You may need to verify your code base installation. Your recent gs\slic modifications seem to be based on files that are hopelessly outdated. SlicFunc.cpp is missing some changes that were made in May 2004.

AI corrections by Martin Gühmann:

..\ctp2_code\ai\ctpai.cpp
- Made the explore resolution a constant and set it to five.
- Roads are now every second turn computed.
- Tile improvements are computed every fifth turn.
- Disabled UnGroupGarrisionUnits and MoveOutofCityTransportUnits methods. At least the latter one must be reconsidered as it seems that the transports are waiting in the city for sleeping units. (One possibility this needs verification)

..\ctp2_code\ai\CityManagement\governor.cpp
- All tile improvements for cities that hasn't grown beyond the first ring get now full utiliziation bonus.
- Replaced my c-style casts by standart static_cast's.

..\ctp2_code\robot\pathing\unitastar.cpp
- Disabled Calvitix check for danger function, to avoid redicious paths. If a army encounters danger on its path the goal should be reconsidered, e.g. attacking the encountered unit. Or the danger calculation should be more flexible.

..\ctp2_code\ai\strategy\squads\squad_Strength.cpp
- Disabled Calvitix change in the > operator. This change caused the massive slow down on maps with more then one continent and prevented the AI from oversea activity. However nevertheless I feel this operator needs some rework, as neither the original version nor Calvitix version seem to be finished.

..\ctp2_code\ai\strategy\goals\ctpgoal.cpp
- Corrected a part of the Compute_Raw_Priority function, target position recieves now unowned bonus if the owner is now -1 instead of 0 (Barbarian).
- Removed unnecessary reinitialization for in Compute_Needed_Troop_Flow for trade routes and tileimps.

..\ctp2_code\ai\strategy\scheduler\Plan.cpp
- Cleaned some comments no code changes. I modified this file to figure out the culprit of the slow down problem anyway.

Replaced Calvitix version of the > operator by a cleaner version, however this version of the > operator is still experimental and therefore it is disabled as well. At least it allows AI sea activity, unfortunately it still slows down the game.

..\ctp2_code\gs\slic\SlicEngine.cpp
- Added new slic functions:
- IsOnSameContinent: Checks whether two locations are on the same continent, by Solver.
- AddSlaves: Adds slaves to a city, this function was suggested by The Big Mc. It is the event based version. The error reported here for instance doesn't seem to be releated to the function itsself. It seems there is a problem in the Governor::AssignSpecialist function a problem. It seems that it ignores the fact that slaves cannot be assigned to other tasks than working in the field. Obviously the problem also occurs if the city has a lot of slaves regardless how they were added.
- CreateUnit function doesn't crash anymore if the given unit type isn't an invalid unit type.

..\ctp2_code\gs\slic\slicif.h
..\ctp2_code\gs\slic\slicif.cpp
..\ctp2_code\gs\slic\slic.y
Slic database access is now also possible if the record name was used as well as symbol in the context. That prevented the gain of great leaders in CTC for instance. As decribed here.

AI population assignement improvement and misc. fixes by Martin Gühmann

..\ctp2_code\ai\CityManagement\governor.cpp
- Fixed AssignPopulation function , at least it is now in the state as supposed to be, however this is still far from perfect:

- Fixed population assignment if city has slaves.
- Allow usage of the first record in the pop database
- Minimum entertainers are now assigend, even if there are otherwise no specialists left to assign.
- Minimum farmer assignment has to be done, but first necessary tools in CityData have to be created.
- Optimization for the food, production, happiness, science and gold have to be implemented, again the problem of missing tools.

Not the flag, but you forgot to undo something I told you to undo and I overlooked it in the end. But maybe I should post the final code in the according thread.

quote: Originally posted by E (not needed for awhile I think)

I disagree.

quote: Originally posted by E Also as a reminder a new playest version should have the date on start up updated

Maybe you should read this thread. After reading you will know that Fromafar implemented a solution, at least for Windows builds.

quote: Originally posted by E and have the AI unit goals not showing during play

If John compiles it then it isn't in.

quote: Originally posted by E other than that I noticed the new AI is pretty good.

