12:31am 
thanks. best of luck to you.
SolidSpaceDisk  [author] 12 Apr @ 7:26pm 
someone asked in tank designer mod and I took a look yesterday and it looks painful to make. The tech mod edited almost every single line of most tech tree so it gonna took some time to figure out and merge. At least I moved most tech to special project so it wouldn't too bad to patch.
Jacobheder 12 Apr @ 10:07am 
hey. could you try to make a compatability patch for this mod and the new tech mod for eaw? noticed that it prevents the usage of the jet engines since i cant change the engine aspiration.
SolidSpaceDisk  [author] 5 Apr @ 7:15am 
I uploaded the patch to fix the bug u reported, also added cat's suggestion, but didn't have time to test, pls tell me if you have problem
snegyrys 5 Apr @ 7:13am 
@SolidSpaceDisk No preassure man, take your time, thanks for the Comp. Patch
SolidSpaceDisk  [author] 5 Apr @ 5:20am 
Because I haven't patched the tech file yet, will be soon
snegyrys 4 Apr @ 11:10am 
it looks like after recent EaW update this mod causes a bug that allows everyone to build nuclear reactors at hte start of the game. When IAD is deactivated the bug dissapears
SolidSpaceDisk  [author] 3 Apr @ 6:05am 
yeah you can threw it on steam workshop for me to download. I am busy this and next week so may be able to release update quick unlike before
Cat_pod_travoi 3 Apr @ 1:09am 
If you're interested, I've done a Russian translation. I can throw it off
Cat_pod_travoi 3 Apr @ 1:02am 
It would be impudent of me to ask for such a thing. But it wouldn't be bad. If you do, thank you very much!
SolidSpaceDisk  [author] 3 Apr @ 12:04am 
non eaw one doesn't have that option too. If you want I can enable it
Cat_pod_travoi 2 Apr @ 12:49pm 
Medium-sized aircraft cannot be equipped with different sights and cockpits in the configuration of heavy fighters. Probably a bug or I'm stupid (probably the second option is correct)
TheSovietWombat 16 Feb @ 10:19am 
yeah GSW tank slot extender but its currently broken because it removed the tick box next to the name, this is the case with the other ones too
SolidSpaceDisk  [author] 16 Feb @ 8:30am 
there is working tank one for another non eaw expanded tank designer adoption. It only edit few files so you can take a look at it
TheSovietWombat 16 Feb @ 7:39am 
Bro solidspace i be real i have absolutely 0 clue how to do any of that, i have been searching for a viable slot extender mod for air tanks and ships but there are absolutely 0 that are up to date and are working
Siveen 16 Feb @ 4:20am 
Has anyone tried running this with EaW ESI? I just had a crash when loading the map and I really cba to track down the issue ngl
SolidSpaceDisk  [author] 15 Feb @ 8:33pm 
Nah, but you can make a small patch to add it yourself
TheSovietWombat 15 Feb @ 11:11am 
Could you make it so that there is 14 slots at the top and 14 slots at the bottom?
Hauptman_1936-1945 3 Feb @ 8:27am 
@SolidSpaceDisk I didn't notice because my mod setup for EAW has a super freeze in 1021... so i have never gotten there
loyalChaos 2 Feb @ 7:45pm 
I dont think I did? I'll try redownloading the mod, maybe it just hasnt updated locally in months?
SolidSpaceDisk  [author] 2 Feb @ 7:35pm 
btw no one noticed they cannot equip aspiration in supersonic airframe lmao
SolidSpaceDisk  [author] 2 Feb @ 7:34pm 
That bug literally fixed months ago cuz I put compressor (aspiration for jet) in wrong special project. Did you use a ultra old version?
loyalChaos 2 Feb @ 1:30pm 
Hey hey, I can no longer use jet engines for aircraft, because I no longer have access to the jet aspiration technologies (its stuck on just piston aspiration tech). Playing as Hippogriffonia if that matters.
Hauptman_1936-1945 30 Dec, 2024 @ 4:29am 
okie doki then
SolidSpaceDisk  [author] 29 Dec, 2024 @ 7:49pm 
update released, pls check if some plane chassis cannot be designed
SolidSpaceDisk  [author] 29 Dec, 2024 @ 6:17pm 
I will check it out later
Hauptman_1936-1945 29 Dec, 2024 @ 6:12am 
Yo Improved air designer got updated, so does this need to be updated again so the game doesn't insta crash, or can i start a new game?
SolidSpaceDisk  [author] 15 Dec, 2024 @ 5:10pm 
because base eaw only add capable plane design for changeling and equestria for unknown reasons. I don't want to add more tbh
Lucina Augusta 15 Dec, 2024 @ 11:57am 
It seems Equestria are actually making and improving plane designs, so it's not all the AI, but most of them. I just checked and river federation are also stuck producing early fighters despite having improved airframes researched.
Lucina Augusta 15 Dec, 2024 @ 11:53am 
Cool
I am also noticing that AI seem to be incapable of designing planes. For instance, Griffonia was still producing early fighters into 1012, and I completely destroyed their airforce with my improved fighters despite being outnumbered 1:3.
To see if this was just a weird bug with them, I tagged over to Wingbardy and sure enough, they only have the designs that they get from their focuses. Despite having improved small airframes researched, they are still producing basic fighters.
Any way to fix this?
SolidSpaceDisk  [author] 15 Dec, 2024 @ 8:11am 
moved to normal jet engine special project thanks for suggestion
Lucina Augusta 15 Dec, 2024 @ 8:03am 
lol my bad i didn't know steam workshop had a changelog thing
also i noticed with the jet engine, you can't actually put them onto planes until you do the compressor special project, as you don't have any aspirators for jet engines. is this intentional? because it basically makes jets useless until you do *another* special project that's 2 breakthrough and takes like 1.5 years.
SolidSpaceDisk  [author] 14 Dec, 2024 @ 2:01am 
yes... look at changelog...
Lucina Augusta 13 Dec, 2024 @ 10:45pm 
is this updated for new DLC? for instance radar and jets being projects rather than tech now, i remember it causing issues when the DLC first dropped
