V118 Civup Upgrade Anomaly

[Torvald]

Am currently playing a vanilla game, plus also using the Civup portion of v118, and have encountered a unit upgrade anomaly.

Whenever I try to upgrade a unit by clicking on the upgrade icon in the unit menu, nothing happens. The unit menu clearly shows upgrades are available, but the upgrade icon simply doesn't work. This happens with all units, not just one or two types.

Fortunately, I found a work around. By pressing the letter "U" on my keyboard, my units were able to successfully upgrade after all.

Please take a look at this; perhaps some code in Civup is still tied to the rest of the balance mod, instead of being completely standalone.

Thanks.

Thank you for reporting this. What error message pops up in the tuner when you click the upgrade button?

 

[Torvald]

Sorry, did not have the tuner turned on at the time, and have since migrated to v119.

 

[Torvald]

Sorry, should have explained myself better. I meant to say that I'd recently moved up to playing the complete V119 mod, both Civup and VEM portions. (Hope I said that right)

However, what I can do this weekend is to play a game using just the Civup portion of V119, to se if it has a similar anomaly as I encountered with Civup v118.

Will report back later how it turns out, and will also use the tuner this time.

Okay, started a game tonight of vanilla Civ-5, with just the CivUp part of the Balance mod, plus the standard several additional mods I normally use: better Japanese city names, better poynesian city names, cultural diffusion, no XP Cap from barbarians, happiness adjustment - wonders, policy - free warrior, resource discovery, tectonics, beyond the future, and mod list - addin.

Well, I encountered the same anomaly as before - not able to upgrade units by clicking on the upgrade icon, and having to press the "U" key instead to do so.

As requested, attached is a rared doc file showing the contents of my livetuner.

Wow, cultural diffusion creates an incredible amount of message spam!

It appears it could not load VEM (the relevant messages below). Could you try the things on the Common Checklist to see if you can get these messages to disappear? Loading errors display when you start a game.

Okay, I've quit the v119 full game I was playing (was only doing moderately well), and have now started a game of v120 Civup only.

Am using basically the same additional mods as before, except have now removed cultural diffusion. Also deleted the cache and miduserdata folders per normal new game startup procedures.

Attached is the message display from Firaxis Livetuner at the point of turn one. It appears from my untrained eye that several key files are still not loading properly.

Will now try to remove the other added mods and see if that clears up the problem.

 

[Torvald]

Well, have just started an absolutely purebred game of V120 Civup only, with NO other mods active, not even just sitting unused in the mods folder.

Am still encountering Fiexas Livetuner error messages (see attached) that appear to show key VEM files not being loaded.

I was playing as the Incas, using a Highlands map, with diplomatic victory type disabled.

In order to play with v120 Civup only, I inserted the recommended underline symbol in front of the VEM folder name. Perhaps that is the key; does Civup need for me to designate a different way to deactivate the bulk of the VEM folder?

Will now go back to playing the full version of Balance Mod (using full v120).

Thanks.
