Prerequisites and Pre-Issue Checklist

• [X] I'm reporting the issue to the correct repository:

• MegaMek

• MegaMekLab

• MekHQ

• [X] I've tested the issue against at least the latest MILESTONE version

• [X] I've asked on the MegaMek Discord about the error

• [X] I've reviewed the BattleTech rules and MekHQ documentation, and I've confirmed that something isn't working as intended.

• [X] I've searched the Github tracker and haven't found the issue listed

Severity *

Medium (Gameplay Limitation): Non-core functionality is impaired, providing a suboptimal but playable experience.

Brief Description *

Importing a campaign created prior to the changes Mech -> Mek terminology change results in all personnel with roles that used the relevent term from being assigned as "None". So far, I have observed this affecting:

• MekTechs
• MekWarriors
• Aerospace Techs
• Mek Techs

Others will likely similarly be impacted. Notably, this does not remove the Mek Warriors from the TOE. EDIT: correction, it also does not unassign Techs.

Steps to Reproduce

Import an existing campaign into the current run of Nightlies.

Operating System *

Windows 11

Java Version *

21.0.3

MekHQ Suite Version *

Final Checklist

• [X] I've checked to make sure that this issue has not already been filed
• [X] I'm reporting only one issue in this ticket for clarity and focus

As a knock-on effect, this also appears to cause affected personnel to lose their randomly generated portaits, even after their role is restored. I am not going to report this as a seperate issue, since resolving the role conversion will almost certainly also resolve this secondary effect.
