Patch for Civilization V to allow modded multiplayer. Currently under development.

mppatch's Issues

Fix the Unknown Leaders for joining players.

Fully document MPPatch's internals

MPPatch doesn't launch on Ubuntu.

Ensure getfenv can't be used to do anything fishy.

Add a build ID to tie the DLC to the binary patch.

Implement a LuaJIT patch feature

Add logging for the installer

Deal with mods with AffectsSaveGame = 0 when loading saved games.

Add integrity checking for additional DLC files.

List mods incompatible with multiplayer and add override.

Disallow users without MPPatch from joining games using it.

Enumerate DLC files in addition to Assets/UI for UI .lua files.

MPPatch doesn't launch on Windows 7.

Allow turning on and off a "debug mode" for both the binary patch and Lua components

Rejoining multiplayer games is unstable.

Joining multiplayer game lobbies is unstable.

Consider switching as many hooks to soft hooks as possible to avoid conflicts.

Investigate InGame/StagingRoom and make sure it's not an issue.

Check for a file lock on all files that will be installed or uninstalled.

Do not try to enable mods the user lacks DLC to activate.

Kick unpatched players who hotjoin a game.

Add checking to make sure you have all the mods used before letting you connect to a server. (client-side)

Enable UI modifications regardless of if MPPatch DLC is enabled.

Add cleanup/revalidate logic for the installer.

Write up proper documentation for MPPatch's usage

Civilization V sometimes freezes while exiting on Linux when MPPatch is installed.

Macintosh OS?

I am having an issue with a Macintosh that is saying its OS isn't accepted when running the .jar file or something and one of the most recent OS is downloaded so i don't understand the problem. However, i do see it was last modified around a year ago and is kinda irreverent. It is running on macos 10.13.4

Log better debugging information.

Properly suppress chat commands in game.

Custom civilizations sometimes display as "Unknown Leader" when a user joins a game.

Display installer errors more cleanly when they occur.

Send the clientIsPatched message earlier in the joining process (if possible somehow.)

Figure out why DiploCorner logs multiple messages for each chat command.

Final code style check & cleanup before release

Check save games for compatibility with the current MPPatch version.

Refactor patch system to define options in the patch data rather than hardcoded in the UI code.

Add a spinlock to all the stuff in net_patch that messes with memory.

Mac Support

• Acquire a Mac, or find a developer with one with reverse engineering skills.
• Find the hook points in the Mac version of Civ V and pray that there's no digital signature or -flto or whatever nonsense to contend with.
• Implement a patch for the Mac version.
• Add Darwin platform to the installer.
• Set up crossosx for CI builds.

Implement loading modded save games

See if it'd be possible to reduce the required Java version to 1.7 or 1.6

Display users who do not have MPPatch installed in StagingRoom.

Register Steam Workshop item IDs for mods in PreGame and offer to automatically download them.

Add pcall barriers for UI hooks.

Sometimes, leaving the mods menu fails to actually disable mods.

Sometimes, it seems that mods aren't successfully disabled after the mods menu is closed. This causes database errors when Civ V tries to activate a mod twice (apparently).

Reproduction steps:

• Enter the mods menu, enabling a few civilization mods.
• Host a multiplayer game.
• Exit the hosted game, and exit the mods menu.
• Disable a civ mod and enable a civ mod.
• Observe that any modded civs from mods you kept enabled across both times you entered the mod mod selection menu are missing.

Avoid duplicating code between softpatch and luapatch output files.

Make a pretty icon!

Enable MPPatch properly when joining game with MPPatch disabled.

Cannot open production menu in "Super Power: Clash of Civilizations"

When playing with the super power: clash of civilizations mod in multiplayer, other players in the game cannot open the production menu. Everything works fine for the host.

Also, when the other player turned their production to automatic and we both ended our turn, the game desynced.

Hotjoining a game doesn't work.

Replace the lobby menus under the modded multiplayer menu with buttons that go straight to hosting.

Kick players who have the wrong protocol version.
