[BTS] Warhammer FB Conversion Beta - Download/Debug Thread

[frenzyslave]

Just finished an awesome game as Empire (Maggie).

Probs (playing with minimod):
Organised Religion (civic): does NOT allow the building of missionaries (Temples build them instead of monastaries).

Greatswords (UU): Shows on tech tree at Monarchy, but you actually need engineering

Handgunners (UU): When built, they have crud promotion choices (only std bearer, musician, snowman. No combat I etc...). Maybe they also dont count as living units (cannot Lupuns Wolf Hunt them with the minimod). Anyways, as a late unit they get stepped on.

Request: After a game of the elves zipping along with the extra movment, the non elves slowly dawdle about. Maybe the Mobility promotion may be accessible in the techs? Maybe at Tracking or something.

Thx. will try to adress these issues. Next version will have the musician promotion available earlier. I dislike mobility though. With musician you can order units to march but they will get exausted at the end of turn.

Ah. Awesome then. Use musicians next time... Thanks!

 

[GhostQ]

How close is the next release Ploeper? Or, should I say, is it close?

Hello,

Playing Warhammer + Patch H with the Minimod + Patch C.

Playing as Bretonnia Empire on Noble Difficulty & Epic Speed.
On Turn 515 atm, been running smoothly up untill about 40 maybe 50 turns ago, when I Experienced a game crash(Unexpected Error crash to windows), So I reloaded my save, carried on, did a few things Different and the game carried on for about 8 maybe 9 Turns when I experienced another Game Crash(Unexpected Error crash to windows).

Found this to be a bit distracting so, tracked them both down to Researching Techs, specificly, Military Tradition & Fanaticism it also happens on Economics too so I just found out. (If I don't Complete these techs the game will continue to play)

Game Save(All 3 techs above have 1 turn left to research)

 

[Ploeperpengel]

I'm sorry I don't work on the minimod. I had a look at the save and the logfiles gives various possibilities. Missing artreferences for buttons(old ones monastery i.e. could produce ctds). Also the game tries to address buildings that aren't in the xml anymore(i.e. gameutils in cannottrain). It seems a pythonfunction also tries to address terraintypes that are from FFH but not in WH(fields of perdition i.e.).

You'd either have to ask Psychic Llamas to fix the pythonfiles for anything hardcoded he removed from the mod or wait until the next official version comes out.

This thread will be closed until the next version comes.

0.12 is uploading 3 hours to go

This version occasionally has a problem with an endless loop. I included a save with it. Poeple without strong bughuntingskills though might better wait for patch a

 

[Ajidica]

I'll wait for patch a. Does this have the improved dark elves?

I'll wait for patch a. Does this have the improved dark elves?

It's not yet the Kinstife. This release is mainly for debugging and start balancing the main mod. The Kinstrife(the first phase of the mod that aims at "finished" gameplay for the elves) has been pushed to version 0.13. So this gives us a whole alphabet to polish this.

 

[Ajidica]

I think I am not going to wait for patch a. Will download after finals are done. Why is the Sylvan Ways called Sylvan? Isnt Sylvan a description for the Vampires led by the von Caresteins?

Sorry for being slightly OT

No it's indeed a typo. Should be silvan from "Silvanus" latin: "of the woods"

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

WOOT to the max! downloading now do we need to reDL the sound track or is the old one still ok?

 

[Ploeperpengel]

it's the same

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

awsome less time untill i can playtest

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

ok, well first problem: first game i tried as darkelves, huge, Creation mapscript. game didnt load, froze in start up.

this seems to happen each time i try to start a game

EDIT: could i have extracted it wrong? i just copied it over the top of the old version. is this one a stand alone mod?

EDIT2: well i extracted it as a standalone mod, and it still crashes when i try to start a game. instant CTD after all game options are chosen and click launch. no error message.

 

[Ploeperpengel]

What gameoptions did you choose? Does it ctd with other mapscripts as well?

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

it CTDs with every game option combo i try, pangaea, big and small, hemispheres, creation. game options i tried were amathon, wildlands, barb world, living world. i also tried games with no options selected. tried with different civs.

EDIT: all huge maps though, ive neer had trouble with huge maps on this machine before though...

 

[Ploeperpengel]

I just redownloaded the mod and started a game with a huge map and with all possible gameoptions selected. No ctd with me. Are you sure you installed it correctly? As you have Vista is UAC disabled? Maybe corrupted download?

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

ill try re DL it and try again... just remind me how should i install it...
