I get a runtime error running this mod and it crashes(may have misspelled CivilizationV_DX11). This also happens with the CivlizationV (directX 9 I believe). It also seems to happen inconisitently, like Ill play 2 turns then crash and then I'll try again and play for 6 turns untill it crashes.
I'm bad with computers so I have no idea what to do


Runtime Error!

Program: ...apps\common\sid meier's civilization v\CivilizationV_DX11.exe

This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

I played v.22 in hotseat as germany and soviet union and I got past the turn I usually get a runtime error plus the game was running alot more smoothly and was less choppy. I then quit to play as soviet union and greece so I wouldn't be playing against myself and I got a runtime error I believe before the match even loaded. My guess is that the runtime error is not caused by the map.

Ok first I have to say this mod is pretty incredible! Really amazing job so far

Okey so I tried this mods 1936 scenario. It was pretty sweet. By October 1939 I had captured whole Poland, Netherlands, Belgium and I was about to capture Luxembourg, but then comes the problem. I get crash to deskstop whenever I try to capture Luxembourg? WTH. Ok I was mad, but I decided to leave that state be and made peace with it, since I couldnt capture it without crash.

Well ok now I'm at december 1939 Im capturing Paris, and here it comes again CTD. !! Now I'm mad. Anyone know the problem?


Edit: I checked I seem to have the latest version too v.23 and datafiles v.3

Gedemon,

I have done some Finnish reskins of the T-26 and fighter for my Eastern Front scenario.

If it helps make keep the Finnish fans happy, then I will PM them over to you tonight. As per my last units, nothing flash, just simple reskins of danrell's units.

BTW, I don't have a skin for the Finnish StuG yet as I could find nothing as a close match and I don't want to redraw the skin. The Finns used a different camo style to the German equipment.

Can we please finish up the already planned units that have been missing from this mod for months before we start working on Finland or some other new faction.

Well I'd Love to do the units but I think there is still a unit limit problem (am I correct?).

Click to expand...

1. Check if the unit class is already defined in NewUnitClasses.sql. All that are not greyed in the speadsheet should be available.
   example :
   
   Spoiler :

   Code:

   -- Light Tank 2 B
   INSERT INTO "UnitClasses" ('Type', 'Description', 'MaxGlobalInstances', 'MaxTeamInstances', 'MaxPlayerInstances', 'InstanceCostModifier', 'DefaultUnit' )
   	SELECT ("UNITCLASS_LIGHT_TANK_2_B"), ("TXT_KEY_UNIT_LIGHT_TANK"), "MaxGlobalInstances", "MaxTeamInstances", "MaxPlayerInstances", "InstanceCostModifier", "DefaultUnit"
   	FROM "UnitClasses" WHERE (Type = "UNITCLASS_TANK");

   That's the definition for the LIGHT_TANK_2_B class from the spreadsheet, which is used by the Panzer II Ausf L and the M5 Stuart. It refers to the data of the closest vanilla class : UNITCLASS_TANK
   
2. Check if there is a template for that class in NewDefaultUnits.sql
   Here's the code for the template of units of the LIGHT_TANK_2_B class :
   
   Spoiler :

   Code:

