Neutrality Learning Centers Factorys

Autoupgrade in German version disables factorys....

May 22, 2006 4:46:38 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I know thje problem was reported before, but for any reason the thread will no longer showed up when I click on it. I can read the sourcecode of the html file, but the page left blank to me.

I am playing the German version, 1.11 and I started a new game last week. Gigantic galaxy, techspeed very fast, everything else on rare but tiny clusters, 1 level above "tough" with all races and me playing a selfmade civ.

The game was fine 'till I reached the neutrality research centers. After this I had two buildings in my list, both called neutrality research center. One "normal" NRC, I knowed before 1.11 and a second one with these incredible features:
100% defense bonus
20 production points
22 research points
10% economy bonus
10% influnce bonus
+1 Schip movement

Now the gouvernor tried to upgrade all my FACTORYS into NRC's, wich I need to end manually on every planet. The next thing is, that once you builded one of the "new NRC's" on a planet, you cant build any normal NRC anymore on this planet. So I decided to build all needed "normal NRC's" and at the end to benefit the planet with one of the "new NRC's". This worked fine, I was the king of the universe and I spitted out money, ships and influence like a precursor *g*. I just needed to klick on every planet that I conquered and give manually upgrade orders.
After around 1 year in the gametimeline I noticed, that I cant build ANY factory on ANY planet. No matter if I try it on a existing building as a upgrade nor on empty space on any planet. No more factorys at all... AND a few turns later the governours again autoupgraded every existing factory on every single planet. I lost around 5 factorys to this and I had no chance to rebuild them, cause there is no factory in the buildmenu any more....

I think this is a very bad bug, cause it makes the game nearly unwinable, when all your factorys are "upgaded" to NRC's!!!

Hope to read at least any little comment like "we know the prob and we're working on it" ...

I will post a debug.err when I am back home this evening if there is any interest in it.

@ Citizen NicWeb

Yes, indeed, I know this problem, because I am personally the causer of it!
No joke !
In the last german translation I did a typo in the PlanetImprovements.XML. If you have an editor with line counting,
you would find in the line 796 of this xml-file there is a missing ' < ' before ' /BriefDescription> ' this is the origin of
all these mysterious NLCs in german versions, should be fixed in next patch version.

Otherwise you can fix it for yourself earlier with an editor - only put in this missing ' < ' - and all these problems are past.
Exceptionally existing save games, sorry.
I back you pardon

Hey suiban, the typo is not the only problem, the mixed linending (whereever this got into the file) is also responsible.
Paradox got the corrected files one or two days after the release of the patch, stardock got them, too.
But they aren't available by sdc, when everything goes the same way like in ALL updates till now you'll get them with the 1.2-update.
Meaning, all users get 1.2, but Germans get 1.2-binaries and 1.1-datafiles.

If you want the corrected file before this, ask stardock or contact me in the chatroom.

@suebian, you aren't responsible for stardock's updatepolitics.

@the suebian

Thanx alot for these informations. I like the idea to fix it alone. I will try tonight with my nusphere phped, this works fine with xml-files.
And to honor your work: The german translations in 1.11 are much more joyable than the ones in all the other versions. I think You got the right feeling for the humor original told in english! I enjoy playing now more than before cause of the new and better translations.
It is no prob, the missing "<", I know this happens when You sript for hours.... I have the same problem when I worked to much ... blind to see the errors

@WarEagle

You are right, he's not the person to blame ... I really think there is noone to blame, the game is much fun and less, less buggy than EUII or other paradox games I played!!!

When I cant fix it, I will contact you for the right file!



Thank you two for your help!

By the way, after researching nlcs you can get build factories again by researching "industriesektor", the best factory in the game..

And why did you aborted auto upgrade? with this bug nlc are the best factory and best researching facility in one
The game just gets pretty easy later...
