Bug Reports and Technical Issues

Is teleporting units a bug ?
Up until now I considered it a feature to protect some spots from barbarians
(it occurs on several occasions)

 

[soul-breathing]

I don't know whether it a bug or not, but why some plots in Korean Peninsula not the Core of Korean Civ? 3 plots east of Seoul.

Units around Afrosayib (spelling?) at spawn are also teleported to capital. Must be the eject mechanic. Is it different for barb cities vs independent?

 

[Leoreth]

So you have a unit next to the Afrosiyab tile and when the city appears it is teleported to your capital?

 

[ezzlar]

Yes. Correct!

 

[Leoreth]

I don't know if that's the default Civ mechanic, but in any case I think the unit should simply be pushed to a free adjacent tile. I'll add it to my to do list.

After I download the mod it says 'unable to create file\Civ4 Beyond Sword. exe

Create Process failed; code 2

The system cannot find the file specified'

I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do here. I think the issue has been raised before and it was suggested BtS might not be in the Windows Registry. But I have no idea how to fix the problem, so any help would be appreciated.

 

[Leoreth]

Are you using the Steam version? If you go to System Preferences and uninstall software, does Civ4 Beyond the Sword show up?

 

[Crazed Pigeon]

I am using Steam. No, I see Civ IV Warlords and Colonization when I go to uninstall but not BtS.

 

[Leoreth]

That appears to be the problem, your Windows doesn't know about BtS being installed for some reason. Maybe un- and reinstalling would help?

 

[Crazed Pigeon]

Thanks for the help. Will give it a try.

I reinstalled the full 1.14 mod and the 1.14 patch, and I still can't seem to get the Congresses to work. I got one to show up for the end of a global war, but the automatic Congresses that used to happen in 1.13 every 15 turns or so are no longer happening (as America, it was a good way to seize New Orleans without war). I ran a few test games to 1850 thinking maybe I wasn't giving it enough time, but there should be at least one automatic Congress by 1850, no?

For reference, this is also on Marathon speed and on the 1700 AD scenario.

 

[Leoreth]

Yeah, should be. Could you upload the Assets/Python/Congresses.py file (you might have to zip it or rename it to txt)?

 

[Crazed Pigeon]

Ok, so I've uninstalled and reinstalled BtS and now it does show up in apps where it didn't before. So far so good. But instead of the old error message I now get 'Mods\RFC Dawn of Civilization is an invalid mod directory, ignoring'

 

[Leoreth]

Can you try the steps described here?

 

[Crazed Pigeon]

I already did. Still doesn't work.

 

[Leoreth]

I'll do some more research.

Here is the Congresses file. I converted it to .txt

Thanks for all the help Leoreth. I've got it working. I think it was saving in the wrong place but I'm not sure ...
