[BtS MOD] Wolfshanze 1850-1920 Enhancement Mod v2.0

[Wolfshanze]

Done and done guys... the save is there... see if the problem happens for you and/or if you can figure out what's going on.

 

[Wodan]

Trying it now....

 

[Refar]

Ok, i will try tomorrow to see what happens

 

[Wodan]

Okay, I can't even load it. Popup in upper right says "Load Failed", and another popup in the middle says "Failure to uncompress the file" or something like that. It CTDs immediately so it only comes up for a split second. I had to restart 3 or 4 times just to be able to 'catch' that much.

I have the latest version... are you sure YOU aren't running an advance of the next version Wolf?

Here also: "Load Failed" --> CTD

 

[Wolfshanze]

Dang! Don't tell me I have the infamous corrupted save file (I assume you're all using v2.72).

I spent three days on that game, and I always make my "big move" in the Industrial age... I had just gotten where I was starting to have a lot of fun!

 

[Arian]

Using 2.72

Hi Wolfshanze, I saw your post about a CTD in the Ethnic CityStyle thread so I thought I would try to help. Unfortunately I couldn't find any problems with the Byzantines. I did, however, find two items in a quick scan of your v2.72 mod that appear to be errors. Perhaps one or both of them could somehow be related to your CTD problem.

In the Civ4BuildingInfos.xml file for "BUILDING_TRAFALGAR_SQUARE", you have the following xml code:

            <Flavors>
                <Flavor>
                    <FlavorType>[COLOR=DarkRed][B]FLAVOR_ECONOMY[/B][/COLOR]</FlavorType>
                    <iFlavor>10</iFlavor>
                </Flavor>
                <Flavor>
                    <FlavorType>FLAVOR_MILITARY</FlavorType>
                    <iFlavor>4</iFlavor>
                </Flavor>                
            </Flavors>

"FLAVOR_ECONOMY" should maybe be "FLAVOR_GOLD"?


In the Civ4CivilizationInfos.xml file under "CIVILIZATION_CELT" you have the following line:

            <ArtStyleType>[COLOR=DarkRed][B]ARTSTYLE_CELT[/B][/COLOR]</ArtStyleType>

"ARTSTYLE_CELT" is not defined in GlobalTypes.xml or listed anywhere in Civ4CityLSystem.xml



I don't normally follow your thread so I apologize if these two items are already known. If they weren't known, then who knows, maybe fixing them will somehow cure your CTD.

 

[Wolfshanze]

Amra... where/how do you guys find such oddities on somebody else's mod?!?!

Well, anyways... thanks... those are two loose-ties that should/will be closed. The Celts weren't in my game (never seem to be oddly-enough)... so I don't think that had anything to do with a crash... Trafalgar Square? Built by the Aztecs about four or five turns before the crash with the Byzantines became engrained. Somehow, I don't see that as being a problem, but who knows... I'm fixing both.

I guess I'll start a new game... AGAIN... this really sucks, cuz I was enjoying the last one and I thought for sure I had a traceable bug problem... but I can't duplicate it, and the save game doesn't seem stable for anyone else. Maybe it was just a corrupted save file, but it's really disappointing. I haven't finished a game with 2.7x yet... would really like to.

Has anybody finished a game with v2.7x yet?

i've gotten thru at least 2 in earlier 2.7x versions. if i get thru my current game without incident, i will have gotten thru my first 2.72 game

Well that's encouraging to know... I've been getting paranoid lately.

 

[Wodan]

Well I'm still on my first game with 2.72 though I've about got it won. Thinking of just quitting and starting anew. I often play with no tech trading / brokering, and I got an isolated island start which was halfway decent size. Meanwhile, all the other 30 civs got on one of two big continents. I got 3 religions, 4 on one of the big continents, and the other big continent got none, believe it or not. I quickly spread Judaism over there, teched Astronomy, watched it spread like wildfire, and ended up with a buttload of cash rolling in from the shrine. Anyway I'm way ahead so not much point in continuing.

Anyway I may take a few turns and give the Babylonians SciMeth as discussed but seems like we're not thinking it may be a corrupted save?

Have you tried going back to a previous autosave and seeing how that goes, Wolf?

Wodan

 

[Wolfshanze]

Have you tried going back to a previous autosave and seeing how that goes, Wolf?

Yeah... they all work fine... and they all CTD the minute the Byzantines get Scientific Method... there's no getting around that in my saved game.

Still... I'm glad to know others are getting all the way through... must have just been some bad luck on my end.

 

[devilgunner]

i have had crashes in v2.72 but it didn't occur to me at the time that it could have anything to do with a specific civ discovering a tech. i saw it was something that i couldn't get around by doing anything differently, so i started a new game. i abandoned another game that involved the byzantines because i was getting ganged up on by all the civs on my continent and had no hope of survival. this was right around the time scientific method could be researched. in my current game, i'm curious to see if the riflemen upgrading to infantry will cause a ctd, as i had problems with this before. i've upgraded 5 so far without any problems, so i'll see how it goes from there.

 

[Wolfshanze]

Well, I'm not sure the Byzantines will always cause problems... it may have just been a fluke in my saved game... I started a new test-game in the WB and messed around with the Byzantines... tried all kinds of tests with them and couldn't get any glitches.

I have had numerous crashes though all the versions. 2.7x seemed to work great and I thought the crashes were over. Then I downloaded 2.72 and played three games so far the first two crashed. The third is in the 1960's and going strong. I'm just trying to finish so I'm playing stupid and have not discovered scientific method yet although I know other civs have. But all my crashes are of a similar nature, always the same turn in that particular game, but a different turn in a different game. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with my civ's advances because it does not usally crash on a turn I advance. Could it have something to do with the town's and cities graphics updating as a non player civ goes into the industrial era?

 

[Ninja2]

Just to confirm... I also get a ctd when loading your save, Wolf.

Were the Byzantines the first to discover Sci.Meth. in your game?

 

[Refar]

Same here. Crash while loading.

 

[Wolfshanze]

Were the Byzantines the first to discover Sci.Meth. in your game?

Yes, they were. Does that mean anything?

In my previous game, somebody else (other then me) reached Scientific Method first and it had no ill-effect on the game.
