A New Dawn Bug Reports and Feedback

[CivTbone]

Not a bug, per see, but in the installer, the Modern Corporations should have Aaranda credited as well.

Gonna do some playing tonite, and tweak my mods.

I realize this however I still think something can be worked out. If we leave it as just one building then I would say it should still go until motorized transportation. Mainly because things like cannons also require wheels.

Wheels could be a new "Good" in your future "goods" system to require for chariots, catapults, trebuchets, bombards and cannons.

I do not really like the whole stables replacing business so I am proposing a new building to sit between the end of the wheelwright and the beginning of automobiles. Something like a stagecoach or carriage maker. Some something like this ...

Wheelwright -> Carriage Builder -> Automobile Factory

Wheelwright
Requires: Wheel
Obsolete: Cavalry Tactics

Carriage Builder
Requires: Metallurgy
Obsolete: Armored Vehicles

Automobile Factory
Requires: Motorized Transportation
Obsolete: Skyroads

What do you think? was thinking of working on the transportation mod soon anyways. However my major hold up was the whole "road in a city vicinity" stats (see below).

Sounds fine to me.

Tags? What do you mean? What are "tags".

Also could you make code that allows for bonuses from the type of "road" in your city vicinity? Such as a production or commerce bonus from railroad in a cities vicinity.

Tags are just a short hand way of saying an XML entry. bProvidesFreshWater is an XML tag. Every XML tag has code in the SDK behind it, making it work. If you want extra ones, you need to post a request in the SDK Component Requests thread. That's what that thread is for. Request whatever you want, I'll add it when I can. Just make sure you are clear on what you want.

Sounds fine to me.

Ok So I am working on the Transportation Mod and I was able to override the Wheelwright but not the stable. Mainly because The wheelwright adds info while the stable is taking away info.

Anyways to make my life easier for making this mod coud you make the stable the way it was before and then change the wheelwright to obsolete at "Calvary Tactics" tech.

Then with my Transportation Mod I will add the Carriage Builder to replace the Wheelwright. And to keep it like your idea I will give the Carriage Builder similar stats to what you added to the stable.

This way the stables are not messed with and i can keep to building upgrade path of Wheelwright -> Carriage Builder -> Automobile Factory.

Deal?

Ok I will go do that next.

Sounds reasonable.

Thank you. I shall continue working on the mod assuming those changes will be in place when I submit the finished mod to you.

How soon will you add back in the difficulty message above the scoreboard for Flexible Difficulty?

I'm working on a patch right now that should update to BULL 1.1, RevDCM 2.70, fix a few textual bugs, etc...

A day or two.

Bug Report: Seeing this first time in my whole civ experience some squares in my territory became dimmed out like an unexplored territory. Units which i manually move there disappear and stop counting for expenses. However, next turn they come up for orders but there is only empty circle on screen, but when i move them out that square they reappear again.

Fresh RoM installation + latest AND. i can provide savegame if it would help.

Yes, please do. A New Dawn.log as well please.

 

[Talin2009]

Here they are. Squares appear around Mound City.

Made printscreen just in case - to see how it looks like

p.s. damn, didnt let me attach log for some reason heh. i zipped it.

 

[Afforess]

Can you either tell me what components or install type used? I can't load the save without it.

 

[Talin2009]

included in first post. sorry, didnt notice forum omitted it when uploading

p.s. btw, offtopic here, but you could notice from this savegame how overpowered crossbowmen are beelined for machinery, then in 1 turn upgraded 20 archers i saved and totally destroyed Huayna Capac who was leading before.

Not sure if this is a bug or if it's been covered somewhere as a change, but Basketweaver's Hut becomes obsolete with pottery in the 1.6 where it didn't in the betas... I tend to go for pottery first then weaving, and it's been my experience that the BWH sticks around a long time.

I'm wagering that Afforess decided to take over GeneralStaff's role as modding master of Early Buildings and use his executive privileges to adapt it for better balances . GS DID give Afforess this privilege when he announced his possible stepping down status due to his grandmother's situation few months before.

Yes, but after playing a game, I agree this is WAY to early. I moved it back to Metal Casting.

Heck, no one gave me this privilege, I created it myself; I am the lead designer of A New Dawn; I have executive powers on every feature.

On an unrelated note Os79, I had a better idea for showing your current difficulty level. Now, when you hover over your own civilization's name in the scoreboard, your difficulty level is in yellow at the bottom.

Indeed.

That would be a lot better than the old way because sometimes it is extremely hard for me to see that message due to dark color. Yellow color should hopefully be better and only visible when I hover over my civ's name.

Go for it .

 

[Hydromancerx]

Sounds fine to me.

Good news! Without editing other files my new Transportation Mod buildings work. So all that really needs to be done still on your end is to put the Stable back the way it was.

Here is a preview o the Automobile Factory.

 

[Talin2009]

Since we all go offtopic here may i ask if there are any plans to include advanced religions any time soon?

Looks very well thought out and customizable. I'm making this a 1.70 priority. I will merge most of the new tags (Some of the resource/commerce ones won't be useful, I don't feel like adding more commercetypes, that's a big change).

 

[Afforess]

It purely depends on how much time it takes to implement. Civ5's release puts a whole new spin on things.

How is the progress on the "Goods" mod? Are you still going to do that? This seems like it would be high priority due to the unlimited "Goods" it would allow.

Also what about Flammability?
