Here is a replacement (totalconversion) ShipClassDefs.XML file, compatible with 1.03, which makes medium missile ships available: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45479330/GC3/GalCiv3%20Ranger%20PatchMod/000_MediumMissileBoatFix.rar 

Here is a replacement (totalconversion) ComponentClassDefs.XML file, compatible with 1.03, which makes the missing 2/3 of enhanced ship designs available: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45479330/GC3/GalCiv3%20Ranger%20PatchMod/000_WeaponAugmentFix.rar

There is currently an issue in ShipClassDefs.xml where every single 'ranger' type ship mistakenly pointing to the Destroyer class blueprints, which are large ships.

 

Code: xml
  3. <!-- Begin Ship -->
  5. <ShipClass>
  6. <InternalName>TerranRangerL</InternalName>
  7. <DisplayName>TerranRangerL_Class_Name</DisplayName>
  8. <Description>TerranRangerL_Dec</Description>
  9. <ThumbnailOverride>Terran_Ranger_02T.PNG</ThumbnailOverride>
  10. <ShipHullType>Medium</ShipHullType>
  11. <ShipRule>FavorMissile</ShipRule>
  12. <ShipDesign>Terran_Ranger_02T</ShipDesign>
  13. <AIOnly>true</AIOnly>
  14. <AIShipClass>Sentinel</AIShipClass>
  15. <StrategicIcon>Ranger</StrategicIcon>
  16. <BlueprintDef>DestroyerLBlueprint</BlueprintDef>
  17. </ShipClass>

 

This means you don't get a medium missile ship when you've researched medium ships and missiles, nor does the AI have the ability to build them.

Instead, you get your Ranger when you research Large hull sizes:

 

 

 

Further, every BattleshipD points to the blueprint of a DestroyerD:

 

Code: xml
  3. <!-- Begin Ship -->
  5. <ShipClass>
  6. <InternalName>TerranBattleshipD</InternalName>
  7. <DisplayName>TerranBattleshipD_Class_Name</DisplayName>
  8. <Description>TerranBattleshipD_Dec</Description>
  9. <ThumbnailOverride>Terran_Battleship_01T.PNG</ThumbnailOverride>
  10. <ShipHullType>Large</ShipHullType>
  11. <ShipRule>FavorKinetic</ShipRule>
  12. <ShipDesign>Terran_Battleship_01T</ShipDesign>
  13. <AIShipClass>CapitalShip</AIShipClass>
  14. <StrategicIcon>Battleship</StrategicIcon>
  15. <BlueprintDef>DestroyerDBlueprint</BlueprintDef>
  16. </ShipClass>

 

 

This mod fixes those issues, but changes nothing else.

 

 

 

 

 

In a similar manner, the AI's ship designer functionality skips over a lot of Augmented ships - that is, those which use Durantium, Elerium and and Anti-matter. It's especially limited in its ability to use Durantium. That's what the second file fixes.

Updated this with another fix to let the AI and auto-designs use Weapon Augmentations

Whoops, I'd rearranged the folders and forgot to alter the links. Should be working now!

Wow, great find! Hope you submitted bug reports with what's been causing this bug, because I never would have thought to look in the ComponentClassDefs.xml to fix this problem. This bug still isn't fixed in 1.1 yet, and I can see why now. All of the weapon augmentations are pointing to the wrong primary stats!

On the dev stream this past friday Paul said that these were fixed in the latest 1.10 build - that may have been an unreleased version though.
