Sure i tried, same outcome... i am cursed to not play this dune in multiplayer
That BugOptions - Cannot locate setttings folder warning is also singleplayer problem :O
Sorry this is a mistake on my part. If you locate the file Mods\Dune Wars\Assets\Python\Contrib\CvModName.py the two lines:
Code:
modName = "Dune Wars_fused_1"
displayName = "Dune Wars_fused_1"Should have "Dune Wars" instead of "Dune Wars_fused_1". I changed this while I was making the new version and forgot to change it back. If you edit this and restart the game you should no longer have the BUG setting problem.
I'll correct the download version so it doesn't have this issue.

Thanks man ! i am on it in a moment
I've done some testing on MP which you can read about in this thread on the subforum. There is an OOS happening when you buy units from the homeworld screen but aside from that it looks seems stable.
Hi all again, i haven't played this great mod for a long time and was trying to update it. This has been my results:
There're some proofs in this link:
Skydrive PhotoAlbum
UPDATE:
Tryed changing languages in the options menu, texts works for every language except Spanish and Finish
- Tryed to install 1.9 final and then 1.9.1.2 patch: There are some error messages while parsing xml files and after that the game loads without texts in the menus
- Tryed to install 1.9.1b (which i found somewhere) then 1.9.1.2: No errors but still no texts on menus
- Tryed just with 1.9 final: No errors but also no texts in menus

I have seen this behavior before, but it is hard to catch. Suppose there are 1000 topics in the text xml file for English, and 1000 for French, but only 999 for Spanish. One is missing in Spanish. Even one missing is enough to cause this behavior for all the topics in the game.
As a workaround, you may need to play in English. Since DW has no Spanish translation text, this will not change the game very much.
The solution is fairly painful. Somewhere among the many hundreds of topics, one has lost its Spanish variant. I had avoided this problem by copying all the languages from English with a script. But, that is not done any longer and also we have a French translation. So it will require some manual search to find this bug.
By the way, would you be interested in some Spanish translation for the Dune Wars text?

Did you check every file in xml/text?

@Nordus: Thanks for the icons - i'll include in the next release.
@Tzenchor, davidlallen: Perhaps this is a consequence of RevDCM adding the Finnish tags everywhere and Dune Wars not having these. If we had a program to remove all the Finnish tags we could see if that resolves the issue.

Yes, I opened every xml file in the mod on Notepad++ and searched for <English> and then for <Spanish> and the stated there were the same amounts of tags
But that should only affect finnish, it's more probable that there are some mistakes in the spanish lines like malformed elements between brackets ( [something] ) or special chars ( &#xxx; ).

As I recall, it is easy to reproduce this problem once it is reported; any player can set the language to Spanish and see if the text is missing altogether. A multi-line "grep" operation (possibly "awk") could remove the finnish tags to see. I agree that seems unlikely. If the syntax of the xml were wrong, I "hope" the game xml parser would already catch that.
Another thing I remember from that is if i change the language to spanish or finnish, then change it to english, french, german or italian and last you try to change again the language the spanish and finnish options disappears. Note that to effectively changing the language adhoc you have to open the "load mod" menu and then hit back.
Update: Away from that, can be done anything with the desert warfare promotion? It just states that it gives +20% bonus attack strength four times and also with defense without saying where do you receive that bonus

ok, for some reason I've installed your game and the patch, and when I boot it up, I got a lot of error of info incorrection on tech, like Belovence, mentat logic, and others, when I boot up the map, I only get one error about mentat logic, and the UI disappear at game start twice, I think the download is screwed.
Edit: Yep, the download is busted, I've downloaded and install the game and patch again, and got that error once more about the incorrect tag's on Belevolance, Mentat Logic, Spice Ocean, Spice Coast, and many other locations. I can't even open the option menu too.

I had the same problem, download and install this version Dune Wars 1-9-1b, tell it to unistall the previous version.
Then install the most recent patch for now it is 1.9.1.12
Optionally you may install the music patch now (I recommend it but it is not needed).
Run the game, but beware that if you have the game on spanish or finnish you won't have nearly all the texts. If this is your case you'll have to run the Beyond the Sword expansion without mods, go to advanced>options and change your game's language to english, french, german or italian as you are more comfortable.

I noticed this too. The issue exists in the 1.9 version. We should see if it also happened in DW 1.8 - quite possibly it was OK in that version since we were still using the text file solution david mentioned.
1.9.1 is a full version not a patch for 1.9 so you need to install 1.9.1 then patch 1.9.1.2. I know this is a bit confusing so I'm going to release a 2.0 version soon so that we're back to the more standard pattern.

When I was playing Freman, I've noticed that my Crys fighter unit never upgrades or become obsolute, which I kinda find annoying. I've also noticed that I still see some things that I could never built because I am not an Ixian and carry their machinery, so I wish there was an Option to where I will not see anything that I cannot built, I don't see Ixian mech because I am freman, not Ixian, I can't build those gladiator's because I don't have that particular thing.
I wish all religious type units also put into their own catagory and will not be upgraded from a regular standard unit.

Hi,
I have this issue when installing yesterday the release+patch.
I checked the file mentioned earlier but the values seem ok.
