I too haven't received any response from AMRA. I hope he is alright and truly enjoying the football season as he has previously alluded to.
@ Keldath:
Might you be able to confirm for me wether the following is true or not:
I discovered that the path for the MAUSOLEUM WONDER is missing ??? the button path is not missing but the building appears to be. A glance at the art folder reveals an apparent absence of the "Halicarnassus" folder. In my experience (limited) I have found that an absent/ incorrect artwork causes abrupt crashes once either the A1/human activates the order to commence building of a corrupt building.
If one looks at the Mausoleum Wonder inside the 'CIV4ArtDefines_Building XML file', they find the following:
...<NIF>Art/Structures/Buildings/Halicarnassus/Halicarnassus.nif</NIF>...
If one follows the path leading to its artwork, one finds there is no "Halicarnassus" folder and respective art folder here...I am thinking that in the absence of this, one will always experience crashes.
I apologize if this is not the case and if somehow AMRA was using another sophisticated means of connecting the xml file with the art file.
Personally, I cut and paste the artwork of the Indian Mausoleum into the respective "newly" created folder, and have now experienced no crashes, whcih before was a common fixture every time I played.
Bottom line is I have no more crashes- BUT I HAVE TO ADD that I have also systematically removed piece by piece many of the python programs in an effort to isolate the problem with the crashses.
Now, having discovered this XML related (possible) crash cause, I will be working forwards until all Python passes the crash test. This is no easy task for me since the python language is only something that I have started to look at in the past several days. To be honest with you all I am doing is using completed work of the real python masters' completed works, while hoping that "winmerge" helps make a possible merge possible.
Your comments are most welcome. Please reply or PM me.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Keep up your great work.
