Problems with mapscripts

[Bringa]

Hi,

I can't seem to run any modified mapscripts. I tried both SmartMap and STO's maps from this forum, and when they both didn't work (clicking "Single Player" immediately gives me a "Failed to load python module <name of mapscript>", I did some minimal changes on an exisiting mapscript to see what would happen. It crashed too. Also, when I change the line

HAPDebugger = 0

to = 1 in the .ini file, the Game stops loading when it hits "initializing Python". Is that normal?

First of all, the HAPDebugger is behaving normally. You actually have to run the hapdebugger (a downloadable application) from sourceforge. CivIV is waiting for you to 'start debug' in the HAPDebugger application.

http://hapdebugger.sourceforge.net/

Now as to why mapscripts aren't working for you, that's less clear.

First, make sure you didn't put smartmap in a sub directory, ie that you have:

civ iv directory\PublicMaps\SmartMap.py

and NOT:
civ iv directory\PublicMaps\SmartMap\SmartMap.py

If you've got that right, the next thing I'd say is to try turning on the cheat code:

; Move along
CheatCode = chipotle

in your civiv config.

If neither of those work ... well ... see if you can get the exact error message you're getting.

HI ,I don't think this is normal !?
Some players have a problem of compatibility with python (they don't have the module random full) ,but you 're the first wich can't load a Sto_map .
Sorry but i can't help you .
I actually rewrote every map scripts ,using only civ4 function for more compatibility .i'll send you the map as soon as i finish to see if something change ...this is the only thing i can do to help you

About that random.py issue. It was really getting to me, and it's some sort of pathing issue. I'm not sure exactly what's causing it because I found a workaround. I have Python24 (and 23) installed on my machine, so I copied the random.py file from the Lib directory and put it in the directory of the mod I'm trying to load. Random issues then go away.

This only affects python scripts which are using the random.py module. Not sure why. Something we've installed I bet. Anyone make a mod that changes the random.pyc in the Civ IV assets folder?

Hi! Thanks a lot for the info about the HAP Debugger. I should have googled that myself.

Now after turning on most of the other debug options, I get some errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<string>", line 1, in ?

ImportError: No module named Sto_Terra

​

(I'm using STO's modified Terra mapscript right now; I have the mapscripts directly in the PublicMap directory, of course; I'm one of those strange users who believe in readme files ;P) The PythonErr2.log doesn't hold anything interesting for me:

PythonDbg.log shows this in the end:

load_module Sto_Terra

Sto_Terra

load_module Sto_Terra

load_module Sto_Terra

Sto_Terra

​

So what I'm getting is that it's trying to load sto_terra.py somewhere but fails; then it complains that it can't get to the isAdvancedMap function in the sto_terra module (obviously, because the module didn't load). What I'm not getting is that there doesn't seem to be any error explaining WHY sto_terra.py didn't load.

I set the cheatcode now and also copied random.py from the lib dir of my python installation into the publicmaps folder. I get a little more in PythonErr.log now:

Traceback (most recent call last):

​

The same for SmartMap:

ERR: Call function isAdvancedMap failed. Can't find module random
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<string>", line 1, in ?

​

Putting random.py into civdir/Assets/Python/System (where it should be preferred over random.pyc, of course) didn't help either.

Hi!
There is something i don't understand with the log !
i don' t define 'getModPath' in the maps ,do you make it ?

Don't put another .py in public map folder ,they are all open at the beginning of the game to see if this is map scripts .Do you put Sto_terra in an other folder than publicmaps folder?
And it seems that the pb is not with the module random .because it support init of the maps and don't have time to run a random.function (the map chashed before).

Is there some other custom maps you can load?

I did not change anything about your mapscripts nor about the game. Pure untampered Civ4 1.52.

I removed random.py from the PublicMaps folder again, and as I said before, I'm putting my mapscripts in the right place (that'll be directly into PublicMaps, not into any subfolder)

As for other mapscripts (custom MAPS load fine; it's just the mapSCRIPTS that don't), I've tried SmartMap and your scripts, and they seem to all create the same error.

I'll try reinstalling the game.

 

[Sto]

hi!
do the maps works after reinstalling?

 

[Bringa]

Complete reinstall solved the problem. The only changes I had made on my previous version were in the .ini file, so I really cannot fathom how that might have kept the map scripts from working. Oh well; that mystery belongs to the past then.

Thanks a lot sto and surt for trying to help me sort this out! (and for your map scripts, of course )

Sadly, you're not the first person to have some bizarre problem like this just go away after reinstalling. I would have to say that it looks like the c++ / python integration is not quite ready for primetime.
