Problems with CvUnitInfo->getDomain() function

[LoneTraveller]

Hi,

I'm trying to merge the "Merged Mod 1.11" with AsioAsioAsio's WW2 mod for BTS and I'm encountering a problem.

The combined mod gets to the main screen fine. I can select which scenario to play, which country, etc. The problem arrives when I launch the game. I can that the progress bar loads all the way and (sometimes) I see the map with units and the city names being loaded.

At that point the game crashes. I have opened the dump file and the call stack states that the last function called is getDomain() in the class CvUnitInfo.

The call stack is the following :

Spoiler :

CvUnitInfo::getDomainType()
CvPlayerAI::AI_calculateUnitAIViability()
CvCityAI::AI_AI_chooseProduction()

I have added CvString variable representing the "Type" in UnitClassInfo and all accessor functions required to read the field from the XML file. Then I typed in a list of fprintf commands in the function in order to figure out at which unit is causing the problem. After letting the mod run for 45 minutes and writing a 450MB text file I saw that the unit causing the error is an "UnitClass_early_artillery" (for which no custom unit exists) and I could see in the file that many other units of this class were called upon before.

So I then decided to comment out that unit in the xml. This had no effect has the game crashes anyways.

Now I don't know what to do. It seems that for a unit somewhere the domain seems to have been misread but not for other units of the same class.

Has anybody ever encountered this type of thing ?

If so I'd like to know how you managed to fix it.

Thank you for your time

civchecker may be useful for finding problems in the xml. I am not sure it will catch domains specifically, but you might give it a try.

Could the problem be caused by something in Python? Python is used to load the map and GetDomainType is accessible from Python.
