Can't seem to keep myself or other civs from researching restricted technologies!

[DarthVeda]

What am I doing wrong???

I even went and restricted every technology, and still no effect!!

DarthVeda ...

You are not the only one with this problem.

Did you create the .SCN file before installing the patch?

[DarthVeda]

That's a definite no

[William Keenan]

DarthVeda ...
Please send me your rules.txt file. Maybe I can find some common thread between yours and the other one I have.

[John Possidente]

One really important thing is that every possible civ must have a direct line to Future Tech from the start of the game. If you break that rule, all bets are off as far as things working right (or working at all).

[DarthVeda]

That would be interesting, but Future Tech is unrestricted and is set at nil,nil for now (which I usually do because I've had nasty crashes when it was different... especially where I uproot the tech tree).

[DarthVeda]

It just amazes me how reluctant this problem is to be fixed.

[DarthVeda]

It's pissing me off. I'd just have to write the events files and I can't do it just yet because of this baffo problem!

[John Possidente]

Me again.

I've looked over the other rules.txt William mentioned, and I even replaced the Extended Game rules with it and it worked fine on my version of the game--as a New Game. So it's possible the problem is not in the rules, but somewhere else.

The only other possibilities I can think of are:

(1) Remember that the bits in @Leaders2 are not in reverse programmer notation. The first number is Group 0, the second is Group 1, and so on. This can be confusing, since everything else is in RPN.

(2) The patch messed something up, which I find doubtful because we tested this specifically.

(3) Interference by outside agencies of unknown provenance.
