1.51 release candidate!

1.51 RC1 is finally done!

Unfortunately, most of the AI settler patches were incompatible and had to be left out. The AI's check for total military strength of all enemies when declaring wars also had to be left out, but everything else applied properly.
Oh except one more, the ability to pick new research when books are found and Spell of Mastery is being researched, this one works but does require the life+death book patch so it had to be made optional.


You can download the patch from my site as usual :
http://seravy.x10.mx/Wordpress/

The link is on the left side, and you need the file MoM151RCXX.zip, where XX is the highest numbered file.  Direct download link.

You can install it over MoM 1.31, 1.40 or 1.50.  Just unzip all the files into your MoM directory and overwrite everything.

This is a release candidate. Although the individual patches have been tested in Caster of Magic, and I fixed all compatibility problems for applying them, further testing is necessary by playing the actual game. Please report any problems you find here!

Woo, I'll try this out tomorrow.

Looking at my notes on things left to do, I found this :
Quote:1.51, remove AI starting relation change.
So yea, question, do we want to make this optional instead of mandatory? I remember someone asked for that.

The other I found is

Quote:make optional "max 10 books for AI and human" patch file for 1.51

Is there a demand for this? It's not readily available, I have to spend some time to find and copy the appropriate changes from CoM. I probably need to pull out an earlier version to extract the code too, the latest has completely replaced the wizard generation.

Also, was there anything else I needed to do? I vaguely remember people asking for adjusting some numerical stuff on AI...tho I would need to know the new numbers for that. Was it the resource advantage? The war checks? Not sure.

Here's a reproducible crash in 1.51RC1. When you press Next Turn, it crashes to DOS with "Giant Strength could not be found for CP." Doesn't crash when loaded with the 1.51 pre edition I've been playing made from the patches you provided recently.

Also had a non-repeatable crash trying to trade with Sss'ra for Heroism and Just Cause. Finally managed to succeed, but two or three times crashed DOSEMU or to a prompt.

And another repeatable one. Move the hero and then hit Next Turn. In DOSEMU (native CPU), I get various crashes. In DOSBox (emulated CPU), I get an infinite hang.

That's odd. Oh...
this one is coming from W303 which is in 1.50. More precisely, it only crashes if the debug mode is turned on...which one patch accidentally did. This does mean the AI couldn't use Giant Strength at all until now. It got accidentally replaced by overland Berserk because that is an existing thing in CoM and GS is not.
Easy to fix both of these.

Confirmed. Crash seems to happen after the last AI's turn. I hasn't managed to locate the patch causing it yet so that'll be left for tomorrow. If you have time, apply patches one at a time (or remove one at a time) and see if you can find the one responsible, it can save me a lot of time. (Only try files that deal with anything on the overland map, or in strategic combat, this clearly isn't happening in human combat, but during or after the last AI player's turn)

I was going to build a bunch of versions of the executables, each with a single patch missing, to help track down the bug, but I noticed that even attempting to apply all of the patches in the Included directory I'm getting a number of errors. Again, this is applying against the 1.40n executables, MD5s c8dc86c57585d239a8713a19ec4b785c and 55c324daf1ddbb5482faf4f7adb8a0a2.

I think the first 1.51 patch is somewhere around 514, lower numbers are already included in 1.50.


There have also been some minor changes that aren't part of patch files, so I recommend starting with the 1.50 executable. (unless you have the bug in 1.50 already)

Also, the included folder
-contains one or two files that are not actually included, I just forgot to delete them, these should have the word "incompatible" on the top (534)
-and some that apply correctly but show warnings anyway, this is also mentioned in the file. (537,539 and 580)

RC2 is up for download. It should fix the above two crashes.
