Events Compendium (Obsolete)

[SLGray]

I am having an issue with installing this. I download it and add it to my MODS folder, start the game, and go to mods menu. It starts to install, but then the game crashes..

My Mods:
Community Patch (all)
JFD's Cities in Development, Rise to Power, Cultural Diversity, and Exploration Continued Expnaded
YAEMP v24

Edit: I extracted the files from the download and create a folder for them and then placed it in the MODS folder. Is this ok?

Yup, that's fine and was what I was gonna suggest to do; all Civ5mod files are are renamed zips, and all civ does is unzip them itself.

Thanks for working on the events.

I'm hearing this "Grrrrrr" every 5 or so turns. Is this how it should work?

Is this while the game is processing other players' turns? I believe that is a sound effect that is part of the vanilla game. I have heard many different sounds, one sounds like si.

 

[SLGray]

What does Misc.: 24 refer to? Are they ones you have created for this mod?

i haven't played civ 5 in a while, do i need this one or Sukritact's events & decision?

You don't "need" either; it's a choice.

Suk's E&D is the only one with Decisions, and so I'd always recommend using it; however, his events are notoriously unstable and so in my experience it's easier to disable them and use the CP events system instead (since I'm always playing with the core CP bc JFDDLC). This mod simply adds more events to the CP's events system, and requires at least CID and RTP as well (because it adds events based on mechanics introduced in those mods).

Do we run this mod in conjunction with the CBP events mod as well? I tried to run this mod with Sukritact's Events and Decisions mod and I kept crashing at the Mod screen. Scrolling through the mod list I noticed there was a CBP events mod as well so I'm thinking maybe we can't run these two event mods at the same time?

I think there is a specific E&D for CBO yeah, in which case use that instead. EC should work fine with either. Not sure though, since the version I am developing is quite different from the public one here.

Rise to power blocks the CBO events and decisions, though. Is this intentional?

 

[JFD]

Yes, because you should be using the vanilla E&D with Rise to Power.

A question for JFD:

JFDLC seems to come with a version 5 of the Events Compendium. However, it is dependent on activating the RTP mod. Is there a v5 that is not dependent on RTP mod?

I ask because I brought in EC v4 to use when I'm not activating RTP. I ran into an error where an event choice button wouldn't bring up a dialog or go away when clicked. The lua.log contains the following bit that I think is the problem:

[68259.765] EventChoicePopupCity: Displaying Event Selection Popup
[68259.765] EventChoicePopupCity: Getting choice list for city event
[68259.765] EventChoicePopupCity: Found our city event 70
[68259.765] Runtime Error: Sound cannot be found

I thought it might be already fixed in v5.

Edited to add log files. Not using CBP, EUI, or Health & Plague.

The Events Compendium is designed to be used with JFDDLC, because many of the Events it adds use JFDDLC components. If you use it without, then you'll run into various issues worse than that

I am using JFDLC, I am just interested in sometimes deactivating RTP but still using EC, as I'm having some issues with RTP.

 

[SLGray]

Have you reported the issues?

 

[JFD]

There will be no EC that doesn't require RtP.

 

[gnome]

Thank you for the response.

I will work with what there is

 

[gnome]

Have you reported the issues?

Nah, I ran into this before with RTP and it's because I like to use too many custom CIVs that don't always play well with other mods. It's not really an RTP issue itself, so I'm trying to work it out on my own.

 

[SLGray]

Should this topic not be locked since it is now part of JFDLC?

I guess it remains open because it's still a different mod, unlike CID and ExCE which are now part of RtP's actual Mod project.
