When trying to start a multiplayer game, i got this python error repeated multiple times:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "CvScreensInterface", line 1172, in forceScreenUpdate

File "CvMainInterface", line 1353, in updateScreen

NameError: global name 'RoMOpt' is not defined
ERR: Python function forceScreenUpdate failed, module CvScreensInterface

I'm using SVN 9974 and Interface overhal modmod and custom civilizations modmod. Single player gives no problem.

No error messages on multiplayer now

The Munitions Factory description does not mention that it is required to build the Light Artillery which is quite important to know. When you select Military buildings in the city screen the Munitions Factory is not shown.

The icon for the first unit is overlapping with the active unit box in the bottom corner, so I'm unable to select the Stone Thrower in the screenshot:

You must change, in BUG options, the draw method for the plot list from BUG to Vanilla.

Ah thanks, I actually selected that option wondering what it did, clearly nothing good

PPIO v0.5.9.4.9.5.7

• SVN compatibility update
• Moved the globalDefines.xml modifications over to the globalDefinesAlt.xml because the globalDefines.xml kept changing in the SVN all the time.

The hover text over a city gives errors concerning the font when certain units are present, e.g. Police Dogs, it could also depend on the upgrades those units have.

Please provide a save so I can properly debug the raw text that is being processed behind the scenes in that tooltip.

PPIO v0.5.9.4.9.5.8

• Terrain damage is now shown in red colored text in the tooltip as it's supposed to.

 

[Snofru1]

Here is a save. You could try to find Athen for example with 3 of these messages but you can find them in many places.

PPIO v0.5.9.4.9.5.9

• Fixed tooltip bug reported by Snofru1 above. A real "4 hour" head twister that debug process was, but I got it fixed in the end.

Well done!

Well done!

Thanks, what really threw me off was that "</font" part as it isn't in the raw text python gets from the dll, and python didn't add it there either under the text format post-processing code I've written.
I eventually figured out that the .exe added it there due to some text format oddity rule inside the .exe. The exe code probably has some "smart" code meant to fix perceived problems, which instead ruined what I asked the exe to print on screen.

Your mod doesn't work in French, look at the problem on the pictures.

1 - Good with game English
2 - Bad with game French

3 - Good with game English
4 - Bad with game French

Are you saying that the city screen doesn't work when playing the game in french? That's utterly strange...
I'll look into it.

 

[EdenM]

Yes exactly, in French i'm not building in the city screen but in English everything works well.
Thanks !

Do you get any python errors in the pythonErr.log file?
In the top folder of C2C there should be a shortcut to the folder containing the logs.

To get pop-ups about python errors in-game you can in your %USER%\Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\CivilizationIV.ini
change this setting from 1 to 0 .
HidePythonExceptions = 0
The pop-ups will tell you what the error was whenever something is written into the PythonErr.log.

In BUG options, under the system tab, you can find an option for the level of python logging to the pythonDbg.log file.
Set it to the "Debug" level.
The pythonDbg.log file can help me understand what happened in code at the time the error occured.
But it is important that you alt+tab out of the game whenever you get a python error message and secure the pythonDbg.log (make a copy of it) file before doing anything else in your game, that way the last lines in the pythonDbg.log file is what happened in code right before the error message popped up.

The screen logging level is not important, I have it set at "Info". It shows python debugging info in the message window right below your research bar.

I found the language error, will fix it asap.
