[UI MOD] Light Touch: Worker Automation, Unit Control Functionality

Hi dear civ fanatics :)

I'm back after a long period of time that I was busy with other commitments and didn't have time to play or mod civ 5. I'm back for now, and will do my best to keep LightTouch up to date. The new updated version is attached to the OP. It's now compatible with latest patches of both Vanilla and Gods and Kings.

The bug with units moving at the beginning of turn seems to persist, and has to do with the way the end-of-turn condition is identified by the game engine.

Please, report any bugs and enjoy the mod.

Welcome back as the Light touch mod has been missed for a long time! Good thing is with the last update its still playing nice.
 
subscribed on Steam. Is there some way to tell if the MOD has been applied? I activated the MOD, started a game, but don't see anything different.

Okay, just realized that I have to click the little circle to the right to enable the MOD, which I did. Still no joy. Loaded a previously saved game and no joy.

Some of the DLC games say that they vitiate all other mods. But those mods are not enabled.

what i am doing wrong?
 
hey so this looks great! how compatible is this with Thal's Unofficial Patch?

Thank you. It's fully compatible afaik. Edit: it seems to work together in G&K, but not vanilla. Both mods share files. I am working on making it compatible.

After you visit the mods menu (where you set those green circles), you have to press "NEXT" button below (not "BACK"). It will show you the list of mods enabled, and there will be a menu for Single Player. You have to use this menu for creating and loading games as long as you use mods, not the Main Menu of the game.
 
So the problem I'm having is that when I select the worker and right click on the city, the worker just walks into the city and no menu pops up.

You've got to launch a game via the mods screen.

haha Okay lets try this again but this time please assume I'm semi competent. The mod is downloaded and loaded. So how do I configure it to work if its not working for me or seemingly not working?

I'm running CiVUP, Light Touch, Infoaddict and thats it.

That was the mistake I made.

Other than launching via the mods screen I don't know how to help you.

It should work with those three (make sure LT and CivUP are most recent versions). Try LT by itself and see if it works.

If it doesn't: open Steam, go to View/Tools, download Sid Meier's Civ 5 SDK, run FireTuner which comes with SDK. FireTuner has an black output console ("lua console"). Have FireTuner running while you load or create a game. Copy the console output and give me to take a look.

Will do. Thanks Redox.

edit1: Ok so running by itself, it worked great. I could configure it from clicking on Light Touch Options in the diplo drop down menu and the mod worked great

but when running just Unofficial patch v. 25 and Infoaddict v. 19, there is no mention of Light Touch in the diplo drop down menu, mod doesnt work and in the in-game menu (when you click esc on the keyboard) there is no "Load Game" option (last one I'm not sure is connected.

I think its the update to CiVUP v. 25 thats the problem, as it ran fine with just Infoaddict running but wouldn't run with CiVUP v.25 being the only other mod.

Did the bugfixes Thal did to CivUP ruin the compadability? Or is it just me? Thanks!

also- I was running one other mod called City Limits but it seems compatible.

edit2: cleared my cache and moduserdata and now everything seems to be working fine :D thanks anyway reddox! (Also seems that CiVUP is the culprit behind my Load Game option missing from the in-game menu)
 
I was able to reproduce your bug with the newest CivUP v.26. I am glad that you were able to get it to work, but I'll be looking into what's causing it. Thanks for reporting!

Will do. Thanks Redox.

I have not started to try this mod out yet but I would also use the latest edition of InfoAddict and the UP. Would you suggest that I wait until you get the chance o have a look at what is causing the issues noted above..?

Thanks

No, I'd say just start the game. If it doesn't work, you'll be able to switch to newer version of LT mid-game.

However, it seems the bug is resolved by clearing the cache and moduserdata. If you are starting an entirely new game, you might as well try this fix.
 
ok I'll give that a go, thanks :)

So I assume that this mod is save game compatible between versions..?

It only saves some of its user settings into savefiles, and even those are optional. So yes, it's compatible between versions and can be enabled/disabled without problems.
