my mod crashes when I build a city

[hoonak]

Greetings for the Burbankian Empire!

I am just tinkering with some units in BtS_3.13. Here's my issue, when I attempt to build my first city, the game CTD with a "send error report".

This does not happen in any of the other BtS Mods, nor does it happen when playing BtS.

Obviously, the problem is in my mod but I am unable to figure out the problem. This is a small portion of a larger mod. I wanted to get the new units in place and operational before I attempted to add new technologies, buildings or modify game play.

The changes all involve variant worker units:

1. Captured Workers-slaves are less effective than regular workers
2. Freemen-Captured Workers after Democracy
3. Laborers-an upgraded worker unit
4. Builders-an upgraded laborer unit
5. Steam Shovel-an upgraded builder unit

My files are uploaded http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/25115/terraform_mod.zip for your inspection, but HAVE NOT been added to the database.

I am probably making a very simple error, but I missed it because Iam very busy being

Next time it happens, post the upper part of the error code (click "see what's in this report").

gganz, is this the stuff you are talking about:

AppName: civ4beyondsword.exe AppVer: 3.0.0.1 ModName: cvgamecoredll.dll
ModVer: 3.1.3.0 Offset: 00115c8b

I also created a dump file, but I have no idea how to access it and or use it.

Burbank thanks you.

Well that's just what everyone else says to do, but I don't see how that helps.

I think what has happened is related to the artwork. I did some serious cheating by just re-labeling existing artwork for my units and hoping it would work. not a good thing.

I will have to actually find a way to make the units.

I have resolved his issue. I had two problems:

1. I was using the same graphic for two separate units;
2. I was attempting to build a modular mod.

I have fixed my graphic issue and given up on the modular mod at this time. I will make the mod work, then make it modular.

What does "modular" mean?

 

[hoonak]

modular, as in I build smaller .xml files and put them into the modules folder, rather than editing the entire original .xml file.

How does that even work? I didn't know you could do that.