   -- light tank 2 B
   INSERT INTO "Units" ('Type', 'Description', 'Civilopedia', 'Strategy', 'Help', 'Requirements', 'Combat', 'RangedCombat', 'Cost', 'Moves', 'Immobile', 'Range', 'BaseSightRange', 'Class', 'Special', 'Capture', 'CombatClass', 'Domain', 'CivilianAttackPriority', 'DefaultUnitAI', 'Food', 'NoBadGoodies', 'RivalTerritory', 'MilitarySupport', 'MilitaryProduction', 'Pillage', 'Found', 'FoundAbroad', 'CultureBombRadius', 'GoldenAgeTurns', 'IgnoreBuildingDefense', 'PrereqResources', 'Mechanized', 'Suicide', 'CaptureWhileEmbarked', 'PrereqTech', 'ObsoleteTech', 'GoodyHutUpgradeUnitClass', 'HurryCostModifier', 'AdvancedStartCost', 'MinAreaSize', 'AirUnitCap', 'NukeDamageLevel', 'WorkRate', 'NumFreeTechs', 'RushBuilding', 'BaseHurry', 'HurryMultiplier', 'BaseGold', 'NumGoldPerEra', 'SpreadReligion', 'IsReligious', 'CombatLimit', 'RangeAttackOnlyInDomain', 'RangeAttackIgnoreLOS', 'RangedCombatLimit', 'XPValueAttack', 'XPValueDefense', 'SpecialCargo', 'DomainCargo', 'Conscription', 'ExtraMaintenanceCost', 'NoMaintenance', 'Unhappiness', 'UnitArtInfo', 'UnitArtInfoCulturalVariation', 'UnitArtInfoEraVariation', 'ProjectPrereq', 'SpaceshipProject', 'LeaderPromotion', 'LeaderExperience', 'DontShowYields', 'ShowInPedia', 'MoveRate', 'UnitFlagIconOffset', 'PortraitIndex', 'IconAtlas', 'UnitFlagAtlas')
   	SELECT	("UNIT_LIGHT_TANK_2_B"), ("TXT_KEY_UNIT_LIGHT_TANK"), "Civilopedia", "Strategy", "Help", "Requirements",
   			(48), "RangedCombat", (325), (5), "Immobile", "Range", "BaseSightRange", ("UNITCLASS_LIGHT_TANK_2_B"), "Special", "Capture", "CombatClass", "Domain", "CivilianAttackPriority", "DefaultUnitAI", "Food", "NoBadGoodies", "RivalTerritory", "MilitarySupport", "MilitaryProduction", "Pillage", "Found", "FoundAbroad", "CultureBombRadius", "GoldenAgeTurns", "IgnoreBuildingDefense", "PrereqResources", "Mechanized", "Suicide", "CaptureWhileEmbarked", "PrereqTech", "ObsoleteTech", "GoodyHutUpgradeUnitClass", "HurryCostModifier", "AdvancedStartCost", "MinAreaSize", "AirUnitCap", "NukeDamageLevel", "WorkRate", "NumFreeTechs", "RushBuilding", "BaseHurry", "HurryMultiplier", "BaseGold", "NumGoldPerEra", "SpreadReligion", "IsReligious", "CombatLimit", "RangeAttackOnlyInDomain", "RangeAttackIgnoreLOS", "RangedCombatLimit", "XPValueAttack", "XPValueDefense", "SpecialCargo", "DomainCargo", "Conscription", "ExtraMaintenanceCost", "NoMaintenance", "Unhappiness",
   			("ART_DEF_UNIT_LIGHT_TANK_2"), "UnitArtInfoCulturalVariation", "UnitArtInfoEraVariation", "ProjectPrereq", "SpaceshipProject", "LeaderPromotion", "LeaderExperience", "DontShowYields", "ShowInPedia", "MoveRate",
   			("1"), "PortraitIndex", "IconAtlas", ("WW2_UNIT_FLAGS")
   	FROM "Units" WHERE (Type = "UNIT_LIGHT_TANK");
   INSERT INTO "Unit_AITypes" ('UnitType', 'UnitAIType')
   	SELECT ("UNIT_LIGHT_TANK_2_B"), "UnitAIType"
   	FROM "Unit_AITypes" WHERE (UnitType = "UNIT_LIGHT_TANK");
   INSERT INTO "Unit_ClassUpgrades" ('UnitType', 'UnitClassType')
   	SELECT ("UNIT_LIGHT_TANK_2_B"), "UnitClassType"
   	FROM "Unit_ClassUpgrades" WHERE (UnitType = "UNIT_LIGHT_TANK");
   INSERT INTO "Unit_Flavors" ('UnitType', 'FlavorType', 'Flavor')
   	SELECT ("UNIT_LIGHT_TANK_2_B"), "FlavorType", "Flavor"
   	FROM "Unit_Flavors" WHERE (UnitType = "UNIT_LIGHT_TANK");
   INSERT INTO "Unit_FreePromotions" ('UnitType', 'PromotionType')
   	SELECT ("UNIT_LIGHT_TANK_2_B"), "PromotionType"
   	FROM "Unit_FreePromotions" WHERE (UnitType = "UNIT_LIGHT_TANK");
   INSERT INTO "Unit_ResourceQuantityRequirements" ('UnitType', 'ResourceType', 'Cost')
   	SELECT ("UNIT_LIGHT_TANK_2_B"), "ResourceType", "Cost"
   	FROM "Unit_ResourceQuantityRequirements" WHERE (UnitType = "UNIT_LIGHT_TANK");
   ----

