what exactlty does 2.20 change/fix? Fixes the problem with CIV: Complete ? What is this?

 

[alerum68]

It's kind of hard to know what it is, but when you go to download the file it will show a clipboard next to the file name. That list the change log. I don't know why they don't make it something more obvious, like "change log." Took me a while to find it my first time too. Anyway, 2.20's change log:

Now supports Civilization 4: Complete.
Various bug fixes.
Added "Liberate" to Custom Domestic Adivsor info.
Updating of Scoreboard to make it easier to contact other civs.
Added fist icon to Foreign Adivsor.

As for the problem with Civ 4: Complete it basically would only search for BTS and not the new Euro version. It should work fine now. Was hoping one of our Euro users would have posted a yay or nay, but until then I'm going to assume it's working.

was the bug fixed where non-BUG users would get a CTD when viewing the game log?

I wasn't able to reproduce the problem using a save from Ruff. If someone can post a save that crashes, I'll try again.

I think the problem was only during a brief window of time when were changing versions, and the game was started with one version, and later everyone upgraded. Something was done in that change that caused the problem. Once all games using earlier versions were done, it seems the problem went away. I've looked around the SG forum, and there are still people using BUG in SG games, and have heard no complaints about it.

That's probably more because we're used to it now.

As a non-BUG user, I still have CTD everytime I try and open the game log from a SG where one of the team has BUG, although after this happened all the time I have stopped trying to open the game log in SGs .

Are you saying that this no longer happens with the newest version of BUG? I can provide a save with the crash in it if you need one as someone was remarking on it in one of my SGs today and I came here looking to see if there was a solution.

I tried to trace that problem down ... the only issue is that it doesn't occur if you turn on all the error tracing code in Civ 4. It could still be an open item.

 

[·Imhotep·]

Any progress on the FBUG (or formerly BAT) part ?

I think you mean BAT (formaly FBUG)

 

[NikNaks]

Yes, it's BAT. I'm hoping to complete it this week. Alerum, you need to learn to multi-task.

 

[Minor Annoyance]

Great!
^^^^

 

[walbeek]

Thanx NikNak, We're looking forward to it!

Just to confirm, it is definitely still a problem. Although I did try your suggestion of turning on the error logs, and you're right that it no longer crashed BTS. However, I noticed that there were now blank lines in the log. Is it possible those lines are related to the spurious data being written to the log?

 

[ruff_hi]

hmm - interesting. Can you post a copy of the log and highlight the additional lines. That might give a clue.

 

[Conroe]

In looking at it from this game, I see that it actually isn't blank lines after all. It is black text on a black background. Is that meaningful?

Of course, without error tracing on, BTS just crashes to the desktop instead of displaying anything. The screenshot is from S-08 if you want to look at a save.

 

[alerum68]

Initial versiion of BAT on the SVN. Is fairly basic at this point, containing only BUG and VD, but has no errors, and have mad it Modular so you can plug-n-play your own mods on top of what we do. Since it is modular, you will need to install into a directory named BAT Mod within your BTS docs folder for this to work properly. I won't be putting a release out until we convert all the XML to a modular format, and all the graphics are PAKed.

Hi, I just loaded up the mod to see how it works. Everything looks okay till I ctrl-alt-O. The options screen comes up nicely, but I can never exit from it. Pressing exit or esc on my keyboard have no effect, and I have to force quit the program as a result.

Any ideas on this issue?

 

[NikNaks]

Yep, that's a common one. That means that the options screen is having trouble accessing the ini file. Check that it is in the right location (in "My Games/Beyond the Sword/" if installed in Custom Assets or in "Mods/BUG Mod*" if installed as a mod). I might be a bit off with the locations...

*BUG Mod is only a suggested name. Put it in whichever folder you have it installed.

 

[Naota Reign]

Edit: I've fixed the problem after I realized there was a BUG bug forum, and read through that, haha.

Problem solved: post is not needed anymore.
