Error after adding a unit

FinlandGamer · Mar 10, 2012

After i added a new unit to BTS 3.19 mod, the game won't start. Loader gets all the way to "init XML (uncached)", then it stops and Windows 7 gives me "Civilization IV Has Stopped Working."

Base Game works fine, it's only this mod. I've removed the new unit, but the problem persist.

BTS creates 4 .log's, (Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\Logs)
init.log

resmgr.log, but it's empty.

and xml.log

Spoiler :

Any idea what's the problem?

The_J · Mar 10, 2012

The problem shouldn't persist if everything is back to default.

The most likely case: You added the unit in the Units\UnitInfos.xml, but what you put there as ART_DEF_XYZ entry doesn't match what you put into XML\Art\ArtDefines_units.xml.

....and in case you have no idea what I'm talking about, then you should read this tutorial.

FinlandGamer · Mar 11, 2012

I've added 150+ units to my mod, so i am familiar with the process of adding units.
And i wonder could i have accidently removed a reference to a certain .xml file, that is causing the error.

I've attached XML files of my files, if someone wants to take a look.

Padjur · Mar 11, 2012

This is odd, simply adding a unit does not normally create a crash like this. Did you do anything else prior to the crash? or was it working, then added unit, then it crashed?
2.)Which files did you alter prior to the crash? was it just unitinfos, unitclassinfos, artdefines_unit?
3.)why is CIV4UnitSchema.xml in the units folder, have altered anything in it?
4.) What unit did you add, and where in the unitinfos.xml at the beginning, end or near some similar units (to help me narrow my search).

FinlandGamer · Mar 11, 2012

1. Game worked perfectly before adding T-62.

2. CIV4UnitInfos.xml, CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml, CIV4GameText_Objects_BTS.xml, CIV4ArtDefines_Unit.xml

3. CIV4UnitSchema.xml was used for Dale's Combat Mod v1.9, but i've removed it about a month ago. I've seem to forgot to delede that file. I've added many units after deleting DCM, and they all have worked.

4. I copied Modern Armor's entry, and edited it for the T-62 (But i removed entries out of all edited .xml's, when the problem started.) I pasted the modified Modern Armor entry under the original entry.

I created a new mod, and added T-62 there, game started up all fine. So it's not the model.

The crash is caused by SpecialUnitInfos.xml,

Code:

 <SpecialUnitInfo>
			<Type>SPECIALUNIT_FOOTSOLDIER</Type>
			<Description>Marines, Paratroopers, Infantry, Artillery and AT Infantry</Description>
			<bValid>1</bValid>
                        <bCityLoad>0</bCityLoad>
                        <CarrierUnitAIs/>
			<ProductionTraits/>
		</SpecialUnitInfo>

When this code is removed it goes through to XML load error SPECIALUNIT_FOOTSOLDIER not found but the crash to desktop is caused by the code above.

FinlandGamer · Mar 13, 2012

I removed that code from SpecialUnitInfos.xml, and i got XML load error "SPECIALUNIT_FOOTSOLDIER not found", but i still crashed to desktop.

I also deleted CIV4UnitSchema.xml, but the crash remains.

platyping · Mar 13, 2012

Means you still have units with SPECIALUNIT_FOOTSOLDIER still in UnitInfos.xml

Ah yes, it still crashes to desktop if SPECIALUNIT_FOOTSOLDIER is removed from unitinfos.xml, Played around with it a bit more today and the xml files are in a bad way.
There's no quick fix that I can see.
I'd say UnitInfos.xml is corrupted, (probably caused by the first crash)
I would replace it with the backup (or if no backup redo it) and try to get just the UnitInfos.xml UnitClassInfos.xml, ArtDefines_Unit.xml to load, and add the rest later.

My last backup is about seventy units ago, and i've already started the mod from scatch. For a while i've wanted to rebuild the mod with Advanced Diplomacy. This time i'll make more regular backups.

But well, thanks for trying.