Are you sure? I noticed that it doesn't build special units, the version out has severe problems with AI naval activity, on the wrong map it's slow without any benefit. Conquests seems also be very slow, it could settle more agressively. There is a crash if you move the cursor on cities that you lost to the enemy, and you don't see the city sprite of such cities.

Some of these problems are fixed, but other remain, and should be fixed before a new playtest.

Vision update and miscellaneous corrections by Martin Gühmann

..\ctp2_code\gs\gameobj\bldque.cpp
Fixed a bug that leaded to a crash in the first not reported wonder bug fix.

..\ctp2_code\gs\gameobj\UnitData.cpp
When a city is conquered the city is no more removed from the map and inserted into the map again. That saves some time. The removement of the vision of the old owner is postponed until the city data changed hand, so that the old owner get a last look on "his" city, and everything on the map like city and surrounding terrain is shown with the new owner. If you loose a city you should know who was it. And you should also know which land the attacker has stolen.

..\ctp2_code\tiledmap.cpp
..\ctp2_code\tiledraw.cpp
..\ctp2_code\ui\aui_ctp2\radarmap.cpp
If you own a tile it is displayed on the map as yours even if you didn't visit that tile recently. If fog of war is of or god mode is on the borders of civs with that you have no contact are displayed.

..\ctp2_code\gs\world\UnseenCell.cpp
The city owner is now taken from the city's CityData instead from the unit itsself. This allows the correct display of an owner if you loose a city.

..\ctp2_code\ui\aui_ctp2\InfoBar.cpp
If you move the cursor over a city without actor in the UnseenCell, the game doesn't crash anymore. The missing actor problem was caused by how the owner change was handled during city capture. This problem is now fixed at the root, but old savegames might contain this problem. Another problem with destroyed civilsations and there cities was also fixed.

..\ctp2_data\default\aidata\advancelists.txt
..\ctp2_data\default\aidata\buildlistsequences.txt
..\ctp2_data\default\aidata\strategies.txt
..\ctp2_data\default\aidata\unitbuildlist.txt
Replaced BuildListSequenceElement by those of GoodMod that are based themselfes of those from MedPack.
Replaced build lists sequences by those of GoodMod: The Capitalization and Infrastructure elements are removed from the sequences.
Replaced the advance lists and unit build lists by those of GoodMod. IIRC there are based on those of MyMod or ApolytonPack.
These changes improve the AI.

..\ctp2_data\french\gamedata\ldl_str.txt
City Manager is now translated. This is the file by Tamerlin from 2005.02.07.

..\ctp2_data\italian\gamedata\info_str.txt

sekel recently suggested that we should have a button on the scenario editor to enable showing the AI army text. Well, until someone manages to squeeze a button on to that window, here's another way.

To show the AI army text, open the chat screen (type " ' ", apostrophe), type "/debugai", and press "enter". If the text is being shown and you want to turn it off, do exactly the same thing.

To show the map cell text (if you're interested in seeing the AI settling map), open the chat screen, type "/debugcells", and press "enter". Again, repeating the procedure toggles the cell text off.

Finally, press "enter" to close the chat screen.

BTW, Martin's recent SLIC fixes have unblocked the Poly code for me. More to follow.

M /trunk/ctp2_data/english/gamedata/dip2_str.txt
A /trunk/ctp2_data/spanish/gamedata/cut_str.txt

Where XXXXXX stands for english, french, german, italian or spanish.

Moved TREATY_TO_EXPIRE from dip2_str.txt to info_str.txt were it was in CTP1. This holds for the English version of these files. For the other languages it was moved directly from cut_str.txt to info_str.txt.

The other diplomatic messeages in cut_str.txt were moved and updated to CTP2 format as well for future reimplementation.

The Spanish cut_str.txt was taken from one of the others probably they are identiacal anyway. However the rest of the Spanish string files are still missing.

Translations are missing as well for the French, Italian, Spanish and Japanese version. Since these strings are from CTP1 it shouldn't be such a big deal to get translations of those. Except for the Japanese version. Except of two files all the files are missing.
