(CONFIRMED) Final Frontier buildings inaccessible (savegame attached)

[Teg_Navanis]

I encountered a strange bug in Final Frontier: after conquering another star system on my quest to domination, I was suddenly unable to build any buildings in any of my other star systems. If this is supposed to be a feature, I can find no explanation.

Savegame attached. To reproduce the bug, simply attack "Freedom" with the Battleships south of it.

I have the exact same problem!

This save is shortly after conquering an enemy city. I don't have a save from before the problem unfortunately.

Just to clarify, the save you've attached is before the problem occurs?

Thanks, by the way, for providing a save. I've been hearing a few reports of this but needed a "before save" in order to figure out what's going on.

Yep, it's just before. If you load the game, a stack of battleships will be selected. Use them to conquer "Freedom" - this triggers the bug.

Thanks, I should be able to figure out what's going in and provide a fix pretty quickly.

For those interested, I've come up with a fix for this problem. Simply extract the attached .ZIP into "Civ 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Final Frontier\Assets\XML\Buildings" directory and save over the file that's already in there. If you have an ongoing game then you'll need to load a save from before the problem developed. If you try playing from a save where the bug is already present then you still won't be able to continue.

To Anybody,

What was changed in the XML file that fixed this issue? I don't have a prev version with an older effected file.

thanks - Joseph
