CAT + CSD... waaahhhhh....

is completely different than the first entry of this topic. this looks to me like your trying to make the two programs run together right off the bat, but its not working. I have successfully narrowed my problems to these two files... but I want to use them both really bad

I fixed my personal error in reading english, which I choose not to tell you is my first language. The error message that the ai and tools couldn't be loaded went away, but I still cant choose production after I settle my first city. I read the topic below mine and did a check through steam of my civ 5 main files they checked out... I have tried both no dll and the dll?

- Added note 1: scoured for an answer, found and tried saving and loading a started game, and using the restart map feature, no luck.

- note 2: ok! so, my all day research has come to the fact that this has been previously identified as a syntax bug... and theres a file on "Github" that can fix the problem, somewhere in the mess of I-dont-know-what-to-do-on-this-site. I tried the last two releases, the minor update and the one before it. the only other files I see, including the file I believe to be the syntax fix, is in a large group of bug-fixes... in a larger group of files that look like back-end programming stuff. I feel like im sooooo cloooseee...

-note 3: I just found the same bugfix in the files unpacked by the original manual download. im guessing it cant be accessed as is... that or im wrong about my problem... if im right, someone please tell me what to do with the file in interface>bugfixes?

I have no idea what you are asking. What "first entry of this topic" means I have no idea.

It looks like you have tried to ask a question, then changed your mind, edited the post and then later added a second post.

Firstly, have you got the latest versions of all the mods and an up-to-date game?
If so the next step is to read the threads specific to your 'problem'. There is a stickied thread devoted to CSD & CEP working together.
Then provide as much information about what you are/aren't experiencing. The thread about enabling logs is also important.
After taking those steps please post your question in such a manner as to get a response.

Now, with that out of the way.
The Communitas modules have been working alongside with CSD for quite sometime. (I'm assuming this is what you were trying to ask.)

I am also assuming you are trying to use just CAT and CSD? If this is the case you have no problem to try and fix. CSD makes changes to the diplomacy effects in policies and some buildings which are elements that CAT just doesn't touch. It is the CEG module that needs these checks in place so that the two mods don't change the same things.

Now if your 'problem' is something different to what I am assuming, please post as much detail as possible below.

im very sorry, I was looking in to the problem i was having as I was posting, I should have finished looking in to it before starting.

It ended up being that when i start a new game with just the two mods installed (sometimes with civ IV diplomacy as well but it seems to make no difference, excluding CSD and running the other two works fine) I ran in to an immediate bug. I ended up realising that I installed the mod wrong, and a new bug came up. I am left with this:

upon starting a new game, I cant open the production menu for my first city.

continuing my research, I found that a reference to some kind of "syntax error" that as I understand "productionpopup.lua" is suppose to fix, located in interface>bugfixes. although I dont know how to implement the productionpopup.lua script into the mod, as I understand it should have done it itself...

Any error regarding a lack of the production queue will most likely be a case of two, or more, mods trying to overwrite the CityView.lua.

I believe CSD has added an updated copy of that file, though it makes only minimal changes and should be removed to use CEP's version instead.

Civ IV Diplomacy probably does a similar thing and you will need to decide which version to keep. I'm unsure what that mod does to that file, if anything.

Like I said, give as much information as possible. If you are trying to run CSD & CEG follow the guides here and you should have no problem.

I did it! im sorry I didnt start with this before, I hope I havn't confused the hell out of you!

both of these logs are running with CSD+Civ4dip+communitas(except the map)

I left civ4dip in because running civ4dip+communitas works with out error, at least at first glance. however, I have never used communitas before so I dont know what to expect

I followed the instructions to the letter before launching these record files, and the "without" zip file is simply the same conditions but I cut the specified file out of the mod directory!

If you need anything else let me know!

refers to the original location of the post, being "Guide to using the Communitas Expansion Pack (CEP) with the City-State Diplomacy mod" whereas the instructions were listed as

/*
CityState Diplomacy Mod Compatibility
1 = using CSD and Cep
0 = not using CSD and Cep
*/
INSERT INTO Cep (Type, Value) VALUES ('USING_CSD', 1);

as you can see, very different.

I am really sorry for double-triple-quadruple posting but I thought it would be very important to state that I decided to try my luck with v3.14... and it worked for all but the beginning game ctd error, therefor I am starting a new topic for the simple reason that this topic is full of random problems with different programs and such and so forth.
