Rise of Mankind 2.9 feedback and bug reports

[vincentz]

Just a couple more suggestions :
Stone seems to clutter. Trying to start a couple of games I noticed that often the first city would have 3-4 stones within the cultural border.
Spirtual Trait are pointless unless you play on Marathon Speed+. On normal/epic the max turns of anarchy would very rarely exceed 2 turns, and the half production of temples is a very weak boost.
My suggestion is to have 0 turns of anarchy and +100% on all spiritual buildings.

0 turn was overpowered hence the reason why it was changed to 2.

 

[vincentz]

I don't understand why 0 is overpowering. But it might just be my playing style. I rarely change civics which means that in an entire game it would only be a couple of turns of production/research. Compared to the bonuses some of the other traits give, I'd still say 0 turn anarchy would be underpowered, hence the suggestion to give 100% production to all spirtual buildings.

I ve installed Rise of Mankind 2.9 and A new Dawn 1.7. Local playing works just fine even though each round is really slow but i think this is because Civ4 is always slow after a couple of rounds. But playing multiplayer -> Direct IP connection gives me and my friend always this error:

Error in gameUpdate event Handler bound method RoMEventManager.oGameUpdate of <RoMEventManager instance at 0x51A23F58

and we are directly after the first round out of sync. This happens every game.

Any ideas?

Thanks

@doom4

I think it probably was the OOSLogger that wasn't functioning correctly - I've fixed it for v2.91.

 

[ctarhan]

I am having this error in everygame I played after 100-200 turns. I can't load saves either after this error. What is the problem please help. I take this error without and with a new dawn modmod, so it isn'nt because of his modmod. I deleted and installed 2.90 3 times but nothing changed. I had'nt any error with 2.81 before.

@Zappara, in RoM 2_9 holy shrine movies are playing even though they are not wonders in RoM. This is a good thing. Did you code for this and if so where did you code it because in the RoM 2.9 mod AND 1.7 these movies (and the national wonder ones) are not playing. This means that there is a big difference in the two at least in my view.

Not yet released. Should be out in couple days - depends when I get my hands on new RevDCM release (need to merge it).

There's MovieMod.py file in RoM 2.9. It's BUG mod's new feature, similar what was before in RoMEventManager.

Does RoM (or AND?) alter the vanilla quests in any way? I have the Mining Inc. HQ in my capital, and recently started spreading it to my own cities. Apparently tho the Sumerian civ had received (and now finished) the quest below, even tho they had just one city with Mining Inc.

As far as I could tell, THEY got the reward for quest completion as well (the quest completion exclamation was targeted at my capital, but no change in ), which is a bit crappy...

Quest17:
Corporate Expansion
Prereq: own a corporate HQ
Obsolete: None
Active/Weight: 70/200
Aim:
spread the corporation to default number of players for this world size +1 cities (that did not have it when the quest was triggered) (8 for standard)
Result:
1.+10 gold for the corporate HQ

Hi Everyone!

I have ROM 2.9 / AND installed, my two favorite mods

After playing 6 games, i am never able to play much of or past the rifling technology area of time due to the game freezing on me. The game always freezes somewhere near rifling tech for some reason.

i have the following specs on my comp:

Windows XP 32-bit
Core 2 duo E7400 2.8GHz
3GB DDR2 RAM
512MB Nvidia 8800 GT

Drivers are up to date

log files the AND log file and a few save games from my game are attached!

The quicksave is right before the freeze and the other saves are several turns prior to the freezing event.

 

[duraknots]

Oh the map size is standard and is an archipelago type with snaky continents.

any mirrors?
.7z and .rar files always create an error on my computer (the free extractor i use doesn't support 7z or rar files so cant extract after downloading, i looked for a better extractor and couldn't find any good free ones that are good.), so is there anyway u could change it to a .zip file.
Thank you

Why not download 7zip? It works very well.

The same attached files from above are zipped in .zip format now

BUG: Issue with alt/ctrl+x for strategy overlay. Several people have already posted it herein.

PROBLEM: Missing CvScreenUtilsInterface.py

FIX:

1. add file to C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Rise of Mankind\Assets\Python\EntryPoints called CvScreenUtilsInterface.py

2. in that file put the following text:

# Sid Meier's Civilization 4
# Copyright Firaxis Games 2005
#
# CvScreenUtilsInterface.py
#
# * This file stores the version of CvScreenUtils that is active
# * It is called from CvScreensInterface
# * When modding, this file should be replaced with one that has
# screenUtils pointing to the mods <Mod>ScreenUtils
#
# No other modules should import this
#
#######################################
## Strategy Overlay Changed 10/20/2008
##
## Changed import to import CvOverlayScreenUtils
## Changed normalScreenUtils to return the CvOverlayScreenUtils class
## Placed in CustomAssets/Python/EntryPoints for bug mod use
##########################################

import CvOverlayScreenUtils

normalScreenUtils = CvOverlayScreenUtils.CvOverlayScreenUtils()

def getScreenUtils():
return normalScreenUtils

 

[zappara]

Bug with StrategyOverlay is on the fixed list in v2.91. Thanks anyway for posting that info.

This patch doesn't fix couple RevDCM specific bugs since they haven't released a new version yet so those fixes will have to wait merge opearation to v2.92 patch.

 

[Nemo]

Sorry I was a bit slow on that last fix for you , I was hoping to help give back to you since you've put so much time and effort into such a great mod!

Thanks for the patch release!

I didn't see this one listed in the release notes, so...I have also been experiencing the random crash every few turns that other have been experiencing. Mine appears to have something to do with memory allocation possibly a bad pointer or something since it is not a max RAM issue, as I am utilizing around 768MB or so but have windows XP (32bit) maxed at 3.5GB(usable)/4GB(actual). Thus, plenty of free RAM.

I have attached the saved game and a debug shot from VS.NET on the error break point. I'm ignorantly guessing that it might be coming in from the modified CivGameCoreDLL? If that is where you think it might be coming in from too, if you have the source and headers for the modified .dll, I can help troubleshoot and maybe fix if I can.

Silly little thing...

The Nemoy quote/Text quote for mining don't match
