Somewhere in the CvInitCore.cpp I think. In CvInitCore::read it reads in the array of player passwords from the save - you should be able to blank it out there in the debugger by breakpointing there on a load as I recall

I wonder if ppl even notice they have a notification for PMs any more.
Truly sad this game is getting away from us.

When I can catch the time to address it I will if you haven't gotten word back. I've just been holding out on the effort since it could save some time if you get the response you're looking for.

Sorry Thunderbrd, I didn't mean to belittle your efforts. I'm just antsy to get back to the game and it has been, what, three weeks now?

Problem is I'm stuck on a building pile of bugs in the main mod. That takes precedence.

Just had a thought, did ls612's Another MP empire that Whisperr took over have a password that he supplied? If so maybe try it to unlock this Massive game?

It did not. I'll try to address this next when I can later tonight.

It sounds like you're trying the right approach. When you say 'reset all m_aszCivPassword settings' what do you mean exactly be 'reset'? They need to be valid strings not NULLs. Also you cannot omit that line since it is needed to consume the input stream (so step over it, allowing the passwords to be set, then change them to empty strings - easiest way might be to just a add a bit of code temporarily to do that rather than try to use the debugger to do it)

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here but adding that bit of code to change the passwords, to "" or anything at all causes a crash in the exe.
Maybe I'm just formatting the string wrong but it seems there's some kind of internal validation check I'm colliding with.
Example:
Code:
// PLAYER DATA
WRAPPER_READ_STRING_ARRAY(wrapper, "CvInitCore", MAX_PLAYERS, m_aszLeaderName);
WRAPPER_READ_STRING_ARRAY(wrapper, "CvInitCore", MAX_PLAYERS, m_aszCivDescription);
WRAPPER_READ_STRING_ARRAY(wrapper, "CvInitCore", MAX_PLAYERS, m_aszCivShortDesc);
WRAPPER_READ_STRING_ARRAY(wrapper, "CvInitCore", MAX_PLAYERS, m_aszCivAdjective);
WRAPPER_READ_STRING_ARRAY(wrapper, "CvInitCore", MAX_PLAYERS, m_aszCivPassword);
for (int i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
{
PlayerTypes eID = (PlayerTypes)i;
if ( checkBounds(eID, 0, MAX_PLAYERS) )
{
m_aszCivPassword[eID] = m_aszLeaderName[eID];
}
}This also does:
Code:
for (int i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
{
PlayerTypes eID = (PlayerTypes)i;
if ( checkBounds(eID, 0, MAX_PLAYERS) )
{
m_aszCivPassword[eID] = CvWString(gDLL->md5String((char*)CvString(m_aszLeaderName[eID]).GetCString()));;
}
}I've tried formatting a CvWString multiple ways but every attempt to reset the password value has resulted in a crash.
BTW, are you saying you can change the value of a variable while running the debug dll? If that can be done that could be interesting.

Got a reply from ls612. He did not have a password for this massive game. So it would seem Spirictum added one? But the question is How did he do that?

Now that I've found in the code. You just open up the player details and add it. Apparently its safe to do so at that stage of things.
MagnusIlluminus

I seem to recall that when I took over from Acularius, the game allowed me to (re-)set the password during the first turn that I played, but not during any subsequent turns. It was almost like it knew that the turn was being played on a different machine or something. Presumably, it would have done the same for Spirictum.
Thunderbrd, if you have found in the code where the password is, instead of changing it to nothing (IE, ""), perhaps try changing it to something simple like "aa". That might work better.

I am not one to give up without a fight and there's more ways than one to skin a cat. I am also not one to go on guessing as to where it would be safe to reset this infernal password.
So... I've compiled a dll that will enable a reset on ALL passwords at once by setting the password for any player through the normal means, which is to pull up the player details screen and enter a new password. This action will set the password the same for all players with this .dll. Theoretically this should be safe and won't cause a crash but this exe has been crafty at foiling my efforts so far.
What would need to happen here is to have Magnus temporarily replace the dll with the one I'm uploading here (in the MP C2C assets folder - keep the old one as a backup!) and take a turn. During the process of taking the turn (before end turn!) reset your password and share the password you reset it to with us all.
Then commit the save and I can thereafter relieve our missing player of his obligation to the game. Sorry ya gotta take your turn again Magnus, but so that you don't have to update back to the last commit before your turn was taken, I've included the save for you in this upload.
Once you've taken your turn, replace the dll with the original again and we should be back on track.

I've downloaded what you put there, but I'll have to poke at that tomorrow.
If I have to redo one turn to get this back on track, that's fine.

Make sure to set the password early in case it causes a crash.

Something seems to be bugged.
I replaced the "CvGameCoreDLL.dll" with your new one (after backing up the existing one) and launched from the provided savegame file.
Game launched normally.
Asked me if I wanted to re-calc, as dll changed, but I said no. Perhaps I should have said yes?
Changed password to "na5" without quotation marks.
Turn played fine, saved at the end.
Went to main menu, load PBEM game to load the new save (to Totila) to do a Retire.
Game begins loading normally, but hangs at "Initializing" when the green bar is just slightly past being directly under the lowest point of the hard drive image.
Game crashes to desktop.
I've tried loading twice with the changed dll and three times with the normal dll, and it crashes at the same point (as far as I can tell) each time. I'm attaching the savegame file for going into Totila's turn here just in case you can get it to work.
