[Beyond the Sword] History In The Making

[Hyronymus]

I believe logging is off by default. Firaxis assumes the game works properly .

LOL dont most developers haha

Yes, even Grave .

No offense Grave, I make stuff for games too.

wow thanks everyone ill be posting the error log now...though the game doesnt crash out...i just lose my gui and such. Thanks much Drew and Hyr and Grave...appreciate so much...playing Civ takes my mind off....other matters. I can ask..wht else did you see wrong...and any idea how I could have turned it off?

All I added was the "disable caching" option. This forces the program to read all the files afresh every time it starts up. Sometimes you can get old stuff left behind, when adding new versions, which possibly might cause problems. I know it has done for a few in the past. Absolutely won't do any harm anyway

Just looked at your error log, it seems to be Bug Mod related (I think the HiTM interface is controlled by Bug Mod, not sure though, this is the first time I've looked at Civ or Civ code in weeks). Hopefully Grave can help / Via Bug Mod creators...

 

[Cross Cowboy]

Thanks so much Drew

 

[DrewBledsoe]

Thanks so much Drew

Cowboy, just thought of a quick "fix", that should hopefully help you carry on with that game.

Start a new game of HiTM, play a handful of turns (just hit enter a lot), THEN load your real save game from within that dummy game.

I've used this trick before to get a missing interface back. It's generally worked for me.
Somehow, the interface isn't being saved/loaded properly sometimes with game saves

 

[Cross Cowboy]

Gave it a shot and no go...the gui is still gone. Good idea though Ill have to remember that one. Ill prolly just give the game up and start over...i just hope it doesnt keep happening. Thanks again!

 

[Rimland_Thesis]

Help!!!

Within 20 turns the interface disappears (and no, ctrl + I doesn't work or shift + I).

Also, when I enter a city, the esc. command does not let me exit the city to view the map as normal.

This does not happen with Star Trek mod or any other mod that came with Civ 4 only HitM & Thomas' War.

I have some strange occurence with the gui I should say. quick pick icons for units down the bar , when units are stacked on same tile started to show two or one instead of 15 or whatever number of units I have. I cannot chose particular one.However save ,quit game and reload seems to solve that problem for few turns in a row. Is there a fix for it?

 

[zoidberg76]

I do have the gui problems too. Don´t know what´s causing them. Months ago there was the same problem with this mod. This was when the GP bar should show some icon for the great general, but there was none. So the gui hung up. the problem was solved, when the "bowed arm" was used as icon for the GG in the GP bar.
Don´t know if its the GP bar again, couldn´t get it. Once, I had a python popup saxing something about the GPutil, but this was long before the game hung up finally.

Hope you can fix it. I love this mod and have to liberate one of my cities from the vikings. But I can´t now....

.... however my game is playable all the time. I can move that stack and play further. It doesn't hang on me but is so damn inconvenient. After restart of BTS I can [play for quite few if not tens of turns without GUI problem appearance.

Ok, I'm in the wrong forum for this question I suspect but I cannot find the History in the Making Forum.
I have never seen anything like this before...
I was playing as Shaka til about 2965 BC, and then the game just sent me to a parallel universe and I was Ragnar???? My game totally disappeared. When I go back into the saves, it just eventually takes me back to the alternate universe. What gives? Has anybody else experienced this w/ HitM 3.0? I would like to know what the deal is, because it is a cool mod.

Welcome too. What you experience is caused by the Assimilation mod and the high-low challenge. If you read the release notes (see first post in this topic) then you'll find the answer I hope.

Same problem that has plagued me off and on...will be playing along then bam...everything is gone...you can still play..but it bites big time. Waiting on word from Grave if he can figure anything out. Not sure why this is happening now as it has never happened before. Would be interesting though to see a poll of Vista vs XP and see who has more problems....not that either could cause any

This sound BUG Mod related. Try adjusting some of the BUG Mod options... see what happens.

Just a guess... but it looks like there is something wrong with the Great Person tracker thingy in BUG Mod. Is a Great Person about to be born in your game when the interface goes blank?

Try posting your log file in the bug reporting thread in the BUG Mod sub-forum. Just explain that this is happening with BUG Mod v3.6

 

[Cross Cowboy]

UGH this is prolly simple for others, but I cant seem to find the area for the BUG Mod. Ive done searches for BUG(which is prolly my fist mistake) and nothing so far...think you could post the link real quick...again sorry to be a goof.

 

[Fr8monkey]

I have looked but cant seem to find it; but with an armory you get a free promotion. What promotion do you gt exactly?

 

[Cross Cowboy]

I thought armories gave you free upgrades on all units built in that city...so that way when you upgrade the unit...no cost...

@ Hector Achilles: Start a custom game, but as you set up the game scroll down the list of available options until you find Assimilation and High to Low Challenge. Make sure they are both disabled (unchecked) then your game should play as normal, you just won't have Assimilation Mod in the game. This was the only way I could get v 3.0 to work for me.
