b [FIXED] Artillery discover not working with Heroes Turrets artillery

Hi,
As stated in the tittle, the discovery is miss working when you also use heroes turrets and your artillery turrets upgrade. The name is no more recognized by the script so the discovery center is fucked up leading to weird stuff. Now I know why (name not in the script), I can go around that but if you can fix it it would be perfect. (I've tried to check for the artillery name with upgrade but heroes turrets use script and I don't understand most of it so I couldn't do the modification myself).
have a nice day and thanks for the mod

Hello Teneombre,

Thanks for reporting the bug, I was able to reproduce it :)

This shouldn't be too hard to fix, but I'll just need to think a little bit about how to handle searching for eligible artillery turrets. I could search based on type instead of name, but that could have a somewhat bad side-effect of maybe using wrong type (nuclear, for example) of artillery turrets for exploration purposes etc. Might end-up simply "white-listing" the specific turrets from this mod, or perhaps making it configurable what turrets to use.

Best regards,
Branko

Thanks! Right now I'm using a close-by artillery turret without ammo (so without level up) to have the right center. For people who have the same problem and need a quit work around :)

Ok, thank you for mentioning a work-around, and sorry for not being a bit more responsive, just got some private stuff going on :)

I'll try to get some fix out before the weekend hits - it's really not a big change code-wise :)

No problem. I was away of the computer too :)

Ok, there's a new release out that should include a fix for this one - the turret types are now looked up dynamically, so as long as an artillery turret can shoot an artillery shell, it will get detected by the mod.

Just try it out and let me know if it works correctly now for you :)
