1.61Patch out!

[UnOrthOdOx]

SDK and pitboss won't be needed unless you plan to use them.
Most likely your SP games will be fine.

[Keygen]

It seems that there are a few more downloads in Firaxis' website: SDK examples, low-res movies etc.

[Solver]

As well as tools for 3D Max.

[ayronis]

I downloaded 1.61 and ran it. Patch finished successfully.
I downloaded Pitboss.exe and ran it - failed to execute because some required file was not found.

Tried to run Civ4 - several error messages appeared during the Init Python startup screen. The first reads:

Failed Loading XML file xml/text/civ4gametextinfo.xml [.\FXml.cpp:133] Error parsing XML File -
File: xml\text\civ4gametextinfos.xml
Reason: Switch from current encoding to specified encoding not supported.
Line: 1, 44
Source: ?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?

Restarted and the game is still unplayable. (Text lines are appearing as variables)

It's also Medium Upkeep now, whereas Monarchy is now Low. That is a dramatic shift.

A change that was not mentioned is that not only is the hammer yield from pre-Mathematics chopping down 33%, but the actual chopping takes 50% more worker turns.

I can see pre-chopping many forests down to only having 1 turn left, but not actually completing the chops till after mathematics (probably for Great Library) as being more effective now, especially for India.

Please,tell me:
I downloaded from the link in the first post. It seems I didn't download the SDK and PitBoss.Is that?
And (as I keep knowing nothing of computers)must I do it?
And about my current games (SP) may I keep playing them?
My thanks in advance.
Best regards,

your sp games should move onto the new patch easily


the pbems have gone well so far. save bouncing between McMeadows and I easily. I Have noticed that they have changed the naming convention of the save file...


Hotseat games transition was smooth as well

Let me first preface this with, I haven't done computer programming since Turbo C++ 4.5 for windows 3.11 So I stand before you without much knowledge. My question is I want to do a little editing in the SDK what version of C++ do I need? and how much is this going to cost me?

The SDK largely compiles, I get 1 error and 615 warnings. Firaxis using deprecated functions, how reactionary... (There you have your complaint Zoid )

The error says "error C2665: 'boost::python::detail::make_getter' : none of the 3 overloads could convert all the argument types" - I'll check what that is.

Compiling went fine for me

Game ran fine using my own compiled version of the DLL.

I used Visual Studio 2003

I'm not sure if I like what they've done with the continents script. Just get two big landmasses and that’s it, no smaller continents no islands at all. Custom continents and Island scripts still look retarded an unnatural.

[padillah]

Not to be repetative but...

LINES AND THE GRID AND THE YIELD DISPLAY STILL DO NOT SAVE!!!!!!

How hard can this be?!?

Well, I'm gonna check out the SDK and see if I can mod it in.

Edit: I kept playing and reloading and the yield display stayed on but the button state didn't save so it changed to "Off".

Oh, and "Zoom Level" apparently dosn't save either.

The project is built with a slightly aged VC++.

I have a new VC++, which defaults on warnings for deprecated functions. I can turn that off easily.

What concerns the error, it's caused by a template enclosed into a macro, which creates an error for compilers with _MSC_VER > 1300. My _MSC_VER is 1400. I can try to just change the number, maybe it compiles then. If not, I'll find a way around.

[Grandpa Troll]

I just patched and soon shall see how it fares as well

I have that at work, could do the compiling there. At home I use VC++ 2005 Express (the free DL), which has a new compiler in it.

EDIT: screw it, I forgot I have 3 weeks vacation... I hate having vacation!

Disclaimer: this list may not be 100% complete, specifically there may be some functions which in v1.52 were not documented that have had their arguments changed. If you suddenly get any 'Python argument types in {x} did not match C++ signature: {y}' on any of your pre-v1.61 scripts, you probably found a function of which the arguments changed

The Python API reference on this site will be updated later today or tomorrow, I need to get some other paperwork done first.
