help with features?

[The_J]

Okay, i've looked into it, can't reproduce it .
Started a new game with the basic mod event, killed a civ via WB a round before the spawning, and the byzantines spawned just fine .

Are python exceptions activated? If not, then do it please.

And i made a quick adjustment to ensure that the first mentioned city name will always be the capital, changed .py file attached.

 

[j_mie6]

how would I check python exceptions are on/turn them on?

 

[The_J]

My Documents\My Games\BtS\Civilization4.ini, change:

; Set to 1 for no python exception popups
HidePythonExceptions = 1

to 0.

 

[j_mie6]

hmm the thought just occured that if this is going on the database then what will happen if the person who has downloaded doesn't have the exceptions hidden? And what is the exceptions for exactly

 

[Baldyr]

Python exceptions are the error messages generated by invalid code. The game hides those from the player by default - the game isn't supposed to generate any errors... But then again, nor is your mod, right?

 

[The_J]

What Baldyr said.
You should not enable the exceptions just for fun, but to see where the error is, this will help to fix the problem .

 

[j_mie6]

oh..... That makes perfect sense now I was thinking it was something that corrects errors somehow.... yeah ok (I have not tried it out yet but I will very soon (unfortunatly I may have deleted my save for it so I will have to play 225 turns again (just in case)

 

[Baldyr]

Do you know how to launch and use the Python console? Because if you do, then you can change the current game turn with the command line:

CyGame().setGameTurn(254)

 

[j_mie6]

no I don't! BUT wouldn't I still have to kill the civ first in like turn 10?

how do I use the consol

 

[Baldyr]

Oh, if you look in my sig you find a Python tutorial link. It should be explained in the first "lesson".

 

[j_mie6]

... Don't know what the key is to open it

 

[Jarlaxe Baenre]

the ` key.

 

[j_mie6]

would that be for a british keyboard (QWERTY)?

 

[Baldyr]

I actually suggest you look up different keyboard layout on like Wikipedia in order to figure out what key would replace the ´or ~ key (the latter seems to be the default ). There is actually a link in the tutorial I mentioned.

I also believe that you need to press the shift key, but it might not apply in your case.

 

[Jarlaxe Baenre]

It's above tab, beside 1 and below Escape.

 

[Baldyr]

On my Swedish keyboard its actually shift + ö (which is located beside the L key, replacing colon/semicolon on a US keyboard).

I've said it before: There needs to be a better way of launching the Python console. Anybody? (I assume you can't fire it with a line of Python code, at least. )

 

[j_mie6]

ok I will test this feautre out tommorrow along with the activate of the python console


In the mean time I still have to find a way of getting the other features

 

[Jarlaxe Baenre]

Just try pressing random keys until you get it.

 

[Baldyr]

Yeah, that works also. Don't forget to try all keys with shift.

 

[j_mie6]

ok I got an exception...

Traceback(most recent call last):

File "CvAppInterface", line 56, in onLoad

File "CvEventInterface", line 23, in onEvent

File "CvEventManager", line 187, in handleEvent

File "vEventManager", line 323, in onLoadGame

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute
'resetNoLiberateCities'

I got this when loading the game saved on turn 224 when it loaded it popped up with the forementioned... Hope it's helpful


this is with the original code (before you made sure that Byzantium would ALWAYS be the capital
