Quot Capita Purge Button Missing

[marsfire]

Playing Quot Capita ver 8.1 after clean install of Civ4 and BTS with latest patches

Purge non-state religion button does not appear for me but AI players purge non-state religions on regular basis. Causing great unbalance in otherwise a great mod. (in past games before upgrade to QC 8.1 Purge button worked)

After reading all the files in QC I backtracked thru BTS and BTS/CvGameCoreDLL/Log showed

4050.890 ERR: InitWinApp ( ) Failed
4050.921 ERR CIV INIT FAILED


Loaded game with debug option and got the following log msg

18:00:20 DEBUG: BugEventManager - adding event 'playerRevolution'
18:00:20 DEBUG: BugInit - game not fully initialized
PY:OnInit

Appears that failure in BTS load effects Quot Capita mod's missing purge button

How can I fix without losing current game?

Those logs have nothing to do with the problem you are experiencing. Now, I must ask, is Quot Capita using the Inquisition ability from RevDCM, or from OrionVetern. They are two very different mods, but have similar functionalities.

Assuming you are using the RevDCM based Inquisitions (Which I coded, FYI) - check that you are using Theocracy, or whatever civic is said to allow inquisitions, and that you have no civics that directly disallow inquisitions. Also check that you are not trying to purge a holy city, or that the city in question has more than 1 religion in it. (You can't purge religions from a city if you don't have your state religion in it).

Specific details about your situation with screenshots would be invaluable. The problem, if there is one, lies in the Source Code, so logs will not tell you anything useful.

Afforess CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE

Thanks for replying, the missing purge button has plagued me for almost 3 months after I updated QC to version 8.1.

(per d/l page) Quot Capita ver 8.1 uses Revolution DCM for BTS v2.8 Beta(revision 522) RCM Team

Civics are Theocracy and Inquisitions are Enabled. State Religion is Confucianism.

Purge Target city is Alexandria (see attached screenshot) with State Religion and non-state religion of Christianity. Revolt index is @885 but has been as high as 1100.

Per event viewer -- rival civs have purged thie non-state religions.

Please help -- I love the game but ...........

Here's how to fix it.

The problem is something to do with Civ4MissionInfos.xml (the one in under "Quot Capita\Assets\XML\Units\" in your mods directory, of course.) I don't know exactly why, but for some reason the game stops processing this file before the end. Either it's too long, or there's an issue with one of the entries in it.

In any case, I fixed the problem by editing that file and moving up the MISSION_INQUISITION section to just above the first added-in sentry action. ie, search for MISSION_INQUISITION, then cut that block -- everything from the <MissionInfo> tag preceding it to the </MissionInfo> tag after it, including those tags -- and paste it just above the line
<!-- Sentry Actions -->
Then save the file, restart Quot Capita, and it should work fine.

The (minimal) negative of this is that it seems you lose the added-in "Move to and sentry" action. Not a big loss IMO. That suggests to me that there's some limit to the number of missions the game will process, either in some other file someplace or hardcoded.

Quit playing QC three months ago since no one would help me. THANKS much for the fix.