   Note that it refers to the UNIT_LIGHT_TANK template for copying shared data of the light tank group (like promotions), so it must be placed AFTER in the file. that's where an unit specific stats are set (moves, combat strenght, cost, ...)
   
3. Now, the units themselves are defined in NewUnitsTanks.sql, NewUnitsFighters.sql, etc...
   Here's the code for the Panzer II Ausf L
   
   Spoiler :

   Code:

   -- Panzer II Ausf L
   INSERT INTO "Units" ('Type', 'Description', 'Civilopedia', 'Strategy', 'Help', 'Requirements', 'Combat', 'RangedCombat', 'Cost', 'Moves', 'Immobile', 'Range', 'BaseSightRange', 'Class', 'Special', 'Capture', 'CombatClass', 'Domain', 'CivilianAttackPriority', 'DefaultUnitAI', 'Food', 'NoBadGoodies', 'RivalTerritory', 'MilitarySupport', 'MilitaryProduction', 'Pillage', 'Found', 'FoundAbroad', 'CultureBombRadius', 'GoldenAgeTurns', 'IgnoreBuildingDefense', 'PrereqResources', 'Mechanized', 'Suicide', 'CaptureWhileEmbarked', 'PrereqTech', 'ObsoleteTech', 'GoodyHutUpgradeUnitClass', 'HurryCostModifier', 'AdvancedStartCost', 'MinAreaSize', 'AirUnitCap', 'NukeDamageLevel', 'WorkRate', 'NumFreeTechs', 'RushBuilding', 'BaseHurry', 'HurryMultiplier', 'BaseGold', 'NumGoldPerEra', 'SpreadReligion', 'IsReligious', 'CombatLimit', 'RangeAttackOnlyInDomain', 'RangeAttackIgnoreLOS', 'RangedCombatLimit', 'XPValueAttack', 'XPValueDefense', 'SpecialCargo', 'DomainCargo', 'Conscription', 'ExtraMaintenanceCost', 'NoMaintenance', 'Unhappiness', 'UnitArtInfo', 'UnitArtInfoCulturalVariation', 'UnitArtInfoEraVariation', 'ProjectPrereq', 'SpaceshipProject', 'LeaderPromotion', 'LeaderExperience', 'DontShowYields', 'ShowInPedia', 'MoveRate', 'UnitFlagIconOffset', 'PortraitIndex', 'IconAtlas', 'UnitFlagAtlas')
   	SELECT	("UNIT_TANK_PANZER_II_L"), ("TXT_KEY_UNIT_TANK_PANZER_II_L"), "Civilopedia", ("TXT_KEY_UNIT_TANK_PANZER_II_TEXT"), "Help", "Requirements", "Combat", "RangedCombat", "Cost", "Moves", "Immobile", "Range", "BaseSightRange", "Class", "Special", "Capture", "CombatClass", "Domain", "CivilianAttackPriority", "DefaultUnitAI", "Food", "NoBadGoodies", "RivalTerritory", "MilitarySupport", "MilitaryProduction", "Pillage", "Found", "FoundAbroad", "CultureBombRadius", "GoldenAgeTurns", "IgnoreBuildingDefense", "PrereqResources", "Mechanized", "Suicide", "CaptureWhileEmbarked", "PrereqTech", "ObsoleteTech", "GoodyHutUpgradeUnitClass", "HurryCostModifier", "AdvancedStartCost