3.5 [CAT-CEG] Tech Tree slider missing

PleasantPeasant · Sep 12, 2013

Hi there, I don't generally post, but I've noticed that when I have these two mods activated and I play a new game, I'm unable to view the tech tree past the ancient era. I can see the beginning of the techs for the Classic era but don't have a visible slider to look towards future techs to unlock. I can select future techs from the quick select, but the advanced tech tree screen does not show the bottom slider.

I don't have any other mods activated and before I installed the latest versions I had deleted my previous copies as well as the cache and log folders.

Thanks!

PleasantPeasant · Sep 13, 2013

The issue is still there after I updated to the newest version 3.5.1 and cleared out my previous versions of the mods. Has anyone else come across this issue or who could help me?

Thanks,

stackpointer · Sep 13, 2013

You don't need to clear your logs folder, just your cache and moduserdata folders. Could you attach your logs? What resolution do you play at?

PleasantPeasant · Sep 14, 2013

Thanks for replying to my problem

I've attached a copy of the LUA file. It happens even before the end of the first turn where I can't seem to navigate the tech tree past the ancient era, but I've saved a game after turn one.

I'm using the standard graphic resolution-1366x768 that I've always used and DirectX 11 if it makes any difference.

-edit;
I should also add that this issue has only begun since the mod was updated to 3.5 and is still occurring at 3.5.2

DivineWind · Sep 14, 2013

I have the same bug. No slider and the header from Classical Era is located in the middle of the tech tree.

CAT & CEG updated to 3.5.2
No other mods running.
Cache, moduserdata, and old Cat/CEG mod deleted before install.
Cache Verified by steam.
DirectX 9 . XP . 1920 x 1080 resolution

It looks like one of the TechTree files aren't loading for some reason and is causing the problem. I can't seem to replicate this issue on my end. Is your game updated to the latest patch?

Thank you for the reply

version 1.0.3.80
Tried starting in Classical era. Tech screen was the same but showed no ancient techs researched, I could not pick a tech, or open the production screen

You Mod worked fine in 3.4.2
I do not have G&K ???

ExpiredReign · Sep 14, 2013

I do not have G&K ???

But you do have BNW?

I was under the impression that BNW included all the relevant parts of G&K to make it workable. Can anyone confirm that?

Yes. Mod works fine with 3.4.2. It also works with CAT (3.5.2) and CEG (3.4.2)

PleasantPeasant · Sep 14, 2013

I just updated to the 3.5.2 versions of the MOD and I'm still having the difficulty in using the tech tree slider. Its just rather strange that it was fine with the 3.4 version of CEG and CAT and not with the more recent updates. :dunno:

It's probably because the TechTree.lua files were added in the 3.5 release. Do you own G&Ks too?

I don't currently have G&K Installed (I had uninstalled the game a couple of months ago and can't find the disk for G&K) so I'm just using BNW.

ExpiredReign · Sep 15, 2013

I believe, but am not 100% sure, the TechTree.lua file is still using some code from the G&K version and is throwing a tantrum.

Lines 522 & 523:

Code:

local bShowProgress = false;
thisTechButtonInstance.TechButton:SetToolTipString( GetHelpTextForTech(tech.ID, bShowProgress) );

instead of the BNW version:

Code:

thisTechButtonInstance.TechButton:SetToolTipString( GetHelpTextForTech(tech.ID) );

There are minimal differences between the two versions, G&K & BNW, but this chunk does fall within the scope of the error.

Perhaps someone with a bit more experience coding could check?

stackpointer · Sep 15, 2013

Good catch.

The function:

Code:

function GetHelpTextForTech( iTechID )

is located in TechHelpInclude.lua.

Hi ,

First of all thank you for this mod.
I have this an issue where the tech slider does not show in the technology list.
Also the tech window(the one on the left side which has Science/Economic etc Advisors) does not show any technologies when i reach the medieval+ era.
Mods : AI and Enchanced gameplay , nothing else.Tried reinstalling ,tried installing Civ5+G&K too.Didn't work.Tried to change my
resolution / Interface options to pretty much every available option.Didn't work.
Using the latest version downloaded from communitas wikia.

I'm not good at coding so I cant solve this on my own.I've searched all the forums but I did not find any fix.

offtopic:I am also getting science spikes randomly

I can't replicate the problem so I can't test if this works. Try changing the following code in CAT\Interface\Bugfixes\TechTree.lua at line 523:

From:

PHP:

		--modchange
		local bShowProgress = false;
		thisTechButtonInstance.TechButton:SetToolTipString( GetHelpTextForTech(tech.ID, bShowProgress) );

To:

PHP:

		--modchange
		--local bShowProgress = false;
		thisTechButtonInstance.TechButton:SetToolTipString( GetHelpTextForTech(tech.ID) );
