multiplayer question

[Abyss08]

Hi, from what I can tell your mod is awesome. I really like how it gives so much more information at one time to the player which is why I want to use it. The problem is that I pretty much exclusively play multiplayer with some friends of mine. We're not ladder or anything, nor do we play competitively. Will installing the mod mean that I can't play online with them? The name is unaltered game play, so I was hopeing it would work.

Civ4 requires that all players in a multiplayer game be running the mod. This isn't specific to BUG. The game has no way of knowing if a mod alters gameplay or not. If you can convince all your friends to install BUG and you only play with them, you can use BUG in those games.

This doesn't stop you from using BUG in your singleplayer games when you play them.

BUG works very well with MP games but i recommend bat or buffy too which work. You might have some issues with connecting but keep trying and it will work. If you have problems connecting post up and I might be able to help you.

Hi tgvulcan,
You claim that BUFFY works in multiplayer, but I have some problems with it, as do some other mentioned in the BUFFY announcement thread. There are no reactions as of yet to these threads.
The problem is that we get OOS errors very frequently, mostly when attacking. Also the first turn of a game always starts with an OOS error.
We've all got BUG 3.6 installed , maybee the combination is giving some troubles ?
Any help is appreciated

BUFFY includes a newer version of BUG (4.0), so I recommend uninstalling BUG 3.6 as a first attempt at fixing the issue. This and the stack attack crashing are two issues with BUFFY that are very perplexing. Neither issue happens with BUG or BULL, which BUFFY essentially is with a few minor additions.
