[BtS] CivFusion

[Kalimakhus]

I got a repeated CTD. I incrementally disabled different comps of DCM. First Stack Attack was off. I then disabled active deffence, then both Opportunity Fire and Archer Bombard. I managed to continue with the game when I disabled the last two. My guess is that it is the Opportunity Fire comp.

I am attaching a save it should CTD once you hit the end turn button. I am providing this so if someone got the time to verify that it is reproducible. Also, if anyone got a similar CTD (when attacking or being attacked), you may try disabling parts of DCM to get your game going. So far I can almost be certain that the sieg units bombardment comp has no issues. It may be unfortunate to have to go without the other DCM components but CivFusion has got a lot besides DCM.

Does this have Varietas Delectat in it?

You can try going into the file and putting the path in russian. It is unicode aware so it should work. If this works you would provide a fix for all other players who have Russian windows. Otherwise, you can use the windows environment variable pointing to "My Documents" folder. This should always work no matter what language is used.

This is not a problem, I checked and I have similar exceptions with other mods. but they work.
The problem is in revolutions 1.4 where I do get 2 more python exceptions about something wrong in the "module" which remove my interface, and now I don't know, is it with my windows or my game...

hey ripple,

i think you forgot to change one of the spaceship parts,

one of them , cant remmber which, still needs manhaten project as a preqeq,

needs to be changed to NONE, like in dales 1.5.

Python exceptions can prevent the main interface from being rendered. If those exceptions are fixed you will likely get the interface back.

 

[Deon]

The problem in the CvPath.py.
If the game isn't installed in the default folder (i.e. I can't do it due the disck structure) some of the interface isn't loading (it's from alerts mod in revolutions 1.4 I guess).
I tried to place the old cvpath.py in the python folder for the revolutions 1.4, and it works.
Fix it please if you have a time.

Maybe I didn't install correctly, but I did double check....

But yeah, at the start of my game, Manhattan Project shows up (thankfully shadowed out due to require Uranium) in the city build queue...

Newly spawned leaders from Revolutions modcomp don't seem to show their traits in the interface menu.

I'm playing as Churchill, and I've noticed the Charismatic trait isn't kicking in when a unit got to Level 3. I went into WB to try and test by altering that unit. Found that the Level 4/5 threshold is still 17 XP not 13 XP like it is usually with a CHM leader, and the Lvl 5/6 Threshold is still 26 and not 20...I additionally found in the process of testing that out that the Promotions tab on editing units is gone too (Not sure if that last bit is intended on the part of the author).

Also (although I'm sure this is known) Unit stats are kinda broken....

Can someone please correct me if I'm wrong, pig ignorant or just plain stupid?

I'll look into this

This is very strange, I didn't modify this at all. Will look into it...

Also (although I'm sure this is known) Unit stats are kinda broken....

I don't use them much, can you elaborate???

[Deon]

Before you check traits from revolutions modcomp/promotions problem, try to fix the cvpath.py as you already promised, maybe there's the key. Also if you have a possibility (as I did for my mod) you can install the game in a non-default folder, this way you'll notice all the concerning errors by yourself.
Thank you for your work.


[EDIT]

I solved the problem. The installation in the russian windows makes different registry path.
Also it's the problem in the complete edition.

Why not to use

def _getInstallDir():
    civ4Dir = os.getcwd()
    return civ4Dir

This will solve the problem with ANY registry error.

@ Ripple

Unit Stats - Can't get a screenie to you atm, but basically the Unit Stats screen pops up, correctly displays the basic info of the unit at the top (including turns in service etc), and promo's but unit history, damage stats, pretty much all other data is just not there.

Spoiler :

 

[Uncle Anton]

Hi Guys... Also found that Austrian Musketmen seem to have an issue with the skin/model...

Basically they're pink, and seem to be stuck in a "Star-Jump" pose.

Spoiler :

 

[Deon]

I'll check the .dds and animations paths for them, they seem to be broken.

Cheers mate!

I'd check this stuff myself but I know next to nothing about Python or even XML....

 

[Deon]

It's not XML or Python. Looks like it's a problem from Diversica, I'm gonna check the pure mod to make sure is the problem there.

 

[ripple01]

It's a unit I added on my own, not from Varietas Delectat. I'll take a look at it...

Dang... Tactical seems pretty powerful. Putting a Free Promo and 25% less XP needed? When coupled with Protective, that's gonna make your mre Hawkish players (and AI) pretty tough to deal with....

Anyway - More bug stuff...

I saw the buttons for Fighter and Tank lookin kinda pinkish in Pedia. Thought it was some kinda graphical omission....? Buh-Bow! Wrong... Looks like a bit of a deal-breaker. Not only is the button in Civ blank/pink, so's the button in the city build menu, and trying to build a fighter gave me a CTD. Gotta assume any attempts to build a Tank will do the same.

Each leader has been assigned a unique combination of traits, so what I am eventually aiming to do is have a unique unit for each leader so I can give a leader with a strong trait combination a weaker UU. I may even try to do this with UB's as well.

Regarding the button crash, which civ were you playing? I'll try to help you fix this so you can finish your game.

[Brave Sir Robin]

not being able to play these ,but
Financial - +25% Gold
Double Production Speed of Bank
&
Scientific - +25% Research, Double Production Speed of Laboratory
the 25 % boost to gold and research would at first glance would seen to be overpowered esp if a civ has both traits
just my thoughts

Hi Ripple.

Wow! One-on-One Support... I feel so pampered!! j/k

Was playing the English with Churchill.... Any advice you can give would be great! If it's xml I should be able to edit any code you point out, but I'll be buggered if I know enough about it to know where to look...
