Linux Issue Tracking

[the-m4a]

I wanted to create a new thread to track the things I saw in Linux. I have managed to get the game started in a Windows Subsystem for Linux environment with the Live Tuner attached. It's very unlikely I'd be able to play an entire game in this environment - it's insanely slow, but it allows me to load up the game and start it and see what's going on.

My start point is using the changes from RustyD, with the modellenspanel.xml and lua files also renamed to the lower-cased version.

Summary of Current Status:

• Still not seeing the minimap function in Exp2 game
• I can see the banner when loading a base game (no expansions, CQUI is only mod loaded)!

[the-m4a]

Starting a new game Mods: Exp1 and Exp2, CQUI, and Better Civ Colors only During game load:

When founding a city - presumably the issue with the city banners not showing in the Expansions:

[Infixo]

All of the above from the CQUI-master branch?

[the-m4a]

Yes - or at least what my VSCode Git was claiming to be master, plus two sets of changes:

1. The changes currently in RustyD's PR (where all CQUI mentions of minimappanel.lua and minimappanel.xml are lower-cased), in the file system and in the modinfo file
2. All CQUI mentions of modallenspanel.lua and and modallenspanel.xml are lower cased

2 was present already in my version of master branch, but I need to verify that this was somehow not a hold-over from the branch where I was updating the ModLens integration. I didn't get the opportunity to take a look last night, and I'm off work next week so I'll have more time to dig back in.

Also, I ended up looking into the instancemanager issue, as it's very confusing in terms of what is happening there. I neglected to paste the line above the error message, but it's that "invalid root element" error. The stuff that CQUI does in that stack above is minimal, citybannermanager_CQUI just immediately calls the base version of CityBanner:Initialize, for example. citybannermanager_CQUI_expansions doesn't make any changes to the objects passed in the parameters, either... so, it's strange, or a situation where this error is popping as the result of something else breaking, but isn't showing up in the Live Tuner.

Also for what it's worth, I did confirm that there is no Lua.log file showing up.

[Infixo]

Can you start a game with the master branch and post lua.log?

[the-m4a]

Here is the lua log from master branch. Expansion 2, Duel sized map, Standard game, CQUI is the only not-Firaxis mod loaded.

[the-m4a]

also - for what it's worth:

• the banners actually load and show in the vanilla (no expansions loaded) game

The City panels appear to show okay (if you can get to the city) in expansion 2 game (this is the game from the lua log above)

[stevenschlansker]

I can confirm that with #220 merged in, Minimap starts working again. City banners are still broken in Gathering Storm. Additionally, I noticed that eventually Game Options gets broken - all text labels disappear. This doesn't seem to happen immediately on mod load but later (e.g. after starting a game) and persists until you unload the mod and restart Civ.

I looked and looked and looked for a lua.log to share but could not find one in my ~/.local/share/aspyr-media/SMCVI/Logs/ although there's many other log files there.

[stevenschlansker]

Ah, it turns out the disappearing game options might be a conflict between CQUI and Concise UI which I had also inadvertently enabled. Sorry for the noise if that's the case.

[stevenschlansker]

I figured out a workaround: if you run ZFS, you can create a case insensitive filesystem:

sudo zfs create -o casesensitivity=insensitive "tank/civ6"

If you move the Civ6 install as well as the CQUI mod install to this new filesystem, the city banners appear again. This leads me to believe the city banners disappearing is another instance of incorrect filename casing. So far I have not noticed any other issues with this workaround.

[stevenschlansker]

Government doesn't work. clicking on the Government icon at the top left doesn't show any box, and if your turn includes a mandatory "Fill Policy Slot" it seems impossible to complete your turn.

This turns out not to be a CQUI problem - it's a Extended Policy Cards related issue. Also fixed by moving the mod to a case-insensitive filesystem :smile_cat:

[the-m4a]

I published my current working branch -- the main thing there is I added a "start" and "end" print statement on every lua file, just so I can easily see which ones actually load. I have managed to get the minimap to load again, but not yet banners. The map and the banners work in vanilla, there's just something about that whole stuff from the expansions that it barfs all over.

The branch is m4a-linuxDec2020 https://github.com/civfanatics/CQUI_Community-Edition/tree/m4a-linuxDec2020

[the-m4a]

It doesn't seem to be picking up the XML files for the city banners... it'll load the lua files, but it doesn't load the CQUI version of the XML. and of course no hint as to why in the Lua output or in the Modding.log file. Weird.

[the-m4a]

Some progress! (Sort of, anyway)... I was able to confirm the theory that the XML Include directives are failing for some reason, though we are still without an effective way to actually determine what's happening.

I did the following to get to this point:

1. Added a citybannermanager.xml to the CQUI Expansion2 CityBanners folder
2. Commented out the and lines in citybannermanager.xml and pasted the entirety of citybannerinstances.xml and cityreligioninstances.xml into the citybannermanager.xml file.
3. Reduced citybannerinstances.xml and cityreligioninstances.xml to nearly nothing (each is now a single declaration of a control I added just to see if I could see it as an object in the Live Tuner).
4. Moved just the banner files their own load spot in the modinfo just to assist with troubleshooting this

So, current status: I will push the changes here to GitHub in case any of y'all wants to try and play a few turns and see what you can see. If you hit an issue please share the savefile, if possible.

