I was sick of creating shortcuts by hand so I decided to create a Mod Chooser.

This program uses the registry to find the Civ-Path and offers some other functionalities. So you can close this Mod Chooser after starting Civ or configure it to automatically show the last started mod in Civ4/Warlords/BtS.

To install it simply put the .exe into any folder you want, I recommend Desktop, and start it - that's all.

Have fun! :)

Version history:
1.1 - minor bug fixed, actual version (BtS)
1.0 - 452 downloads
0.3 - 850 downloads
0.2 - 11 downloads
0.1 - only internal testings

UNeverNo,

Nicely done. Best I have seen/used.

Thank you very much for making. I like that you can mod choose for Civ4 vanilla AND Warlords...

Regards,

Hello folks,

I made an update, because I forgot to look for Mods in MyDocuments. :mischief:
Please download the new version 0.3.

If you do have any ideas how to make the program better - post it ;)

I finally made a screenshot ;)

Awesome program. Keep up the good work.

Love it! Thank you

Thanks alot for this handy program, great work! :)

good work. the old mod starter is going in the recycle bin

Awesome work. Absolutely love it and use it now. Thank you for sharing your work.

Thank you for this helpful utility :)

After playing my first Civ4 Mod I immediately began wishing for a program just like this. Thank you.

@UNeverNo: i downloaded and extracted your mod chooser, but it doesn't work, nor in Civ4 nor in Warlords, it says:

Run-time error '9':
subscript out of range
i don't have any idea of how to fix it.Can you help me, please? I do appreciate, thanks.

Mhh hard to find an error without debugging the code. And I don't get such error at my machine :(
I'm going to update the tool for BtS - I will take a closer look then, ok? :)

Many thanks for this great program.

Do you have any idea when do you update this program for Beyond the Sword expansion?

This week, maybe today - we'll see :)

Here we go - now Bts-compatible :scan:

@rebakan: Sorry, I can't find any error, but I now implemented some error handling stuff - maybe this will help :crazyeye:

thanks alot for the Bts update :goodjob:

Very nice :goodjob:
My one gripe with it is that the text could be bigger, I don't mean huge, but maybe 14-20 font instead of 12.
Also, if you could make the menus just show all the mods without scrolling, that would be nice too.
And there is one small bug. It says "BTS pure" for the warlords slot by default and there is no default for the BTS slot.

Overall very nice and simple with no clutter. I'm surprised I didn't find this sooner.

Thx ... very easy and straight forward way to start mods in Civ4. I will be using this quite a bit.

It says "BTS pure" for the warlords slot by default and there is no default for the BTS slot.

I didn't notice a "BTS pure" in the Warlords slot but there was not an option (default) in the BTS slot (was blank). Easy to work around as the drop-menu had the right stuff under BTS. Might want to fix for a polished release however ;)

I've been wondering if you updated it with BTS. Just now got around to checking. I really like this application. Thanks!

I'm also showing "BTS Pure" in the Warlords box and the BTS box is empty. Any chance it'll be fixed?

I need to take a closer look. Unfortunately I haven't installed VB on my machine atmo...

Updated. I adressed the wrong combo-box ;)

Thanks for the update!

The link on your DL page is broken due to hack attack as per Administrator announcement "Forum Security Breach...":(

OMG quite bad backup I'd say ^^

Fortunately the link in this thread still works...

Link fixed!:)

EDIT: lol - the link you just put in the previous post links to this thread!

Very handy. Thanks!

Definitely saved alot of time and hassle. Thanks!

Program says "Oops! Unable to find key to path of Civ4 in Registry..." I have not put Civ4 in the usual location, but it's the point of the program to find it anyway, right?
