The Test of Time 1003

[Horem]

I just did 3 test starting in atomic era, all started fine, this was without YnAMP, your crashes are probably due to a conflict.

When is this mod going to be compatible with ynamp? Mod great as this one must have great earth maps.
I updated the game, turned on tot and ynamp, started in atomic era, played more than 200 moves and now game is constantly crashing. It is 1952 year and there is fifth war going on, this time against Cleopatra.
Any advice what should I do?

EDIT: 23:40
Immediately after message that Rome pillaged souq with submarine game crash.

Any chance you can post your logs?

First, I LOVE this mod! It not only increases the amount of stuff to build, which is my primary joy in Civ games, but the pacing is GREAT! Spending an hour or more in a certain era while being able to produce units and buildings in a reasonable time is fantastic!

So far, my only issue, which has been pointed out further up the thread, is an EXTREME slow-down around turn 300. It gets so bad that any action which seems to "delete" a unit can take 20-30 seconds. Upgrading, using a builder or GP's last action, killing a unit, etc...
Also, the slow-down happens during the AI turns and I think it may be related to the effects above. Plus, when my turn starts again, my character's portrait will be active but I won't actually be able to begin my turn for another 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

Otherwise, Horem, EXCELLENT job! I was waiting for something like this to drop and you and yours did so before Fraxis even released the mod tools! Kudos!

If you need anything from me to try and track down the performance issue, just let me know!

Hmm, I regulary play 600-700 turn games, not noticed slow downs. Find it odd that some people are tbh. Posting logs of you games will help.

 

[inauxas]

Sure thing Horem. Where do I find the logs, or more specifically, which log(s) do you need?

Ditto inauxas -- what logs? I am going to run an autoplay tonight with my graphics settings turned to minimum and will log. The graphic settings shouldn't matter, but it really does grind down hard around turn 300 with just this mod (beta 1004 as well as full version 1003) and the autoplay .3 as the only mods running.

Horem -- log files thru turn 325. All autoplay using Autoplay .3. Human player was Spain, overrun by Poland. Constant war not enabled. Time between turns now averaging over 100 seconds. Small map -- slug pace. Only mods are ToT and Autoplay .3

Hordes of units everywhere which I think is driving the processing time way way up.

To put in perspective -- took 8minutes47seconds to get to first 100 turns
took 16minutes44seconds to get to first 150 turns
took 41minutes49seconds to get to first 225 turns
took 2hours41minutes51seconds to get to turn 325

on the AI benchmark, my average generally is 27-29seconds per turn.

Here is the latest autosave as well.

Happy to run more autoplays if it would help you figure this out. Mod concept is very good, and I have seen the AI repair districts, which is a huge plus as well.

 

[ggalindo001]

Horem -- log files now through turn 660.

Latest autosave:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/4bjizeagl3yo331/AutoSave_0660.Civ6Save?dl=0

Turn times well over 2minutes long.

I went ahead and reloaded at turn 660, but this time with video settings at minimum. Turn times are drastically improving -- averaging now about 1 minute. Will let it run a bit longer to see if this holds up.

I would not have thought on autoplay that the video settings would have made that dramatic of a difference.

 

[ggalindo001]

Last update -- log files now from turn 660-700.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/w950560xlmdm208/Logs thru turn 700.zip?dl=0

Autosave at turn 700:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/36cvntcicl17ja2/AutoSave_0700.Civ6Save?dl=0

Turn times back up to 2+ minutes long, even with video settings at minimum. I wonder if the slowdown is more around how Civ6 is managing memory. FWIW, I have 32G RAM. It took about 10 turns to get it from 1 minute to 2 and then stabilized there at around 2 minutes a turn.

Hope this helps -- I'm really thinking that the slowdowns are due to just the sheer volume of units and buildings, as well as trying to manage the map (even on small).

I might run a simulation tonight on a smaller sized map to see if there is something there of note.

I love this mod. Thought I try the beta ... I built Stonehenge and the splash wonder screen came up. When I exited the wonder movie screen, the screen is still washed out and I can't move any units or access the main interface, the other interfaces work though.

Are you using any UI mods with ToT? If you are you need to disable them.

Hi, Horem. First, I'm enjoying the game so far. Thank you. I just wanted to see if anyone's had reported not being able to load a game. I started a game last night with the following Mods:

Ai+
Chao Quick UI (I used this in another ToT game with YnAMP and it worked although in that game and in this one, I'm assuming that it didn't allow some screens to be closed at times without using ESC, but it had no other major effect)
Detailed Worlds (ended up choosing Middle East Map though)
DLC Aztec
DLC Poland
DLC Vikings
Historicity++
Larger Worlds 2.1 (ended up choosing Middle East Map though)
Middle East Map
Research Reminder (didn't see it worked, however)
Resource Tooltip
RomanBuzz Reports
Sink those Transports
TCS Buffed Resources 0.4
TCS Improved Water Yields 1.3
TCS More Themed Bonuses 1.2
TCS Omnibus Mod 1.2.3
Test of Time for AI+
Tomatekh's Historical Religions
Unit Report Screen

I played 60 turns and called a night. Then today, I tried to load it as "Resume Game" and it says it's loading the game and then goes back to the main menu. I tried loading it from an specific "Load Game Autosave" file, and it does the same. I've loaded other saved games, and they do load. Please, your help.

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

some of the mods you are using are redundant:

CQUI already includes the other UI mods you are using
Omnibus already includes the other TCS mods you're using
test of time is not compatible with omnibus, choose one or the other

 

[Horem]

No UI mods will work with Test of Time since I included most of NQUI into it in 1004. Detailed Worlds is also included. As Gekko says TCS Omnibus is incompatible.

I appreciate it.

I appreciate it.

Open test of time mod info. with notepad
After lines
<!-- Different parts of the mod -->
<Components>
<ImportFiles id="TOT_COMPONENT_IMPORT">
<Items>
Delete all lines with UI
for example
delete
<File>UI/Popups/BoostUnlockedPopup.lua</File>
....
....
...
<File>UI/UnitFlagManager.lua</File>
lines from 66 - 101

enable CQUI

Cqui is for me simplier and easier. Separate download without UI changes will be nice.

New MOAR units are out ver 7.1.
Will try to merge it to Your 1004 beta 4 .
I like mod very much.
