Jack over at RevDCM is helping with working out how people are managing to connect RevDCM in MP. I've not yet had the time to sort out the SVN side of things yet. Thanks for your help.

Eh Lemmy
Ok I think I have added you and given you permissions to update the SVN. The links to the SVN I think you already have. I suggest that you work in the branches/RevolutionMP area and allow me to port over the changes to RevDCM, but that is at your discretion. It would be great if eventually you can help work out why RevDCM only has a marginal chance at connecting in MP.
Cheers, thanks.

This is a report in the LoR bug reports thread. I hope it gives you guys some insight into what might be causing the issues in RevDCM with the icons and crashing on connecting for some players:

Have you done any changes to RevolutionMP since you posted RevolutionMP.rar on this forum Lemmy? I might add those changes to the SVN and do some MP testing. Phungus may have a good clue going there as well....

Ok Lemmy, I'll add that to the SVN (you don't have to do that) and I'll test it on three machines.

Woww get out of here man would you thank that person on your forum for conducting the experiment with custom assets!!!!!! Do me a favour and buy him a beer would you?
Delete all the crap inside customassets and RevDCM connects perfectly in MP! Once RevDCM fires up, it lays all that crap back into custom assets but from then on connects perfectly and plays through turns fine! This is a world first for me. For my simple mind, this news simply blows it bang!
We are soooooo close to RevDCM in MP now, it is not funny. If Lemmy's code changes work including autoplayMP (as well as his ideas on 32bit v 64bit), we will be so close to the top of the mountain, a couple of ice picks and an oxygen tank, wait for the weather to clear and we will make it to the top of this mod.
Cheers, woooooeeee.

hey man - Glad to be of help.
I noticed that the problem had persisted across a system reformat, and it hit me that the only thing in common between the two installations was that I had backed up my BTS directory in my user account's Documents folder. So I fired up Process Monitor, filtered all file I/O that civ4 did in the Documents folder, and saw that it did a ton of scanning in the CustomAssets directory. One thing led to another and suddenly LoR started working in MP. Pretty lucky chain of events that got me there but I'm happy it was useful for you guys.
Keep up the good work!

Hiya, the DLL code isn't in that version I posted before just the DLL and python/xml. The DLL contains a bunch of fixes for the autoplay MP. Here is the code (in a misspelt rarred filename, whoops)
http://theindiestone.com/lemmyandbinky.com/RecMPDLL.rar
re: SVN I'm gonna need to read up before I do any uploading. Still not sure how you handle file differencing in SVN. In Perforce I check in and then get my merge app automatically load with the two files, so I can merge differences in. So don't wanna do it till I have the time to figure it all out properly lest I screw up your codebase somehow
also awesome work lordmyst!

@LordMyst
Really well thought out LordMyst. Yeah that process monitor idea was awesome. Thanks for the link to that process monitor. Very useful. You would appreciate what Lemmy did with his virtual PC then!
@Lemmy
Yeah I had the same issue at the start with SVN as well. I take it you have TortoiseSVN downloaded. The entire interface to Tortoise is right clicking in any explorer window. Hit SVN "checkout" with the address of the SVN repository: https://revolutiondcm.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/revolutiondcm/branches/RevolutionMP (double check that by right clicking TortoiseSVN/repo browser). Once it's checkout you have a local copy that you can modify or merge with a tool like winmerge. You can move that local copy anywhere you want on your machine and even run the build straight from that local copy. When you are happy, you right click on the local and commit the changes to the SVN with a short comment. Then your local copy matches the SVN and Tortoise will let you know if the copies are identical or not. If you screw it up for any reason, because of versioning, everthing is traceable and recovereable in SVN.
But for now, don't bother with any of that. I'll update my local copy of RevolutionMP, test it and commit it to the SVN next day or two.
Thanks for posting those DLL changes much appreciated

great stuff Lemmy just fired up your changes on two PC's man if I could reach through the screen I'd hand you a beer right now That autoplay MP code is very nice so far and brings a smile to my nerdy face. Cool.
Both you and LordMyst are gunna get huge credits in the RevDCM documentation once MP is fixed. If nothing else once this mod bites the dust to Civ5, at least your aliases will be immortalised on a some dozen harddisks around the world Not much I know, but at least it's something.
Now to increase the complexity and try three pc's. I expect mayhem but who knows.
Cheers

Not a problem. I'm just gonna make sure I'm about from the off on Civ5 and don't miss all the modding action this time around 
I posted an alpha of the stuff I've been working on. Bit rough around the edges at the mo but entirely possible I've missed the boat on this one a little

Ok well three pc's on autoplay does work no question. There was an OOS within a hundred turns though. No worry, we will see.
Basically this error on all three pc's:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "CvEventInterface", line 30, in onEvent
File "CvCustomEventManager", line 143, in handleEvent
File "CvCustomEventManager", line 154, in _handleDefaultEvent
File "Revolution", line 6899, in onModNetMessage
File "Revolution", line 4859, in revolutionNetworkPopupHandler
KeyError: 2
ERR: Python function onEvent failed, module CvEventInterface

Only difference is that on one pc we have KeyError: 1 and on the other two pc's we have KeyError: 2

Temporarily stumped. I was expecting to see that the debug logs would be identical except for the entries just prior to the error. In fact:
debug log host -> pc2 (very similar)
host -> pc3 (very divergent)
pc2->pc3 (very divergent)
Particularly curious is this entry that only appears in one log at turn 69:
PY:Refortifying units for player 2
Yes, there is more work to do, but at least there is promise. I'll experiment more with two player direct IP and see if any OOS's turn up in this simple case, that might snowball on three player lan.

Have you heard about OOSLogger python module? I have such in RoM and it basically records stats of each players and writes them to log files in BtS folder and then you can compare the logs with winmerge. I've attached the python module to this post. You'll have to edit one of the eventmanagers and add the following lines there:
At the start of eventmanager file:
the trigger code to 'def __init__(self, eventManager):' function (use whatever eventmanager you got in the mod):
and the actually function call:
Yesterday I tested it in RoM with AI autoplay and it did record everything so I think it should work with RevDCM as well. The original code is from some other modpack - been too long so don't remember which mod had this nice module (Planetfall or FFH?). It doesn't record revdcm specific things so those you would have to add by yourself to the module.

Awesome stuff. I have something similar I used which records all the components that make up the sync CRC to see which is causing it, is this more comprehensive than that?
glider, I'm due another crack at RevMP soon, just been a busy bee with work stuff the past week (and also a bit o work on me mod ;D

OOSLogger logs look like this (infos from my mod):
Had to shorten the log a bit to fit it in single message.. basically the log contains infos from all players, not just one like above and you'll get log from each player so you can compare them with winmerge.
Spoiler :
