DLL - Various Mod Components

Unless it's reproducible from a saved game there is probably very little I can do to track it down.

Both CivUP and GEM do things with the Lua API objects that can cause re-load issues, which is why they disable the load game functionality from the top-right menu and force you back to the main screen (or at least they did, I no longer use them, so couldn't say for sure) so it's possible that there is an interaction there.

All the testing I did trying to narrow down the cause and then the source of incompatibility was done from fresh games from the main menu or a restart of civ. I can recreate it for you in a save easy enough, but there'll be a mess of mods attached. I can zip my mod folder and attach that too.

Start with the save game, I can probably find most of the mods
 
Not seeing it.

Disable all mods
Clear logs
Clear cache
Verify game files
Install Civ V Unofficial Patch (GnK v2.6 Beta) (v 1)
Install G&K Enhanced Mod (v1.14 Beta) (v 1)
DLL - Various Mod Components (GK) (v 11)
Install City-State Diplomacy Mod (CSD) (v 35)
Enable CivUP for CSD
Start game and enable major mods in order above
Enable only minor mods needed to load save
Load save, view city
Error in lua.log
Disable Basic Tip Help in Options
City view is OK, no +2mil happy

BUT there is a bug in CivUP/GEM in the CityView.lua/InfoTooltipInclude.lua code, in that the former uses YieldTypes.YIELD_HAPPINESS_CITY and YieldTypes.YIELD_HAPPINESS_NATIONAL but there are no corresponding entries in the yieldHelp table for these keys, so the lua faults with a runtime error of "bad argument #1 to 'ConvertTextKey' (string expected, got nil)"

Bugs in other people's code are not my problem ;)

Thanks very much for taking a look. It's bizarre, because I've gone through all those steps countless times. Maybe my Civ install is screwed beyond the capacity of "verify game files" to fix it. I'll try reinstalling, start over.
 
Make sure you don't have any doubles of mods eg V10 and V11 of the dll, as the loading code loads ALL files regardless of version number. If that's not the cause ...

It is possible that it's being caused by an interaction with some mod you are using that does not show on the list of mods needed to load the save (ie the mod hasn't been marked as "affects saved games")

Try verifying the game cache (as that basically does what a fresh install does anyway), and then just using the mods listed when you click the "mods" link (below the save details to the right, opposite the DLC one) and not every mod you have installed. It wasn't many, perhaps 6 or 7 others than CivUP, GEM, DLL and CSD. Note that IGE does not affect saved games so that is one you don't need to load.

I went through all the above steps again, using only the mods needed to load that save from earlier, and started a new game. Verify game files did download a few Mb. When I start, and build the barracks, all seems fine. Then I save, quit to main menu, and reload, and it's back - major happiness from the specialist. I'm including the new save. If you don't see it after reloading a couple of times, then I'm lost. I don't know where it could be coming from. Make sure you check the specialist slot specifically though.

I now can't even get the saved game to load properly (see screenshot). However, I do know that my DLL mod does absolutely nothing to the TopPanel.lua file, so this must be an issue between the other mods, or an interaction between how CivUP/GEM alters the core Lua objects (bad idea IMHO) and the DLL. In either case I stand zero chance of locating the issue - sorry about that.
 
I am trying to use this mod at the same time as "Ability to Raze all Cities G&K" mod, but it seems both can't be used together, maybe because they both contain a "CvGameCore_Expansion1.dll" file?

Is there a (easy) way for me to make them work together?

thanks for your mods, by the way.

There is no way (short of merging the two code bases together and recompiling your own dll) to play with two (or more) mods that both contain a DLL
 
V12 now on my download site (with all modified source code). There are also several new mods up there for Tunnels, Paratrooper Enhancements, Steampunk Airships, etc

Available options are below ... I should probably remove the word "minor" from the description!

Added some missing Game Events, most are in V12, a few will be added to V13 (IsAbleToDeclareWar and three related plus CitySoldBuilding)

Bold = new events, bold italics = new events, code from Gedemon's RED dll

Yellow = TestAll, Blue = TestAny, Orange = GetValue, Green = Notify, Red = Very inefficient TestAll (which I really do not recommend enabling!)

Quickly looking at it, you get a lua error at "player.GetCityByID(cityID)" as the . should be a :
 
Did you see that in fire tuner? Because I see nothing in fire tuner. As for the bug itself, that's why I need fire tuner. Until I get used to things. Using a : instead of a . is a stupid language choice to start with *sigh*. This is the first lua code I've ever written. Actually I see my loaded statement in Fire tuner, but nothing after that from the mod.
 
Just by looking at the code, but if you have logging enabled it'll be in lua.log
