well... I think I know whats wrong Grave. Theres a lot of classes that are tagged "NONE" in the xml files, like this:
From the log:
Code:
[19119.076] info type NONE not found, Current XML file is: xml\GameInfo/CIV4SpecialistInfos.xml
From CIV4SpecialistInfos.xml:
Code:
<SpecialistInfo>
<Type>SPECIALIST_GREAT_GENERAL</Type>
<Description>TXT_KEY_SPECIALIST_GREAT_GENERAL</Description>
<Civilopedia>TXT_KEY_CONCEPT_GREAT_GENERALS_PEDIA</Civilopedia>
<Strategy>TXT_KEY_SPECIALIST_GREAT_GENERAL_STRATEGY</Strategy>

That really shouldn't matter... considering that is original Firaxis code.
Have you tried removing the NONE and putting:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]<GreatPeopleUnitClass/>[/COLOR]
It shouldn't matter... but if for some bizzare reason it's not working for you, anything is worth a shot.

This seems like an error. The problem is that many of us don't get it. XML error can't be turned off so no matter how different the settings we have from yours such an error would show-up for all of us if it exists in well installed copy of HitM.
The only thing I can think of is that there is something wrong with the files installed on your machine. Make sure you make a clean install after removing the current HitM folder you have.
BTW NONE is a known value for any type of info other than numerical. For instance in the same file you will find NONE for the same tag of the citizen specialist. It makes sense as citizens don't provide points toward any great person creation. If the tag accepts NONE as a value somewhere it will accept it anywhere else.
I did a reinstall, cleared the cache... still no go
But I do find a little comfort in the fact that I am not the only one with this exact problem.
I have to agree with Kalimakhus. If there was something really wrong with the XML, EVERYBODY would be getting it. Same with the SDK. It's the same source files Firaxis uses. Not only that, but the SDK is almost identical to the v1.04 version, with the exception of Expanded City radius and a DCM update. In all actuality, besides the two SDK mods, the rest of v1.5 is strictly XML updates if you want to get right down to it.
I hate to say it, but I guess not everybody is meant to play HiTM then. If I were getting the same issues as a few of you, I'd be concerned, too. But that's the thing... I'm getting no errors at all in my logs and the mod plays as good as stock Civ4.
I've even taken a Savegame somebody posted who said they get a CTD when they build their first city, and I was able to build Amsterdam just fine and also play a few rounds on that savegame before I saved it and re-uploaded it here.
The only thing I can say is: make sure you install it correctly, clear your cache and completely remove any prior vesion of HiTM before installing v1.5. If you do that, it should work. If it doesn't... then I guess this mod isn't for you.
If somebody can find out why this CTD is happening to a select few of you when you build a city, believe me, I'll fix it. But nobody has been able to figure this out yet. I'll need somebody who actually gets these CTD's to dig into the files, identify what's wrong and provide a fix to me. There is nothing I can do about it when I don't get the same error, unfortunately.
Or is there an easy way for me to remove it?
