Changing the Prerequisite for Rifling

Did you get my PM?

Yes, and I have downloaded your mod.

Working in your full Mod environment, i've got the same Python error.

That error does not come if Modules are not enabled (but then VD art is not there of course).

I'm working on it for the moment but it would help me if you could tell me what changes you made to VD. If you still have the original XML files from VD, I'd like to compare them (I don't want to downlad VD, my connection is far from being optimal and it took me already more than 1 hour to download your mod).

Noticed that CivilizationInfos.xml is a cornerstone (what a surprise!).

It contains the tag UnitArtStyleType that leads to VD since VD has a different type for every Civ.

Out of 32 playable Civs in your Mod, 19 are problematic. If I put back the 19 UnitArtStyleType from BtS, your Mod works fine.

Here is the list of the 19 undelicate Civs...:

Arabia, Aztec, China, France, Germany, Greece, Inca, Japan, Khmer, Korea, Mali, Maya, Mongol, Netherlands, Ottoman, Persia, Portugal, Rome, Zulu.

Since I have no clues what to look for in the file VD_CIV4ArtDefines_Unit.xml which is more than 34,000 lines, I think that I will have to stop here.

Hope that my investigations help somehow.

Please keep me informed as I have already spent quite some time on your mod and it would feel frustrating not knowing what is going on.

broken/wrong dds'es for Atomic and/or Ghazi?
would also make sense with the last python error (add icons to tech panel).

Can you upload the icon dds files for atomic and ghazi?

Thank you but it appears now that they are not part of the problem. I didn't even notice that the Atomic unit was part of Evolution.

I simply deleted the VD module and replaced it with the unmodded one. The problematic civ art was caused by the fact that I forgot to copy one of the .pak files. It works now.

Nevermind then

I'm glad that you found the solution.

At least I might have put you in the right direction...
