A New Dawn Bug Reports and Feedback

How can I if I can't get into the World Builder?

Catch-22 Matthew!

How can I if I can't get into the World Builder?

Then the crash is probably related to the no-name civilization. If the game can't draw the civilization's artwork, it crashes.

Then the crash is probably related to the no-name civilization. If the game can't draw the civilization's artwork, it crashes.

So the game literally raped and killed itself... It is so biased against me, right when I thought I had a working game, it CTD's... And I barely play this game either.
EDIT: Well I say farewell to playing Civ for another month or two, I'll have a word with Glider1 and Jdog5000 about Civ caps for BarbCivs and I'll be on my merry way back to laboring over ATOM.

 

[Supercheese]

...I'll have a word with Glider1 and Jdog5000 about Civ caps for BarbCivs...

If by "Civ caps for BarbCivs", you mean "Max number of civs allowed in the game", then I'm pretty sure this option is already in place.

Look in Revolution.ini in the Rise of Mankind default directory (not under /Assets).
It has the following:

[BarbarianCiv]

...

 ------------- Technical settings -------------
[B][U]
; Max civs - This component won't add new civs with this number already in game (-1 for DLL limit)
MaxCivs = -1[/U][/B]

; Change odds of barb city turning into a minor civ
FormMinorModifier = 1.00

; Minimum population needed for a barb city to settle, default 2
MinPopulation = 4

; Minimum number of contacts (with any and full civs) to settle, default 2 on both
MinContacts = 0
MinFullContacts = 0

; Base odds of Military style buildup
BaseMilitaryOdds = 0.50

; Former barbarians get all techs known by this fraction of players
BarbTechFrac = 0.65

; Reduce tech given to former barbarians alone on a continent (larger means they're more behind)
; Does not apply when NewWorldPolicy is 0
NewWorldReduction = 0.12
NewWorldErasBehind = 1

; Number of bonus techs that builder type barbs get
BuilderBonusTechs = 3

; A militaristic barb civ will declare war on the first civ it meets within this window of turns
MilitaryWindow = 35

; Max Dist between capitals for barb civ to consider immeadiate declaration of war (must also be on same continent)
WarCloseDist = 21

; Affects number of (non-defense) military units given to barbs
; RevDCM default is 1.0, RoM default 0.33
MilitaryStrength = 0.33

...

Notice the portion in Bold & Underline. I believe that may well be what you are looking for!

Yea, it could help for now, but it will get annoying, having to count how many civs there are in the list every time I want to start a game.... I'd rather get the makers of RevDCM to have the python/dll properly check if there are remaining civs instead of if there are remaining leaders.

Look in the civilopedia for civilizations, you will see two blank spots at the top. I assume someone has (either me or Zappara, I have yet to figure out who...) accidentally created 2 civilizations with no leaders or anything. RevDCM is working perfectly.

 

[Afforess]

Okay Civ Fuehrer, I found the cause of the 2 empty civilizations. It was generalstaff's unit's fault, he had CIVILIZATION_DUTCH, which is really the Netherlands, and ABYSSINIANS was spelled wrong. I've fixed them both for the next release.

 

[Galacticat42]

Well now I look like an idiot and an ass since I posted this at RevDCM's bug thread. So then why can't I get into the world builder? Even though I may have a 'huge' world that shouldn't stop WB since I have a 4gb vista 64 w/ dual core...

Am I ever grateful I had megacivpack installed! I'm into early Industrial Era (yeah, many, many turns past the turn that crashed me in another game) and no CTDs . I'm now saving like crazy every time I conquer a city or make a significant decision because of potential MAFs that are unsolvable but work-around-able.

I went right ahead and corrected the errors and guess what? It is savegame compatible! My savegame did not crash. So you can easily release it as a patch because you are going to do beta before a next official release right?

I don't think it is. Did you correct all 6 errors? It was those 2 errors, but they were duplicated in 3 different files. Double check.

In Modular Civic Units Folder...
In Guerrillas folder...
In Imperial Guard folder...

Yeah, three folders .

Not "a dumb user" as you described them in another thread :snicker:.

I get this error, dont know if anyone put this here yet or not, if so sorry.

Okay Dexy, I ran an AI autoplay, and got the save for you. I checked, it's the same crash as Os79, and some previous one's I've seen. To load the save, get RoM 2.81 full, and install AND over it. Do not change any of the checkboxes for components in AND, I left it to a completely DEFAULT install. The Save is running in AI Autoplay, so you may want to stop it right away.

You will need to use my source code and create a debug dll. I assume you understand how to do all that.

OK, good job. I'll get on it tonight

 

[little_cyclone]

Found a CTD.. Occurs during the AI's turn after hitting enter. Unsure what the cause is tho.. I originally thought it had something to do with other Civ's Cavalry clashing with Guerilla's I have rampaging through the countryside (as it always seemed to CTD after an AI induced battle involving the two) but after multiple loads and replays of this save (including deleting all Guerilla units at one point) I don't believe thats the source

I wasn't referring to anyone specifically; everyone has had the experience of being the dumb user, that's why I didn't name names.

That's what happens when you remove my dll, but not my python.

Good luck.

Error 2:

CIV IV:Beyond the Sword:Civ4BeyondTheSword.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x05e895f0" referenced memory at "0x00000140". The memory could not be "read"
Click on OK to terminate the program.

Loading will pop up the Civ loader. But after a while error 1 shows up.
The loader continues to load and suddently pops up a next 2nd error.
Then the program terminates.

Rise of Mankind worked before but was a bit slow. I read about the perfomance increase from this mod so i gave this a try.
I pointed the installer to the "C:\Documents and Settings\Rob\Mijn documenten\My Games\Beyond the Sword\MODS\Rise of Mankind" folder in wich it installed.

Yeah i bet thats its then, i tried a debug dll.

I believe this is your problem. Path should be here:
C:\Program Files \Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Rise of Mankind

If C is you Main HD and where CIV IV is installed.

IIRC every time someone has posted they installed RoM or AND to the My Document path they have problems.

I install all MODS into doc&set.
The people of the BUFFY and Sevopedia mod told me to never ever use program files.

Why do you think this mod needs to be installed in program files instead of my documents?
I doubt this will make any difference...but i will try
