[Religion and Revolution]: Bugs and Todos

[Sanotra]

Bummer. This problem is also around when I run the final version of TAC only the previous version of TAC works without the display problems.

 

[Sanotra]

Maybe I should uninstall TAC final, and see if RaR works still. Or uninstall everything but RaR.

Do you have a weak graphic card ?
(Maybe it is related to Religion and Revolution currently not using an FPK archive for graphics.)

What does TAC installation have to do with installation for Religion and Revolution ?
(I hope you did not install Religion and Revolution above TAC.)

 

[Sanotra]

I have a stock computer, but I've never considered it weak. Your Ameracya map loads very slowly though, and is unplayable. So maybe I am lacking in that department.

It is not necessarily your complete computer.
What are the specifications of your graphic card ?

Edit:
Did you have the same problems while using SVN revisions ?

 

[raystuttgart]

@Sanotra:

Maybe you should choose another resolution.
We (and TAC) have said many times, that the mod should not be played with extreme wide screen resolutions.
(Your screenshots look as if you were playing with wide screen resolutions.)

Sorry, I don't get the problem.
Nothing is blocked.
Import, Export, Domestic Market and Custom House all work perfectly for me.

I think he means that the domestic market and custom house buttons cover up parts of the list showing what is imported and exported.

Ah ok.
We will think about it.

Problems loading R&R saved games in multiplayer

Hi R+R whilst playing Direct IP connect multiplayer R&R, the saved games cannot be joined by the 2nd player. It says "connection attempt timed out" everytime.

Games may be started mulitplayer, but not loaded.
Do you know the reason for this and better yet... the solution?

Thankyou

 

[raystuttgart]

Do you know the reason for this and better yet... the solution?

I can olny guess.
But please check these things:

1. Do you have that problem with huge maps or with small maps as well ?
2. Did all of you install the mod into the installation directory of colonization under "/mods" and not in "My Games".
3. Did anyone of you modify something in our mod ?
4. Did you deactivate Firewalls and Virus Scanners ?
5. Did anyone of you rename the mod ?
6. Are you playing with strong machines or are they already relatively old ?

I reinstalled the game selecting English version only (without Polish fontc etc.) and everything looks good now. I don't have any problem with fonts anymore. I didn't change the language of the OS - it seems that it is not so important.
Thanks for your support

Hmm, that's interesting
I'm pretty sure I also installed only the english version of the game
Yet I cannot see correctly the characters which are different in the Latin-1 and Latin-2 char sets
My game is Latin-1 while the OS is Latin-2 (hungarian)
Are you sure it's the same for you?

I've Improved our Europe Screen.
First of all, I'd rather avoid reducing Ship Panel's length (see result in on the first screenshot !)
Then, unfortunately, there's a vertical scrollbar that appears (see screenshot number 2).
I've managed to hide it... Is that OK (see screenshot n°3). It's invisible, but it exists!

 

[raystuttgart]

The Screen looks good to me.
(Definitely better, than before when the ships were so high up there.)

First of all, I'd rather avoid reducing Ship Panel's length (see result in on the first screenshot !)

Ok, then let us not reduce the panel.
(I thought it was possible to have a shorter scrollbar without reducing the panel itself.)

Then, unfortunately, there's a vertical scrollbar that appears (see screenshot number 2).

I currently don't understand why there is a vertical scrollbar, so there is nothing I can say about that.

Why was there no vertical scrollbar before ?
Did you try to simply reduce the hight of the panel and simply postion it further down ?

I've managed to hide it... Is that OK (see screenshot n°3).

Well, if hiding the vertical scrollbar is the only possible solution, we simply have to go with that.

After you have uploaded it, I will also take a look.
(I am not as good as you with Screens, but maybe I will find something.)

But generally I think, that the Screen is ok now.

Yes, I'm sure
Do You have also Civilization 4 installed in Hungarian? I also reinstalled Civ4 without Polish language. During uninstalling I had to restart computer - I guess the Polish version was writing some fonts in system folder, and it seems like the Civ4 and Civ4Col are using the same font (both fonts had the same name). Maybe this font is still in Your OS because of Hungarian Civ4?

Actually this was a bug in Vanilla, that carried over to TAC and then to Religion and Revolution.
([OUR_EMPIRE] and [CT_EMPIRE] was messed up in some diplomacy texts.)

It is fixed now in the newest revision.

You are really a great tester.
Nobody ever noticed that error, that was even already present in Vanilla.

Just got lucky It's funny that I never saw that in Vanilla I guess French Colonies didn't have to beg for help before

Thanks for reply Ray. You really are my go to guy on all things Col lol. Truly valuable member to the COL community

Anyways now the situation is my buddy and I can start new r+r games, however cannot load saved games. Strange as it is!

Everytime, game fails to join host saying "the connection to the host has timed out"

Any ideas?
Thanks

 

[raystuttgart]

Any ideas?

I have understood, that you can start MP games with our mod but not load savegames of these MP games.
(I had understood that right away.)

You still have not answered my questions ...
(If you do, I might be smarter and might give better answers.)

 

[drwcody]

. Do you have that problem with huge maps or with small maps as well ?
so far large maps. Testing small now...

2. Did all of you install the mod into the installation directory of colonization under "/mods" and not in "My Games".

3. Did anyone of you modify something in our mod ?
no

4. Did you deactivate Firewalls and Virus Scanners ?

5. Did anyone of you rename the mod ?

all map sizes im afraid

Ok. What happens if you do the following:

1) Start a Single Player game with our mod.
2) Play a few rounds and save.
3) Exit the game (to desktop).
4) Start the game again.
5) Load our mod.

What happens if you then load the save from 2) ?
Will it directly load the save or will it reload the mod again (although you had already loaded it in step 5) before loading the save) ?

Please check that for all your systems.
(All people that want to participate in the MP game.)

Edit:
Have all players already loaded the mod before trying to join the MP savegame ?

Edit 2:
Also, please give me the exact numbers of the Windows Performance Index (processor, RAM, graphics for games, primary disc).
(For all systems that participate in the MP.)

 

[drwcody]

Single player works fine, and saved games can be loaded.


Using R+R, games may be started as usual
However no saved game may be joined.

Also when playing 2 player, if a player leaves the game, he may never re-join.

MY
PC = intel core i7 quad 960 @ 3.20 GHz

Friends PC a similar mac machine running Windows 7 using a client which is "VMware Fusion" His R+R works fine in solo player as well
