(all .lua files in the mods folder are active, regardless of what is written in modinfo!)Sorry, I have no knowledge about communitas pack =/

If you want to change just one xml/sql value, you can search and change the line in Override folder in Civ5Units.xml or if it is a text in CIV5Units_Mongol.xml.
But this is not very userfriendly and if not done correct, it could mess up things.
But maybe it was just bad luck, that I played with such an aggressiv AI. but to each his own. Communitas is ultimately for those who want 'oldschool civ' style back from the previous titles, rather than adding to Civ 5's new style.
Do you think that editing all the lua files in Notepad++ and replacing the commands above by the less risky ones will always work, or can it create issues in some cases? What commands and in which situations would you replace by "OnPlayerDoTurn"? And can you give me some examples when GetActivePlayer will mess the game up, and what to do in such cases? Are there any other commands you know that always cause problems in multi?
Did you test every mod separately? Maybe you can see already a huge delay with a specific mod.
local pPlayer = Players[iPlayer]
if (not pPlayer:IsHuman()) then
return
endThere is already a quick movement/quick combat option. Why do you thing you need quick turns? It won't speed up turns more than the quick options mentioned above. The only thing it does is, that you can set the movement speed from specific players seperatly.
One example for a ActivePlayer problem you can see here:Serp - a lot of questions
I don't have experience with loading issues, but I read somewhere about game crashes when clicking the load button... I can't remember where and waht exactly solved it... I think it was something with steam cloud. Maybe try to disable it and delete the cache folder?
yes I know that I did not describe the bug you talked about. But since I have no clue how to solve your bug, I mentionend it... maybe it has a simular solution.A lot to read, thanks
But regarding one thing maybe I have to make myself more clear.
The game doesn't crash on pressing the load button. It loads fine. The problem is that after any random crash (internet connection, mod related, desync), when you load your game and the map appears, it skips one turn for the human players, plays the AI turn, and only allows you to make the next turn. I will still try to track it down to a specific mod, but no trace in logs doesn't help.

Doh. Well I patched that.
@Serp:
Concerning Communitas: it's designed to augment/adjust the base game without adding onto it too crazily. The AIs are substantially smarter for both barbarians and AI Civs, and the barbarians mostly got special movement abilities (woodsman, mountaineer, etc) which let them move faster in specific terrain types, based on where their camp spawns. They give a not-inconsequential amount of gold for capping their bases too. The huge difference between the base game and Communitas though is gold. In Communitas, you get a real economy; not a delicate maintenance dance, so you will be buying a lot of stuff. Rome likely got a lucky start location in your game, and rushed military (a solid player strategy that is often used). I kindof find those things neat, like Rome behaving like Rome
Thanks for the advice again! Turned out to be a combo of two things; there was a typo in one of the Communitas files, and some things for other mods that weren't having their dependencies proplerly checked. I fixed those, and then found an InGame.lua in the Communitas folder, which per-instructions I deleted (replacing the one generated by MPMPM just made things worse).
The game runs a lot better now; scripts mostly work, tooltips function correctly, etc. I'm stuck with two caviats however. First, while the revised start biases work in single player perfectly, they appear to be non-functional in multiplayer. Additionally, the start location reveal still doesnt work specifically in multiplayer, though that's less important.
The other bug is some kind of corruption of the cache if one ever tries to re-start/join a game after starting one, unless I exit the game entirely. I've repeated this multiple times and circumstances. It only occurs when you exit to main menu, then start another game (mp or sp). Once corrupted, it will remain so until you wipe the cache or reload without the modpack, then reload again with it (forcing a core game/dlc cache refresh). It's easy to work around, but odd, none the less.
If anyone happens to have any ideas about the remaining bugs, let me know! I'll probably be poking around in the Communitas source trying to figure out what's breaking the start conditions in mp. I'll post the modpack I have so far soon as I've played through a game with friends to ensure both stability and reload/rejoin functionality
I added you to the first post. If you want, you can your post to include more details for people passing by.
So, that issue actually plagues a lot of vanilla multiplayer games. It's a known bug around some of the forums; apparently was introduced by one of their more recent patches. Your civ shouldnt fully loose the turn; build progress/move progress/research/etc all advance, but you cannot issue any orders whatsoever for a single turn. No thread i've seen knows why, or has a good workaround for it, unfortunately.A lot to read, thanks

Thanks, I have taken a look at the code; only GetActivePlayer is used of the ones mentioned, but it's used......ALOT. mostly in interface stuff, but there are over 100 occurrences of it, so that's going to be a long battle. I'll have to work on it over a few weeks most likely.Serp said:
Thanks for taking a look at the log. Concerning the cache corruption, it actually doesnt happen just when loading/saving; it also happens when I start a new game/load a game (which works fine), then return to the main menu, and start another game (new or loaded; doesnt matter which I do). It somehow corrupts the database entries for displaying building and tech information, so that the entries are there, but all information used for display is nil. I'll have to dif the cache some time here; that might reveal some useful info. Thanks for the help so far everyone!cicero225 said:
