Bug Reporting

[Terkhen]

Ah. BAT doesn't play nice with Multiplayer for some reason. It's hit or miss at best, and BAT 3.0 adds the concept of unit graphic switching by using a clumsy unit kill function. That might be what is messing things up. I'm working on a fix for BAT 4 that doesn't use the Python kill function, but it's a staggering amount of work because all of BAT's Unit XML has to be changed to accommodate it.

Good to know that you are working on it. Let me know if I can help with the C++ side of the debugging

I'm curious, what is the change required to XML?

I have the same issue. i did manage to make the window larger and put a scroll on it, but the numbers didnt follow.

Can you show the lines that you changed?

There are a number of new tags that I have exposed that allows a modder to specify alternate art for certain things. I almost have the work done in the DLL, and I made it optional in the XML schema (mostly, BAT is a special case). I'm going to release it as a tutorial/modcomp when I'm finished.

The thing is, at the very least, I have to alter most of the Unit XML for the female units, and there are now female units for every unit in the game, including UU's. BAT's female code is not optional, so the XML must accommodate.

Can you show the lines that you changed?

I wish I could, but I changed it back coz it didnt work completely (the numbers didnt follow) so I'm back at square 1. It was a vertical scroller, and I think if I could just get the table to show 2 (or 3) lines it would work. But I cant remember what I did
(I'm not very strong with python, and it was mostly a trial and error with a lot of errors attempt)

I had the crash in single player for the first time. It happened while I was scrolling the screen, as it does in multiplayer.

I posted a new bug for EventSigns in its forum. Basically, when a second event is fired for the same time we need to merge the descriptions and bonuses.

 

[Bloodstone]

Is this a bug? (Screenie attached) The city doesn't show up, but you can open it normally and everything seems to be there, just the animation on the main screen is missing. I believe I'm running BAT 3.0. I tried advancing a couple of turns to see if it would show up but nothing changed.

Unit Spamming in BAT?

Good morning all. I've been playing Civ IV for a long while now, and the excellent information found in the War Academy has helped me greatly in getting better at the game. I'm now working on winning at the Warlord level in BTS and trying out mods. I recently updated BTS to 3.19 and am trying out BUG & BULL - don't know how I ever lived without those before! I got BAT also and am trying that out, but noticed one oddity that I haven't seen mentioned in my searches here ('course, I may have missed it since I'm new to posting here & searched with the term 'unit spam'). I'd appreciate any help in resolving this possible bug...

This is what I've seen happen in my first game with BAT - when I tell a city to build a unit like a Warrior, Archer, etc. it immediately starts work on another unit of the same type without even asking what else I'd like to build, nor have I told it to build another by queuing it. I have to go into the City Screen and change the build to something else to stop the spamming. Any ideas on why this is happening? I have the latest BTS, BUG, BULL & BAT. Thanks!

 

[ruff_hi]

There is an option in the BUG options to spam units. Ctrl-Alt-O and search the option tabs for that option - uncheck it. I cannot remember exactly what it is called.

Ah - thanks for the info. Guess I'll go & dig into all the options available in BUG, etc. Still great useful Mods! One thing I'd like to suggest though - the help files for those would be much more useful with screenshots indicating what does what, etc. I had to dig quite a bit here just to figure out what the heck the colored circles were when I left-clicked on a city name, for example. Thanks again for all your & fellow modders' hard work on these!

 

[EmperorFool]

There are two options on the City Screen tab called "Build Units Forever": one for military units and another for civilian units.

It's a bug, unfortunately. See post # 92, here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=395437&page=5

Thank you for pointing me to the fix your Lemoness, greatly appreciated. I can now return to my favorite addiction.

Maybe this is already been reported earlier, I really don't know but anyway.
My mod runs under BUG 4.2 and I've added a couple of projects. When accessing the project overview screen I get a Python-error. Here's a screenie:

Here the piece of code that causes the error, I think:

			color = -1
			ePlayerColor = gc.getPlayer(iPlayer).getPlayerColor() ## causes error?
			if ePlayerColor != -1:
				playerColor = gc.getPlayerColorInfo(ePlayerColor)
				if playerColor:
					color = playerColor.getColorTypePrimary()

Spoiler PythonErr.log :

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "CvScreensInterface", line 914, in handleInput

File "CvInfoScreen", line 3083, in handleInput

File "CvInfoScreen", line 3185, in handleInput_Wonders

File "CvInfoScreen", line 2535, in drawWondersList_BUG

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'getPlayerColor'
ERR: Python function handleInput failed, module CvScreensInterface

Any idea what's wrong?

*** EDIT ***
This error occurs when somebody builds a project who you haven't met yet.
The error disappears when you meet that civ
I made some stone age projects in my mod like Lascaux Cave Paintings and Nazca Lines and most of the time they get built by civs I haven't met causing this error. Hope you find this info helpful and find a solution.

 

[EmperorFool]

Change that line you have marked to these:

pBuilderPlayer = gc.getPlayer(iPlayer)
ePlayerColor = -1
if pBuilderPlayer:
    ePlayerColor = pBuilderPlayer.getPlayerColor()

That should solve the problem in your mod until we can get a fix out.

Thank you EmperorFool, the code worked like a charm

Great. Judging by the PLE icons at the bottom of the screen, it looks like you're using an older version of BUG. You're probably missing out on some nice features and bug fixes. I know it's not easy to upgrade BUG if you've got Python changes yourself, but you might want to think about it.

The mod uses BUG 4.2

I'm using the most recent revision 2245 from BUG SVN along with revision 220 from BULL SVN. I never noticed this before, but as I've started modding now I very often check the Python log files ;D . Strangely BUG doesn't initialize fully:

It has nothing to do with me fiddling around with stuff as a fresh BUG install from the SVN behaves identically. I'm running it in Custom Assets.

This message always appears. It's not really an error, though it does certainly sound like one. I think it's telling you that the game hasn't finished loading, though I dont quite understand the purpose of adding that message to the log.
