What the hell, i had removed the game end screen, i had fixed the research bug, and i had added all demo civs, and now all of a sudden the game won't recognize any of the changes.
Looks like the game found out O_o

I had something similar happen when I tried adding Romans as playable.
Game would crash after fist advisor pop-up, and on next start they would not be playable anymore.

Same exact thing here when I tried to make romans playable.

Yeah looks like those civs do not properly support being playable in the demo, happened with the english civ after 2 turns, the german civ probably behaves similarly.

The Cheat Engine trick for the demo works great. I froze three values at 15. The turn counter always flips back to 15 and the date is stuck, but otherwise the game seems to run normally. I'm probably around 300 turns by now.
As others have pointed out, editing the XML is fucking pointless. It's like when idiots recommended changing RequiresAuthorization to false to "crack" the Dragon Age DLC before the real decrypter was available...please *TEST* before you make claims.

I just realized that edited XML values work once, if Civ5CoreDatabase.db file is deleted from:
Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5 Demo\cache folder
But on next start game, it will use default values, irregardless what is in XML files.
Until you delete that file again, when it will work for another game run.

I'll report back as to whether that XML change makes Babylon playable in the standard edition as soon as it's done downloading. |
The Steam standard edition retail XML is lacking any mention whatsoever of the Babylon civilization, so it doesn't look like it'll be as simple as editing a flag.
Oh well, now we know 
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

Make sure to set steam to offline mode or it will lock civ again after you disconnect from the VPN.

Dammit. I just know it's not going to release until tomorrow which is of course the one day of the week that I will be too busy to play it at all the entire day. My head is going to explode

That torrent is at 3.9% uploaded so far and it will probably take a day at 60kb/s.
The source code, well, it just creates a textfile named rev.ini with some hardcoded text and a shortcut to "RevLoader.exe -appid 8930 -launch launcher.exe". It's actually badly coded and he supplies his own DLL to create the shortcut (I haven't compared the dll with C#'s built in class but I suspect its legit enough).
Aside from that, whether it's legit and whether it will contain viruses will be discovered in.. yeah about 20 hours or however slow 60kb/s is (hint: it's "hella" slow)

I still think it's somewhat hilarious that publishers still, in this day and age of digital distribution, believe that different release dates for different parts of the world are a good, working idea

Well, I just succeeded fixing this by modding CIV5Technologies.xml
By changing Disable tag for TECH_FUTURE_TECH from true to false, game won't hang up when all techs are researched. You'll be able to select future tech and keep playing.
P.S.
I quickly tested it by reducing cost of all other techs to 1. Worked fine, as far as I've seen. |
It also appears you can "remove" the turn limit by going into:
..\Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v - demo\Assets\UI\InGame\Popups\EndGameMenu.Lua
find function OnBack()
replace it with
| Quote: |
function OnBack()
UIManager:DequeuePopup( ContextPtr );
--local languageType = Locale.GetCurrentLanguage().Type;
--if languageType == "de_DE" then
-- Steam.ActivateGameOverlayToWebPage("http://store.steampowered.com/app/8930?l=german");
-- elseif languageType == "it_IT" then
-- Steam.ActivateGameOverlayToWebPage("http://store.steampowered.com/app/8930?l=italian");
-- elseif languageType == "fr_FR" then
-- Steam.ActivateGameOverlayToWebPage("http://store.steampowered.com/app/8930?l=french");
-- elseif languageType == "es_ES" then
-- Steam.ActivateGameOverlayToWebPage("http://store.steampowered.com/app/8930?l=spanish");
-- else
-- Steam.ActivateGameOverlayToWebPage("http://store.steampowered.com/app/8930");
-- end
end
|
(Clicking the buy the game button will let you continue, in theory, haven't tested it in practice since i got no 100 turn saves)
You can also enable the other civs in the aforementioned civ.xml (Barbarian/mini-civs crashes the game) |
i do the stuff for turn limit and that's ok !!! thx dude !

Well, if anyone is curious, you can set up demo to run through RevLoader too. So I wouldn't be surprised if RevLoader is more then enough for full game too.
