BUFFY & HOF Mod Releases

Both of these are in the same Replay folder H:\Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\Replays
and I had to change the autolog save directory from the H: location to the C:\Program files\... location to get it to work.

To make sure I understand correctly, you had the Autolog directory set to the replays folder originally, played the second game (as listed in your post), changed the Autolog directory to the new (C:) folder, and played the first game?

That should definitely not mess up BUFFY or BTS. First, it's BTS that chooses which replays to display on the replay screen--not BUFFY. And the Autolog setting is in one of the BUFFY INI files that BTS doesn't see. I'm not saying this isn't the cause, just that it should absolutely not be the cause.

I'm curious, if you change the Autolog folder back to the H: location, do those old replays show up? That would be ridonkulous. :crazyeye:

No, originally the autolog directory was set at ?default? which because my My Documents folder is on a VPN drive ends up being

H:\Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\Logs\autologs

but it won't save it there... perhaps blocked by a firewall that prevents executable files from saving anything to the VPN.

So I re-routed the autolog to the following directory on the physically attached drive:

C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\BUFFY-3.19.003\Autolog

Now I get autologs in that folder. Hurray!

And the Autolog setting is in one of the BUFFY INI files that BTS doesn't see. I'm not saying this isn't the cause, just that it should absolutely not be the cause.

It could be coincidence. It could be that other things happened in the interim from when I noticed them gone. I may have changed some other advisory displays at the same time in the buffy options... but if you say that shouldn't be the cause then it probably isn't. Most likely a system-specific glitch. Computer voodoo.

I'm curious, if you change the Autolog folder back to the H: location, do those old replays show up? That would be ridonkulous. :crazyeye:
Answer: No. They appear to be gone for good, as far as the game is concerned.

Weird, because if I just doubnle click the replay, the BtS starts (without BUFFY) and I can view the replay, then I see the victory screen with the score, then it kicks me to the hof screen where on the Montezuma game there is missing info blank columns, and it is the only entry (other non-showing entries were deleted irretrievably like I told you) that shows. There are four entries that normally show in my present hof, (you got one of them), and if I click any of them I see the normal hof screen correctly displayed with all four (but not the Montezuma game).

Don't waste any time trying to figure this out... I'm past it. I don't suppose anyone else has seen it occur so it must be my system. :(:mad:
 
Wow, that is truly bizarre. The replay has the mod name embedded in it, so double-clicking on an older one should load BUFFY. Somewhere along the way BTS must have gotten confused, and it probably was just coincidence that you changed the Autolog folder around that time.

Do let us know if it happens again, though, in case there is something going on with BUFFY.
 
Hey I got a problem!

I installed BUFFY-3.19.003
However, the mod itself showed error.
The most strange thing is, the Buffy mod should be correct, and CvGameCoreDLL.dll and the files in FX0 folder should also correct (which I tried copies from others)
Assetschecker v2.2.2 just showed errors...

All I can think of is to remove the mod and reinstall. You might have to reinstall to fix the rest. You could try running windows update first to make sure you have an up-to-date version of .NET.

You can download the missing files from the Assetchecker page. Just below the 2.2 download link.
 
Hi all. I'm still getting a 'save file is protected, ensure assets in the mod folder have not been changed' error/CTD on loading a BOTM with BUFFY from the game menu. This having already gone through all the windows 7 fixes outlined on the HOF site (file permissions, run .exe as admin, run in WinXP SP2 mode). Assets checker shows no errors.

I did have the unofficial 3.19 patch installed previously so I tried removing it then reinstalling BTS and 3.19 to remove it completely but no change.

Are there any other known reasons why the mod could fail on Windows 7 machines?
 
I am sure this is a common issue but I applied step 1 in http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ4/mod.php?show=vista as requested. However, this reverts to the prior settings after each time I attempt it and I still get the normal error saying no submission is possible. There doesn't seem to be any additional ways I can do this. Any advice?

Have you set Civ IV to run as an administrator, this might fix the problem.
 
Motivation:

The Oasis map script seems to assign specific numbered Teams to specific areas of the map.

Team swapping:

How does one change the Player assignment from Team #1 to some other Team. The Human Player seems to be hard coded to Team #1.

Just to be clear, I don't want Team play. I just want to assign the Player Leader to a Team # of my own choice (always just one Player per Team for all Teams).

I thought this was possible in HoF play, but I never actually tried it until today.

Team swapping in Single Player mode not possible, even without BUFFY or HOF Mod:

It seems that the Game without any Mod allows swapping Team # so the player can get any Team # desired in Custom Game, but as soon as the game is started the Team #s are reset to the original, sequential 1, 2, 3, ...

So it seems that the Game itself prevents Team swapping in Single Player mode.

All BUFFY seems to be doing is hiding the Team #s, thus preventing players from trying to do something that the base game doesn't support in Single Player mode anyway.

It appears that the Team # selection is only effectively available in Multiplayer mode.

This also seems to be the case for the current Vanilla Civ IV and HOF mod, except the HOF mod doesn't hide the Team #s.

I was surprised that not even the base game (no Mod) would support a Human Player in other than the Team #1 slot.

Can anyone confirm what I've mentioned above?

Not sure where to look for that in the code. It might not be in the DLL code. In any case, it is probably just as well. A lot of mods assume that the team and player number of one. Not sure they would work correctly if you could change it.

Thanks for your quick response Denniz.

I agree that there's probably no point in trying to change it, since there doesn't seem to be a way to change it even with no Mod running. (I tried both BtS without any mods and Vanilla without any mods and Single user mode simply resets any Team # swapping done.)

Someone on the BUFFY development team, please add a few comments of your own on the subject. Since BUFFY hides the Team # column in the Custom Game window, its obvious that BUFFY development team did deal with Team #s at some level, though it may have been limited to hiding the Team # column.

I think that might be part of the HOF section of BUFFY. I don't remember anything in BUG or BULL that includes this. Probably the section that acts on 'playing as a team is illegal' as part of HOF.
