I'll post what we have here soon. If you have any XML knowledge and are interested in helping, please download this and help us to debug.

We have one very persistant and nasty bug that isn't going away, and it crashes the game right before an actual game is about to start.

the mod as it is right now (http://files.filefront.com/Assetsrar/;7205591;/fileinfo.html)

I would like to see it how it is... :)

go ahead and download and look through the civilopedia... or try your hand at fixing things. (if you did, i would love you forever)

I like you new Sig ;)

Thx... I suck on XML... shall see what i can do :sad: But it takes a long time to download :p...

Filefront is insanely slow, but i have membership there, so, it's what i use...

Yeah, ever thought of trying something else??? :lol: 15%:woohoo:

have any suggestions?

Nope :p havent uploaded anything exept pictures...

Was looking under the assumption it was for Warlords, and later looked it was for Vanilla, darn.

May I suggest you start making it for Warlords, now, while you havent got so much data and files, alot easier to convert then? Just my opinion.

I would help ya, but someone who edits your stuff puts a square box at the end of each tag, and i am not used to that and "to me" i cant edit correctly then(to jumbled up), and besides it VANILLA:blush: .
I tried.

Thanks anyway for trying.

What? I didn't see this, perhaps it's your XML viewer. Anyway, thanks.

Newest version here (http://files.filefront.com/Assetsrar/;7205591;/fileinfo.html)

Have you fixed the starting bug yet? I want atleast to start the game...

Still working on it... Chugginator said he might be able to fix it.

Good, thats first prio...

Sorry.. tried and failed :(

Doh! :cry:

Does anyone want to redo the CIVDiplomacyinfo.XML? Please? we're fairly shur that's the buggy file, but it is long to do, and :sad: i don't have much time this week:sad:

I thought you was going to make that :cringe: It'll go quicker once it gets started, trust me.

I've started... it's just long to do :(

If we just fix it, we can move to another bug... :) cheer up...

Thomas throws his copy of the silmarrion at Ghandi_rules' head

:lol: :lol: :lol: if i only had a copy :sad:

How's your bug search going thomas? I have a hard time believing it's from that file, but there's a first time for everything.

really? i'm still going through it... most of the people we've talked to seem to think it is in that file.

if you want, you can take look... good luck, and thanks.

Why do you think its in that file?

:blush: i honestly don't remember... we had figured it out back in november. perhapes Elda king remembers. i've since then tried periodically to go through it to find the error. it was only at chugginator's urging that i decided to redo that file.

i found something strange in it though: the vanilla version doesn't have 16 references for each leader. isabella, i beleive, only has twelve and frederique has fourteen. any idea why?

Frederique?

Any specific reason that the <Response> tag is in quite a number of times more inserted then the </Response> tag? In the CIVDiplomacyinfo.XML file I mean?

no... i never noticed that... do you mean in ours or in the vanilla file?

In the ARDA mod diplofile.
Is it normal the mod can only start with a worldbuilder map so to speak?
In any case, there is indeed a xml alert (LEADER_)for the diplomacy file when starting up the mod, and it blocks the mod from starting up. The two other xml errors don't do this (or so it seems).

Is it normal the mod can only start with a worldbuilder map so to speak?


:confused: what do you mean by this?:confused:

Well, I can't choose a maptype, so it must be from a premade map, no?

I've always been able to choose a map type :confused: we want this mod to work with the normal map generator. we don';t want this to be specifically middle-earth.

i'll have to look into that, thanks.

sicnerely,
thomas

Might be because I copied from the wrong .ini file. I needed to create one since the download only has an Assets folder. :)

Well, atleast a scenario isnt 1st prio...

Forget it guys, I had the wrong entries in a .ini file.
No luck in the diplofile sofar.

i am redoing it, though i don;t really have the time too today. i'll send it to you when i finish.

Mmm, this might be the cause of a bug.
In the civipedia, I can select info about a barbarian civ. But this barbarian civ has no diplo quotes in the bugfile.
Could it be that since you guys made this barbarian civ accessible in civpedia, but has no contact links ingame it breaks down? I think it's worth trying to remove the barb civ from the pedia and look what gives.

Try this out before you redo the file. ;)

i'll try that tomorrow: the barbs show up as a playable civ in the civ selection screen too: any idea why that is?

edit: i just checked: nowhere in the civilizationinfos file does it say that the barbs should be playable:

<bPlayable>0</bPlayable>
<bAIPlayable>0</bAIPlayable>


<Leader>
<LeaderName>LEADER_BARBARIAN</LeaderName>
<bLeaderAvailability>0</bLeaderAvailability>
</Leader>

Any idea what is going on?

Nope. Just gave you guys a possible reason why the mod CTD's. I'm not about to delve mucher deeper into this with 3 other mods awaiting my attention. :)

alrighty then, i'll ask the adoring CFC public.

Do you got the diplo bug yet?

We had no luck about it, so we are redoing the civs, what may take a while...

Aww... But if we see it from the bright side, have you heard of the swedish car koinsegg? koinsegg is a luxory sports car brand and each car is special. Anyway, the maker of the car builded the first one, then the garage burned down to the ground - whith the car. So he builded it again, but that time whith new and better finesses and so on. Maybe this mod can be like koinsegg...

I hope... i've finsihed my part of redoing the civs, i'll upload it here later today.

Edit: don't have time today... i'll do it tomorrow.

I cant download the file, the link takes me to file front main page

yeah, the file's gone. it's an old buggy file, and weve started over.

Could you provide the mod in its current state for download? It's a lot easier knowing whats going on with this mod if we could see whats been done so far.

I don't have a very complet version. i think sifaus might, or elda.

however, i am the only one with some units in. (though with no art, not even a stand in, so it wouldn't work)

sorry.

I'll upload here as soon as i have a working version, okay?
