Bug Reporting

[EmperorFool]

I've already fixed this, but I have other changes in CvMainInterface that aren't ready yet. If I get a chance, I can commit just that change.

Nah, it's not a game breaker... let's just leave it for the next release.

Hello.
I don't know if this has already been reported, but I've just installed the latest version (2.30) of the BUG mod, and reminders (alt-M) no longer work. Any help?

See posts 582 and 586 earlier in this thread to fix this problem. You need to replace two files with the contents posted there.

Or you can get the latest version from SVN to fix the problem and get more new stuff.

Ouch... Code lines are like Chinese to my eyes. I'd rather use the other solution. Which brings another question, that I am a bit embarrassed to ask... What is SVN?

 

[EmperorFool]

You just have to replace the two entire files with the contents of those posts. No editing code. Just use Notepad to edit the files.

However, SVN is short for Subversion, and it holds and tracks all of the BUG code and its various versions. There's a handy program for Windows that makes it available in the Windows Explorer pretty easily.

For instructions on setting it up (about 10 minutes from start to "got latest BUG") see the second post in this thread or this newer thread. Note that you do not have to create a SourceForge account -- just leave username and password blank.

I implemented this fix and although the reminders do work now, they are still not recorded in the autolog. I made sure that autolog is enabled but for some reason it is not logging the reminders along with the other stuff anymore.

 

[EmperorFool]

Can you check to make sure you have "Log w. Autolog" checked on the "Alerts" tab of the BUG options screen? If you already do, and logging is indeed taking place for other stuff, I'll check on my end.

 

[Morgawr]

I am pretty sure I did have that checked but will check it again when I get home tomorrow night.

Would it make a difference that I am playing with the "Better BTS AI " dll?

No, BUG doesn't use its own DLL and should work with any DLL that works with BtS.

I played around with the PLE buttons and encountered a strange behavior.
First, select one of the four rightmost buttons and deselect it again. Then, select one of the other buttons to the left and the button you deselected before gets automatically selected again.
It seems that these four buttons can't be deselected properly.

Also, the "Unit Info Tooltip" of PLE seems to be somewhat messed:

This is a visual problem that I'll look into. Technically, one of the four buttons on the left and one of the four on the right must be selected at all times (think radio buttons). That the game allows it to look like you deselect it by clicking it again is erroneous.

When you click that second button, it redraws them all and fixes the display issue on the right.

I'll take a look at the unit info. I haven't noticed that before. What resolution are you playing at? Have you changed the Civ font sizes at all?

Just wanted to mention it because the unit icons can disappear when you select the promotion or upgrade filter although there is no unit that can be promoted or upgraded. When you deselect the filter the icons don't show up again. You actually have to select one of the "Grouping Mode" buttons to do that. That's, imho, rather confusing.

My resolution is 1024x768 and yes, the font size is changed. I use a community translation that does it by default so I guess, the problem with the "Unit Info Tooltip" is probably only related to me.

Yes, this is a legacy of the PLE interface. The right four buttons work just like the left four buttons (mutually exclusive, one must be selected), but the right buttons aren't really all related. They are treated as "grouping" modes, but really only the first two are grouping modes.

The promo and upgrade buttons are actually totally different operational modes. They do act partially like filters in that they show only certain units, but they also add special buttons for upgrading and promoting.

I suppose I could make those two special buttons operate just like the other filter buttons. They would still change modes as they do now, but the buttons would behave just like the filter buttons. I'll play around with it and see what works.

Yes, the font size is changed.

Good, the fix is easy then. Open your "BUG Mod.ini" and play around with the values for these two settings:

# defines the height in pixels of a standard text line. If you have problems that a info pane contains a scrollbar, you may adjust this value. 
# don't touch it unless you're sure what you're doing!!!
# default = 24
[B]Pixel Per Line Type 1 = 24[/B]

# defines the height in pixels of a text line with a "bullet" in front. Those text lines are, for some reason, smaller than a standard text line.
# If you have problems that a info pane contains a scrollbar, you may adjust this value. 
# don't touch it unless you're sure what you're doing!!!
# default = 19
[B]Pixel Per Line Type 2 = 19[/B]

Hi there,

I noticed a couple of typos in the help file (very good documentation, btw). There's absolutely no problem with this, but in case you guys want to make this excellent mod perfect on *all* levels, here's what caught my attention:

In the "Content" Pane:

"Advanced Scoredboard" should read "Advanced Scoreboard"
"Autlog" should read "Autolog"
"Better Espionnage Screen" should read "Better Espionage Screen"

Also, the documentation about the CDA ends with a thanks to "Fixaxis"

Lastly, PLE is not mentioned under "Included mods", and there's no documentation for it (which is a bit odd, since the German documentation at least mentions its presence). PLE is mentioned on the page of "Improved Unit Icons", but I haven't found an explanation of (for example) the unit filters in the documentation. Of course, it's not a problem to figure out their meaning by simply using them, but I'm not sure whether you actually wanted to exclude this part from the documentation, hence I'm mentioning it.

Thanks again for an excellent mod!

 

[EmperorFool]

Thank you, that's very helpful!

PLE was added during this release cycle, and we haven't had time to update the docs with it. The latest version in SVN actually has help text when you hover over the buttons.

I can't get SVN to work. I installed Tortoise and followed the instructions but the URL won't connect to the Server. I also see no place to put my UserName and Password; even though this may not be needed? Might anybody know what I did wrong?



OPTIONS of 'https://civ4bug.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/civ4bug/BUG%20Mod':
could not connect to server (https://civ4bug.svn.sourceforge.net)

After some problems with BAT and 2.17, I went down to just BUG. Am I missing something, or do the options from Ctrl+Alt+O not save? There's no apply button or anything, and when I hit exit, I'm left with the exact same option settings as before. The last modified date on BUG Mod.ini IS being updated, so I'm not sure what's going wrong.

You don't need to enter a username and password; those can only be used when doing "SVN Checkout..." anyway.

Make sure you aren't putting the quotes (') around the URL. The URL you posted without the quotes works for me. It could be the SVN server was down.

I assume you mean BtS 3.17. BAT isn't compatible with 3.17 yet, so you will have problems there. BUG, however, should work. Others have had this options-not-saving problem, but that's very interesting to note that it is changing the last modified date of the file. I had assumed it wasn't writing to disk.

So far, what has worked for others is to uninstall BUG and reinstalling BUG 2.30 (or the latest from SVN). How did you install it (EXE or ZIP), and where (CustomAssets or Mods)? Sorry for the trouble you're having.

For some reason the Sit Rep screen of my military advisor no longer seems to be working - perhaps due to the recent version of Solver's unofficial patch? This is the case with BUG 2.30 and 2.40. Anyone else?
