Downloaded the patch, 3.01 today.
Can't figure out how to attach a screen print so I will type out the error mesage I keep getting.
On the top middle of the screen I keep getting the following read out....
"bugoptions failed writing ini file mods history in the making\bug main interface.ini"
It says this 6 times on the top portion of the screen.
I can continue to play, but it is annoying seeing this pop up every turn.
If I happen to look into a city the error message will disappear for one turn, but pop up again on the very next turn.
What is going on? Any clue? It did this for 3.0 as well.
I really need to see your log files. Please make sure you read the Bug Reporting post in this thread before posting up a bug!
I got 3.0 to work; but I can't seem to get the Civ colors to change. I like the US dark green and Rome Red. I go to the Global INI in XML and change the colors, start the game and the colors are the same as it was before I changed them... any ideas?
I'm not at my computer that has HiTM at the moment, but you should be able to do this in the CIV4Civilizations.xml file, or what ever it's called. Just find the tag that defines the color of the Civ and change it. I believe Russia is red and the Incans are dark green? Just swap the tags around...
Thanks for defending me Grave, not sure why someone would take a swipe at me for simply saying im having problems. Im stumped too why some do and some dont have problems. I had everything working great and now nothing is right. I have followed your directions to the "T" in putting in the patch and the other 2 files, but everything is crazy in it. Ive dumped the cache too, but something is just not going right. I wonder if the file I DL, got corrupted or what not.
Also, dont think that my problems mean Im against you or your mod! Your mod is the reason Im still playing Civ 4 and im bummed I cant get it to work. Once again, I wonder if this could be a vista issue since some of the folders are a bit different. I do know when I copy over that Assests file, that it breaks my BoTS and I have to re-install it. I have no idea why, but the error gets so bad I have to ctrl alt del shutdown the program to get out of it.
Meh... it's all good in the hood.
Do you have full admin rights to BtS on your computer? Maybe that's the problem. There is no way in HELL that a mod should be able to corrupt your original copy of BtS. The files have absoutely no relation to each other at all.
Just one more reason for me to keep away from Vista!
I have installed the new patch only and things are good so far. Was working on the bug where I cant get unrestricted leaders to work and took a screen of it which is custom1stscreen. Then I just started checking boxes and when I got to No barbarians I noticed that gave me the ability to have unrestricted leaders, even though I dont have that one checked...thats custom2ndscreen. Any ideas why that would be happening?
Also, is there a way to enable mouse scrolling...I could have sworn I saw an option for it somewhere but now I cant find it haha
Another update, when I select the choose religion option, it not only allows me to choose the religion, but also makes me go to war perm with any civs I come across...wow are my wires crossed somewhere or what?!
Ah, I know what's wrong....
You NEED to download the second Interim Fix to correct this. This has to do with Civ4 not liking it when you re-arrange the game options on this screen. You will see that Assimilation, Culturally Linked Starts, Barbarian City Challenge, etc are all mixed into the options? They need to be at the bottom of the lists, otherwise you may check off "No Barbarians" but you will get something different. It's as if the game labels them on thing, but when you check it, it applies to another set of rules instead.
I had to recompile a new DLL for the second Interim Fix. But, I did not change anything with any of the SDK files except for one thing, and that is the order in which the options load in one of the C++ files. In other words, the code in v3.00's DLL and in the Interim Fix are the EXACT same (spare moving one line of code).
So this Interim Fix should solve your issues. It will be included in the next patch anyway, so might as well download it...
