Crashing and Missing Unit Entry

[Balllistic]

I'm having another problem with my mod that I can't seem to fix. Every time I load it up on Civ 5 and try to play a game with it, it crashes. So, I brought up the logs and removed all the errors I could fix, but its still having the problem.

The problem looks to be located in the xml logs:

[6287.932] Missing Entry for UNIT_BORDER_PATROL

It's missing an entry for my unique unit. Here's the rest of the log:

Can anyone find a problem? I also attached the whole mod to the post if you want to look at it.

Loads fine for me. Ensure that your mod is the only one loaded when testing to rule out conflicts. That error you're seeing in the log is harmless, though if you want to fix it, you'll need a define an entry for the unit's UnitGameplay2DScripts sound.

Here is an example from my Civ's Guild Merchant definitions:

	<!-- Define Unit's selection sounds to remove errors -->
	<UnitGameplay2DScripts>
		<Row>
			<UnitType>UNIT_GUILD_MERCHANT</UnitType>
			<SelectionSound>AS2D_BUILD_UNIT</SelectionSound>
			<FirstSelectionSound>AS2D_BUILD_UNIT</FirstSelectionSound>
		</Row>
	</UnitGameplay2DScripts>

Again, it's not critical (because the game's stock Barbarian Horsemen are also missing this entry) so it won't cause a crash. I also don't know what sound Infantry are set to use, but whatever works, I suppose.

Edit:
More information would be helpful. When are you crashing?

From the looks of it, if you are crashing when entering the Renaissance Era, you will crash because your Civ has no Spy names defined.
Otherwise, you also have no Religion defined, although I'm not sure if this causes a crash.

I imagine you're following Kael's guide, or something. It's a great resource, but unfortunately is heavily outdated because it was created prior to the release of BNW, so at best it serves as a guide rather than a walkthrough because it's missing some of the stuff BNW requires.

 

[Balllistic]

Alright, it seems to be working now. I found out I was starting in the modern era, once I set it back to starting in the ancient era it worked.

 

[DarkScythe]

That just means you were crashing due to the lack of Spy names. You'll need to add those or else you'll crash anytime you hit or exceed the Renaissance era.

Also:

	<Unit_ClassUpgrades>
		<Row>
			<UnitType>UNIT_BORDER_PATROL</UnitType>
			<UnitClassType>UNITCLASS_INFANTRY</UnitClassType>
		</Row>
	</Unit_ClassUpgrades>

and

<GameData>
	<Units>
		<Row>
			<Class>UNITCLASS_INFANTRY</Class>
			<Type>UNIT_BORDER_PATROL</Type>

Will cause something "interesting" behavior at some point.
