This is a great mod. I think that now it's at its best, I don't see how it may be better ;)

I've tested it with my savegames and I haven't noticed a problem. Can anyone confirm that this happens and maybe post a savegame?

I've tested it too, with 5savegames fom different games and on 2 PCs, and it works without any problem ;)

Thanks for sharing your work.
 
When I install this along with your military advisor it causes my to have no interface. Works fine when I install military advisor by itself. How do I blend the two into one? Or even better, combine this with the Customizable Domestic Advisor???

Just putting both yours together would be a huge help

I use them together and with "Customizable Domestic Advisor" too, and I don't have any problem at all :confused:
These 3 mods don't share any file, so it's difficult that they conflict together.
Are you sure that the conflict isn't between "Enhanced Foreign Advisor" and some other mod, for example "PlotListEnhancements" one? (I have PLE, so I had to edit CIV4ArtDefines_Interface.xml, 'cause both mods include a modified version of this file).
 
I bet that's what it is. Yes I use PLE. I just did a merge of the two text files and hopefully it should work okay.

edit: Merged the two, and still getting the same error.... Tried merging from PLE to EFA, then EFA to PLE and got the same results. It's saying the files are identical, but still having no interface.

Here is my merged file, it works without any problem for me; if you wish to try using it....

Note: I had to change the .xml extension to a fake .txt extension to be able to upload the file. So be sure to change it back to .xml after downloading it.
 
Miigwech! It worked beautifully! Have to remember to put this into my own zipped copies of both these mods... if you don't mind that is.

This has to be the best interface mod yet, thanks

Are you shure? Look at the Exotic Foreign Advisor by Requies ;)
It's at the same time the "father" and the "son" of this one, and it has all the features of this one plus a couple of other very useful features.

So does that mean that' it is its own grandpa?! I love that song...

Anyway, The Exotic Foreign advisor really is nice with the new features. Wouldn't it be nice if all the modders in the community would get together and start working on group projects. There are 3 or 4 modders on the advisors... if everyone would pull their resources together, can you imagine what would happen?!
 
the exotic foreign advisor refuses to work for me.. i always get one screen that displays no menus then have to reload the game to restore. incidentally I have the same problem with the requies special domestic advisor too (just came to download the customizable one i saw... see how that is.)

I find this particular mod very clean, shows all i really need to know and maintains the impression of the original idea very well.

Alerum - gotta agree with you on the good things that could come with co-operation, though seeing these forums lots of that already going on anyway. and this way we get individual flavours to suit all pallettes

Do you also use the PlotListEnhancements mod? If so, you have to use the merged CIV4ArtDefines_Interface.xml file instead of those that came with these 2 mods. If this is the case, you'll find it here:

Somehow I like that idea. I spend a lot of hours the last weeks to improve my version of the Modified Special Domestic Advisor. I had (and still have) a lot of good ideas. Then the customizable advisor from Taelis has been released and I found quite a lot of my ideas already realized. Although I had choose a different way for implementing, its a bit frustrating to see that someone already implemented things I spend a lot of time for. Don't misunderstand me, its not frustrating because he was faster, its frustrating because its has been done twice now! I could have spend much more time with playing the game, instead of modding it.
Just imagine we would do some brainstorming toghether with the community, build some project teams and start working the things out. The would result in less mods, with a high acceptance and a better quality.
What do you think guys?

Well, it's hard to fix some bug you don't know about :lol:.

The Special Domestic Advisor has not been updated yet to be compliant with 1.52 yet which is why that wouldn't work.

I don't know what would break the Exotic Foreign Advisor that wouldn't break this one (probably another mod but even then, it's highly unlikely).

As to the rework, I totally understand 12monkeys' feeling. It's spending all that time working on a mod and then seeing someone do it better making most of your work a waste of time which is frustrating. Perhaps, we SHOULD start a thread where we have modders talking about what they're working on.... Of course, it would have been even better if Firaxis had implemented good advisors in the FIRST place so that we wouldn't have to mod it at all :p.

Anyways, if you've downloaded the v0.93 of the Exotic Foreign Advisor and you're still running into the same bug, I'd appreciate if you could tell me exactly what happens (and perhaps post some error log files). We modders can only do so much. Reading minds, unfortunately, isn't one of them :lol:.

Req
 
Isn't a bad idea... And I don't know about other people, but I have about 9 or 10 ideas I've put into Notepad of things I want to modify but just don't have the ability to. Would be a good place for suggestions like that as well.
 
Your enhanced foreign advisor mod looks great, but with me, no buttons show up along the bottom. Do you have any way to fix this? Thanks.
 
Sorry if this is a little

[offtopic]

If this mod is compatible with 1.61, is Supreme Overlord's military advisor mod compatible as well?
