FF 0.43 Bug Thread

[Stalin_Bulldog]

Vista-
No Interface [yea you've heard]
but also, no saving, whenever a save is attempted the message 'Cannot compress game data' comes up. I am using through steam as well, though, so crazy things happen.

It found the install path perfectly though, huzzah!

Another small bug, i've picked up a traveller's cape from a treasure chest. However, another unit that tried to pick it up from the current owner has a pink box over where the cape icon should have been.

Patch B, XP

When I started playing a game as the Scions, I decided that I didn't like the starting position very much and so moved the settler to settle on the second turn. When the event that always happens on the first turn and creates those 2 heroes occurred, the game couldn't figure out where to put them (as I had no cities) and the game promptly crashed.

Sounds like some of the Scions code got mangled; that event never used to trigger until you founded your first city...

I can't reproduce it. I'm not getting Korrina until I settle. And: Two heroes? Who else are you getting?

 

[heisenberg]

Scions seems to work fine for me even if i move my settlers and settle past turn 1. ^^

On a separate note, and off-topic, Tarq could you include in the pedia the mechanics of Awakened generation? (all I know is that it depends on the Random Number Generator )

 

[MagisterCultuum]

I think I was getting Themoch and Alcinus.

It was a Classical Age Start, if that matters.

Oh. So you started the game with Tracking and Knowledge of the Ether, there by causing those events to occur when you had no cities. That makes sense.

 

[Valkrionn]

Ah. Those two only spawn after you have Tracking and KotE, respectively... Since they spawn after you research a certain tech, rather than build a city, the only way to prevent it without a patch is to either play a full game, or settle immediately.

Edit: Damn, MaxAstro beat me to it.

Yeah, I think you guys nailed it. Thanks, MC.

I'd wondered about Advanced Start, but totally forgot "Era" starts. A city-check should be do-able. (Well, heck, it's what Korrina already uses.)

v.43b, WinXp

a)
I can't seem to build barracks playing Amurites.

The pedia even says barracks can't be built by any civiliation - is this intendend ? If yes, how do I build/zpgrade swordsman or chamions now ?


b)
more a graphical issue:
After researching Warfare I am allowed to build a training yard.
The icon to build it shows up thrice in the city screen (instead of once).
I can still just build 1 though (if I click either one, the other 2 are greyed out)

 

[xienwolf]

Just ran a test game as Amurites (actually playing myself!) and I was able to build a Barracks. Didn't play long enough to test Training yards, but they show up fine in the pedia.

You don't have patch B; that was one of the bugs that was fixed in that patch, IIRC.

One on my Austrin Warriors gained experience without combat.

I noticed it after I had built the Exploration Guild, and it was before I even had the tech for Training Yards. There was also another Warrior at the tile that wasn't gaining experience.

Tiny bug, when playing as the scions of patria, I took the canibilize (I'm 90% sure) and all the other promotions were in blue, even though I didn't have enough experience, and when i clicked on them nothing happened, however, when I clicked on a different unit then back the choices were gone, (until i got to the next level), still it's a great mod guys

Precisely how much XP did he get? 0.5 and then stopped, or did it start with a different number or keep going for a while? And I assume they were both in a city?

Did the guy explore a Lair and gain some promotions from it as well recently? Sounds similar to a minor bug in base FfH that we noticed during the last version as well.

Ok, even with patch C this seems to be the pattern. FF 043 crashes if I try to run it from any other folder then 'Fall Further 043' if I create a new folder and copies the whole thing to 'Fall Further 043 INKLJOTNAR2' and changes the shortcutpath - it crashes when I try to start a game. Thusfar 100%.

I wouldn't have noticed a mere .5 experience. He gained enough for a promotion and was still going at 2.6 . It stopped when I he took his first promotion though. I don't think the Warrior had ever seen combat, so it would have started from 0 xp.

 

[hiphopin]

HUGE bug with Korina the Black Lady. After you get the tech to upgrade her, (I think its Feral Bond) when you turn into a haunt your movement points are reset when you turn back to Korina, and when you turn back into a haunt the haunt has 4 movement points again, this can be done indefinitely and you can basically go on forever.

This means if you have a bunch of promotions and cannibalism you can attack everyone in haunt form and kill them in Korina form and then repeat with haunt. Crazily overpowered.

You have to modify CIV4ArtDefeines_Misc.xml to state the name of the mod location. Whatever directory is referenced in that file MUST exist (for the Resource directory). So copy FF and rename the copy will work (as long as you don't try to change anything in your new Resource file and see anything happen from it), but completley removing the FF directory (or flat renaming it) won't work at all, unless you modify the reference

Hrm... keep an eye out for it to happen again. Unfortunately till something can be repeated it is a bugger to fix. But I'll keep my eyes on the XP code for any possible glitches.