", "MinAreaSize", "AirUnitCap", "NukeDamageLevel", "WorkRate", "NumFreeTechs", "RushBuilding", "BaseHurry", "HurryMultiplier", "BaseGold", "NumGoldPerEra", "SpreadReligion", "IsReligious", "CombatLimit", "RangeAttackOnlyInDomain", "RangeAttackIgnoreLOS", "RangedCombatLimit", "XPValueAttack", "XPValueDefense", "SpecialCargo", "DomainCargo", "Conscription", "ExtraMaintenanceCost", "NoMaintenance", "Unhappiness",
   			("ART_DEF_UNIT_TANK_PANZER_II_L"), "UnitArtInfoCulturalVariation", "UnitArtInfoEraVariation", ("PROJECT_LIGHT_TANK_PANZER_II_L"), "SpaceshipProject", "LeaderPromotion", "LeaderExperience", "DontShowYields", "ShowInPedia", "MoveRate", ("1"), "PortraitIndex", "IconAtlas", ("WW2_UNIT_FLAGS")
   	FROM "Units" WHERE (Type = "UNIT_LIGHT_TANK_2_B");
   INSERT INTO "Language_en_US" ( 'Tag', 'Text' )
   	VALUES ( 'TXT_KEY_UNIT_TANK_PANZER_II_L', 'Panzer II Ausf L' );
   INSERT INTO "Unit_AITypes" ('UnitType', 'UnitAIType')
   	SELECT ("UNIT_TANK_PANZER_II_L"), "UnitAIType"
   	FROM "Unit_AITypes" WHERE (UnitType = "UNIT_LIGHT_TANK_2_B");
   INSERT INTO "Unit_ClassUpgrades" ('UnitType', 'UnitClassType')
   	SELECT ("UNIT_TANK_PANZER_II_L"), "UnitClassType"
   	FROM "Unit_ClassUpgrades" WHERE (UnitType = "UNIT_LIGHT_TANK_2_B");
   INSERT INTO "Civilization_UnitClassOverrides" ( 'CivilizationType', 'UnitClassType', 'UnitType' )
   	VALUES ( 'CIVILIZATION_GERMANY', 'UNITCLASS_LIGHT_TANK_2_B', 'UNIT_TANK_PANZER_II_L' );
   INSERT INTO "Unit_Flavors" ('UnitType', 'FlavorType', 'Flavor')
   	SELECT ("UNIT_TANK_PANZER_II_L"), "FlavorType", "Flavor"
   	FROM "Unit_Flavors" WHERE (UnitType = "UNIT_LIGHT_TANK_2_B");
   INSERT INTO "Unit_FreePromotions" ('UnitType', 'PromotionType')
   	SELECT ("UNIT_TANK_PANZER_II_L"), "PromotionType"
   	FROM "Unit_FreePromotions" WHERE (UnitType = "UNIT_LIGHT_TANK_2_B");
   INSERT INTO "Unit_ResourceQuantityRequirements" ('UnitType', 'ResourceType', 'Cost')
   	SELECT ("UNIT_TANK_PANZER_II_L"), "ResourceType", "Cost"
   	FROM "Unit_ResourceQuantityRequirements" WHERE (UnitType = "UNIT_LIGHT_TANK_2_B");

   Note how it refers to the template "UNIT_LIGHT_TANK_2_B"
   
4. Then you have to check if the class is correctly defined in RedDefines.lua
   
   Spoiler :

   Code:

   CLASS_LIGHT_TANK_2_B			= GameInfo.UnitClasses.UNITCLASS_LIGHT_TANK_2_B.ID

   and if it also set in the g_Unit_Classes table for the reinforcement mechanism
   
   Spoiler :

