Info Addict

Infoaddict doesn't seem to work for me.
I've installed according instructions and also used the compatability file for EU1, but when I load the mod and I start a game I don't see anything changing. Infoaddict simply ain't working.

When I meet a leader and I hold my cursor on the leader head it doesn't show what Infoaddict is supposed to show. Like the number of cities etc.
 
InfoAddict doesn't show the number of cities though.

I think it does. Unless that is EU1.
Anyways, I don't get the infoaddict button either. It's just not the same as before I had to completely remove Civ5.
I had EU1, Infoaddict and NQmod installed. Only difference is NQmod v9 instead of v8, but I doubt this problem comes from the NQ mod.
 
I have the mod enabled, everything. It just won't work for me. Nothing is coming up. I tried to install it manual and steam workshop, doesn't work. Any help? New to the whole modding civ 5
 
1) above is "current version v22"
but the link you give is Current Version: v21 (2013-09-08)
2) theren there is for v22 the Info Addict compatibility file for EUI
but what is EUI ???
confusing, pls make it so that all points to the correct download file(s)

3) not working with existing games? only with new set up games? I get runtume error dc11 when I load a sav.

1) The original post links to Steam and to the direct download here. The download page here, the description says v21 but if you download it, inside it does say v22
2) EUI is Enhanced UI, another mod here that makes significant (for the better IMO) changes to the user interface. See here: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/enhanced-user-interface.512263/
3) Historical data wouldn't exist in an existing save, since it saves that as the game proceeds. I don't know if it will work on existing, never tried.
 
Sorry for asking but I'm trying to find out where (and if) I can find a EUI compatible version where the ctd problem (when restarting, exiting to main menu etc) had been solved.

Can't really find heads and tails in the discussion right now :)

I haven't since I couldn't find any info on the CTD problem, only that this replacement file should make Info Addict compatible with EUI.

Info addict is known to cause CTD's when restarting maps, exiting to main menu, etc.

That may explain why I get freezes on exit to desktop after quicksaving and other strange quirks. Info addict seems quite busy in Lua logs when I view it. It seems like a resource hog in between turns

It's a bug that's been there for a looooong time AFAIK, but I think someone posted a fix at some point. Thing is I just returned to Civ5 after giving up on Civ6 and I don't remember where I saw it...

I found this way back in the thread for keyword "fix" as a change to the .modinfo which apparently stops CTDs.

Good news, one and all! If you are a user of EUI or are tired of IA making your game crash more frequently, I have a simple fix found here. It's a modified InfoAddict as well as Diplomacy Values rolled into a single modpack. The modification I gave InfoAddict not only makes it work perfectly fine with EUI, but also seems to have stopped the crashing! Whereas the thing I mentioned before about crashing was was only intermittently better. For those who aren't interested in the DLC, you can include this fix yourself. Go to IA's .modinfo file and change "InGameUIAddin" to "DiplomacyUIAddin". Thanks to reddit user Nalkor for pointing this out.[/QUOTE

I tested and it still shows the IA button on the EUI screen, however I suppose now since it's registered differently, it has greater compatibility. I have leaderheads in config.ini configured as screenshots so I have disabled animation already.

InfoAddict should have registered itself as a DiplomacyUIAddin

↑
Info Addict v22: should be compatible provided EITHER: EUI's "LeaderHead" module is disabled, OR: Info Addict's .modinfo file is manually edited to replace "InGameUIAddin" by "DiplomacyUIAddin"

Hi! When I install InfoAddict as a DLC, all its text in game is in English, but I need Russian! What should I do? There is ru_RU-file, and it is active. But there is also CIV5Units_Mongol.xml, that is only in english and replaces whole text... And I don't know, should I delete it or not? Any help, please?
 
I know this thread is very old but can the graphs for info addict be copied into a spreadsheet somehow or is there a text file of data kept somewhere that I could access?

Thanks
 
Hi all...
So I am doing it correctly i.e. loading from the MOD screen, not the main screen. I even got the acheivement badge for using a new mod!! But nope, it ain't there.....I have added a couple but the one I really want is the Info Addict mod. I have checked the instructions, I know I have to hit the scroll button, but there is just no IA button.......
....please help! Thanks in advance.....
