Bug Reports and Technical Issues

[Leoreth]

Oh, thanks for pointing that out. I usually have resource bubbles off, so that would explain the difference.

 

[Leoreth]

Yes, that was it. Fix to come shortly.

I didn't have resource icons on when I got the mouseover bug, I will play some games on the newest commit and see if I can trigger it again. This time with a save!

Please show me a save where the AI starts production of a unit that you consider excessive next turn. That is the best way of investigating this.

I almost forgot about this. Currently working on it; challenge is selecting one among so many possible turns to share. In other words, the purported effect is apparent for the length of a given civ's game. I'm gonna focus on England though.

Also, corresponding Unit AI transport seems to be stuck, similar to the prior problem with Settlers/Colonists that you were able to fix. By stuck I mean a transport will sit in port with MISSIONAI_PICKUP for an undetermined duration (NOTE: this seems to affect the Islander civs more than continentals; while Spain, or even more so the Netherlands, for example will be seen actively ferrying units across the oceans, England's Irish Conquerors get stuck in Dublin with empty transports in port). I'm also working on confirming a suspicion that under some conditions an AI civ will stop receiving Colonists when AFAIK they should still be, and in either case England doesn't get their first for quite some time following discovery of Exploration. The spawned English Galleons also frequently change roles to ASSAULT_SEA, stranding the spawned Settler and precluding further spawns (if I understand the system, iColonistsAlreadyGiven is active until Settler is consumed?) . Actually, this is probably what's happening rather than the Colonists now spawning at all as stated above. What's unclear is what threshold for ASSAULT_SEA transports England AI wants to meet before permitting a SETTLER_SEA, but it's quite a few, though as youre certainly aware this preference is subject to conditions, mainly war/peace. In games where England is at war when Colonist spawns occur (and this is most games because Reformation and/or Hundred Years Warring), it isnt uncommon for no overseas settlement to occur while the first Settler sits at home indefinitely. In contrast (and sorry to throw another element into this confusion) AI Spain tends to overfavor SETTLER_SEA Galleons, whatever that be worth. Finally, the following might be useful to know: if I only change a Galleon's role to SETTLER_SEA, it will revert to ASSAULT in between turns. If however, I both change role and load a settler and defender, it will retain role and immediately set sail.

In the end I could only reproduce the same one I posted as a screenshot last night. If you start as the Byzantines in the 600 scenario and go into worldbuilder, this error pops up if you mouse over the marble tile in Egypt. This is the only consistent one I found. I think I only found it because I've been looking at civs in worldbuilder to see their new name maps.

Addendum:
Save 1:1670s. England has 7 Galleons, all ASSAULT_SEA, all idle, two more in queue. Also Four settlers at home. To confirm, yes they do have city sites marked for settlement.

Save 2: 1701. At 9 Galleons, one finally retains SETTLER_SEA role and embarks settler and defender, both of which were built. No indication that AI ever received Colonist spawns. Also, they're headed for Australia, with area settler values in above 6000. Just for kicks and removed map vision from these tiles and the Galleon returned to post instead of heading to one of the earlier selected sites in the Americas with values between 1000-3500. EDIT: two turns later they started toward one of these sites.

Moving a City in WB founds a new one on target tile instead along with Python error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

As you observe below, I think the dynamic is more that the AI for some reason decides it does not need that many SETTLER_SEA units and converts them to ASSAULT_SEA instead. But I agree that it shouldn't.

Have you updated? This is the error that is supposed to be fixed by "fixed city name encodings". Some city names with non-ASCII characters were accidentally left without unicode encoding, so the game was unable to display them.

I was convinced I had, but apparently not. Sorry for the false alarm.

In World Builder, the "Build City" mode gives infinite python exception pop-ups.

Spoiler python exception :

From what I've tested, currently the Malayan UP works "when there's a water tile within the 3rd ring of the city when the city is founded" instead of requiring different landmasses.

Anyone who's playing 3000 BC starts right now, have you noticed Rome avoiding settling in southern Italy? I've played a few games and haven't seen them found Naples or Syracuse, even when it's completely open. I don't know if this is just a fluke or an actual problem.

If you minimize the game then reopen the active mode will default over to "add unit" & you can close the dialog boxes.

Romans afraid of the Mafia. Seriously tho, I ran a start to investigate and guess what happened?

I'll run a few more keeping an eye on marked City Sites.

Two bugs I encountered in my playthrough as Hittites:

1) Turn 46 I use a Huluganni to attack a militia in Assyria's capital, capturing it, meeting Babylon, then am able to capture the worker due east with that same Huluganni. Kinda like blitz promotion.

2) Turn 80 the Phoenicians have no further birth protection, but DOWing them gives them a huge protection stack...

I pressed ctrl+w the instant the pop-ups disappeared to avoid the infinite loop.

Turns out that's how the BtS rules work, so I am not going to change it.

2) Turn 80 the Phoenicians have no further birth protection, but DOWing them gives them a huge protection stack...

At the time of the save they are still birth protected. Ending the turn ends their birth protection. Then I can declare war on them without any unit spawns.

UsuaLly I'm waitin 2-3 turns, after birth protection ends, and only then DOW

Hey everyone,

Long time no see. Back in April I was on here complaining about how I had trouble downloading the mod. Y'all helped my and I'm very grateful for that.

Now, I want to update to the current version. I did everything Leoreth said to set it up for easy updates. Github spent a while updating my files after I got the name right (I was a little too literal in following the instructions- the first time I renamed it to Dawn of Civilization instead of leaving the dashes between each word and it didn't work). But I boot up the game, which does work, but Bordeaux is still Burdigala, and Cleopatra is still an available leader to Egypt instead of Hatshepsut.

What have I done wrong now?

 

[Leoreth]

What is the method you used to get the mod?
