Is this a bug, hack conflict or a "feature"?

<< < (3/5) > >>

clem:
HA! When you said tens of hacks, I thought you meant, you know, two dozen.

When I'm free tonight, I'll do a comparison to see what we've got in common and post my results here.

Edited to add:

Here are the hacks we have in common:

antiweatherreaction.package
commlightson.package
ffsdebugger.package
gctowniefix.package
lesswhiny.package
nocorruptdeath.package
noplagiarism.package
novelprogress.package
petsp0-jobfixes.package (hm, I wonder about this one. I can't remember what it fixes, so I'll go look when I'm done here. I guess I do have a career hack/fix in there.)
phonehack.package
phonehack-talkmodule.package
sneldercareeroutfitfix.package
stuckobjremover.package
vampwerefixes.package

It doesn't narrow it down a lot for me, but there are a couple of possibilities. I'm going to do a little experimenting and see what I can find.

ETA again: I have an outdated version of petsp0-jobfixes, so I'll run once with the old version and then again with the new and we'll see what happens.

NAILED! Try updating petsp0-jobfixes. Once I updated that, the correct amounts came up with the promotion.

Novelprogress is a no-no for FT; Pescado has not yet updated it.  That may be one of the causes right there.

IgnorantBliss:
Cool, thanks, both of you! I don't know how I missed the updated version of petjobs. I have not been as careful as I should about making sure my hacks are up to date, I had only removed obvious culprits and tried to update the ones that had updates available. I will be doing testing later today after work.

J. M. Pescado:
I notice you're STILL using teh old "pettempadfix", which was scrapyarded ages ago and isn't part of the FT DC. And yes, your jobfixes is a year old and was updated for FT. So now we know exactly what causes fucked up job payouts, anyway.

I've learned, by both experience and the suggestions of others here, that when a new EP comes out it's just best to delete all of Pescado's hacks, and put in the new DC for the new EP.  Then update from there.  That solves the problem of having very old versions or outdated hacks still laying around.
