Dune Wars: Revival - Villeneuve Inspired Patch Version 5.8

[Blake00]

Very dumb question sorry but where is cool looking the Guild Transport screen I've seen in screenshots? I've started up a game and I just can't find it anywhere. I saw an old forum post saying its a button on the top right area where all the usual advisor buttons are but I can't see it.

Something is wrong with the wind trap
default 1.10 DWR
+2w, +2p, 3d model

Spoiler screen 01 :

VIP 5.4
+1w(+2w?), +2p, +1c(new), no 3d model, worker proposes to build a new wind trap in the same square after the work is completed

I think I've finally got to bottom of these strange disappearing Improvement issues. When you build the Desalinator improvement (which can only be built on Salt) it immediately converts the tile to Graben terrain type and deletes itself. Originally this was done in Python code, but I assume it was moved into CvGameCoreDLL.dll at some point for performance/multiplayer reasons. Sadly I don't have the Dune Wars: Revival DLL source code to confirm. Anyway, it seems that the DLL implementation expects IMPROVEMENT_DESALINATOR to be at a fixed position in CIV4ImprovementInfos.xml, but when I added the new Fremen improvements I did it above IMPROVEMENT_DESALINATOR in the file. This meant that different improvements were getting the Desalinator treatment instead (turning tile to Graben and before deleting themselves); the Fremen Village in 5.3 and the Windtrap in 5.4 behave like this. When I move all the new improvements after IMPROVEMENT_DESALINATOR in the XML file things function as intended.

Anyway, another version is incoming to finally resolve this I hope.

Not a dumb question. The Homeworld screen button only becomes available once you have researched Offworld Trade and built a Landing Stage National Wonder.

The Narcotics Dealing 4 promotion causes a crash when in an enemy city at the beginning of a turn. I was experimenting and narrowed the crash down to this. If I remove the promotion using the editor the game continues. If you are interested I could provide a save game.

Thanks for the crash report. I'll look into it.

I know this was a long time ago but if you still have the save game it would be good to have it.

I cannot recreate this problem. Did you definitely follow the installation instructions properly?

1. Install Dune Wars: Revival 1.10 via the installer or zip file.
2. Copy the DuneWars Revival folder from this zip file over the DuneWars Revival mod folder saying yes to overwriting of files.

You could try running the game as Administrator. It's possible that the location of the mod is protected for some reason.

Yes I did install the game like that. The crash only occurs when I play with the "Classical Era" (not the Seeds, but the End era) start.
Thank you anyway.

Thanks for the info. I'm not sure if later starts actually work in standard Dune Wars: Revival 1.10.

It works but not with any Bene Gesserit leaders.

Huh. Interesting. I'll investigate and see whether there's anything I can do.
