G&K + Mods

[Alewx]

Hey there,
I made a tiny mod for my Civ5, which changes the worldsize of huge maps. Before G&K came out it worked without problems, but not i get some strange messages in the database log.

My Civ5 has all DLCs that are out there and is the Deluxe Steam Edition, has anyone an advice why I get the Database Errors?

Welcome, Alex W.

It sounds like they must've changed the defines on the leaders between the expansion and the base game. It doesn't sound like hardly anyone is working on G&K modding yet, anyway, because it's too soon since first release for people to want more "flavor". That's just my opinion, but it sounds like you might wanna check the leader defines in the Lua.

Hope that helped!

How it looks to me, is that inside the assets of the expansion, there are also DLC Folders with XMLs and if you activate a Mod these DLCs are not loaded and causing the Database to crash.
I guess Firaxis has to change there something interal.

Just from playing the game, there are currently a lot of under- and over-powered elements. I assume there will be many patches in the near future, and that could possibly fix the worldbuilder (mine's not working) and fix/make compatible all the XML files. Otherwise.... we might have to start over with all the XML.

If enabling the DLC/expansion causes the XML files to not load correctly, maybe try opening your mod in ModBuddy, if there's an error it is occasionally highlighted in red. Who knows, maybe they changed some of the XML tags between the expansion and the base game.

EDIT: Sorry, misread your post, I guess maybe modding just isn't quite balanced out yet with the release of the expansion. Maybe mods that change certain things are disabled. IDK, this is coming from someone who does most of their "creating" on WorldBuilder.

I don't even get acess email for the 2K forums to post the issue there, to get some statement from Devs to this problem.

So I found out that Changing Worldsize causes G+K to CTD. just dont know why, because that is the only real thing I want to change, feeling maps far too small.

Is there anyone who could give a hint or advice?

Update:
with Update 1.0.1.674 and G&K Civ nolonger accepts Worldgridsizes bigger than default, just smaller, otherwise it gives a CCTD.
Tested with Civ5 G&K, and with Civ 5 pure, same results.
I want bigger maps
Someone with a solution or similar problem?
