RifE 1.20 Bug Thread

[Vermicious Knid]

works for me

Hmmm. I'll download the release version then. Perhaps I have a buggy install.

 

[Schizoid]

1. Dispel magic seems to count ambition as a 'bad' effect for my units.

2. Was able to not only found a religion through tech as supposedly intolerant Kahd, but it also passively spread through the empire.

(the above two were before release patch E, so I'm not sure if they still exist)

3. Spring can upgrade plains further to grasslands and then to marshes, making nature III pointless.

 

[FireBlaze]

Ugh. Thought I fixed that one... Anyone else getting it?

Me. I'm missing like 20 xml files (so the pop ups tell me, at least).

1. That is odd... It shouldn't. I'll look at it.
2. This is a base FF bug. Intolerant doesn't function the way it claims.
3. I wouldn't say it's pointless, personally... Saves quite a bit of time. That said, it IS weaker now... What could we add to it? We can buff Vitalize, OR we can bring back 'Summon Guardian Vine' and have two Nature III spells.

That should not happen. Did you install FF first? Only thing I can think of that would cause entire files to be missing.

Well, I'm not sure if I had installed B, so then I did it, and reinstalled. That didn't work. And I've tried to reinstall at different mirrors. That didn't work. FF patch B, installed the full thing. So idk, I might try reinstalling FF tomorrow.

 

[Valkrionn]

Hmm... That's extremely odd. If it happens again, could you take screenshots of the messages?

Since you have to cast it the same number of times as spring, it doesn't really save any time. And with spring and scorch you can just spam adepts.

I changed Vitalize to affecting a larger area and having a casting delay to reduce micromanagement.

You could have the code if you want, it also makes the spell affected by spell extension and allows specific upgrades by civilization. Illians make Ice, Lizards make marsh...

But even without a casting delay, vitalize would be underpowered if spring and scorch can do everything vitalize can do 200 turns earlier without tying up archmages.

 

[Treason]

Was the issue with Minor leaders not gaining traits fixed, or do I need to edit the coding, as mentioned earlier in the thread? As it stands in my games, no minor leader can gain any trait, and they do not loose minor upon founding a fourth city.

Yes, post that code please.

I'm with Valkrionn on this one. We'll buff Nature 3 one way or another.

 

[KingKeeper]

Dont know if this is a Bug or if i missed something, but Bedouin-Workers cant build Farms on Floodplains. In Fact they cant build anything on Floodplains except Caravan Routes.
Makes Malakim Floodplains kinda weak ^^

Aight, reinstalling FF and FF+, with all patches, seemed to have fixed it. Dunno what was wrong though.

 

[odalrick]

Yes, post that code please.

My version of vitalize. The changes are:

1. Vitalize affects a larger area. 1 radius base, +1 each for Spell Extension I and II.
2. Civs can have specific upgrades. Illians make everything snow; lizards upgrade grassland to marsh for instance.
3. Ocean is upgraded to coast.
4. Cities on grassland hills become plains hills.
5. A companion spell quickly makes grassland to plains, for those times you prefer plains.

Also, I don't think it's a change; floodplains become normal plains.

The important part of the xml is that the companion spell is human only and may be cast any number of times per turn. And obviously the PyResult and PyRequirement needs to be adapted to the code.

Was the issue with Minor leaders not gaining traits fixed, or do I need to edit the coding, as mentioned earlier in the thread? As it stands in my games, no minor leader can gain any trait, and they do not loose minor upon founding a fourth city.

It was fixed for the first version in a quickfix, which has been included in the new download.... I no longer have the quickfix, so I'd suggest redownloading the installer.

Dont know if this is a Bug or if i missed something, but Bedouin-Workers cant build Farms on Floodplains. In Fact they cant build anything on Floodplains except Caravan Routes.
Makes Malakim Floodplains kinda weak ^^

They can't build towns on floodplains? They were able to before patch E, and I didn't touch it... Maybe something changed in FF?

Aight, reinstalling FF and FF+, with all patches, seemed to have fixed it. Dunno what was wrong though.

That's good, had me worried there.

The important part of the xml is that the companion spell is human only and may be cast any number of times per turn. And obviously the PyResult and PyRequirement needs to be adapted to the code.

Sounds good. The only thing I'm unsure of is the Ocean to Coast upgrade.

Sounds good. The only thing I'm unsure of is the Ocean to Coast upgrade.

It's trivial to remove, but it's also fairly obscure. Vitalize can only be cast on land, so you'd need spell extension to reach it. Even then it needs to be inside cultural borders.

Mostly it's there to make +3 radius cities slightly more worthwhile on the coast.

Hmm... Put that way it doesn't sound bad. The Lanun would love it, assuming they get the Slums. The Kuriotates *will* love it, next major version... Normal fishing boats will work the way the Jotnar's do.

I'll put this in an addon for now... Technically, a modmodmodmod?

When Mechanos warriors upgrade up the mele line, they keep their -1 atk nerf. A prereq of Warior needs to be added to the effect prom

 

[Valkrionn]

I was under the impression that it already had it... Think I left off mustmaintain though, that would cause it to be kept when you upgrade.

Edit: Yep, left off mustmaintain. Got it fixed.

There's a new 'addon' attached to the first post of the Download thread, Vitalize 2.0. Basically, Odalrick's Vitalize code... Vastly improves Vitalize, and makes it desirable even though Spring/Scorch can now essentially upgrade/downgrade all terrain. For full details, go here.

One warning: Not entirely sure it'll work correctly, I just copied/pasted Odalrick's python. There are a few methods he used I'm not too familiar with, so if I have to do anything more I'll have to write it from scratch, or bug him with questions.

Expect to see more addons like this... They're a good way test out any future changes, and get them reasonably balanced without annoying those who don't want to be testers. The next ones will most likely be modular, however, so there won't be many downloads... Even python can be done 'modularly'... All you need for that is to get the people in charge of the main mod to include your code, with a check for a spell/building/unit/whatever that you add. Since we're the ones in charge of the code, that's rather easy.




Also, went ahead and included the Mechanos WarriorNerf promotion fix.

And Odalrick, did you have a name in mind for the 'Vitalize Companion' spell? I went ahead and named it Drought, as that fits for converting Grasslands to Plains. Or at least, fits better than my other thoughts.

Jotnar wild trolls are bugged. If a citizen is upgraded to one before hunting it has the regular stats, but when I researched hunting; the troll went up to the 4/4 strength a regular hunter would have, went to two movement points, and had the invisible promo that doesnt let thralls attack units. The trolls i upgraded after hunting had the stats as above, minus the no attack promo.

lanun have 2 mobility promos leading to 5+ move workers and 3 move warriors
