Desc explain it all really, The research isn't visible (It's a save with 12 days in it)

toggle it off, go into the game and toggle it on again.
did you have an older version before?
this is the icon: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1xasuikcvwp20c5/ts_research.PNG?raw=1
you can search it but the name depends on your language
english (default):Turret energy shields
german:Geschützturm-Energieschilde
korean:포탑 에너지 보호막
russian:Турельные энергитические щиты

I got a similar or the same problem because I updated the mod from 0.16.6 to 0.16.13 and the research is gone for turret shields completely and I have tried a save that did not even contain any version of turret shields and it didn't work either.
So is there a way to add it after starting a game?

can you send me your savegame? there is no way i can explain this behaviour currently.
here is a debug version:
[here was a link]
when you change the mod settings, it should display a couple of debug messages, like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u6pq9jty9veyr1y/ts_settings_changed.PNG?raw=1
you can enter the command "ts refresh" to call another function which should enable your research
if it says false 2 times, like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pcb4de21o33g2dv/ts_debugger.PNG?raw=1
maybe you didn't click apply after changing the mod settings.
please check if the checkbox is ticked in the mod settings.
anyway, please tell me the outcome.

Swapped to the version 0.16.15 and entered the "ts enable research" and the research appeared in the list of technologies.
I also tried it on my server and the research showed up there too, so this really helped.
If you still need my save then here it is but it contains a lot of mods other than this one

This is after applying the new mod and command.

so with .15 you still couldn't enable it with the mod settings?
what messages did you get?
with your savegame (even with your mods) i could just turn it on and off via mod settings (but initially there was no research after loading even though it was turned on in the settings, so i had to turn it off and on again, but after that i could save and load the game without issues..)
i think i would rather need a save where it didn't work.
i really can't reproduce that, it just works no matter what mods i have installed :/
lets go through it again step-by-step.
1. you are ingame on any save-game
2. you go into mod-settings -> runtime settings and enable turret shields
3. you click apply and close the esc-menu (going back ingame)
(3.1 if you have the debug-version it will show messages like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u6pq9jty9veyr1y/ts_settings_changed.PNG?raw=1 )
4. if you needed to disable it first, repeat step 2 & 3 to enable it
5. it should show up in the normal research window
i'm really desperate so here is a video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ejgx8yff7qyv37y/2018-05-01%2020-06-12.mp4?dl=0

any idea what could be the problem? maybe some of your mods are outdated?

I am sorry but you must have miss understood my last message because I said It worked and there is no other complaints.

I just thought you might make it easy for anyone else with this problem in the future.

yeah i understood that the command worked, but it should work without it
are you sure u took the same steps like in my video? (sorry, i just have no other idea :/)
if yes, did you get messages after changing the settings? and what did they say?

Alright I tried it on the old save before I use command and it did work by switching the research mod setting off and then on.

okay that's actually good news i think, but now i need to figure out why it didn't work the very first time.
when the setting is on before you load a game without the mod, it actually uses the preset setting normally.
maybe it is because of the migration from the older version. i need to test that

edit: nope, no problems when updating from version 6 :/
i will add a migration in the next version that checks (maybe after every update) if everything is in line with the mod settings

Hello, I think I have a similar problem.

The research is not in the research tree so it is impossible to get the shields.

If I try to disable the setting "enable research" in your mod settings, then I get this crash:

Error MainLoop.cpp:1030: Exception at tick 2055462: Error while running event Turret-Shields::on_runtime_mod_setting_changed (ID 59)
Turret-Shields/control.lua:235: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

I have many mods installed but apart from Bob's I don't think they have effects on turrets.

Typing the commands you mentioned in this thread (ts enable research) seems to do nothing.

The version I have been using since the beginning of my game is 16.10 .

Do you have any idea of what the problem can be ?

Thanks

the command is now called "ts refresh"
please update to the latest version, this should fix your problem
(don't worry, all new features are optional)

I updated and typed "ts refresh" and the technology appeared. Thanks a lot !
