Can't start mod - red square?
So I made a fresh installation, loaded the mod twice, as per the instructions, but when I set up my game and press Start, all I see is a black screen with a big red square in the middle, a slowly flashing "Ready" in the lower left corner (it seems I can press it but nothing happens) and a text "Hint: ERROR: NO HINT FOUND" in the upper left corner. I can move the cursor but that's it.

Any idea what's the problem here?
Thanks!

Possibly a mod conflict, if you have other mods installed.

You should have a look at the logs as described in point 4 here:

Then post any errors here.

I have only your mod installed.

However is it possible your mod can't work with "Users" folders with non-standard characters? When I open the lua.log I can see multiple error messages like this:

***

[41642.593] Runtime Error: Error opening/reading C:\Users\Alea\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization Beyond Earth\MODS\[COLOR_CYAA][COLOR_CYAN]Codex[ENDCOLOR][ENDCOLOR] (v 7)\Lua\Maps\Inland_Sea.lua.
stack traceback:
[C]: in function '(anonymous)'

***

My real User name folder is C:\Users\Aleš.

If this is the case can you see any solution other than renaming my Users folder, which I'm not even sure I can do in Windows 10? Thanks man.

You can change your user name and it should rename the folder automatically, but other than that no, I'm not aware of a solution.

So it was because of that stupid folder. I had to create a new account and login in that. Sheesh.

The mod is fantastic btw, an incredible job. Firaxis modders are the salt of the Earth. And if you add more promotion types for units, Civ5 style, it'd be even better. The constant +10% combat was one of the dullest things about the vanilla.

Thanks. :) And I'm glad you managed to solve the problem, even though it seems to be a rather inconvenient solution!
