Problem with v129?

Tids · Feb 8, 2012

So I recently purchased some of the DLC, being all the civs except Korea, and have begun trying each out. I had no problem until I got to onto Babylon, which I believe is when I started playing v129 of the mod.

As soon as I began various issues arose.

- Once the map had loaded, the UB and UU of Babylon icon dissapeared from the start information on the leader
- Buildings had no tooltip information, including wonders
- When the Next Turn button had the choose production button in its place, clicking it had no effect
- At some point I could not change my production
- The panel on the right of the city screen was very jumbled up

So I cleared my cache and verified my files, and redownloaded v129, and got the tuner running.
At first I thought that the problems were solved, as the tooltips returned and the icons were showing. However a few turns into the game I found that the tech Trading (I think) was missing the icons for what it revealed etc, and that the whole tech tree was disjointed. Further previous issues arose.

Here is most of what the tuner had to say, from after map generation

Spoiler :

I am not sure if this is actually an issue with the mod - something may have gone wrong with the installation of the DLC onto my computer. (I have tried with a non-dlc civ, which yielded the same issues). However I did try playing without the mod briefly, which yielded none of the origional issues.

EDIT: Oh and only other mods are CivWillard and Infoaddict

I had no DLC other than Mongolia and I also experienced the disjoint tech tree, but on turn one. I tried clearing cache and moduserdata a couple times with no effect. I also reverted to an older version and it worked fine. I haven't had a change to check the tuner.

Runtime Error: [string "C:\Users\James\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier..."]:99: FATAL UnitCombatInfos[UNITCOMBAT_MOUNTED_ARCHER] does not exist

That indicates a database error, and those usually mess up the whole game. Could you attach this file:

\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\Logs\Database.log

I have played a few games with v128 with no issues so far.

The log file is showing just the usual stuff, which is strange. The mounted archer combat type is created in CiVUP - General.xml. The lua error message indicates that file did not load, yet there's no message about it in database.log. Try it again with v130 tomorrow and see if the problem still happens.

Cool, thanks Thal.
Was there any change from v128 to v129 that would have provoked this?

Interesting that you say this. I am sure this isn't your issue, but I also used v128 and then switched to v129 and had similar issues (tech tree completely missing after Classical ERA, not being able to change production, tool tips not working, etc.).

What I figured out was that making the change mid-game was a big no-no (I belatedly read Thals' comments not to do this - duh). In fact, the game would actually crash between turns after installing v129. Anyway, before I figured out that was the problem, I went ahead and started a new v129 game just to see if it worked. That was when all of the GUI errors came about.

To make matters worse, I have two computers that I switch playing Civ V on from day to day. I save my games on Steam to do this, and one computer had v128 while the other had v129. Obviously, DO NOT do this. LOL.

I do want to say a huge thank you to Thal and the other authors of the VEM, CivUp, Willard and InfoAddict mods. I am fairly new to both Civ IV and Civ V (played the older versions of Civ back in the day, but it had been years since I had picked up the series). I enjoyed both vanilla versions, and picked up Beyond the Sword at the same time as Civ V. Contrary to what many have said about Civ V, I found myself choosing to play Civ V vanilla over Civ IV and Civ IV BTS. I just felt like the tactical combat was so much more interesting and the social policies really added so much to the structure and planning of the game. IMHO.

Anyway, VEM and the other mods have multiplied the fun factor of Civ V for me. The added or modified changes to buildings, polices, units, et al makes the game so much more intriguing. Oh - the "Plus" maps are also incredible and make the game so much more engaging - although having to clear out about a hundred Barb ships that roam the ocean can get pretty exhausting.

Once again, thanks for this incredible set of Mods.
