Troubleshooting and F.A.Q.

Is there a Quickload fix - some way to make it return to interpreting F8 & <Shift+F8> differently?

Whoops. I'll get that fixed in the next patch. If you want to fix it yourself in the meantime, in the file /History Rewritten/Assets/Python/CvEventManager.py, find line 265. Change this:

Code:

			# Tenets Advisor
			if theKey == int(InputTypes.KB_F8):
				CvScreensInterface.showTenetsScreen()
				return 1

to this:

Code:

			# Tenets Advisor
			if theKey == int(InputTypes.KB_F8) [COLOR="Red"]and not self.bShift[/COLOR]:
				CvScreensInterface.showTenetsScreen()
				return 1

Take care not to duplicate the ':'

Thanks, Xyth; that works.

And I see you already have a patch that might be a fix for my anarchy problem, but it breaks saves. I'll just go into the WB and make sure my neighbor is unable to screw me up by maliciously converting to my religion.

Me and my friend had been playing a multiplayer lan game together, but my friend (Not the host) cannot move, build a city, or do anything. The problem computer does have some memory problems. Please help.

And copious amounts of :badcomp:

isn't working either.

Apologies for the slow response, I've been ill. This sounds more like a generic multiplayer or connection problem than a HR problem. Do regular BTS multiplayer games work for your friend? Get him to have a look through his Logs folder, see if any error messages are being generated.

Hey, just a small glitch: the Egyptian Great Scientist in 1.22 is a big red dot. Besides that I love the updates! Thanks again!

New to mod for Civ4:bts. My wife and I have tried to play some multiplayer HR on a Mac LAN. Works well for a little while, then we start getting OOS errors. From that point, OOS happens frequently. We can't find the OOSLog.txt and MPLog.log files. Do we need to turn something "on" in order for the files to generate? (sorry if that's a stupid question)

Would love to try to give some help, as the mod seems pretty awesome. Thanks for making it Mac compatible!

In your ~/Documents/Civilization IV Beyond the Sword/CivilizationIV.ini file you need to enable the logging system and synchronization logging. Near the bottom of the file. Be sure to unhide Python Exceptions too (usually near line 100). With these set, MPLog.log should be generated in your logs folder (same location as .ini file), and OOSLog.txt should appear in the History Rewritten mod folder (after an OOS error has occurred).

Multiplayer may be a bit unstable at the moment, I wasn't able to test the most recent version in multiplayer thoroughly as I'd prefer before release. Your help solving these OOS quirks would be great, but since you're new to BTS mods, you might want to play a few single player games first. OOS errors are notoriously tricky to solve and take a lot of trial and error testing, for me and for you.

I see that it probably makes sense to play single player for now. However, we thought we'd try to generate a set of files for you using the instructions you provided, mostly to make sure we could. Made the following updates to these entries in the .ini:

LoggingEnabled = 1
SynchLog = 1
HidePythonExceptions = 0

When we got an OOS, we checked and didn't see either file (in the expected folders or with Spotlight search). So, I updated the following entries (kind of taking a shot in the dark, admittedly) to:

HAPDebugger = 1
MessageLog = 1

This allowed us to see a filed called "MPLog.txt" (not MPLog.log?) in the ~/Documents/Civilization IV Beyond the Sword/Logs folder after an OOS. Still no OOSLog.txt. Is there anything else I missed?

I don't want to waste your time. If it's just not going to work for us, that's fine. I'm not sure how much help our information would be anyway

Sorry for the slow response, has been an incredibly busy week/month. MPLog.txt is correct. OOSLog.txt should be appearing in the History Rewritten folder, but I've found that some OOS errors don't trigger it for some reason. If you still have them, send me a copy of MPLog.txt from both computers. Would be a great help.

sarkcin · Dec 15, 2014

Thanks for clarification. Just checked and don't seem to have saved the MPLog.txt files. Doh... I'll try to get some to you in the future (just had our first child on the 4th; so little time and energy

)

Hey Xyth,

im so excited to try your mod! Unfortunately when im in the starting menu i can see no text.
In the troubleshooting section it says its because its not english. So i changed my steam language to english, downloaded civ 4 bts again, in the hope that it would be english now. But it isnt.
When i google change game language steam, i just have to rightclick bts and go to the tab language, but it simply isnt there. I have other games, where it appears, but for civ i doesnt.
Can u help me?

You need to find the file CivilizationIV.ini, which on Windows is usually located in MyDocuments or MyGames somewhere. On OS X it's found in Documents. In this file you should find the following entry:

Code:

; English(0),French(1),German(2),Italian(3),Spanish(4) - Defaults to user-installed language
Language = 0

Set that to 0 and that should solve the issue.

Thx a lot, that worked

Have a nice new years eve!

Hi, this is a bug report. I discovered History Rewritten a week or two ago, and absolutely love it - it's breathed new life into an old favorite. Thanks so much for taking the (considerable) time to develop and support it!

That said, I'm at about 400 AD in my first game, and I'm getting frequent fatal game crashes requiring a restart of Civ. It started out infrequent, but has been getting worse - now I'm up to pretty much every other turn. Sometimes it crashes within one turn! I haven't noticed a pattern in what I'm doing when it happens - seems random, indeed even sometimes happens when just scrolling around the map!

It sounds a lot like the iMac 2008 issue you describe, but I'm running a 2013 Retina MBP (Yosemite)! I've attached my error logs, and an error report pasted below:

Spoiler :

dunkyboy · Jan 14, 2015

Quick update: I tried setting AudioEnable = 0 as per the iMac 2008 bug, and it definitely seems to have helped! I'm still getting crashes, but I'm getting a good 5-6 turns in before, and it now always seems to happen when I open a new screen (tech tree, government, that sort of thing), so might be a different issue?

It might be a memory problem. Sometimes MAFs crash without the MAF message popping up. What size map are you playing on and how many civs? I'm away on holiday till next week so I'm unable to look at the reports you've attached, just the one in spoiler tags.

Home now, and was able to look at the error logs you posted. Unfortunately they don't shed any more light on the issue. Are you able to post a saved game?

Psyluke · Jan 25, 2015

Playing the mod, I encountered two issues.

First: it seems that there are missing text lines for diplomacy, when I refuse to give a tribute to another civ. See this pic.

Second: my game came to an end because everything got stuck at a certain turn at "waiting for the other civilizations". I can use the interface but it seems that my next turn never comes. I'm attaching the savegame (zipped): just end the turn and this event should trigger.
