Patch Z soon?

 

[Ahwaric]

Hopefully as a "major" patch - with art pak-ed and as a base for further ones (to make them smaller)

 

[wuntoothrie]

couple of things ...

I don't know if it's intended but HN units don't give me any combat odds when attacking unit's of any civ with the barbarian trait ... been like this for quite a while but I thought I might mention it ...

personal suggestion ... I think Nightwatch and Shadowriders should have the Mask ability as well as CoE maybe having a prophet/counselor/something like a disciple with medic and or the ability to choose medic, medic II, Medic III as promotions ...

strange glitch in the defending animation (the portion of the animation when defending against an opponents animated attack) for the War Elephant ... looks almost intentional ... but the little rider man is all sideways and the spears point down ... (also posted in cosmetic thread)

 

[Khai]

Here is to hoping that we get Patch Z today, I know Kael is busy but I'd love to play with the new art on my day off tonight

 

[·Imhotep·]

Waiting for patch z sure is a tough task...

I just played with the Lanun and built the Black Wind. I leveled it up and decided I wanted to use it with some boarding parties so I gave it the +1 cargo space promotion - except it didn't then go from 0 cargo spaces to 1 cargo space, but the promotion was still both valid and present on the ship.

I'm thinking this might be a bug?

Hmmm... I'm thinking Z could be released now...

Its the same with other ships. If the ship does not have any cargo space, the cargo Promotion will be applied but wont work. If u go to a city and choose the Skeleton Crew, u will receive both Boni.

Got Combat Odds to show up when an HN unit tries to attack a Barbarian Ally (or Barbarian) unit. The change in CvGameTextMgr should be the only one which is needed, but both of these make sense to keep anyway.

In CvGameTextMgr::setCombatPlotHelp

	if (pAttacker != NULL)
	{
		pDefender = pPlot->getBestDefender(NO_PLAYER, pAttacker->getOwnerINLINE(), pAttacker, false, NO_TEAM == pAttacker->getDeclareWarMove(pPlot));

		if (pDefender != NULL && pDefender != pAttacker && pDefender->canDefend(pPlot) && pAttacker->canAttack(*pDefender))

Changes to:

	if (pAttacker != NULL)
	{
		if(pAttacker->isAlwaysHostile(pPlot))
		{
			pDefender = pPlot->getBestDefender(NO_PLAYER, pAttacker->getOwnerINLINE(), pAttacker);
		}
		else
		{
			pDefender = pPlot->getBestDefender(NO_PLAYER, pAttacker->getOwnerINLINE(), pAttacker, false, NO_TEAM == pAttacker->getDeclareWarMove(pPlot));
		}

		if (pDefender != NULL && pDefender != pAttacker && pDefender->canDefend(pPlot) && pAttacker->canAttack(*pDefender))

In CvUnit::getDeclareWarMove

			if (!canEnterArea(eRevealedTeam, pPlot->area()) || (getDomainType() == DOMAIN_SEA && !canCargoEnterArea(eRevealedTeam, pPlot->area(), false) && getGroup()->isAmphibPlot(pPlot)))
			{
				if (GET_TEAM(getTeam()).canDeclareWar(pPlot->getTeam()))
				{

Changes to:

			if (!canEnterArea(eRevealedTeam, pPlot->area()) || (getDomainType() == DOMAIN_SEA && !canCargoEnterArea(eRevealedTeam, pPlot->area(), false) && getGroup()->isAmphibPlot(pPlot)))
			{
				if (isAlwaysHostile(pPlot) || GET_TEAM(getTeam()).canDeclareWar(pPlot->getTeam()))
				{

Thanks Xienwolf, I'll add that to patch "z".

The Black Wind starts with a cargo space of 2, not 0. Even if you give it a Longshoreman Crew it would still have a cargo space of 1 before promotions. So something doesn't sound right. When I created The Black Wind in worldbuilder on my system (patch Y) it had 2 cargo space, as expected.

Its the same with other ships. If the ship does not have any cargo space, the cargo Promotion will be applied but wont work. If u go to a city and choose the Skeleton Crew, u will receive both Boni.

In worldbuilder I created a Galley and gave it 2 xp. It started with 0 cargo space, and when I promoted it to Expanded Hull it changed to 1 cargo space. Then I created a Trireme (naturally 1 cargo space) with 2 xp, had it cast Longshoreman Crew (reducing it to 0 cargo space), and then promoted it to Expanded Hull - which raised it back to 1 cargo space. Finally, I created a Galley and tried to cast Longshoreman Crew (which might potentially reduce it to -1 cargo space, as a bug) but found that Longshoreman Crew was not an option. I think your statement and suggestion are both inaccurate.

Got Combat Odds to show up when an HN unit tries to attack a Barbarian Ally (or Barbarian) unit.

Thank you.

Also, in light of all the patch Z noise, I just thought I'd mention:

Also looking forward to it. Thanks Kael!

As for some wannabe moderators...why not leave modding up to the mods?

the black wind starts out with HN and you can't load non-HN units onto an HN vessel ... this might be your problem ...

[cyther]

I don't understand #39. the link appears to be directed toward the private sections of the forums.

 

[xienwolf]

39 was retracted at the last minute, and the post was moved (possibly to the trash). First post updated to not mention it, but not this announcement post.

 

[MagisterCultuum]

I got a CtD when I clicked on the Pink Box icon to build a Bannor Champion.

Why does some games on Vista crash randomly?

I've actually experienced this with Road to War, as well. So far, these have been the only two mods that have crashed randomly on me.

It seems to happen after I minimize Civ IV while playing a game, use the Internet, and then go back to playing FfH/Road to War...and then usually the game crashes, although sometimes it does not...

Anyone know why it would be doing this?

It sounds like you may have a RAM issue. How much RAM is your Vista recognising?
