[UXP] Legends of Revolutions

Anybody have this minor glitch/bug? GG are being generated for all the various Civs in my current game, and I just noticed, around 1450 AD, that their all being named "Great General". Did it just run out of names or is there some other reason? Just wondering, it's not a big deal, just curious. This is still one of the best Mods ever done.

This is not unique to LoR. Civ only has so many names for great people, once they're all used up you just get generic "Great Whatever".

Just wondering if anyone has experienced an LoR crash to desktop .. i received a W7 "Program Close" error with the following details .. i suspect it may be video related but i'm not sure how to interpret the following error data:

If anyone has some advice on hw to interpret the above error data it would be greatly appreciated ..

As I recall, that error means the app tried to access memory not allocated to it. That's a programming error, not checking bounds. Win7 is much better at detecting that condition than previous versions. If you add the "offset" value to the memory address where the app is loaded, you can see how close to the end of your physical memory it is. Bear in mind that since this is a 32-bit program, it can only access the first 4 GB of memory, and the OS plus your video memory will chew up 1+GB of that. In practice, only about 2GB will be available for the game.

Things you can do:
Reduce the resolution of the graphics in the game menu of the current game (low res textures and smaller screen size), use a smaller map size and/or fewer opponents for a new game, and in either case close unnecessary programs either manually or with an app like GameBuster.

Thanks Dubious .. much appreciated .. i did as you suggested (i.e. low res, smaller screen size & close oter program) and seems to be fine .. really appreciate your help ..
Cheers

so phungus, how's your RL quest going? I wish you the best.

I thought I may have mentioned this here before but can't find a post about it and can't re-create the graphics glitch as yet.

Has anybody ever seen a stack of coal or oil powered ships transform into one of those German Landkreuzer prototype supertanks ?

Really? I've never seen, or heard about that one.

I don't even recall that particular model being in any of the various versions of this mod all the way back to Wolfshanze, and Bronze, Steam, and Tears.

I think it might be mixed with a dreadnaught animation or something, but if you in particular haven't seen it, it makes me scratch my head and question my memory.

I play with animations on.

I remember a similar problem. In the vanilla art files there is a "Dreadnought" that looks like your super tank. I've never seen it in game but maybe it was used by an official mod. The "Dreadnought" ship art folder should replace completely the older folder.

So you think the animation for the Dreadnought super tank-thingy that's in the included Next War mod, somehow superimposes itself over the Dreadnought ship art? Now I understand what you're saying. I still don't recall it ever occurring, but, then again, stranger things have been known to happen. Must be kind of of jarring to see your WWI invasion fleet suddenly turn into a far-future supertank.

I would think that if this happened it must've been before AchillesZero cleaned up the art for LoR.

I never played Nextwar, but I saw the thing discussed & some pictures ( I think by Wolfie in a unit art thread. ) Otherwise I would have said "Why does this battleship have treads?" instead of recognizing it as Nazi German technology. Maybe they are different skins for the same skeleton/model, I don't know.

It is weird in a Transformer/Decepticon kind of way.

Was AchillesZero finished when his computer went down? It's tragic, really.

I got him interested in the idea of regional goodie huts - an igloo, a tepee, a grass hut, etc. I helped him find artwork on the forums/other Sid games, and showed him the code pertaining to animals in specific terrains and he thought it was doable and the projest was coming along nicely when.... his machine failed.

Anybody else seen any other bugs?

hhmmm...would not be too hard to add additional goody hut type improvements and then let the normal be replaced after game start with the specific ones.

Possible bug in my current game wanted to get a quick opinion on. It's 1495 AD, got Cathy to my North and we've been duking it out. War is winding down, when I notice with my Spy that she has founded Creative Const. in one of her cities.

Nobody is close to Corporations, I'm not to far off, but not there yet. And we're definitely not close to Combustion to allow for it to be founded, so how did this happen?

I didn't want to abandon the game, so I just went into WB and removed the HQ and moved on with the game. It's now the late 1600's and Charley just founded Mining Inc., so I looked around and on the Corp. screen it shows that Creative was founded in 1495, but there aren't any offices and no HQ.

Two questions, is this a known bug, and if so how can I get rid of it for future use? And is there anyway to open Creative back up so the other's have the opportunity to found it? Not a deal breaker or anything, I'm just having a great time with this game and don't want to abandon it right now. Thanks.

Before you deleted the HQ in WB, did you look at her techs, and make absolutely sure she didn't have Combustion/Corporation?

What's with the unrelated files on the SVN? Isn't this a pretty strange way to transfer personal files?

Click to expand...

Yes, I actually started by looking at her Techs before I did anything else. It was strange because she wasn't even remotely close. It could be just a one time thing, I guess I will know better when I start another game, I was just wondering if somebody has seen it before, and if it could be fixed in game now so that it's open to be founded. Thanks.

I don't have BTS installed in the normal location and then I have it installed again, without the patch, in the normal section. But I do not wish to install the patch on the right-location version since the no-patch version lets me play with some people I know who don't have the patch (and won't put it on due to some memory-type issues)

But anyway it detects the non-patched version and so it won't install. Help?

Temporarily swap folder names?

Hmmm.. I'll try that
EDIT Worked like a charm, thanks!
