Warlords 2.08 - modding impact?

Do we need full list of the patch chages in XML? It doesn't look like a big one.

The real problem is .dll.
 
After going to all the trouble to make Civ4 so moddable, it sure is a shame the devs didn't take more care that patches don't break mods. Many mod authors seem to have given up, not updating their mods for each new patch. Many of the best can't be used any more.
 
Well there is no way to change the SDK/Python/XML in a Firaxis patch to make it compatible with mods....

And updating a huge mod in ViSa took less than 1 day :)

The best mods will be updated, give the modders some time....and a break :)

OK, now I am really annoyed. Thanks to the patch I am getting the following error messages when I try to build a new .dll

Code: 
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: int_thiscall CvCity::getBuildingCommerceChange etc etc.

and error LNK1120: 7 unresolved externals

Seriously, what is going on here? This worked perfectly before, but not now :(.

I'm running into the exact same problem.

It happens right at the very end of compiling, right before the CvGameCoreDLL file is actually created. It's really frustrating... :mad:

How do I work around this?
 
Are the only parts we really have to change the dll files, or some things in the xml or python? If so could someone make me a cvgamecoredll that allows for 24 civs?

If the dll won't compile nobody will do you one obviously. Also this doesn't seem to be a thread for modrequests.
 
Did you just copy your dll files over the top of the dll files, or did you cut your code again from a fresh dll code base?

You can't just copy your edited 2.00 files into a 2.08 dll code base.

So, hang on Dale. You mean that I need to delete any existing .dll files for my mod, and rebuild an entirely new one?
If so, then hopefully that will be really easy ;).

EDIT: Nope, that didn't do the trick. Problems with canHurry code throughout the CvCityAI.cpp file.
Dammit, why won't this WORK :(!!

Yes, if what I'm thinking you're doing is so... then you will need to delete the .dll file in your mod folder, and recompile from scratch. You'll need to copy over your mod codes from the v2.00 C++ files over to the v2.08 files, then recompile. That's what I had to do.

Aussie, can you post the error code you're getting? Because I recompiled my v2.08 C++ files (with your mod in it) and it compiled just fine.

(BTW.. the problem I had a couple posts above is all taken care of. I was able to sucessfully re-compile my v2.08 files).
 
So the question is, how do you fully integrate the patch into your mods? Sorry, but I am a newbie!

I think you misunderstood Dale. He doesn't ask if you deleted the CvGameCoreDLL.dll, but if you manually re-integrated all your changes into the new cpp files (instead of copying whole files you used with earlier versions into the SDK-folder).
 
Well, I finally finished updating all of my Warlords mods to be compatible with the v2.0.8.0 patch. It wasn't too bad...
