I just had a game where the Reformation event never occured, I also have a vague memory of this happening once before as well. I'm speculating that the Dutch are the cause: If no catholic civs discover printing press before they spawn, they settle Amsterdam and spread protestantism there, making...

Something curious I've noticed since a while back (might have been as far back as SVN versions after 1.2): Have AI civs become much more aggressive in taking independent cities? It seems as if they don't care much for political maps when choosing which independent cities to take. In a recent...

This is very confusing... I've tried to reproduce the crashes reported by the people in the RFCEurope forum in the latest week or so, but haven't been able to get it to crash. I'm almost starting to suspect that I've contaminated my environment somehow. Maybe I should restart my debugging in a...

I did some brief debugging of this issue today. I don't know whether this information is useful or not, but here goes: It appears as if the crashes consistently (small sample size, beware!) happen in CvLandscapeInfo::getHeightMap. This is pretty odd, for a number of reasons: This method is...

Over the last week I've created an HTML+SVG checklist for which civilizations one has completed. It is mainly intended for personal use (no in-page comparison between different players), but the URL it creates can easily be shared. Developed/tested on Firefox 10, but should hopefully work in...

Hmm, if Victory.py was changed since 933 it hasn't been committed, just updated to 937 without any modifications to it (e.g, svn diff had the same output before and after). Oh well, attached in any case.

Since this thread seems to be more regularly checked for fixes I'll use this post to point the maintainers' attention towards a bug (and fix!) for the Spanish. Clicky After all, 4 UHV:s for one civilization seems a bit much :)

While playing against a protestant France, I noticed that the old Spanish UHV (Conquer protestant cities) can still be triggered. Attached patch should correct this. Also included are some slight comment/whitespace changes.

Hmm, my guess is that when Wine found two folders named XML ("XML" and "xml") it didn't bother to search for files after the first match. But in general I agree, RFCE[++] is very Linux/Wine-friendly.

No, a reupload would probably be overrated in this case, it'll only blow up on a case-sensitive filesystem anyways. Thanks for the diff tip! Now, to browsing! Mea culpa, it appears I cannot reproduce the error any longer. My apologies.

The final Dutch UHV condition is irrevocably marked as failed whenever you're not in the lead, and is thus unachievable (unless you succeed the first turn?).

Some comments on the ZIP archive: The 'xml' directory is in lower case, while RFCEurope user upper case. A redundant backup of BBAI_Game_Options_GlobalDefines.xml is included. The source files in CvGameCoreDLL.rar appear to use \n for line endings as opposed to \r\n in SVN. Doing a 'diff'...

Great! For clarification, the map I need is the montage of the whole (in-game) world's terrain, the equivalent of the basic backdrop in the vanilla atlas. Internally, the atlas currently converts the old GIF maps (e.g. this for America) into an overlay. Not pulling these out from the...

With proper source materials I could probably have a separate binary for that up in the not so distant future. What I'd need is: An in-game map of the world A map of civilization spawn areas The tuple for city names is quite different from vanilla RFC, but the ability to see the...

That's a somewhat condescending attitude... Slicing up an existing partition can be a daunting task, even for a techie. Then there's the cost of buying another OS... And for what it's worth, I play Civ IV and RFC exclusively under Linux. Runs like a charm. On a more constructive note, has...
