Bug Thread

I've got a serious problem. Probably goes beyond just "bug".

This is the issue: whenever I load the mod it just has me playing regular civ instead of final fronter +.

I hope the attached documents are helpful.

As to the python error: It's a blank file.

Just so we're clear: This is where I've installed it (hopefully it's the right place).

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword\Beyond the Sword\Mods

I also am fully updated with beyond the sword, and I've installed the latest patch of the game.

The pictures show that you have a Final Frontier Plus folder inside your Final Frontier Plus folder. This is incorrect. You need to move the contents of the mod up one level so that the ...\Mods\Final Frontier Plus folder directly contains the Assets folder and such.
 
That fixed my problem. Thank you!
 
Wormholes are broken. When a unit uses them it continue to moves until it reaches again the wormhole.
 
I'm not sure what happened, but the mod no longer generates (or no longer renders, not sure which) planet-based resources any more. This even includes save games in which the resources appeared.

Known behavior, that IIRC is an artifact of moving the wormholes implementation from Python to C++, but I forget why. I've treated this as a mild inconvenience, but it is a bug and something I'll try to fix for the next release.

Huh, that's odd. Can you perhaps post a save where you had planet-based resources and I'll take a look at it?

Did anything change on your system between the last time you loaded such a save?
 
I installed v1.84 in my BTS mods folder, went to Civ IV, called up the mod, it started to install and then nothing. I got a completely black screen. I couldn't even call up Task Manager. I had to literally turn off my computer and turn it on again. I tried to run FF+ three times and had the same thing happen each time. I can run other mods (C2C, Realism Invictus, FfH2) but FF+ doesn't load for me.

Hi! I managed to install the mod but when I try to start a game the star system has no star and no planets. Additionally, the game displays an error message: "bug config-failure parsing... ...\mods\finalfrontier plus.xml at line 8 and line 9". How do I solve this problem? I have a GOG version of Civ 4 and it has the 3.19 patch.

I am not sure, but it is likely your problem is caused by installing the game in program files folder. In newer versions of windows, files inside program files (and program files (x86)) are protected by UAC (user account control) and changing them requires admin privileges (which your game does not have normally). In this case the game is not actually trying to change the file, but the system might think that it is for some reason.

If this is actually the root of your problem, an easy solution would be to install the game outside of system folders so that you don't have to worry about it, e.g. install it in C:\Games. You might also try turning off UAC to see if it helps or try to run the game as an admin (right click -> run as administrator).

This is unrelated to your problem, but your screenshot says that you have version 1.81 of the mod installed while the newest available version is 1.84.

I reinstalled the game in the C:Games folder and applied the last FF Plus patch but nothing has changed. I also turned off UAC.

Weird.

You could try a couple of things:
1) Verify that you really have v3.19: Check ingame in main menu -> advanced -> about this build. There is also one Steam issue that should be irrelevant for GoG, but check whether there is a Direct IP option in multiplayer menu.
2) Download Notepad++, open Final Frontier Plus.xml with it and set view -> show symbol -> show all characters. This should enable you to see whether this file has correct windows style end of line characters (CR/LF) and the right amount of tabs etc.
3) Go to Beyond the Sword folder, open _Civ4Config file and set HidePythonExceptions to 0, LoggingEnabled to 1, OverwriteLogs to 1 and save it. Then after trying to start a game of Final Frontier Plus you should find PythonDbg, PythonErr and PythonErr2 files in ...\My Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\Logs. Attach them here so that we can see are there any other problems for which you don't get an error message ingame.

Two more things:
1) Your folder structure seems weird, you have Civ4 folder inside Civilization IV Complete, that is really unlikely to have caused your problem, but you do have one subfolder level more than needed. Usually people have just Civilization IV Complete\Beyond the Sword.
2) You should edit your posts and put spoiler tags around images you have attached to make the thread more readable, i.e. if you use this in your posts
Code:

The reason for there being more folders than necessary is that "Civ4Complete" includes Colonization as well so there is a Civ 4 and Colonization folder in there.

According to PythonErr.xml your problem seems to be caused by FinalFrontierGameUtils file (found in Final Frontier Plus/assets/python). Can you upload that file?
