Problems with tech pop-ups in mods

[Specterace]

Hello all.

The other day I was re-installing Civ 4 and the expansions (digital download from Gamefly) and I wanted to reinstall mods like the Great Generals From Barbarian Combat Mod (for BtS 3.19). Installing it wasn't a problem, however when I tried to play a game with the mod, I found that the screen featuring a description of your stating leader and civ no longer showed up. But the bigger issue was that the tech pop-up screens (the screens that describe the discovered tech and feature Nimoy quoting the saying associated with the tech) no longer popped up when I discovered techs. It's like the 'No Tech Splash' option had been automatically turned on by loading the mods or something, since the screens popped up fine without it (but the NoTechSplash values were all at 0 when I checked them on the .ini files in Vanilla and BTS, so they couldn't have been changed).

Could anyone with mod building or mod-updating experience please help me try and find out why the screens don't pop up, and/or how I can change or mod things so that they come up again? I would be willing to do the actual work on modifying the mods, but I have no idea where to even begin looking for something like this (which file, what line, or whatever). Any help would be most gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

Activate python exceptions

 

[Specterace]

Thanks a lot for the tip Platyping. Doing that showed me that there are quite a few problems with the mod itself. So I guess it's not a surprise that the mod doesn't actually work, as I've found out just now.

I suppose I'll have to try and find a way to fix it. I'd be willing to do it, but since I'm a total noob at Python, anyone willing to give any tips would be most appreciated.

Oh, and if by any chance anyone out there would be interested in helping me out, here are the lines written in the pop-up screens that show up while the mod is loading up due to the activation of the python exceptions, in the order that they pop up at loading:

Spoiler :

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

File '<string>', line 52, in load_module

File 'CvEventInterface', line 16, in ?

File '<string>', line 52, in load_module

File 'CvCustomEventManager', line 22, in ?

File '<string>', line 52, in load_module

File 'CvGreatGeneralsFromBarbarianCombatEventManager', line 5, in ?

File '<string>', line 52, in load_module

File 'CvConfigParser', line 26, in ?

File '<string>', line 52, in load_module

File 'CvPath', line 117, in ?

File 'CvPath', line 98, in_getUserDir

File 'CvPath', line 105, in_getInstallDir

File 'CvPath', line 88, in_getRegValue

Windows Error

:

Errno 2 The system cannot find the file specified

Failed to load Python module CvEventInterface

I gather that some of the problems are in files such as the CvPath file, but others are a mystery to me, specifically the ones that have the question mark symbol for the location (in ?).

Again, noobie here at Python, so a more experienced hand who can make more of this than I can would be welcome here.
