Hi @konq I saw your review on my naval pillage mod, so its just not working at all? Did you include the mod midgame, or did you have it on from the start?

Also, does pillaging always not show up, or just sometimes? There seems to be another bug in the base game where the coastal pillage button only shows if you are on top of a pillagable tile.

If not, hmm, I might ask for your save file and possibly a file that gets generated when you start the game.

Hi @Smayo, thanks for checking in!
I enabled the mod in the middle of the game. I haven't tried a new game yet to see if it works when starting from the beginning of the age.
There's tons of naval units on and near pillage-able tiles but I couldn't get the pillage button to come back at any point. I finished the age with tons of opportunities to pillage with naval units and none of them could pillage.

I'll attach a save file where you can test. Which other file do you need?

 

[Smayo]

Ah thanks, I’ll have a look!
The other one is a little harder to find but is useful so I can know what mods were on, and the exact state of your game. It should be at Logs/gameplay-copy.sqlite in the same folder where your Mods folder is and gets regenerated any time you load into a game. If you could load into the game, then send that file over.

If the file isn’t getting generated, you might need to mess around with the file AppOptions.txt . There should be a line in there saying
“; CopyDatabasesToDisk 0”

Remove the semi colon at the start and set the 0 to 1.

the naval pillage mod has the "affects saved games" flag set, which means that you can't add or remove it mid-game. if you enable the mod, the game will ignore it until you start a new game or cross an age transition, and once it's attached to a saved game you can't remove it.

Hi @beezany thanks for the details. So it sounds like nothing can enable it mid-game. Fair enough, I really appreciate the confirmation.

@Smayo in light of this I won't trouble you further with any other log files unless you still think its necessary. thanks again for the mod and your support!

 

[beezany]

there are ways to override the setting, but it wouldn't help in this case because the fix doesn't work retroactively, only if you install it before researching Shipbuilding II. (lots of game data changes are like that, which is why they set the flag. it keeps your game from ending up in a weird state.) if you leave the mod enabled, it should work on your next game, as long as you aren't in the Exploration age yet.

Hi all - Thanks so much for these awesome mods! The exploration age pillaging with navel units is now working fine for me, but I am still experiencing the issue where my fleet commanders lose movement points after researching Shipbuilding II. For example just now as Chola in a game in the current 1.2.1 version, I went from 7 to 3 on units with the Ottru fleet commander. I can't believe Firaxis hasn't fixed this yet after so many patches, it was reported by many users so long ago! Any ideas on ways I can fix this if Firaxis won't?

 

[beezany]

the Ottru has a different unit type than other fleet commanders, which isn't compatible with the Naval Pillage Bugfix mod. @Smayo fixed that later in the Community Bugfixes Extended mod, although that mod needs an update & may cause other problems. and unfortunately the fixes aren't retroactive, so you'd need to go back to a save before researching Shipbuilding II.

Hi, thanks so much! I did just install the Community Bugfixes Extended mod, and went back to a save before I got Shipbuilding II. Sadly, this same thing still happened when I got Shipbuilding II again.

hmm, I just saw your comment, I would expect it to work if its before you got Shipbuilding II. I will have a dig around now to see if its needs changed. Would you mind sharing your save?

Hi, I have attached here a save game from before I researched Shipbuilding II. Do you need a save file from after I got Shipbuilding II? Thanks so much!!
