[SOLVED][GEM 1.7.9b] Borked Interface.

[Zealotus]

[SOLVED] Turns out the copy of GEM I had was somehow corrup... A fresh copy fixed this.

Short story: When starting a game with GEM activated the UI is borked up.
Now... I know what to do when adding/updating mods so don't even ask if I've cleared my cache or updated my game, because I have!

So here's the technicals:
NOTE: If this is not up to date I'd like to point out that I'm in EU if that matters.
Game version: 1.0.1.705

CivUP Version: 2.0.45
GEM Version: 1.7.9b

Other active mods:
InfoAddict (v19)
Colored Religion Icons (v3)
Custom Advanced Setup Screen (v5)
NOTE: All non-active mods were removed from the MODS folder!


I did start a game without GEM and everything was fine.
So what've I missed? Or is it currently broken?

Welcome to the forums Zealotus!

I'm investigating this right now.

Update: Could you describe the problem in more detail? I started a game and didn't notice anything obvious.

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

he should try deleting the cache and moduserdata methinks. that's likely to be the issue.

 

[mystikx21]

Did that. At least the cache part.

"do not ask if.....cleared my cache or updated my game, because I have!"

Maybe the moduserdata folder wasn't cleared, but it sounds doubtful that a step was missed or wasn't checked.

I haven't used those other mods to see if there's an incompatibility (I just use infoaddict), so that's a possibility, but a faint one if they worked before. Otherwise, yes. More details. Maybe more people have experienced it.

 

[lindanealmck]

When I started my last game yesterday, the diplomatic overview wasn't working (no civs met even though I had met 3) , but after a number of turns, it fixed itself. I could still trade with them until they became hostile. Mid-game, everything was fine, except for the wars and hostility.

 

[Zealotus]

Thanks for the welcome!

Okay so more specifically it's the tech tree and city view that is broken.
Possibly more, but I don't really get any further than that...

And by the way CivUP version got updated to 2.0.46 by steam, so I'm on that now.
And I also disabled all mods but CivUP and GEM too. Still the same issues with GEM.
Though the tooltip still says InfoAddict when hovering the turn counter...
Is there anywhere else this game keeps data? >.>;;

And yes, I include the ModUserData as part of my clear cache batch. In fact:

@ECHO OFF
RD Cache /Q /S
RD Logs /Q /S
RD ModUserData /Q /S

And I run this every time I touch my mods folder! So yeah... :S
I could zip the whole logs folder if need be, it should contain noting but logs from my last play session...

Anyway, including part of the Lua.log here since I find a lot of errors in it:

So, if not clearing cache and moduserdata, then what?
I am starting to feel stupid...

[EDIT] I'm trying this by starting a new game each time. So I'm not loading any exising game or anything.

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

it could be a conflict with either colored religions or the custom advanced setup screen. did you try with just civup+gem?

 

[Zealotus]

And I also disabled all mods but CivUP and GEM too. Still the same issues with GEM.

Yeah...

[EDIT] In lack of other solutions I'm reinstalling the bloody game... >.>;;

[UPDATE] So the game reinstall did nothing... But I redownloaded GEM and now it works... >.>;; Bloody hell!

 

[skodkim]

Ive been using Colored religions with gem/civup for a while without issues.

/skodkim

 

[Thalassicus]

I also use colored religions.

 

[Dunkah]

Same thing happened to me. Turned out I had an older copy of GEM in my mods folder. Downloading directly from the site doesn't cause the old version to get removed from the folder.

Didn't see anyone mention that yet.

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

could be, steam workshop is crappy like that.
