[keldath]

isenchine ,
ye when i removed them i still used my add up dll, now im gonna test kmod with the paratroopers.
im sure it will work.
then ill use my dll ( i removed some parts that may cause the error in the drop range).

Nightinggale,
thnks man, thank a lot,
i will install 2010 , its better.

well - arent i suppose to open the pdb file by my self? does it acctually shows you the erro location on the xmls?


**
ok, ran 2 games, my own dll, without a problematic part, with the paratroopers, so far stable.

 

[keldath]

well, gotten another crash

i got vcs 2012, so ill try reading the pdb.

i wish some1 could have help me more its so hard , im fighting to keep barsoom alive .

 

[Folket]

I'm not certain what you expected us to do more. We found what caused your last crash and gave a suggestion on how to work around your crash.

 

[keldath]

ye i know,
im just expressing my frustration.

i will try to do what i can with the help and ideas you all gave me.


thanks.

 

[keldath]

ok,
i have a crash here:



CvCivicInfo& CvGlobals::getCivicInfo(CivicTypes eCivicNum)
{
FAssert(eCivicNum > -1);
FAssert(eCivicNum < GC.getNumCivicInfos());
return *(m_paCivicInfo[eCivicNum]);
}

what does it mean?

 

[isenchine]

You have 49 Civics (type number from 0 to 48).

The code tries to get the info on a specific civic through its type number.

The Asserts check that the number is > -1 and < 49 (GC.getNumCivicInfos() will return 49).

Why it does not return a number between 0 and 48 included is not explained here. Here again the debugger should help you to understand what's going wrong.

 

[keldath]

mm ok,
maybe one of the civics have an error,


also i get this - my pdb is in the debug folder and in the assets with the dll:

'Civ4BeyondSword.exe' (Win32): Unloaded 'C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.windows.gdiplus_6595b64144ccf1df_1.1.7601.17825_none_72d273598668a06b\GdiPlus.dll'

bseides - that - i canont load the pdb manually - not in vcs 2008 nor in 2012, i get error message that im missing an editor?

 

[Nightinggale]

That display is normal. After all it's mostly for files in C:\windows and we assume those files to be bug free (windows bug free ). The one line you shouldn't get is the warning that the pdb file is missing for CvGameCoreDLL.dll. As long as that one is loaded, it should work just fine.

 

[keldath]

ok thanks.

nightinggale,

can you please explain to me, how in the paratrooper bug, you got to pin point the exact unit that causes the error?

 

[Folket]

She put the debug dll in the mod asset folder so it was used, then attached to the civ process and loaded a game that would crash. Then the crash comes visual studio will break for you and you can look at variable values.

 

[keldath]

ye thats what i do as well,

but, wheres the variable? where does it say - the unit X causes the problem?

somewhere in the call stack? the "this" + thingy?

 

[keldath]

ok,
extremely weird,
when i change this -
<bNoForeignTrade>0</bNoForeignTrade>
to
<bNoForeignTrade>1</bNoForeignTrade>

in one specific civic - i get a ctd. isnt this weird?
