Hambil · May 4, 2013

Did you follow the instructions for making CSD work with GEM? CSD adds a lot of items to the tech tree which is why I ask.

Hambil · May 4, 2013

Also, and I could be wrong, but I think RED and Whoward's dll aren't going to play together. Unless this is a different RED that isn't also a DLL mod.

whoward69 · May 5, 2013

These three have been added (and then modified) into CivUP/GEM so I'd be amazed if they worked with it

UI - Condensed Promotions (GK) v5
UI - Promotion Tree v10
UI - Trade Opportunities v21

And I believe CivUP uses an alpaca/sneaks version of the notification code so this one almost certainly doesn't work.

UI - Notification Options (GK) v5

The missing slider is a function of the Classical Era banner still being half way down the screen. Enable logging and check the Lua.log file as something is causing a runtime Lua error

ERLoft · May 5, 2013

Thanks for the replies! I did have RED and Whoward's DLL working together fine without CivUP and GEM, so I don't think that's an issue.

I actually was unaware of the CSD instructions. I'll check those out.

Thanks Whoward - I will disable those particular mods of yours.

I'll report back after I make the changes with the results.

Do you happen to have a link to these instructions? I'm having a hell of a time finding them...

It's at the top of the GEM_Options.sql file:

Code:

/*

You can change most options in this file at any time, unless indicated otherwise.
Changes take effect the next time you start or load a game with CiVUP/VEM.

For example, if you are using the "Citystate Diplomacy" mod change the lines that read:

	INSERT INTO Civup (Type, Value)
	VALUES ('USING_CSD', 0);

...change to...

	INSERT INTO Civup (Type, Value)
	VALUES ('USING_CSD', 1);

Then start a new game.

*/


-------------
-- Options --
-------------


/*
CityState Diplomacy Mod Compatibility
Change this ONLY before starting a game, NOT mid-game.
0 = not using CSD and VEM
1 = using CSD and VEM
*/
INSERT INTO Civup (Type, Value)
VALUES ('USING_CSD', 0);

Thanks - edited that, disabled the mods suggested by Whoward, but the problem with the tech tree persists. Oh well, guess I'll just live with it. If anyone has any other suggestions though, I'm definitely open.

FYI, Hambil, based on the version number, ERLoft is referring to "R.E.D. Modpack," which only provides additional unit models. "R.E.D. World War II Edition" is a total conversion mod with DLL modifications.

Good to know!

ERLoft, you might wanna post your Lua.log (do it in a pastebin).

To get to Lua.log, MyGames/Civilization V -> config.ini: change "EnableLogging = 0" to "EnableLogging = 1". Then open up the game, reproduce the error, and open MyGames/Civilization V/Logs -> Lua.log

Hmmmm.... What to do about that?

Putmalk · May 5, 2013

It's not my mod. :lol:

That's the information that the mod creator has to use to figure out the issue. I have my own mod to debug. :cool:

Don't assume there isn't relevant information within the rest of the log. Everything helps a mod designer.

But that's what's causing your tech tree to fail. It's not finding the button for that tech, for some reason.

mystikx21 · May 6, 2013

Looking at the screen cap, I don't see "Training" listed at all as an ancient era tech. That was added in GEM, I believe as a tier 1 tech.

That's one as not having a tech show up could pretty easily break the tree.

I'd definitely post the rest of the log (as an attachment if possible). Those are indeed, relevant errors, but as Putmalk said, it's not necessarily so that there aren't other relevant issues that could identify the source of the conflict or problem.

ERLoft · May 6, 2013

I'll do a fresh log tonight when I get home for going straight into a saved game and going directly to the tech tree so there's not any extraneous stuff.

Thanks for the help!

vyyt · May 6, 2013

ERLoft, have you tried starting a new game with only CivUP and GEM activated (= without all the other MODs)? If the tech tree is still messed up, then it would indicate that your CivUP / GEM installation is corrupt.

I vaguely recall I have seen something similar myself long time ago and I think what helped was deleting the cache and ModUserData folder contents and then reinstalling CivUP and GEM. Sorry I cannot remember well, maybe I also had to disable some other MODs.

Good luck!

ERLoft · May 6, 2013

Nope, haven't tried just the two Communitas mods yet. I do delete the cache files each time I change which mods are loaded, just in case, as a regular practice.

I'll try a game with just CivUP and GEM to see what happens tonight.

Hambil · May 6, 2013

GEM is twitchy in this area. I remember just adding just wonders, and I had to add them one at a time to determine which ones broke the tech tree and which ones didn't. So don't discount any mod as a potential problem IMHO. GEM and CivUp contain a lot of functionality and therefore I assume modify a lot of ingame ui files so since many mods don't say they modify ingame files or what ones, you can't depend on there not being a problem even if the two mods logically seem like they would work together.

Isolated the problem to the Improvements - Airfield mod. Pretty tedious process - started with 4 core mods, added 1-2 more mods and started a new game until I found which one broke it. Loaded all the other mods and everything works fine.

I'm going to PM whoward to let him know - maybe he can find a fix for the Airfield mod...
