Unofficial BTS 3.13 patch

Thank you for the good job you've done.

Though it remains sad that members of the community have to fix things that an official QM task force should be doing in a flash.

PS: I vote for sticky! :)
 
Again appreciate the help, but for some reason, it still tells me I am downloading the htm page and not the file. In fact, just to see what would happen, I tried to download other files, and got the same thing. I am not downloading the file, just the downloads web page.

This should only happen if you right-click and select "save target as". Just left click instead. Follow DrewBledsoe's link with a left-click and then left-click on "Download File" there.

Sorry if that's not it and I merely stated the obvious. :sad:
 
Thanks so much Bhruic! :goodjob: When I saw all your suggestions in the bug-forum I hoped you would put them together in one nice patch of the patch. And here it is!
I greatly appreciate your work! :)

The file won't download if you are using a download manager, at least it won't with Internet Download Manager. You have to press the Alt key when clicking on the file to have IE handle the download.

Bhruic, Thank You very much for your excellent work. :goodjob:
 
Thanks and congratulations to Bhruic! :goodjob:

And a request to the moderators: as long as 3.13 seems to have quite some problems, please make this thread sticky!
 
Thanks again! I think what really needs a fix next (if possible) are the cities that want to join other civs without reason. I think you already commented on it in another thread so you're probably aware of the problem.
 
Hrm. . . What browser are you using? Try IE for downloading this file if you can.

You are staring from this page when you try to download, right? Try opening up the download.htm file in your browser. What loads?

Thanks Loopy and everyone for your input and help. The problem was with the browser. MSN is my default browser, and I guess it just won't let me download anything. I used IE, and it downloaded fine. Looks like it loaded fine as well. So I wasn't totally stupid, just a little. Again, perhaps if I were closer to age 6 than 50, I would have figured it out. :blush: And let me also thank Bh for his work.
 
Q: Do I have to update to 3.13 in order to apply your patch?

Yes. First apply the official 3.13 patch (which includes many fixes and improvements), then install Bhruic's unofficial patch (which selectively fixes some bugs left or introduced by the official 3.13).
 
This wellcome unoffiacial patch let me think that that there must be an official 3.15 .....or the 3.13 has been the last official one in your opinion ?

thanks
 
I'd like to add my own words of praise for your and Solver's hard work on these unofficial patches. Hopefully some of these issues will be sorted out by an official fix in the near future, but in the meantime your dedication is much appreciated.

I don't understand why this thread hasn't been stickied yet though...
 
I second (x20) the motion to sticky this thread. It answers some posters would be questions and solves many peoples issues.. thereby potentially reducing a bunch of duplicate threads. More importantly it is a great resource that many fanatics would take advantage of.
 
Didn't privateers always have the ability to go into anyone's territory? Not totally sure. I can't get into anyone's territory unless I'm at war or have open borders. This doesn't sound right to me.

If this is not by design, can you fix it?

I haven't had any problems with my Privateers moving into other Civ's territory.

Does this patch afeect multiplayer games? In that you will have a different version than other ppl.

Also, will it affect GOTM and the like?

Have a look at this save. Move the newly created privateer in my city of Yeha into Shaka's territory directly to the NW. It will ask whether I want to declare war or not. I seem to remember that privateers worked like caravels in that they could just move into someone's territory regardless of open borders.

Yes, there is a bug there, but it's not as severe as you're imagining - if you try and move directly from your city to Shaka's territory, it'll ask about declaring war. If, however, you move the ship one square out of the city, and then try to move to Shaka's territory, it does so.

It really shouldn't ask about declaring war regardless, but the Privateer code has always been a little shaky where cities were considered.

Huh, didn't think to try that. Thanks! I think I'll skip reporting this in the bug thread since, by the looks of things, Firaxis' attention is needed on other more important things. What you suggested is an acceptable workaround for me.
