So, here's the current bug list from V3.2 that I've been notified of:

1. Boats carrying units lose their cargo when expelled.
2. Request break agreements with itself from an AI.
3. Can swap science without an embassy.
4. AI's still swapping maps too quickly at the start.
5. Sometimes causes a GPF in CTP2.EXE late in the game.
6. Units lose their veteren status when expelled.

Here's the fixes I'll put in for them:

1. Check if boats have cargo, if yes then move cargo with boat.
2. Check the Civ passed with this proposal. If itself stop request.
3. Enable embassy for science swaps.
4. Change value to 500 turns for 'increasing-odds-formula'.
5. Find it.
6. See below.

This should take care of the bugs I know about. If anyone has bugs, comments or suggestions then post them here.

About point 6, after discussions in the CTP2-Creation forum I think I've worked out a way to actually have the AI "move" it's units out of your borders back towards it's cities, instead of the current "expell" that it's using. I'll have a go at putting this one in.

So, make your comments now and make a difference to the AI's diplomacy.

But, what I wanted to say, I think it's great you commiting back to diplomod, altough the loss of you savegame is a b$$%#h but hey, look on the bright side you can play it all over again !
Yeah Yeah I know....not funny, I'm sorry !

Since you seem to know everything there is to know about SLIC and well me.......nuf said !
Please check out my thread about pirates in the creation forum !

Well I'd LOVE to be your beta tester again, so if your looking for one, I'm still dedicated to CTP2, but I must say if the pirates mod takes of I don't know if it will consume lots of my time ?? depends I think !

This takes away the fun of exploring ! Is this a bug or what ?

So you know immediatly where two AI's are. This takes away the fun of exploring ! Is this a bug or what ? See Ya !

Hey...just take it as a rumor on your court or from some lonely passengers(I hope I spelled it correctly)

Now for the problem. Everytime I load CTP2 I get 2 errors stating:
"pathname\withdraw.slc:51 : No function named GetAgreementDuration" and "pathname\diplomod.slc:109 : No function named GetStopResearchingAdvance"

Pathname is the path to my game directory but Iīm too lazy to write it out ;-).

Donīt know if this is a known thing with Diplomod, but as I said, I just started playing with it.

I should say that the game plays fine despite this and that everything with Diplomod seems to work too.

Install the patch for CTP2 V 1.11.
AJ

The frenzything isn't too effective either.. the AI are not aggressive at all. But I notice differences, so I know the mod is active.

I'm sweating my ass of at learning SLIC, basic commands are simple but you think of new rules every time and that is a lot harder to program !

With all my programming experience it doens't make it easier !
Does SLIC have some sort of repeat loop, would come in handy !

Oh well, I'll have plenty of time later, but it is frustrating to every time hear that poing sound of the SLIC error !
I don't know how many times you heard it but they must be numerous !

Oh, if I could program like you can !
Maybe one day .........

Well going back to SLIC know, happy programming, hope to see a new diplomd soon !

Why my messages freak out?? After installing your mod, no messages like 'new unit read on XXX city' or 'new construction on XX city' :-(

On other hand, insane messages shows up in each turn, like
Airlift
San juan del Sur
Positive Points For:

(each line are diferent msg, containing only those words)

Any idea of what's hell is that?? :-)

thanks

oh! if I have to remove your mod, I have to reinstall CTP2?

You ONLY do this when using a save file from before the diplomacy mod, and only need to do it once. If you start a new game you never have to do it.

To uninstall the mod you have to reinstall CTP2. It makes changes to game dependant files.

That's a important tip, why don't you put in readme file ?

BTW, half hour ago, Scotish ask me to break agremant with the... Scotish people!!!!

I'm enjoy a lot your mod, congratulations.

code:

---

if(player[1] != 0 && !(IsHumanPlayer(player[1])) && player[0] != player[1] && player[0].govttype == player[1].govttype) {

---

I have no idea what the UW unit is. What's it's full name? As for ya transport problem, I've never even looked at units.txt so dunno. These transports wouldn't happen to be carrying military units would they? (which get expelled)

- Enabled science swapping embassy requirement
- Fixed break agreements with self
- Increased slow map swaps to 500 turns
- Check/keep veteran status of expelled units
- Fixed text ID's of ConsiderNewProposal statements (synthetic fix)
- Disabled science pacts to avoid the Activision bug
- Decreased regard cheat for AI's of different governments
- Increased chance of accepting peace treaties for same governments
- Stopped expelling of cargo ships and air units to simulate the difficulties in patrolling and monitoring these mediums (EG. Coastguard inefficiencies, Iraq's no-fly zone, tracking down pirates, refugee boats)

If you disagree with any of these design changes I've made to the game, stiff ****. Valid suggestions will be considered though.

