It is extremely unlikely that the modifications from that topic (nor the BotF original code) have something to do with the issues mentioned here.
Since we have 4-5 member who want to learn a bit more about assembler, I suggest you team up and build a learning group.
Please do not spam coding forum with faulty codes or wrong statements. No hard feelings, but this confuses people and modding is hard enough. For the same reason, please stay as short & clear as possible there. For example this could be said in two short sentences (+1 code line asm/hex).
Also note posting of code-rewriting requests on external asm-blocks is not a good idea as well. You will see your topic closed, deleted and/or yourself banned quite soon. Just a prediction.
======================================================
Uh, I didn't check this topic for a while and from my little tests everything had seemed to be okay, but Spocks-cuddly-tribble put rightfully the finger on the error.
So first I have to apologies to all of you for my mistake.
Second, last night I reworked the code (I will post it soon) and while running tests I stumbled over a problem, which is related to the training limit code change:
To quickly simulate high exp crew behaving I gave a training facility a training value of 1000!! (This big value is getting important)
Everything worked fine till the crews reached the limit of 4000 points. (Note: the new treshold values for my reworked code reades 768, 2048, 4608, 8192)
So the ships which where build with 0 exp points reached normally the threshold and showed epx. level 3 (that's was fine so far), the ships build on the system with training facility reached 3700 exp point, then 4000 and also had epx. level 3 (fine again).
On the next turn, they all stayed at 4000 exp. points but gain exp. level 4.
I could not found the failure within my new code so I explain it that way:
When the new turn starts the crew exp. bonus is added, second the new crew exp. code will be executed, and after this the new training limit code is executed.
@Spocks-cuddly-tribble:
Could you confirm the code order?
It is possible to rearrange the order so first training limit is checked, then crew exp. boni will be calculated?
BTW: New code has only 2 unused bytes till next code, so there is no space for code extention.
<<<edit>>>
new code is:
