Iran Iraq War Mod+Scenario

[stolenrays]

Attach the save file to your next post and I'll take a look at it. The information you gave me surrounding the crash are much more important though. What it means is that the Water Mod is causing some sort of problem. The water mod causes artificial irrigation after an aqueduct is built. Something is obviously going wrong in the art files because that's what a red blob means (missing art).

Is the SVN version better? Yes/No. If you look at the first post, you will see the progress entitled Future Plans. There are tons of new mod additions. It is the most up to date version of the mod. However, it is more of an alpha/beta version because it is a work in progress with xml errors sometimes. My conclusion, the best polished & stable version is the release version that is out, v1.5.

Alright here is my save file, it's just after I've built the aquaducts and the purple blobs are visible. I'll give the SVN version a shot too.

I think I figured out the aqueduct/red blob problem. The aqueduct/Hammam replacement, etc. trigger the water feature. That nif is in the wrong place I believe and shows up as a red blob and starts crashes.

 

[Daveoz]

Great to hear, I'm glad your still working on this great mod, thank you.

Do you think, the AI building aquaducts, or other structures could be causing crashes for the player, even if he doesn't build them? I've had a few games as Syria, Cyprus and others, where it crashes after a few dozen turns, even after I try changing my build and move orders around.

 

[stolenrays]

Yes, that definetly is a problem as well and I'm sorry about the CTD's. As this seems to be a troublesome problem, I'll try and fix it soon.

This is a python file for Embryo, who has graciously offered to look at the code in the hopes of finding the PLE hover text bug.

 

[stolenrays]

One thing I noticed that is very odd, is that when I hover over a city, some of the building icons are pink. However, everywhere else (e.g. Pedia, etc.) they show up normally. I have no idea what this means, but at least in my SVN version it is causing some CTD's.

 

[dacubz145]

that happened to me with some great people once..the buttons were fine but when they were born that circular button thing showed up pink...crap i dont remember what the solution was. you checked to make sure there was no comma right?

 

[stolenrays]

There's no comma in the artdefines. Do the slash leaning matter (forward or backward)?

What is also odd is that if I don't really do anything in the mod, it CTD on the second turn. However, if I play the game or add all buildings to one city, there is no CTD.

 

[stolenrays]

I forgot, spaces in button names instead of a _ causes pink buttons.

Deveoz, I'm currently Debugging the DLL. It is giving me some insight into many XML problems I just wasn't able to catch otherwise. I'll keep you posted.

 

[stolenrays]

I think that I've finally found the reason for the variable CTD's. While debugging I found the CTD happen on city conquest, but not all the time. It occurs when the AI conquers.

CvSting.h

	const CvWString& operator=( const CvWString& w) { assign(w.c_str());	return *this; }

It is something I'm gonna need to find help with along with the other Assert Failures because I'm not that familar with fixing the asserts.

Anybody else get CTD's while playing my latest release? What graphics/card settings do you have and how often does it happen?

I find that I get past the usual CTDs when I have my graphics settings low. My DLL is very heavily modified. Almost as much added as C2C.

-Land transport AI-When completed by Lemon

He is pulling out it from Tholal?

 

[stolenrays]

Not sure about how Lemon is creating it. Just got the secondhand info from Dacubz.

When load the SVN version appears Tomato and Titanium errors, and chemical wepons is pink square in sevopedia.

It's a miracle ! I changed "Graphics level" to low, and FINALLY I could advance a turn on my games that have been crashing for weeks now !

Surprisingly, I didn't notice a change in graphical quality at all in this mod. Anyways, great having as much added as C2C, another mod I like. Unit and building variety is a great reason to play as all the factions for once.

 

[stolenrays]

I appreciate the praise Daveoz. The mod is still improving and I'm glad you like the variety as I put a lot of hard work into the art.

I got the same result as you with the graphics settings. Not sure what is going on. In the SVN Version I just removed some python code/erros/callbacks. Turn speed is greatly increased now.

Embryodead is helping me Debug it now, so some more critical errors might be fixed soon.

I'll fix the bonus errors, thanks.

Another thing that could be causing CTDs is a Super Spies bug. I'm updating Super Spies now to v1.8 that fixes that CTD when you use the Assassinate mission.

 

[stolenrays]

I found that if I put Globe Quality and Movie Quality on Low and all other settings as I normally play (High), I get no CTD.
