Noble Zarkon · Jun 8, 2018

Following a lot of hard work we are delighted to announce the launch of the new Buffy 005 mod, this updates BUG and BULL to the latest stable versions and will be the last major update to BUFFY.

If you installed a beta or pre-release version of 005 please note there have been some minor changes to the final version so please delete the old Mod folder, download this version and re-install.

The change logs for the new version are linked below but the main enhancements are:-

All AI attitude modifiers are now shown including those previously hidden.
A better Espionage screen with much more detail.
Integration of the Espionage victory identifier code - no longer need a special version for Culture / Espionage games.

We will continue to accept games played in 003 and 004b until the 24th July as long as they were started before today. (nb: GOTM will continue to use 003 for the next few months).

To celebrate the launch we have 3 new gauntlets starting which will give you a few opportunities to try out the new mod!

Noble Zarkon · Jun 8, 2018

Known Issues

Formatting of various Mapfinder error messages is incorrect.
Python errors when Mapfinder unable to regenerate map.
Incorrect text shown when limit of 3 missionaries reached under Organised Religion - says "Requires Monastery".

We hope to have a 005a version issued towards the end of the year to fix these issues.

Noble Zarkon · Jun 8, 2018

Many thanks to:-

the BUG and BULL teams for their excellent work
@Lemon Merchant for her support and assistance
@Denniz for coding and compiling the DLL
the HOF players who tracked down bugs
and especially to @lymond without whose persistence we would never have got here!

If you have any issues please raise them here in this thread, please ensure you have carried out the recommended actions on the Mod page before posting here.

- Unofficial Patch Updated to release version 1.50

Might be nice to have more detail here. While everything else falls under 'unaltered gameplay' (like interface changes), this mod does alter play.
Not in the major ways some mods purposely change gameplay, but this mod fixes 'bugs'. Put in quotes because it's what the Unofficial Patch team considers a bug. And there's one 'bug' they fixed which BUFFY un-fixes, correct?
There could be other AI behavior changes. Could make for some exciting surprises!

Correct yes! Will look out their patch notes and link them.

trying it out this afternoon. it was crashing on me a lot more than .003, or .004b. I'll keep playing around with it. Anyone else seeing less stability?

Not at all. Actually 005 should be more stable and perform a lot better. They did rewrite the code for PLE (Plot List Enhancements) as it was a major hog in 003. However, you still might want to turn it off like I did in 003.

005 crashes everytime when I start a 2nd game.

Strange - I've not had a crash with any version of Buffy for years.

Can you turn on logging in your ini file and see what is produced?

Code:

; Enable the logging system
LoggingEnabled = 1

; Enable synchronization logging
SynchLog = 0

; Overwrite old network and message logs
OverwriteLogs = 1

; Enable rand event logging
RandLog = 1

; Enable message logging
MessageLog = 1

I've added the Unofficial Patch change log, note I was mistaken - it was a BUG change we reverted.

@NobleZarkon
I will check it tonight

Is that everything changed since the last BUFFY? You listed changes from UP 1.4 to UP 1.5. Was 1.4 in BUFFY 003? Change logs here

Noble Zarkon · Jun 11, 2018

@Lemon Merchant - do you know which version of the UP was in Buffy 003??

WastinTime · Jun 11, 2018

The worker capture 'bug' was introduced in v1.1, so that would mean version 1.0 was in BUFFY 003.

So it was, I got myself a bit confused lol!

Tonny · Jun 11, 2018

@Noble Zarkon
I turned on logging and started BtS.
First I started a new custom game and played for 6 turns. Made a starting save and an ending save. Then I went back to the main menu and started a second custom game. The game crashes when it is initializing.
Where in the log files do I need to look?

Just to be clear, is this something you do manually or are you using the mod options to auto-generate the saves

I'm doing this manually. I've set the autosaves at each turn that go the autosaves folder.
