Dolen2's Ethnic Diversity

[Ini orang]

Really? Woooow! Have u found some issue?

I'm testing Chinese tank and artillery models with skins I made myself. For some reason they won't appear in-game. Could you help in testing and diagnosis, please?

We'll need logs from people to see where and when the mod is erroring out during playtime.

Would you be willing to help?

I'm making this primarily with support for Sapiens/Core in mind, but I might be able to rectify the light tank problem or make a VP version.

Hi, do you have the graphical assets (3d + textures) for Dolen's mod anywhere to download? I need files that I can convert to Civ 6 format. Ships and hardware mainly. I am myself modding, working on skin variation for Warfare Expanded.

All I have are the exact same files from the mods you can get from steam and my own skins for Chinese tank and AT gun

Sure thing, but mods once they were built...I think I can't get the raw (source) 3d files? At least the way it works for Civ 6. Once it goes to .blp, I can't retrieve.

I don't touch 6 at all

Unit changes aren't showing up for me. I've tried with both the regular version and "mod" version. What am I missing?

 

[DiggerXLH]

I've nailed down an issue with Russia. It's with metallurgy and the Lancer model. I don't know enough about modding, but using IGE4 to debug, once Russia researches Metallurgy, any user interaction which forces a Russian Lancer to be rendered (IGE change of civ to Russia or map peek, or even turn processing) causes CTD.

Okay, good news is I already set aside all projects and start on reworking the code.
The bad news is it will take a ton of time, since I plan to make it modular.

My plan is you can add any ethnic unit you want. I will make a template for it, so people can easily add their own ethnic unit without opening up the core files. This means it requires manual code writing.
Also make it per-unit, all individual SQL stuff will be on a folder for each unit. So then if you don't want that unit to be loaded to the game, then you can just delete the folder.

Don't worry, don't spare your money because I don't accept any donations. Since this mod is not originally mine, and it's not in any rights for me to take any financial benefits from it.

Hey N.Core! Did you ever get around to figuring out how to optimize ethnic units? XD I'd imagine it happened to be too byzantine and way too much of a hassle for you to figure out.
I've been working on huge 180x112 sized scenarios with multiple civilizations for VP players and I realized the immersion simply wasn't there without ethnic units. The memory issues could perhaps be resolved by reducing unit scale down to single units but maintaining the ethnic unit reskins. Any thoughts on the matter? Or is this mod too fubar to salvage?

Hi all!
First of all thanks to all modelers and creators of this mod
I also faced the CTD problem, so i spent quite some time to figure out what happened.
Easy answer is i didn't use "Dolen2's Ethnic Diversity Unit Pack for Mods for VP (v 1)" part of the mod, because i didn't play with any other major mod except VP and this one. But it turned out that this part is crucial even if you play pure VP, it contains Compatibility folder for VoxPopuli itself with unit models for VP and important additions in .modinfo file. Very unintuitive, but it is what it is. So just turn this part on

There seems to be something wrong with the Lancer. I play as England, and when I attempt to upgrade a Knight, the game crashes instantly.

I tried disabling this mod and could upgrade just fine, so I reckon the problem lies here.

I really like this mod but there are few things that ruin my immersion:

-Spawning lancers would sometimes crash my game

Hello. I really like your mod, but I get constant crashes to my desktop with this mod, with no error messages, every time I get to or close to a new era of gunpowder, when muskets, cannons, etc. appear. I've tried playing with the VP mod, I've tried playing vanilla. Of the mods used, only maps YnAEMP.
I played for Russia, by the way, for some reason they have invisible guns, I also played for Japan, China, Maya. For all such sorties, it is impossible to continue the game, but when you turn off your mod, you can continue and go through the moves where it crashed, but then it is already impossible to continue playing with your mod.

I totally agree. I love VP more than Civ 6 by a long shot. The only reason I am n9t ppaying VP is because I know the current state of ethnic units crashes the game after enlightenment.

Anybody who fixes this would be my hero.

This mod is the only reason I've reinstalled Civ 5. But it's impossible to play after Gunpowder tech. I have the Lancer CTD too, and I tried to continue without the bigger of three mods: it works, but without ethnic graphic... So sad.
Any news about a fix? I don't ask anything more. No upgrade, no new restyling. I hope only for a fix of this version. Thank u all anyway!

Anyone know the reason behind the CTDs mid-game using this mod? I have all the graphics options set as shown in the OP, but it always crashes. I tried commenting out all the lines related to lancers but I still get CTDs no matter what and they disappear when I turn off the mod. The crashes happen on Ethiopia's turn, but before I've had problems with other civs.

I've nailed down an issue with Russia. It's with metallurgy and the Lancer model. I don't know enough about modding, but using IGE4 to debug, once Russia researches Metallurgy, any user interaction which forces a Russian Lancer to be rendered (IGE change of civ to Russia or map peek, or even turn processing) causes CTD.

