missing HUD interface

[z0wb13]

every time that i load a mod, i get a problem whereby i can't see the interface and none of my advisers work. however, it still loads the sevopedia, as opposed to the normal civilopedia. i'm assuming that it's because i have BUG installed in my custom assets. is there any way to load a mod, like barbarians, and still have the BUG interface?

i notice that if i go and change the configuration file to:

; Custom Art from user folder is not loaded
NoCustomArt = 1

; Custom XML and Python from user folder are not loaded
NoCustomAssets = 1



then i can get the normal interface, sans BUG. but what i want to be able to do is, i think, merge BUG into my vanilla game and then have mods play on top of that. Or rather, i want to know if there is an easy way to merge BUG mod with all of the other ones out there.

any ideas? thanks. i don't mod much, mostly just post under strategy & tips.

You should have posted that in the BUG subforum .
But maybe your question is already answered, look here.

BUG was designed to be used in the regular game, it's doesn't always work with mods, unless it was merged to begin with.

Solution: Copy "CustomAssets/Config" to "<mod>/Assets" so that the path to init.xml becomes "<mod>/Assets/Config/init.xml". This must be done for any mod that you want to play.

resolved(sp?)

thanks!

@ The_J: thanks for the link. haven't fixed it yet, unfortunately. should i change anything else?

It has been reported, that only the copying will solve the problem.
But i don't know, if your problem is really the same.

could somebody point me a thread on making stuff compatible with BUG?

There's a thread for questions about this here.

Willem[/b]: i'm trying to merge a mod that i made with BUG, so that it will work together. so, any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Look for a program called WinMerge, it's a very handy utility for merging certain files. It's freeware too.
