CIV Gold!

Any news on this?

Hi.

Just posted an update in our project forum.

We've got a build, but are still plugging gaps (strategy text, icons, etc.) Fierabras is battling a flu bug this week, and as usual my time is tight, tight, tight.

I'm spending most of today doing some XML, then banging out with remaining art on the weekend.

Give us a few days, please.

We've got the content and a build that incoporates most of the new material. Just need to do some fills.

just picked up a really strange bug last night. not long into the game it crashed for no apparent reason, just went black and exited. reloading i guessed my scout might be doing it. it took me a couple of attempts (and worldbuilder) but i found that when it came across the polish cultural border that's when it crashed. i removed the polish city and restarted, problem gone. i've no idea what part of it could be causing this.

That sounds like a really bad bug. Do you have a savegame-file by any change? If not, can you at least give some more info so I know in which direction to look?

- which CIV Gold version are we talking about? BTS?
- did you meet the Polish before or was this going to be the first contact?

 

[cthom]

bts version. first contact. i've started a new game since then, but i can easily re-create the circumstances to get a savegame. i'm certain the scout did not meet anything other than the border, so it is likely to be the leader 'hello' screen causing the problem.

this is close to first contact. leader is casimir of poland. you might just see the name appear on the score screen before the game exits.

 

[Fierabras]

I just realized I don't have a version of BTS CIV Gold 3.0 to test it I did recreate the situation in CIV Gold 4.0 and there was no problem there.

You could try to replace the Poland folder with this one from CG 4: http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/107148/Poland.zip and see if the bug remains.

 

[Edward The Big]

is a release imminent?

thanks . i suspect my one is probably corrupt.

 

[Fierabras]

cthom, could you test it for us just to make sure it's ok in 4.0?

edward, it's getting more imminent each day

Just an update - still on the road with the family, returning on Monday.

Details - 3 leaderheads to do (two that I am doing, and one from Amra who was sick, himself, over the past week). A couple of backgrounds to fix and buttons to update.

Next week is looking good.

 

[cthom]

tried the poland replaacement last night. no joy. still first contact crash. i'm wondering if anyone else has this trouble?

 

[Fierabras]

Is it just with Casimir or also with Sobieski? If you could, please test this as well, because I'm a bit lost on what it can be (I suspect something 'graphical' though).

 

[cthom]

it's with sobieski too. i get exception code 0xc0000005 (apparently a memory access violation, if that helps ).

 

[Fierabras]

Then probably it's something in your computer. I have the feeling it has something to do with your graphical card driver and/or settings. I have no idea how to resolve this, but maybe this thread might help you: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=248105

 

[cthom]

aaaaaah!! time for firmware updates!

 

[Thorac]

Probably asked before, but I can't find it.

Are there any docs/lists, etc?

Thanks!

Hi all. I'm back home and ready to bang this out this week.

Documentation has been requested a few times. I really need to see if I can put something together. Amra did some amazing work with his, but I don't think I have the energy to do something so professional given we'll have 100 civs.

I will, however, try to put something nice together - not full city lists, but maybe the capital + first three.

 

[Edward The Big]

100 Civs! This has the potential to be the best thing released on this site...EVER. Congratulations on this achievement.

Will this be like Civ Gold 3.0, where the first release will be considered a Beta until a second release is considered final? I ask because with that many civs, it seems almost impossible to test that and find all the bugs that may be out there.
