Unfortunetly not working, may colide with other mods...

Indeed ^^
So it’s like, a sort of coding fuse ! That's clever.

The way Civ 6 handles SQL errors is to abort the rest of the file. So I split off the section handling the Gathering Storm compatibility into it's own file which will now instantly abort when that dlc isn't loaded. Previously I was creating a dummy version of part of Gathering Storm to stop it from aborting, but designing it to abort harmlessly instead provides better compatibility with other mods as we've now found out :D.

Oh nice one ! What did you end up doing ?
If it's not too abstruse for a neophyte like me ^^

Never mind, I slept on it and had an epiphany in the morning. It's fixed. Base-game players may notice an error message in the Modding log file but don't worry it's harmless and by design.

Interesting ! All that is a bit like black magic to me though lol
Scout upgrade to map search, that felt like a so random collide !

Well I suppose « base game peasants », like I still was myself just some days ago, are rarer by the day anyway ^^ Thanks for taking a look !

Well I was able to replicate the problem when playing the base game. I was able to identify the problem: The way my mod is providing compatibility for the base game is causing a critical error in the Map Search Extension mod because of the way it checks if the 2nd expansion (Gathering Storm) is loaded.

Unfortunately it's not something I can fix from within this mod (not for lack of trying!). Civ 6 uses sqlite for it's database management which (as the name implies) lacks features of the full sql toolbox which I would need to resolve this problem. The good news is this error is not present when the Gathering Storm expansion is active and everything functions correctly.

No problem !

I should’ve stated that I was playing the base game version, for my mods issues it was very often correlated. I couldn’t really test that exact configuration again, remember what mod nor official content was installed or not ^^

I kept the modlist I used at the time, but if I simply put it back and switch to standard rule the game won’t launch anymore. Can’t simply hide the DLC folder either because I know the game version I had already has some, but which ones…

Though, a mod collide wouldn’t be surprising, I had already many at the time. But that is a strange interaction ! All I know is that, when trying this one, adding it alone was breaking the search function, removing it made it come back. While I don’t really see the link between those two…

I just redid a try now I have the full game, issue’s not there anymore, all working fine !
It was perhaps a weird specific issue, not worth to investigate, if even replicable.

Sorry for the delay Obb, I only saw the steam notification for your comment this morning. Can you give more information about the problem? I downloaded the Map Search Extension mod and it appeared to function properly. Can you replicate the problem with only these 2 mods active?

Well, I wanted to make a game with this mod, after having tried the other one.
But I have a strange collide, if I use it then « Map Search Extension » doesn’t work anymore, it stays stuck on search. I don’t see any similar file though !

Interesting, the Guide ability makes me daydream !
I also want to use « Radiant Better Unit Promotions » for my next game.

Well, trying to add them both creates a monster xD ( I took a picture = https://postimg.cc/14TPWqNF ) So I will not… But I really wish I could do a mix of the two scout tree ! Or, worst case, Simply make this mod overwrite RBUP’s scout.
