Aye it's working fine for me too now. Perhaps I forgot to start my previous game from the mod menu.

Hi, I'm new to using mods in Civ 5, but I liked the look of this one, and downloaded it and tried it out. Very nice! My question, related to the quote above- is it always necessary to start a modded game through the MODS menu, once you've created one with mods activated in it? I think I may have lost my InfoAddict capability in the first game I used it in, because the next day I didn't go through MODS, but just opened it up straight from the SINGLE PLAYER > LOAD menu. Is this the case? Thanks...

Smokeybear,

Yeah, you always have to start games from the MODS menu if you want mods to be active. Also, when you select at a game in the load menu, the picture that shows up in the left panel should have a button called "mods" that show you which mods and versions were active when that game was saved.

Whoa, I didn't recognize you. You've changed your avatar :crazyeye:

Love this mod!, but I'm having a problem with it, when the mod is on I can't use the discuss option with other leaders is there anyway to fix this problem?

Are there are known issues with the latest version of the game?

v 1.0.1.221

Thanks!

I just did a quick test with 1.0.1.275 and Info Addict v10 seems to be working as I expect. I didn't do a thorough test yet but I hit most of the major functions.

Do you see any errors? Or does clicking on "Discuss" just do nothing? Also, make sure you are at the latest patch because a few versions ago, the way I interact with the leader screens changed. The latest version of Info Addict will not work with those earlier versions of the game.

Robk, is it possible to just have a plain 'Made contact' arrow on the global relations chart, so if I wipe somebody out I know who will know?

I'll just update my game, thanks for the response, and when I click discuss the dialogue box just goes straight to 'anything else'

No, the AIs in Civ5 always know if you've wiped someone out even if you did it before they met either you or the civ you wiped out.

Robk, I found this taking a look at the changelog for the Thal's unnoficial patch:

"If you are using InfoAddict, it is out of date and incompatible with the latest official patch. I’ve fixed this in the CiVUP-InfoAddict compatibility files included with CiVUP. Place an undescore in front of the two outdated files in InfoAddict’s mod folder. No other actions are necessary, CiVUP automatically detects if you’re using InfoAddict.
_DiscussionDialog.lua
_DiscussionDialog.xml"

Maybe you could do a little update?

Regards!

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll take a look at what I'm missing (I bet I forgot to merge patch changes) and push out a new version that's compatible.

Info Addict v11 is now available. This is a maintenance release that fixes a bug with the last patch and adds some french translations that were submitted by Smash15195 many months ago (I've been slack ... very slack).

This problem should be resolved now.

Pouakai · May 15, 2011

So this version doesn't provide any new features, it's just a hotfix?

EndoConvert · May 16, 2011

Robk, could you add wonder count (some statistic like "wonders built") to the next version? After all, "The World's Most Wonderful People" is one of the automatic demographic table pop-ups that come up periodically after every so many turns, so this would be, well, "wonderful."

EndoConvert · May 19, 2011

Oh, and another request: number of friendly and allied city-states for each civ. That would be helpful on large maps with 30 or so CSes.

Both good ideas. I will add them to my wish list for features.

Great Mod! Unfortunately I'm having a problem when I have it enabled:
When a nation contacts me for any other reason than the initial greeting, the whole diplomacy screen is blank. It seems that the frames are simply off the screen because I can still use the "ESC" key to cancel their request (whatever it may be).
Here is what I'm talking about: http://imageshack.us/m/708/9913/civ5screen0002.jpg

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you again for the wonderful mod.

Extra info: I only have your mod (v11) enabled, Direct X11, running from a secondary hard drive.

robk · May 23, 2011

zisforzorro, are you running the latest patch of the game? The leader discussion dialog code changed with that and my mod had to modify a few of those files. I bet you'd get a blank screen if you tried running v11 in an older version of the game. If you can't update, give v10 of InfoAddict a try and see if that works.

zisforzorro · May 23, 2011

I tried v10, no luck. I guess I'm off to update, seeing as how no one else has this problem and that I'm still on the earliest version of Civ 5 I think you are right. Thanks for the quick response!