   Code:

   [CLASS_LIGHT_TANK_2_B] = {Capture = true, Moral = 100, NumType = TANK, MaterielRatio = 60, MaxHP = 100, Buildings = {FACTORY},},

5. Now for the unit themselves, while we are in RedDefines.lua check if the ID is set
   
   Spoiler :

   Code:

   GE_PANZER_II_L		= GameInfo.Units.UNIT_TANK_PANZER_II_L.ID

   And add it in the g_Major_Units table
   
   Spoiler :

   Code:

   	[GERMANY] = {
   		GE_INFANTRY,
   		GE_PANZER_II, GE_PANZER_II_L,
   		GE_PANZER_III, GE_PANZER_III_J, GE_PANZER_IV, GE_PANZER_IV_G, GE_PANZER_IV_H,
   		GE_BF109, GE_BF109_F, GE_BF109_G, GE_FW190, GE_BF110, GE_BF110_F4, GE_JU88C, GE_HE219,
   		GE_JU87, GE_JU88, GE_HE111, GE_HE177,
   		GE_DESTROYER, GE_SUBMARINE, GE_LEIPZIG, GE_DEUTSCHLAND, GE_BATTLESHIP, GE_BATTLESHIP_2,
   		ARTILLERY},

   Note that this table is used to restrict the available units for each scenario, and you still have to correctly refers to the civ using it in NewUnitsTanks.sql, else it won't be available.
   
6. finally, the ArtDefines, as set in NewUnitsTanks.sql (ex: ART_DEF_UNIT_TANK_PANZER_II_L for the Panzer II Ausf L), the entries have to be set in Civ5ArtDefines_UnitMembers.xml,
   
   Spoiler :

   Code:

   	<UnitMemberArtInfo>
   		<Type>ART_DEF_UNIT_MEMBER_TANK_PANZER_II_L</Type>
   		<fScale>0.105</fScale>
   		<Granny>Panzer_II_Ausf_L_Luchs.fxsxml</Granny>
   		<Combat>
   			<Defaults>ART_DEF_TEMPLATE_BASE</Defaults>
   			<bReformBeforeCombat>1</bReformBeforeCombat>
   			<bHasShortRangedAttack>1</bHasShortRangedAttack>
   			<bHasStationaryMelee>1</bHasStationaryMelee>
   			<bHasIndependentWeaponFacing>1</bHasIndependentWeaponFacing>
   			<bHasRefaceAfterCombat>0</bHasRefaceAfterCombat>
   			<Weapon>
   				<fVisKillStrengthMin>25.0</fVisKillStrengthMin>
   				<fVisKillStrengthMax>50.0</fVisKillStrengthMax>
   				<HitEffect>ART_DEF_VEFFECT_TANK_IMPACT_$(TERRAIN)</HitEffect>
   				<WeaponTypeTag>EXPLOSIVE</WeaponTypeTag>
   				<WeaponTypeSoundOverrideTag>EXPLOSION6POUND</WeaponTypeSoundOverrideTag>
   			</Weapon>
   		</Combat>
   		<MaterialTypeTag>METAL</MaterialTypeTag>
   		<MaterialTypeSoundOverrideTag>METALSM</MaterialTypeSoundOverrideTag>
   	</UnitMemberArtInfo>

   (referring to the unit fxsxml file from the data mod), and in Civ5ArtDefines_Units.xml
   
   Spoiler :

   Code:

   	<UnitArtInfo>
   		<Type>ART_DEF_UNIT_TANK_PANZER_II_L</Type>
   		<Formation>Vehicle</Formation>
   		<DamageStates>1</DamageStates>
   		<UnitMemberArt>
   			<MemberType>ART_DEF_UNIT_MEMBER_TANK_PANZER_II_L</MemberType>
   			<MemberCount>3</MemberCount>
   		</UnitMemberArt>
   	</UnitArtInfo>
