XML Inter-dependencies

[Kael]

I just checked the logs and I found some interesting things in there. The xml.log gave me a whole lot of "[8615.625] info type NONE not found, Current XML file is: Units/CIV4UnitInfos.xml" kind of errors, and similar ones for buildings. Do you know what causes these?

The resmgr.log gave me this:

I don't have the graphics for the first two, so that makes sense, but where are the last two?

And, the PythonDbg.log ends with me founding the city:

PY:City Built Event: VONG GALAXY

Do you have any other thoughts as to what might be causing the CTD whenever I build a city (and OK its name)?

I get the NONE errors too, as far as I can tell they arent a problem.

playercolor01.tga and playercolor02.tga are in the .pak. Though they are lowercase as I typed them, not uppercase as you did. My log files dont give me any errors about playercolor.

I would guess that your CTD is being caused by a problem trying to plot the city (ie: an issue in CIV4CityLSystem.xml). That is just a guess but you may want to try switching back to the origional version of that file (if you have changed it) to see if your crash goes away.

 

[Shqype]

That's what I was thinking too, but the problem is that file make references to all the eras. And, I changed the names of the eras to things more StarWars-ish.

playercolor01.tga and playercolor02.tga are in the .pak. Though they are lowercase as I typed them, not uppercase as you did. My log files dont give me any errors about playercolor.

Strange since I didn't touch them, and I can't find them anywhere in the SW Art folder.

Thanks for your reply.

Screenshot right before the automatic exit to desktop:



I press OK and I see my desktop, without any errors.

I copied the vanilla CIV4CityLSystem.xml and used the replace ability to replace the vanilla eras with the new SW eras, but still got the error.

This is really tricky.

This is really tricky.

You could try keeping the same era XML coding. Example: ERA_ANCIENT but instead of this: <Description>TXT_KEY_ERA_ANCIENT</Description> in the CIV4EraInfos.xml file, just change it to the name you want or find and change it in one of the text files.

 

[Shqype]

I realize that, but I didn't want to do it that way. And, it doesn't make a difference either way (unless the eras are hardcoded in the graphics engine, which I seriously doubt, since they've been successfully changed before).

 

[Agent 009]

Alright then...

When did this error start happening? Was it after changing the era file? Or was it after editing units or something else?

I was thinking that if it isn't the eras that are causing this crash then it might be related to the units.

Perhaps the units a civ starts with right away is not available yet. Like the warrior in the original game is available and you start with one. Perhaps your start unit has a prereq tech. This might cause a problem, although I really am guessing.

If it isn't a unit maybe it is something else that is similar, or it also could just be a simple typo in the era file. In fact it also could be python related. It's hard to figure what really is causing this problem of yours by just a screenshot.

I hope you can fix it though. Good Luck.

 

[Shqype]

The era occurred after I recieved the new UnitInfos file and the ArtDefines with the Art folder, but it could be possible that it was something else that I changed before I incorporated those new files.

If you look at the screenshot, you will see a city placed on the map, and a popup box allowing me to change the name of the city. By that picture alone you could tell that the game started fine, and I had already been given my first starting unit, so that obviously is not the problem. The CTD occurs when I press OK to accept the name of the city. The game automatically exits to my desktop.

ahh I see... maybe it has something to do with the city name then... check the file associated with the city name. There are two of them. CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml and CIV4GameTextInfos_Cities.xml

I saw in another topic that the Tech file doesn't like comments. It could be that you have comments in one of those files, or it is another thing altogether...

 

[Shqype]

Thanks for offering suggestions, but unfortunately that's not the problem. There's nothing wrong with the city names, and I don't use the vanilla files for them ('cept the first which is necessary). That's not the issue.

Also, I've never had problems with the tech file not liking comments, but I don't even have any comments in the tech file, so that's not it either.

So it's another thing altogether,
