MPMPM - Multiplayer Mod DLC-hack (Updated!)

[Ilyu]

Hmm, in that case you may want to just explicitly check the table for a pre-existing entry before allowing it to insert. i.e.

if Game.Stats.Buildings[objectID] == nil then
    table.insert(Game.Stats.Buildings[objectID], stat)
end

It do prevent the bug with the tech tree but it also disable the Tooltip, i think it is because it is always false. For the moment i decided to place a check on GameInfo at the start of the functions GetDefaultBuildingStatText and GetDefaultPromotionsStatText now each time we have more than one loading screen it should just disable the tooltips (with them working fine if you just launch or load one game).

try to shorten the modpack name. just unname it in "m" oder simular and try it again. Maybe this will help.
If this does not work, you have to shorten the listet files too.. but this could cause problems with the modpack itself, so the author should shorten the names or use less directories and make it work.

Yay I got it to work with this:


1. Open the zip folder MODSPACK.
2. Copy the folder MP_JFD_MODSPACK to desktop.
3. Go into MP_JFD_MODSPACK -> Mods and rename the folder: JFD's The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (v 5
I renamed it to ABC.
4. Copy the entire MP_JFD_MODSPACK folder from desktop into the Civ 5 DLC folder.

It now do not come up with errors

5. Rename the ABC folder back to: JFD's The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (v 5.

PLAY !

I was happy too fast. The mudpack does not seem to work sadly.

We were 7 players all with the pack installed under DLC and we all got graphic error.

I would actually try leaving the folder name as just ABC, and seeing if that helps.

 

[anandus]

Datherion, same problem here

Renaming that folder to ABC doesn't work

Edit: Removing cityview.lua in \MP_JFD_MODSPACK\UI\ did the trick.

Although it now hangs in the leaderscreen at the first meet, although 'escape' works there.

Edit:
Made my own modpack now, I didn't know it was *that* easy!

 

[Franckcrack]

Mine crashes in loading screen, I tried debugging but couldn't find anything. Help? http://textuploader.com/ybbd

if cityview.lua causes a problem, it is because the author created the modpack with another cityview active, than you normally use.
Maybe one of you (you or the author) had EUI mod active? It has a different cityview.lua.

Also a InGame and a LeaderHeadRoot lua is in the Modpack UI folder, that could be from other things active while creating the modpack.

So I think Kesler should fix those issues I will PM him.

@Franckcrack:
what are you trying to do? Create own modpack or start an exisiting? If creating, which mods you have active?

 

[Kesler]

So sorry guys, I haven't been checking up on this thread Yes, the problem probably is because I did have EUI added in when creating the modpacks. I apologies for occupying all your time. Rest assured, this system does work, I just need to fix it myself.

I will start making a new file tonight, without EUI. Remove your current JFD modpack, and replace it with the upcoming one.

Thanks for the heads up Serp. Out of curiosity, why did you suggest shortening the mod names?

Sorry for lack of explanation, it was a quick post. I am using an existing modpack the "CivAddiction’s Multiplayer Modpack – CP+CSD+C4DF+Serp’s+And More!" but I also tried the "Serp's Multiplayer Improved Experience pack" and did the same thing.

Maybe you can make a EUI compatible version (with EUI active) and a version without EUI

I suggested to shorten the names, because auf the post from Datherion:

error 0x80010135 path too long

Windows has problems to deal with too long paths. That's why a long name like:
"JFD's The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (v 5)" is never a good idea.

Okay, if it also happens with my modpack, we should try to solve this first (less mods, so problem could be easier to find).

So the game crashes after choosing map+civ+settings and clicking "start game", right?
Is it a quick crash to desktop without any message? E.g if some files are missing, you will get an error message about that. You will be stucked in the loading screen until you clicked "ok" at that message.

So try to start my modpack again (delete all other modpacks and other custom content from the DLC folder) and start a normal singleplayer game (without the mod menu).
If the problem accures, post also the logs xml.log, lua.log and database.log.
(Enabling logging)

 

[Kesler]

Okay, the new link should be up when I get back from work. The new version will contain:

i) Nothing linked to EUI
ii) Shortened file names

Serp, it would be great if you could download and see if it functions once I do set up the link, just to make sure it works completely.

EDIT: Update is up, check the new link on the first post.

No, it crashes after the intro, in the loading screen before the main menu, it's a simple CTD with the "Civilization has stopped working".
I find it weird that the logging seems messed up, maybe because I can't ever start a game.

Database: http://pastebin.com/y5pRPmz5
Lua: http://pastebin.com/EA3vGpjh
Xml: http://pastebin.com/E5E4BRCi

It even says on the Log that it is skipping the database verification. But I've checked again and I followed the instructions on logging...

Is it possible make 3rd and 4th unique component and info addict in to a mod pack?

I've been trying to make a modpack, mostly adding civs. Although sometimes the game crashes when exiting the game or exiting to main menu.
In-game it is stable as far as I've tested. Logging is turned on.
Is there any way to find out what is causing this? I'm checking database.log, but I don't know what to look at.

Edit:

So I've been able to fix the CTD issue when re-loading or exiting to desktop. [...]

What was the cause?

This is a problem civ 5 has always had, and turns up even when playing mods the normal way. It's a thing the developers probably never bothered to fix since it's not truly serious (most people quitting games are preparing to go to sleep since the sun is up. )

 

[Kesler]

The reason is actually for some Lua code used with the mods. Stopping the game to reload (or even quit) crashes the Lua code and then the game. This might have to do with the implementation code for the Events & Decisions mod, but I could be mistaken on that.
