Hello, fellow modder here. I vaguely recall looking thru either the EUI logs or somewhere in the code and seeing something that indicated lua memory usage. Just wondering how I can access those functions or what the other good ways of optimizing large mods are. Props for your incredibly polished mod.

Thank you, bc1, for your continued investment in this mod.
Please check this out. In the attached save I cannot gift 500G to Cahokia. I gifted 250G to Zurich a couple of turns ago, no problem. That same turn I tried to gift Cahokia, couldn't. Thought maybe it would work next turn, but it didn't, and has continued to not work. I'm playing HOF rules, so EUI is the only influence on game play.
I'm using 1.29d, haven't had a chance yet to update to .e (but that says "cosmetic fixes", so...)

Hi, having problems with trying to play the game with the mod with my friends. I followed the instructions multiple times but if more than one person has the mod it changes the game to the base game and crashes. The solution we found was to just have one person play with it, but we'd like everyone to be able to play with it. Thanks for the help.

Minor bugreport:
Since as long as I use EUI mod there are always plots that are not displaying yields, although they have yields. They are most often a big cluster of ~10x10 plots or so, there may be more than one of such a cluster, but most often it is only one. And depending on the zoom level and on the scroll level (if the cluster is in the middle of screen or on the edge) the yields do show or do not show.
Hopefully with this description you already know what might cause it. I confirmed this behaviour with the original EUI 1.29e without any mods and this does not happen with the original YieldIconManager.
It should be easy to reproduce when loading any singpleplayer map with big size and zoom/scroll over the whole map to find such a cluster (use a lua command or mod to explore the map). If you can't reproduce it, let me know and I will send you a savegame.
edit: ok you are right, it is no EUI issue, so most likely canot be fixed =/
And a vanilla game bug (that is also present and made worse in EUI) you might be interested in fixing:
When you have 2 cities quite near next to each other, so you can exchange their plots to be worked by the other city, the "switch-buttons" in the cityview do not show always properly. It happens that instead it shows the usual "empty citizen" button, which is quite confusing if you want to know which plot belongs to which city. If you click that empty citizen button it switches the plot to the other city, but without forcing a citizen to that plot. Only a second click will force a citizen to that plot. So the button is working as intended, but with wrong icon.
This is also easy to reproduce, simply load any game in advanced era to start with 2 settlers and choose shoshones as civ to have more land on settling. Settle them next to each other and you should see what I mean.
--> if you fix this, I recommend to also make these buttons (force-work and switch) to show even if the plot has no yield at all. Because in my current game (with EUI) I'm unable to switch a desert plot from one city to the other (because the desert currently has no yield, making the button do not appear). The city I want to switch it to has petra wonder built, so desert will gain yields there.
When I disable EUI I can switch the desert plot like described above, while with EUI for non of the 2 cities the desert plot is displaying any button, so partly this is a bug from EUI.

When I use the enter key, it no longer pops up research, production, social policies I need to select, etc. I would guess that "ActionInfoPanel: enter key goes to next end blocking task" is supposed to do that. Any help on how to get that to work? It worked in a prior ersion.

Minor issue, I should've mentioned it before but it is extremely minor, hopefully fixable.
In Hotseat, when another player enters a new era it returns a " has entered the Classical Era".
I think the notification grabs the playerName instead of the leaderName, so with your changes to Hotseat setup it often causes the playerName to be blank.
Also, I'm not holding on any horses but would it be possible to add a small Denounce button on the Human-to-Human Trade Screen? I know that VP/CP had it.. not sure if it still does... I never understood why Firaxis neglected MP so much in Civ 5.

bc1 updated Civ5 Enhanced User Interface v1.29h
Now, warning lights are flashing down at Quality Control
Somebody threw a spanner, and they threw him in the hole
options added
fixed
click on big coin icon city screen upper left
this can be changed in the file "highlights.xml" inside the zEUI subfolder
this is a generic random problem with the game engine, reports litter the forum since 2010, might be a memory issue

I love the 1.29 version and loved the evolution. Now with the customization options it is possible to make an option that deactive some functions there can be used in some mods like community patch? I love both mods and want used together and if are there possibility this will be great helpful and a lot of people, just not only me, will be happy.

First of all thanks for EUI - have been using it for years now and I simply love it (I do however use the VP adopted version now)! One thing I was wondering is which files control the civilization list in the right side of the screen (see image if in doubt)? I don't see it and I think I have a mod conflict, so I'd like to look for the appropriate file(-s).

I would like to start out by saying that EUI is absolutely fantastic and am very happy that you've made it since it's leagues above the default UI. I just recently started using this without problems in singleplayer, but when trying to join multiplayer is where an odd issue arose. Whenever I would try to join a friend's multiplayer game, it would load for a few seconds and then immediately go back to the main menu screen without any error messages or anything. I was able to get around this by deleting the FrontEnd folder from the EUI folder, but thought I should say something here so that someone who knows what they're doing with coding can look at it and see any potential issues. I can add the file back to get the Lua file if needed as well.
