AND2 and SVN Bug Reports - A New Dawn 2 ONLY

[Afforess]

I don't know, maybe it's a display thing like in your own city screen the production bar does not get updated when you change the first item in the production queue (it shows the correct item if you change a worked tile or exit and reenter the city screen)

I've seen this behavior too. I will look into it.

 

[Delekhan]

I just updated to the latest revision using the launcher, and all of the unit flags are blank, they're just one color. How do I fix this?

 

[dbkblk]

:S Could you check or uncheck "Enable modern flags" in the options and tell me if it does anything ?

 

[Delekhan]

Already did. The flags are still blank. I also cleared my cache.

I am trying to re-install the mod entirely now.

 

[Delekhan]

I'm pretty disappointed, it looks like the update messed up my saved game.

There should definitely be an option to restore the mod to its pre-update state in case something like this happens, or at least to have previous versions be available for download.

 

[dbkblk]

Is the mod installed in My Documents ? Could you check if the mod folder have full autorizations ? About your savegame, does it crashes at load time ?

@Afforess: Could have a look on the fix in CvPlayer I have applied in r907 ? I had a problem with a savegame, which disappeared when I've switched language but I strictly don't understand how it could be related.

 

[Delekhan]

It doesn't crash. The textures for the flags are all gone, most of them are just solid yellow. I've stopped playing in case the update broke anything else.

That is probably the last time I'll be using the update feature on the launcher.

 

[dbkblk]

Noyyau had problems due to non-autorized folders, that means the updater cannot fully write all files (and SVN won't either). Could you check if you have full autorization recursively on the mod folder ?

EDIT: Flags are contained here http://civ.afforess.com/repo/Assets/rom.fpk and defined here http://civ.afforess.com/repo/Assets/XML/Art/CIV4ArtDefines_Civilization.xml

EDIT2: I'll add an option to "recheck" the files without reseting the mod (keep the settings) in the next version of the launcher, that could be handy for your case.

 

[Delekhan]

I've tried pretty much everything but the flag artwork is missing from my savegame for all civs. It looks like a few, like Ethiopia, Zulus, and Siam have different (maybe older) flags, but everyone else's is blank.

I updated from Rev 904, and I'm guessing that Rev 907 is causing all of the problems. The savegame isn't finding art files, probably.

Can I please have an installer that reverts my version back to Rev 904 or 906? My savegames are now unplayable due to the art changes in 907.

 

[dbkblk]

This isssue is a bit strange because I removed the flags from the art files so the game choose the flags from the base game instead (when modern flags isn't checked). Your issue means that it can't find the default flags (or the xml art def is missing).
To get a copy of a old version, go to https://sourceforge.net/p/anewdawn/code/904/tarball (and replace 904 with the revision you want).

 

[Delekhan]

Ok I'm downloading it now.

I tried Rev 909 with all of my savegames (different games) and they all have the same problem.

It appears that for savegames, the game is still trying to find the flag art files in their old location, rather than accessing them in their new file.

Maybe include a backup set of art files for that artwork in its original location for the next few versions to make updates savegame compatible?

 

[dbkblk]

But what I don't understand is that if you enable modern flags, it should try to get flags in Modules/Modern_flags/art/. I maybe wrong, but I think I've tested my old saves before to release. I'm re-doing it now.

EDIT: I can confirm it perfectly work with old saves. Can you try to load BTS without the mod and check the flags ?

EDIT2: Could you go in My Games/BTS/Mods/, right click on the mod folder -> Security (tab) -> Modify -> And set "Total control" for "Everyone".

EDIT3: I will change rsync attributes to avoid this kind of disagreements later on.

 

[Delekhan]

I did everything you mentioned. Every savegame has missing flag art. Also I have no idea how to install the 904 version I downloaded from SourceForge.

The launcher would really benefit from an option to roll back to a previous version, especially since versions that introduce new features can sometimes create bugs or break the game (e.g. Dark Ages before Rev 904).

Having a way to roll the game version back to before 907 would be a good start.

 

[dbkblk]

I did everything you mentioned. Every savegame has missing flag art.

That is because it's not linked to the savegames but to the fact the game cannot find the art files.

Also I have no idea how to install the 904 version I downloaded from SourceForge.

That is an archive that could be opened with an archiver like 7zip. It's been a long since I last used that features, but you should find a folder "Trunk" and there will be the folder inside.

The launcher would really benefit from an option to roll back to a previous version, especially since versions that introduce new features can sometimes create bugs or break the game (e.g. Dark Ages before Rev 904).

I understand but it would need an larger infrastructure or to rework the update system. I'll talk to Afforess, but I don't think we can provide more than N-1 version.
Before this system, we were using SVN to update through the launcher, but it requires 2 times the space for the mod, this is much less efficient and has many flaws (like modified files not or weirdly updated). Here, the system try to make a perfect copy of the repository, which in your case, or when it can't write in a folder, might also produces some problems.

As much as I can, I try to not release revision that does not work
If you took the rom.fpk from the repo and replaced it in game, I don't understand what happens here.

 

[szpako1]

Hi, i can't play because game crashes randomly. I attached all logs. Please help.

 

[dbkblk]

@spazko: Thank you for the report. I'll look at your logs. Can you tell me in which language do you play ?

 

[szpako1]

I use English. Maybe i can provide you more information, tell me what you need.
