Hello everyone. This is my first post here after lurking around for a while, so forgive me if I'm doing something wrong. Just thought I'd share a solution to a bug/glitch I was getting after re-installing most of my mods to civ v.
The problem was that the ynaemp setup screen was completely broken. Fields, droplists and basically everything was either missing or shown blank. I can't provide a screenshot of the view since I already fixed it and basically can't be arsed to rework my way to it being glitched just to grab a pic, sorry. But anyone with the same problem will definitely recognize what I'm talking about just by that description.
The solution is rather simple, but curious. I had worked my way to a pretty huge combo of mods that were working together via trial-and-error, and the combo was working perfectly for a long time. Some days ago I decided to update some of the mods, and basically also re-installed all my steam workshop mods, since that's easy. But something started to glitch the ynaemp setup screen, and I spent more time than I'm comfortable admitting on trying to fix it. I started disabling mods one-by-one, and surprisingly it turned out that JFD's exce was the one glitching the screen. I did not expect that, and it was one of the last mods I was disabling, since from the day one of my mod-installs the JFD mods were almost completely working together with ynaemp and the community patch bundle.
So, the fix: I updated the exce from v18 to v20 and it seems to be working, at least the setup page.
TL;DR: If someone happens to have the yanemp setup screen glitching out completely, check if your exce is still in version v18. Somehow it interferes with it.
OR
If you have a bunch of mods, maybe installing the advanced setup screen mod will help you too (refer to the edits on this post). For me, that seemed to fix the glitching problem with every mod I have. Updating exce only fixed it with nothing else enabled other than ynaemp, community patch bundle and exce itself.
I'm sorry that I can't provide any logs or anything of that sort. I'm not very tech-savvy myself, and don't know anything about any of those things. I just thought I'd share this since I was completely unable to play with mods because of this for a while, and thought it'd be nice if nobody else would have to go through that trial-by-error type of hunt for the problem.
Hopefully this helps someone!
EDIT: Nope, something else started messing the setup screen now that I'm re-enabling all my mods after I disabled them to find the problem. Seems like updating exce wasn't the complete solution, just fixed it with nothing else enabled but ynaemp, community patch bundle and the exce itself...... I don't get this. Seems like every mod I re-enable breaks the setups screen.
EDIT2: Wow, this is getting weirder by the minute. Continued re-enabling some of the mods after the earlier problemhunt, and realized this: All the mods do work with ynaemp now after re-downloading and enabling a mod I stopped using when I got addicted to ynaemp: The advanced setup menu mod. Somehow with that mod enabled everything in the ynaemp setup menu seems to be working again with any mods on... Now I don't know if this was implied somewhere in the thread (it's 112 pages... too tedious of a read), but I feel stupid right now. Please do forgive me if this is common knowledge.
EDIT3: Allright, so I've started a couple of perfectly working games with different conditions and bunches of mods on, and everything is now working 100%.
The setup screen glitch was completely eliminated (for me at least) by 1) updating exce and 2) installing a mod called advanced setup screen. I do not know why exactly this solves the problem, but I'm a simple man: if it works, it works. Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can figure out why this exactly is, or what caused the glitch in the first place. Or maybe it's already figured out somewhere buried in this thread... if that's the case, I'm sorry for doing a duplicate post of sorts.
EDIT4: By the way, if someone is curious as to what kind of bunch of mods I've got working for me, here's a list of the mods that are working together seamlessly (in case someone's thinking of getting a mod but can't find any info on whether or not it's compatible with ynaemp (and community patch)). I guess somebody could benefit from all the trial-and-error I've gone through, so maybe it'll make someone's life easier.