Note that this change only currently works for Expansion2, I did not make changes to the Expansion1 files/folders.

I'll keep occasionally poking at this... but perhaps this may be a playable Linux version? @stevenschlansker @alexeyOnGitHub @RustyD

Branch is here: https://github.com/civfanatics/CQUI_Community-Edition/tree/m4a-linuxDec2020

[RustyD]

I've just run a quick-ish test. Base game seems to be ok as far as minimap, access to CQUI settings, city banners and productions queues. Expansion 1, there was a minimap and access to CQUI, but no city banners. Expansion 2, minimap appeared broken, but I did have city banners and productions queues.

[the-m4a]

Thanks @RustyD - it appears I forgot to do the file rename (to the correct casing) on the minimappanel.xml files in Integrations\ML\DLC\Expansion1\UI\Replacements and Integrations\ML\DLC\Expansion2\UI\Replacements folders. I had made the change in the modinfo file and made the change on my local install, but did not do that in the Git branch. I just made the change in the Git branch, so if you download it again (or just rename those minimappanel.xml files to the all-lowercase) then it should work for EXP2?

[RustyD]

@the-m4a I've just done a quick test of EXP2, and the minimap now appears to be working, along with access to the CQUI menu. So, I think everything is good.

[enderger]

Here is what I found from minimal research:

Base Game

• Everything appears fine

R&F

• City banners are missing

Gathering Storm

• Everything appears fine

System

• OS: NixOS Unstable 21.03
• Game: Build 1.0.8.4(212129) (December Patch)

TL;DR

All that is missing is to apply the patch to Rise&Fall.

[enderger]

@stevenschlansker I have experienced that bug with just Concise UI installed, nothing to do with CQUI.

[the-m4a]

I pushed an update to the branch. It includes changes from the current main branch, so there should be no problems with the diplomacy window.

R&F should now work and Base Game and GS should also continue to be funtional. Of note: the GS citybanner XML files no longer contain the hack where I manually pull in the citybannerinstance xml and cityreligioninstance xml. The XML files all do currently contain a container that I added that allows me to verify the file has been loaded as expected...

If GS works and R&F doesn't, then for some reason the CityBannerManager.xml file found in Assets/Expansion1/CityBanners needs to be named with that exact casing. GS would not work when the citybannermanager.xml file had the "proper" casing... it would only work if the file was entirely lower case.

To sum up: CQUI Base Game:

• Assets/UI/WorldView/citybannermanager.xml

CQUI R&F:

Civ 6 Base Game and DLC on my Linux VM:

• all of the XML and LUA file names are lower-case only. The modinfo files that refer those XML and Lua files do not bother to match the all-lowercase casing of the file names... and as far as I know there's no issues, so go figure.

After a full game test with Gathering Storm on NixOS 21.03 unstable, here are the problems I found:

• The notifications appear in a weird place, slightly off the center of the screen
• The CQUI options button above the map does not toggle off when you exit the CQUI settings menu.
• When hovering over some bonuses in the government menu, no tooltip appears.
• Purchasing tiles sometimes requires 2 clicks
• The great person text does not scroll, instead covering the other information

@enderger Thank you so much, much appreciated!

• Notifications: They do exist in an odd spot now, but that should be the same spot as the unmodified game. If I remember correct the CQUI ones are a little bit wider and one of them uses a larger font, but the top-left anchor point is either close or what the unmodified game has.
• CQUI Options: I'll check into that one
• Government Menu: Which bonuses in particular? I don't think we did anything specific there, so that may not be a CQUI thing. I will take a peek if there's specific ones that behave that way.
• Purchasing Tiles: CQUI has logic that if the mouse moves even a little bit when trying to purchase a tile, it does not complete the purchase in order to guard against accidental clicks. It's an issue I've wanted to address for a while, basically I need to do something that only cancels it if the mouse moved 5 pixels in any one direction or something.
• Great Person Text: Can you get me a screen shot?

Happy to help!

• The notifications are a bit more offset in comparison to the normal ones. They need to move a good bit to the right
• The options button is likely just a problem with the base mod, as it seems to be a very small cosmetic issue
• The tooltips seem to be missing for the first bonuses in Autocracy, Classical Republic, Monarchy, Merchant Republic, Facism, Communism, Synthetic Tecnocracy, and Digital Democracy
• While none of the great people in the game have long enough description text to cause the issue, I'll see if I can find one who has this issue.

Regarding the notifications, I actually think that they need to be offset to the right by the width of a notification.

Here, the great admeral is the one with the problem.

I have created a PR (https://github.com/civfanatics/CQUI_Community-Edition/pull/225) that has the changes necessary to get CQUI showing the minimap and the city banners when running on a Linux install. If you could give that branch a go (m4a-linux-203), I would apprecaite it, as I only played the first turn to verify the banner would appear.

I checked that RF, G&S, and Vanilla all appeared functional.

Also will take a peek at some of the things that @enderger reported, probably after Chistmas, especially if the set of changes in that PR are what's needed!

Closing this up as Linux works, basically, and I'll open up a new one of these when needed.
