(RFC3E) Bug Reports and Technical Issues

[voigt]

This is a separate thread to report bugs and issues with RFC3E.

In order to locate and fix problems, please use the following guidelines:

1. Indicate which version you're using, either the mod version number (see this post how to get it), or the last commit SHA (here's a tutorial how to find it with Github Desktop)
2. feel free to attach screenshots (use the SPOILER tag)
3. same for savegames
4. share the python traceback (if not displayed in screenshots), you'll need to activate the logging (see below)

To activate logging, open your Beyond the Sword folder and open the _Civ4Config link, then edit the following settings like this:

; Set to 1 for no python exception popups
HidePythonExceptions = 0
[...]
; Enable the logging system
LoggingEnabled = 1

That's the round church, no bugs there.

This should be fixed with the new commit c191b61bb924060e9358b6602476cd8628f3e713. Could you confirm that it works? Thanks!

when i try to pull after fetch, i get this msg:

 

[voigt]

@gilgames that's normal. You're trying to pull changes while you already have changes not commited (ie not apply in Git history).
You need to stash your changes first (the local ones), then pull the changes (from the remote so) and then restoring your local changes.
Unfortunately, the local changes are applied to the default config files.
Here's a tutorial to do this with Github desktop

Yep, seems to be fixed now.

Ok, so I sometimes check other civs spawn zone. Shift is the key for that, but for some reason it doesn't work in the RFC3E. Can you fix that?

Now, by default, the ability to display spawn and respawn areas by holding down the shift and alt keys respectively has been disabled. You can enable this by editing the GlobalDefines_Alt.xml file (see here).
I'm currently working on reimplementing the display of these in the WorldBuilder

The mod won't even start so I don't think there's a log. When the game is restarting after I select the mod I get a load error pop up that says: "GFC Error: failed to initialize the primary control theme"

I am using the steam version, I've tried with the original release version and the updated version.

Ok the problem is that in the manual download the mod folder is called RFCEurope-1.6.4 but in Resource/Civ4.thm the file path is RFCEurope/Resource/Themes/Civ4/Civ4Theme.thm. The mod folder should be renamed, the Civ4.thm path should be changed or a readme asking the user to change either of those names (folder name would probably be easier) should be added.

Exactly, the mod needs to be located in a folder named RFCEurope . I'll update the READMe. Btw, I recommend using the git version of the mod.

Does the issue still occur? If you do a git pull, do you still have this issue?

Hi!

I put the downloaded zip unpacked in my mod folder that is on drive C
I have the Steam Civ4 BTS on a different drive, drive G

When I try to run the mod it says
GFC Error: failed to initialize the primary control theme...

I feel lost

EDIT
I solved it - so you have to put the mod
into the "...steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword\Beyond the Sword\Mods" folder
- I hope this solution helps other players too...

Glad to hear you fixed the issue!

Ok, tiny problem. There supposed to be a city, but nothing, not even a ruin.