Some of this posts saved me a lot of time. Problem indeed with Lancer unit in VP, "Dolen2's Ethnic Diversity Unit Pack for VP (v 1)" .modinfo file missing path to Lancer 3D model <File import="1">Units/_Generic/Cuirassier/ca_sw1.gr2</File> But "Dolen2's Ethnic Diversity Unit Pack for Mods for VP (v 1)" .modinfo unintentionally fix this by adding path to the same model in Compatibility to EnlightenmentEra mod.
Ten civilizations uses this model, so sooner or later some of this civs will get to Lancer and game will crash.
So again to fix this just install "Dolen2's Ethnic Diversity Unit Pack for Mods for VP (v 1)" part of the mod.

we reviving this, oh baby oh baby, and yea so far the only issue ive found with this in Vox Populi is landships are invisible and i think light tanks have the wrong models, please go on with this is awesome

All models for new VP Light Tank unit contained in "Dolen2's Ethnic Diversity Unit Pack for Mods for VP (v 1)" part of the mod in Compatibility to VoxPopuli mod, without it all Light Tanks will be invisible. Just install it

I didn't have any bugs or crashes, yer incredibly awesome mod works wonderfully for me ! But, I was wondering if you would consider looking into these things:

American Landship units have no attack sound or muzzle flash animation

Same problem. I changed model of this Landship to same model from VoxPopuli mod, it works fine. I will attach file with fix to this post.

Also i play VoxPopuli 4.15 and it have big changes to tanks, in vanila base tank model were T-34 and Panzer were unique unit, but from some point Panzer became base unit and T-34 now reward for one of the tenets. So all tanks in Ethnic Diversity mod became the same and all T-34 reward tank different. I fixed that by correcting some lines in "1-JEDUnitGraphicConfig.sql" I will attach file with this changes to this post, but maybe it not needed to earlier versions of VP mod.

Thats all for now I also encountered a problem with some missing animations on Mobile SAM model, but didn't dig it yet.

Hm....how familiar are you with modding? You seem to have figured this out easily.

A bit. I have basic knowledge about programing, structure. Made a couple of simple mods for Skyrim long ago.
Previous post about CTDs on Lancer were very helpfull, I wouldn't have figured it out without them.

Ah ok, I needed more help than I thought to continue this mod.

 

[xom94ok]

In my Civ 5 game i reached supercarrier tech and figured out that their models replaced by pikemans. As i understood Vox Populi now contains Advanced Naval Units mod or something similar and it conflicts with Ethnic Diversity. I fixed that, now supercarriers have correct models, but for some reasons not all supercarrier models are used, for example there is Kuznetsov carrier model but it is not used, maybe because of lower quality, maybe because Kuznetsov not nuclear carrier, but Queen Elizabeth also not nuclear but is used, i don't know. For now i keep it as it is, just fixed conflict in files, added supercarriers to base Vox Populi mod and slightly reduced the size of Porte-Avions 2 and Queen Elizabeth carriers to better match the size of other carriers.
This fix needed only if you play at newest versions of Vox Populi, after they merged some mods. This file also contains tank fix.

Please, really, please, someone could explain me what's the problem with this? I play with Vox Populi v.4.16, downloaded a month ago, with Dolen's mod and a few others. I don't know why, I get to the Renaissance and it promptly crashes on specific points. I reload: sometimes it proceeds, sometimes it stops a couple of turns later. I have played at least 10 games like this. I'm exhausted. Sometimes I have modified xml or lua files, but only simple parameters. Nothing much in short. Is the problem, in your opinion, Dolen's mod or Vox Populi? I am really exhausted. Am I just wasting my time? Here my log folder. If someone could tell me what is wrong, I really apreciate it. Thanks.

Do you turned on all 3 parts of Dolen2's Ethnic Diversity, including "Dolen2's Ethnic Diversity Unit Pack for Mods for VP (v 1)"? There is crash because of Lancer unit model, it appears around Renaissance era. Look at this post for more details and solution.

Yes, sure. I turned it on. Was I wrong? So I can't play with Lancers and with Dolen's mod? it's strange because in other games the lancers were building them just fine. Maybe it's just the lancers of some civilizations?

EDIT: I read the post. You said: "Ten civilizations uses this model, so sooner or later some of this civs will get to Lancer and game will crash". Someone knows these ten civ? Can I play avoiding them?

This is my last savegame. Same CTD at turn 120. I have yet to discover Lancers and I don't think other civilizations have discovered them.

By the way, really thanx... Civ 5 is far better than 6.

You need all 3 mods. When i started to play with this mod i turned on only 2, because i thought 3rd needed only for other mods compatibility, but it turned out that for smooth gameplay you always need all 3.
Civilizations that may cause problems if not all parts of the mod are installed: Celts, America, England, Denmark, Sweden, Russia, Spain, Rome, Greece, Portugal.
You can download InGame Editor mod and add lancer unit to any civ mentioned above, if your problem is really in the lancer, then game will crash immediately.

EDIT: I tried to load your saves, but i miss many required mods from your setup. You sure that Dolen's mod is the problem? You tried to turn it off and load your saves? Do you use some other graphical mods? Dolen's mod pretty old, it have some incompatibilities with new versions of Vox Populi (i fixed some of them when i played recently, check supercarrier and tank fix above if you manage to solve your problem with the mod) maybe Dolen's mod have incompatibilities with some other mods
