So, a question: how do I get this mod to work? I put it in my folder, have it checked on, but it never seems to do anything? I checked my logs and I didn't see anything saying there was an error.

I've noticed this mod causes the game to freeze up for a little while (~10 seconds) when saving. It's by no means a big deal and I probably wouldn't have even noticed if I weren't a compulsive saver (autosave every 5 turns, and many more manual saves). But, I just wanted to verify that it's a known effect of the mod and not something on my end.

Thanks that might explain the significant slow down after the barbarians take their turn (hard freeze for 10 seconds). I'll try turning off autosaves and see if that makes a difference.

It may be from this mod, though it's not something I've personally observed. I have code that intercepts saves to save the mod data (from Pazyryk's TableSaverLoader) though the amount of data being saved is very small so it shouldn't have any noticable effect.

If you turn off all other mods and are still getting the problem, please send me your lua logs. Thanks!

I've also noticed natural wonders being tagged as normal mountains. Is this simply a consequence of how the game classifies natural wonders?

I could see it happening if you have min mountain size set to 1 plot. I'll add a check to the next version to prevent it. Thanks for the feedback.

When Map Labels is activated, it shows a pop-up panel in the middle of the screen on game start, a notification explaining how to access it, and an entry in the mini-map menu. If you aren't getting any of these, either it's not properly loading (see http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=440525) or there are lua errors. If you still can't get it to work, send me your lua log.

Yeah, I don't get the pop-up at the start, nor the entry in the mini-map menu. So something must be wrong as you said. Here's my LUA log, hopefully that'll help: https://www.dropbox.com/s/alitz86va70yqt6/Lua.log?dl=0

Thank you!

There's no indication in your log that MapLabels is loaded. I would make sure it's checked and follow the steps in the link in the above post, but beyond that I don't think I can help.

Hm. Ok, thanks!

It definitely happens when I use the mod by itself. I tried to teach myself to enable lua logging just now but don't really know what I'm doing/what to send you. A nudge in the right direction would be much appreciated

Hi joosegoose we have the same problem. Ok so you have this line enabled in config.ini:
; Enable the logging system
LoggingEnabled = 1

now all you have to do is play, exit and look at the folder "Logs" that runs along side your other game folders in your documents.

The file is probably lua.log.

but to keep it simple, you could zip the whole folder and upload it here for analysis.

joosegoose25 · Aug 31, 2014

Alright, couldn't seem to upload the Lua file by itself so here's the whole Logs folder.

Let me know if I screwed anything up!

I haven't had a chance to update Tojo with proper support (my original method was incorrect). But Prussia - the latest version - should be fine. Try re-downloading the mod just in case. I don't see how Victoria could be working though - she doesn't have support at all yet.

By working I mean I get labels and can use the map labels options.

BTW... I had a game with v6 (last version I used before that one was v4) and there seems to be something lagging when starting the human player's turn. Taking far too long than before, and when I disabled v6 it no longer was laggy.

TheLohoped · Sep 8, 2014

Can confirm, barbarian turn takes ages to complete. Not sure who is responsible for this: Map Labels or Events and Decisions.

Civitar · Sep 9, 2014

@Hazel16: Wanted to upgrade to v6 (I still have v4), but still can't access the download site. Do you think you could upload to CFC, or just zip it here?

EDIT: Never mind, it appears to be zipped up a few pages back. Sorry!

Labels - when I deactivated it, the turns were back to normal. Events and Decisions runs rather smoothly.

I was making something similar, but it names features on the map with fictional names. It's a lot less sophisticated, and doesn't allow editing the names in game. If you'd like to add an option for using fantasy names, I've attached a lua file with the code to generate the names (it should be usable as an include). They're generated from markov chains of civilization's city names. The function GetName and GetNames can get a name or a list of names based on a specific civ, ( for example GetName('greece') ) or a random civ.

Leugi · Sep 28, 2014

Anyway, no update for this? I truly miss using it, and it didn't have the huge turn times issue before v6 (v4 was fine)
