[MODULE] Starting Worker

I'll try that, and get back to you.

Thanks

So, after turn 5, save, close, disable this module and try again, and see whether you get the errors then. I would try this, but for some reason, I don't get this error.

Maybe I'll include a check for gameturn, and see whether that does anything.

Yep, that's what I did. It's not game-breaking error, but certainly less than ideal. I removed the module, and got past turn 60, but now (with the module still inactive) I can't get past turn 101. I'm going to try playing without this module to check that its not a problem with my system, another mod, etc.

Well, so far it seems to have fixed the CTD issue. I've reached turn 100 with no issues. I'll report back if the CTD's return with a vengeance.

Some other people have been getting a CtD on turn 101 as well, its something to do with modules.
I don't know, the code shouldn't be run if they have more than one city, maybe its comparability problems with another module, but I run with 18 modules all the time, and the only problem I have is the random Barb spawns from FallUnder.

Lemonjelly,

Do the barbs spawn cities at about turn 100? I think that this is the cause of the crash. I decided to follow your advice for settings (savages off; barb world on) but the game always crashed at map set-up, until I disabled your 'starting worker' module.

The thing I don't understand is how you manage to play games with starting worker and barbarian world on at the same time, if I cannot. It is definately an incompatibility between the two: I checked every single option. Wierd.

I have no idea, I've never got any problems from this, its weird, Try playing with barbs off completely, do you get a crash at all?

I'll try to put in a check for barbs in if that's definitely a problem, maybe its something that got fixed in the internal version.

When I use this module with the Barbarian World option on I don't crash, just slow down considerably, almost to the point of unplayability.

I have no idea about this either
My first turn is always slower, because every AI is founding a city, but after that, the turns are usually relatively quick, and this little bit of python shouldn't have any noticeable effect on turn speed either.

I like the idea of the module, but if I use it with "Barbarian World" enabled, Civ4 crashes while creating the map (before Turn #1 even starts). With this option disabled the module works.

The Python traceback indicates the problem is in the C++ code in the "pPlayer.initUnit" method.

I'm pretty sure the crash associated with this mod has to do with the first barbarian city spawning. In a recent game where I was playing with this installed, I kept getting a CTD, and looked around in the worldbuilder and there weren't any barb cities, and when I removed this mod, I no longer crashed, and looking around in worldbuilder again there was a barb city.

This module really does seem to make the AI do better, so I hope you can get this sorted out.

If you can printscreen the error and upload it, it'd be great
Once again, I don't get these errors, the barbs happily use their free worker to improve their lands, which, while a bit odd, allows them to actually build enough units to be a threat, and makes their cities nicer to catch

I have no idea what the error is, so I can't figure it out, but if I had the crash error, I could get Valkrionn to look into it for me.
