Bug Reporting

[Balderstrom]

BULL is an as yet unreleased BU(G Mod D)LL, it can only be obtained from the sourceforge SVN currently. It adds a number of interface features as per here DLL Features

I'm curious as to what the BUG Map Scripts option is?

Sourceforge doesn't seem to have much information on what actually is in BUG these days.

I'm curious as to what the BUG Map Scripts option is?

When you install BUG, you have the option to install several community map scripts: SmartMap, Tectonics, Planet Generator, Random Maps, Full of Resources, etc.

Sourceforge doesn't seem to have much information on what actually is in BUG these days.

Other than the wiki? I agree we need some sort of high-level introduction of the main features, but the whole help file is on there.

 

[Balderstrom]

Oh right, I had clicked on Features Which is 90% Incomplete heheh: It details the Advanced Score Board. Yeah Wiki is good thanks

 

[EmperorFool]

Yes, that was going to be a page that highlighted the main features with screenshots that Ruff was going to build. I did the Advanced Scoreboard, but none of the other stuff materialized (poke poke).

 

[Balderstrom]

I'd like to point out, that this page: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/civ4bug/index.php?title=Main_Page
seems to have the most accessible information regarding BUG, and this page:
http://civ4bug.sourceforge.net/
doesn't seem to have any link or way to get to the mediawiki...

# â&#8225;§<color=102,229,255,255>W</color> - You are at war or have a peace treaty with the civ.

Each "letter" option in the .ini has that piece of text in it. Granted it's a comment, but its kinda odd.

Also when opening the file to edit, Metapad noted:

Some number of solitary carriage returns were detected and removed.
[ OK ]

I put the hover text before each setting, but in this case it's a little overkill. I doubt I'll do anything about it unless it's causing a problem though.

Also when opening the file to edit, Metapad noted:

Yeah, I can't figure out why the INI parser class is doing that. I looked at the code, and it uses Python's os.eoline setting. I can't figure out how it could possibly use \r some places and \r\n in others.

I just started a new game with BUG (latest SVN build) and BtS patch 3.19 and got a really weird gold counter after founding my first city:

On the second turn I got a huge load of gold and my scout got obviously so many experience points that I could fully upgrade him:



I started a standard BtS game without BUG to cross-check if my install is faulty and had no problems. Anyone having a similar problem?

 

[Balderstrom]

Not similiar, but I had a huge problem getting BUG to work w/ Varietas Delecat. After a day of screwing around w/ CIV - I thought perhaps my re-install (and uninstall and reinstall and...) was f'd and my OS may have some issues. So in the process of making a few slipstream Win2K & WinXP disks and will try again shortly.

Hmm, I made CvGameUtils modular, and during my work on it I had this happen, but I thought I fixed it before committing. I'll take a look.

 

[Balderstrom]

Hmm I was getting a bunch of those, using BUG from the SVN - especially the 'None' and 'NoneType'...

 

[EmperorFool]

I believe I have solved the various problems with GameUtils now. If you update SVN you should be able to play again. Sorry for the nasty surprise.

BTW, modders take note of the changelog as I changed a couple things that will require your attention if you've used some of the more esoteric features of BUG's core (linked options and BugPath).

Thanks. Everything works as expected.

I found another bug. The buttons at the Wonders tab of the Info Screen show up at all other tabs of the Info Screen once you open this tab. See here:

oh right - I had forgotten about needing to fix that.

Thanks.

Now if my outrageously priced AGP graphics card would arrive I could test it!

Not that I don't *believe you* mind you...

 

[Nishdog]

I'm not sure if it's BUG, 3.19, or if it's just me, but I am not getting news feeds on my screen anymore. I can still click Alt-Tab to get info.

I am currently running BUG 3.6 with the 3.19 patch and also Better AI. I believe I merged Better AI properly with BUG.

Any thoughts?