BTW, if you have included different air units in the med mod (which I'm sure is true) then I'll have to explain how to change the withdraw component so it doesn't expel them. Or, if you email me the air unit handler names I'll put them in myself. EG: UNIT_AIR_UNIT

BTW2, in Med Mod do you use Bureaucracy to enable diplomats? If not, what's the advance handler you use? I'll need to change that for the embassy creation section.

I'll have the AI start trying to make embassies on discovery of aristocracy.

Enjoy.

EDIT:
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ensure you have the CTP2 patch installed before installing the Diplomacy mod. This will cut down on 3/4's of the "bug reports" emailed to me.

Just found another bug in the Diplomacy Area. I'm using your
Diplomod 3.2b. If the Ai asks for an advance and I counter
with give me lots of $Gold(9000) for it, I think my treasury
only increases by a little ... about 1000. Is there an easy
fix? By the way the AI accepts all the time.

Spelelunk forever,

David:
That's a new one. I never had any probs and I played with the mod heavily since I finished it friday night. Anyone else with this prob?

The error message that David is referring to states that ConsiderNewProposal has the wrong number of arguments. This version doesn't have all of those "ID_AIS_LOVE_AIS" all over the place.

I hope that helps, because I'm really looking forward to using this version of your mod. Right now it crashes to the desktop as soon as I hit the "next turn" button.

Oh, and thanks for all the work you've put into this mod. You've turned a $50 (US) coaster into a playable game.

Metheglyn

I didn't know this combo was included in that advance - money
issue previously discussed. I did read the V3.2 text but I have not
even downloaded the V3.3. I'm playing my first game with the mods
on the big map.

Spelelunk forever,

So i did i search of both version of DiploMod.scl (3.2 and 3.3) and just like Metheglyn said, v3.2 is passing 8 arugments, and v3.3 is only passing 5... I take it the last 3 are supposed to be optional?

The new version is giving error messages complaining about the *type* of arguments in ConsiderNewProposal. If I comment out the following lines, it works fine:

if(DIP_request == 7) {
for(DIP_tmpvalue2 = 1; DIP_tmpvalue2 < DIP_NumOfPlayers; DIP_tmpvalue2 = DIP_tmpvalue2 + 1) {
if(DIP_tmpvalue2 != player[0]) {
ConsiderNewProposal(player[0], player[1], DIP_requestpriority, 7, DIP_tmpvalue2, ID_AIS_LOVE_AIS, ID_AIS_LOVE_AIS, ID_AIS_LOVE_AIS);
}
}
}
if(DIP_request == 8) {
for(DIP_tmpvalue2 = 1; DIP_tmpvalue2 < DIP_NumOfPlayers; DIP_tmpvalue2 = DIP_tmpvalue2 + 1) {
if(DIP_tmpvalue2 != player[0]) {
ConsiderNewProposal(player[0], player[1], DIP_requestpriority, 8, DIP_tmpvalue2, ID_AIS_LOVE_AIS, ID_AIS_LOVE_AIS, ID_AIS_LOVE_AIS);
}
}
}

Am I the only one having this problem?

ConsiderNewProposal requires these elements:
Originator - player[0]
Receiver - player[1]
Priority - DIP_requestpriority
Request number - 7/8
Arguement - DIP_tmpvalue2
Three sets of text (optional with my setup for some reason) - ID_AIS_LOVE_AIS

Request number 7 & 8 are OFFER_BREAK_AGREEMENT and REQUEST_BREAK_AGREEMENT.
The arguement required by these proposals is THIRD_PARTY which is the integar value of the player to break the agreements with. What I'm asking is:
player[0] requests/offers to player[1] to break agreements with DIP_tmpvalue2.

DIP_tmpvalue2 starts at 1 (human player) and proceeds upwards to the last player number. DIP_tmpvalue2 is checked to see that it is NOT the same as the requesting nation. Thirdly, the ConsiderNewProposal is made.

Can anyone see the problem? Cuz as the tree said to the lumberjack, "I'm stumped!"

This is all kinda funny I guess.

Well, actually, it isn't.
