, you can make a screenshot by hitting the "print screen" key on your keyboard.

Thank you. Now how do I get it here? All I know is copy and paste, and that is not working. It is in a rar file.

See the "go advanced" button when you're writing a reply? Click this. On the bottom there is a "manage attachements" button, it opens a popup where you can upload files. Once it is upload, just send your message.

thank you. Now how do I get the screenshot here? It is in a rar file, but when I try copy and paste nothing happens. And yes, I do realize I am a pain in the ass. Sorry :stupid:

maybe this is it. OMG I got it right. I am the smrtest man in the world.

Congratulations! :goodjob:

So... You were talking about *that*.

Well, basically, IGE allows you to setup the terrain in ways that are not supported by civ5. In such cases, civ5 does not really know what to with it and it produces those kind of artifacts. The same can happen with natural wonders sometimes. Of course none of that is documented anywhere. So one day I will have to take time to run many tests and try to figure out which configurations are not supported by civ5, then modify the IGE UI so that it does not allow you to do them (provided it's not too restrictive). All of that in a way comprehensible by the end-user.

Meanwhile, well... You can try to alter your terrain, save and reload, until you finally reach something that works but it's a pain. Less painful that what I would have to do but...

OK. Just wanted to make sure nothing abnormal was happening with my game. Thanks for the help and for the mod.

I just stumbled across this IGE. Downloaded and unzipped it in the right place. clicked to enable it in game and then clicked the next button. Nothing happens, just shows the background artwork indefinitely. am i doing something wrong?

Hello Ronjon.

Looks like the bug Mars83 encountered during the beta, but it was fixed before the final release.
* Do you use the latest version (downloaded from Steam, from the first page of this thread or from the CivFanatics download center)? Rather than a beta I mean.
* Did you test without other mods?
* Do you use a legal version of them game? With G&K or not?

If it's a problem on your own side (wrong IGE version), you know how to fix it. If it's because a mod, please tell me its name. Otherwise I need a lua log, please look at this post (last section).

I have updated the chinese localisation file to v30.

I further rearranged the items matching the position of english text file.

Thank you very much, Yche, I guess I will soon release a new version with the localization updates.

DonQuiche if you mind me asking, how does the "take seat" control work. I've always tried it but with no luck. I am asking becuase i've always wanted to play a historically accurate game on tsl. And i like to hear to potentials of something like that happening

DonQuiche · Aug 19, 2012

Well, the take seat control relies on one specific method in the Civ5 API to do so. Gameplay-wise you're suddenly playing another civilization, see their units and not yours, their cities and not yours, their fog etc.... However it just doesn't work on some computers (a civ5 bug) as you know, and since the pre-G&K patch it never works with barbarians and city-states, on any computer. Also it's limited, there are many things you cannot do like changing cities' construction, although some of them are caused by the original UI and not by hardcoded constrains, and could there fore be modded. Besides, you cannot end the turn while you're taking a seat, you need to switch back to your original civilization. Finally, some of those constrains may not apply if you're taking the seat of a human civ in a hot seat game.

So, no, it's probably not the feature you want. Its main purpose is to let you see the other civ's fog but aside of that it's about nothing more than a toy.

@DonQuiche

compared to the 1000's of pages of the lua i'll take that over guessing in the dark of my units and cities... :lol:

Here I am.

And this, attached, is the v30 translation for Italian language.

Sorry I've been on holiday for 2 weeks

DonQuiche · Aug 20, 2012

Thank you again Error 404! I hope you enjoyed your holidays.

If nobody knew this already, IGE appears to be able to create underwater cities (after saving and reloading!)

DonQuiche · Aug 21, 2012

Oooh, nice, thank you for sharing that.

Craig_Sutter · Aug 21, 2012

Have a bug that resulted from my own mod...

I'm on a pc, G & K and DLCs. Legal copy.

The bug started after I had deleted the Pantheon religion, so I think that is the cause. Here is that portion of the lua file. I had just added the first entry... the others caused no problems previously.

Code:

<Religions>
		[COLOR="Red"]<Delete type="RELIGION_PANTHEON"/>[/COLOR]
		<Delete Type="RELIGION_JUDAISM"/>
		<Delete Type="RELIGION_SHINTO"/>
		<Delete Type="RELIGION_SIKHISM"/>
		<Delete Type="RELIGION_TAOISM"/>
		<Delete Type="RELIGION_TENGRIISM"/>
		<Delete Type="RELIGION_ZOROASTRIANISM"/>
</Religions>

I also changed a belief from follower to enhancer:

Code:

<Beliefs>
		<Update>
			<Set Follower="false" Enhancer="true" />
			<Where Type="BELIEF_PAGODAS"/>
		</Update>
	</Beliefs>

Here's the log file:
