:nuke: ABOUT

I’ve put alot of time into making this modpack and hopefully you'll enjoy the fruits of my labor. HiTM is an ongoing project I have been working on since August 2006, shortly after the Warlords release. Being an avid fan of the Civilization series since 1991, I created this Modpack so that I could enjoy Civilization IV even more. While the game itself is fantastic, there were many aspects of it that I thought could be improved upon. HiTM is my version of how Civilization IV should be.

History in the Making is a complete conversion style modpack. It adds a little bit of everything, while trying not to change too many elements of the game just "for the sake of change". Every new addition and change has been carefully planned to achieve both historical accuracy as well as fun gameplay. Hundreds of new flavor units, unit classes, buildings, wonders, religions, corporations, civilizations, promotions, resources and interface colors are included. This mod is also comprised of many modcomps by some of the most prominent mod makers in the CivFanatics community!

Consider History in the Making as Beyond the Sword, "with a twist".

So sit back, relax, grab the beverage of your choice and enjoy HISTORY IN THE MAKING!

PATCHES:

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD PATCH v2.02! (http://dodownload.filefront.com/12057244//0dec8ba6c61c0579e1f2cae83b8c1b8094d702286f2f7b7574 c59e3a697126b8e07cb6a724fc67b4)

INTERIM FIX UNTIL PATCH v2.03:
See Post #2268 (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=7344651&postcount=2268) for some quick text fixes for Super Spy mod, and a tweak to Game Speed settings. Install this interim fix AFTER you install Patch v2.02! This will be included in the next patch.

See below for updating optional Modules that come with new patches:


To make updating optional modules as easy as possible, I’ve decided to zip the entire module up with the new changes and include it in the patch.

Simply unzip the zip file somewhere (Desktop, root HiTM directory, etc) and then place the module into the Assets/Modules directory. When asked to overwrite, click “yes”.

Easy as that.


It is recommended any time you download a new patch, that you unzip the Module zip file, just incase there were any changes.




OPTIONAL MODULES:

No optional modules for v2.01 yet!


OPTIONAL MAPS:

No optional maps for v2.01 yet!


:nuke: RECOMMENDED GRAPHICAL & TERRAIN ENHANCEMENTS:

If you want to spice up your copy of Civ4, there are a couple really great terrain graphic enhancement mods out there. Use these mods to make your landscape and terrain look alot better than vanilla Civ4 graphics! You don't even need to worry about installing these into your copy of HiTM. These will work just fine if you install them into your CustomAssets folder.

Improved Graphics for Civilization IV (http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=10822). This is the one I personally use for my graphics. History in the Making already includes the Leaderheads from this mod in it. I left out the terrain graphics, but if you want the whole "Colonization" look to your game, download this and give it a try. I love it.

Blue Marble Project (http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=6). I used this mod for years before I switched over to Improved Graphics. A huge jump in quality over the vanilla terrain graphics, give this one a try and see if you like it!


:nuke: MODPACK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS


So easy a Caveman can do it.

Either extract the mod to your Desktop (default install method) or specify a specific directory for the installer to extract to. If you choose to extract directly to your MODS folder, do just that. No need to create a “History in the Making” directory. The installer will do that for you. See below for where to extract History in the Making to, if you choose not to extract to your Desktop.

If you extract to you Desktop, simply cut/paste the HISTORY IN THE MAKING folder to ONLY this location:

C:/Program Files/Civilization IV/Beyond the Sword/Mods/
(or where ever you installed your copy of Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword)


WARNING!
Installing History in the Making to your My Documents/Beyond the Sword/Mods folder WILL NO LONGER WORK!
The reason is because of the new interface colors, which require the mod to be placed in your main Civilization IV/Beyond the Sword/Mods directory.

I also recommend you clear you Civilization IV’s cache before installing HiTM 2.00, and also before installing any subsequent patches. If you do not know how to clear your Civ4 cache, do a search on the forums.

CAUTION!
If you have a version of History in the Making that is older than v2.00, you must delete the older mod before installing v2.00 into your MODS folder. Do not attempt to overwrite an older version of HiTM with v2.00! You have been warned!



:nuke: OPTIONAL MODULE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (That are included with subsequent patches)


To make updating optional modules as easy as possible, I’ve decided to zip the entire module up with the new changes and include it in the patch.

Simply unzip the zip file somewhere (Desktop, root HiTM directory, etc) and then place the module into the Assets/Modules directory. When asked to overwrite, click “yes”.

Easy as that.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: How do I change the interface colors?
A: Read the supplied Readme, specifically Chapter 7.

Q: How do I correctly install History in the Making?
A: Download the mod and read the supplied Readme.

Q: I have AVG anti-virus and my virus scan says that the HiTM .exe files are infected with a Trojan Horse!
A: Please read Post #1619 (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=6586359&postcount=1619). This is a false positive reading with AVG anti-virus software. Nothing to be alarmed about.

Q: There is a new feature I noticed in HiTM that isn't in the vanilla BtS. What does it do?
A: Read the supplied Readmes.

Q: How do I get the vanilla BtS map scripts to show up? All I see are the ones you included in the mod.
A: This requires making a change in the History in the Making.ini file. See this post (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=6445033&postcount=1177) for details.

Q: I keep getting Crash to Desktop (CTD) and....
A: Before reporting a CTD, please see Post #4 (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=5541385&postcount=4). It might be able to help you out.

Q: There are some aspects of this mod that I want to enable/disable, don't like or just want adjust to my liking a little better. What do I do?
A: Several mod components are customizable via the History in the Making Config.ini file in the root directory. Check it out. Several more mods are also customizable via the GlobalDefines.xml and GlobalDefinesAlt.xml files located in the Assets/XML folder. You can also enable/disable almost all mods included into HiTM with these three files. Tweak till your hearts content.

Q: I have the Civ Complete DVD and I can't get this mod to work. Why?
A: Civ Complete uses different directory and registry settings that prevent HiTM to work correctly. But, thanks to Azzer, he's found a work around so users of the Civ Complete DVD can safely play HiTM. See Post #787 (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=6367135&postcount=787) to read how he fixed the problem. For further reading, please see this thread (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=6362984&postcount=768) as well as this thread (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=6363010&postcount=769) for some background information on why Civ Complete DVD doesn't work with HiTM (until you perform Azzer's fix).

Q: How do I correctly install and play other modular Civilizations?
A: The only modification I see you needing to do in order to let other modular Civilizations work (Civ Gold, etc) is to replace their Schema files with ones copied out of the HiTM directories You also need to point the modular Civ's XML files to those new Schema files instead of the original ones supplied with the modular Civ. See this post (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=6428915&postcount=1080) and this post (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=6430687&postcount=1093) for further details.

Q: Is History in the Making multi-player compatible?
A: I don't play Civilization in multi-player, so in turn I didn't design this mod to be played in multi-player. Use multi-player "at your own risk". This mod was strictly designed to be a single-player game only.

Q: I've downloaded History in the Making (a number more than once) times already, and it's still not working?
A: You only need to download the mod once. Multipule times aren't going to change anything. Make sure you installed the mod correctly the first time, read the readme and installation directions carefully. Nothing magical is going to change between the first download and the hundredth time you download it. ;)

Q: The Pedia won't open and many pop-up windows don't work. What's wrong?
A: Sounds like a Python issue. Make sure you installed the mod correctly. If you installed the mod correctly and didn't tamper with any Python files, you should not have any problems, as I test everything out before I release it. But since I can't have every possible hardware configuration known to man, please post the contents of your PythonErr log so I can see what's going on in your game.

Q: I can't figure out how to use your custom maps/scenarios?
A: Simple: Simply place the map/scenario into your HISTORY IN THE MAKING\PublicMaps directory. To play, simple double click on the scenario.

Q: I try to play one of the pre-made Scenarios/Maps that game with BtS, and the mod crashes. Why?
A: Since I modify the DLL, these Scenarios/Maps will not work. The only scenarios that will work are ones specifically designed for HiTM.

Q: How drastic do you change the original game?
A: While some minor tweaks were necessary for the sake of game balance, I tried my absolute best to keep all the "stock" units, buildings, etc, as true to the original game as possible. What I focused on was adding new content in the form of Units, Techs, Wonders, Buildings, Civs, etc.

Q: Will you add new mods to History in the Making after you release it?
A: If they're worth putting in (and after extensive testing), I'll add new SDK/Python mods as they're released.

Q: I have have a (other than English version of BtS) and would like it in my (other than English language). Can you make that?
A: Since English is the only language I speak, I probably will not do an other-than-English language version. However, if you would like to take on the challenge of translating everything to your native language, feel free to do so. The reason I only use <English> tags was, again, I only speak English... and because having <French>, <German>, <Spanish>, etc tags in the XML that I don't utilize makes the files larger.

Q: I use the English version of Civ 4, but I live in (a non-English country) and this mod isn't working! Why?
A: Many people from what I call "foreign" countries have reported CTD issues with this mod. I do not officially offer support for users in foreign countries trying to play this mod. I'm sorry, but you're just not the target audience for this mod. This mod was designed for English speaking users only, located in the USA, UK and Australia. Other-than-English versions of Civ 4, BtS, or your Operating System may prevent this mod from working properly. I cannot help you with these issues.

Q: I get no text in my (non-English) version. Why?
A: Again, I only use <English> tags. If you have BtS set up for say, French, my mod has no <French> tags so all text will come up blank. The only way to fix this is to install Civilization & BtS in ENGLISH. By doing that your game will read from the English tags, and not from non-English tags (Spanish, French, German, etc).

BUG REPORTING & OTHER TYPO ERRORS:


Besides the obvious Crash to Desktop (CTD’s) and other fatal errors that prevent gameplay, also report the following, for example:

- Gameplay balancing issues
- Typographical errors
- “Red Blobs” for unit/building graphics
- Functions that should be working, but aren’t.


If you do get a reoccurring CTD, please post your save game on the official thread so I can take a look at it.

Also, please supply the following information when reporting a CTD:

- Map you were using (include size, map script, any options you set).
- What operating system are you using? (XP, Vista... is it 32-bit, 64-bit, etc).
- What Civs were in the game (or were selected to play on the map).
- The Civ you were using.
- If the CTD occurs while loading HiTM or a map, please try and tell me where on the loading bar the CTD occurs
(during the XML load, Player Setup, etc).

Also, it wouldn't hurt to look at the log files. You can copy and post them up on the forums for me to look at. It really helps alot. :)

Also, if you're getting other Python/XML errors, please post up the contents of the approperiate log file. It's alot easier for me to read your error logs than it is sometimes for me to decypher what you're trying to explain. :)

If you don't know how to enable logging, see the example CivilizationIV.ini file I provided. It should help you set up the correct settings to allow Modular Loading, Error Logging, etc. Below is how I have my INI file set up...

KNOWN UNRESOLVED BUGS:

ISSUE #1:
- See Posts #826 (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=6378632&postcount=826) and #829 (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=6379042&postcount=829). A CTD occurs when you try to pillage a tile improvement that is not within Cutural Borders. To avoid this CTD, simply do not pillage improvements not within Cultural Borders. All improvements within Cultural Borders are unaffected by this. I'll try and fix this as soon as I can, but I am not proficient enough in C++ to draft my own code, so please be patient.

ISSUE #2:
- With the update to v3.17, the JUnitReligion mod no longer works. This will get corrected just as soon as possible.


Of course, suggestions/feedback are also welcome. I’m always looking for second opinions to make HiTM better.

if only i had warlords i'll download this thing... but i'll be waiting for BtS version...

oh, and one thing. what's up with Hussein?

Glad to see you FINALLY got it up and running will try it out!;)

Wish you had used the American Flag, if you need here it is:


EDIT: Got some art errors you want then here or PM??

I got 2nd d/l, just missed first, darn!!

You can either PM me, or post them here, either way is cool with me.

wow grave,

im impressed.....now visa has abig competator :)

for real man, you did one heck of a job, take my top off :)

say - have you tested the game for a length of turns?
maybe you can aid me - i encountered a problem with the 3d civics,
the merchant gave astronomical values to food hammers and commerance - have you checked it?

if this mod would work on mp game.....it would be even greater.

so again - im really impressed. great job.

OK The one marked in red (partisan) is just a kfm art error is all, does not move, its acts like a stiff unit now.
The one marked in yellow (protestor) when used causes a crash.
i think its the spelling:ARTFILE should be: ProtesterRenissance, you have: ProtesterReniassance
Unitfile reads: PROTESTER_RENAISSANCE, art reads: PROTESTER_RENIASSANCE

Hope this helps, also, the time in between each turn, even on QUICK is a long time???:(

I'm going to give it a shot, looks interesting!

I like it but I'm getting CTD right after the barberians form up and empire.

It occurs a few turns after this save.

Well shoot... I thought I fixed all the "Reniassance" typos. I could never spell that word correctly, thanks for pointing that out! :lol:

I'll look into that KFM file, I thought I put the right one, I guess I didn't.

Were you able to fix them on your end to make them work? In other words, is it a quick fix?

Hope this helps, also, the time in between each turn, even on QUICK is a long time???:(


I guess it depends on what kind of setup you have.

For example, I have an E6700 CPU, 2gb of Ballistix RAM and a 8800GTS card. I really didn't slowdown that bad... even up until 1800AD it was fine. There was about a 10 second delay between turns, but nothing longer.

That's the problem with these huge ass mods... the longer you play, the more they bog your system down, and if it's not top of the line, unfortunately you feel the burn late in the game. :(

I like it but I'm getting CTD right after the barberians form up and empire.

Thanks... I'll have a look at it.

The problem you were having with the 3d Civics... was it in my mod, or on something you were working on? Because I know what you're talking about... I ran into that problem when I was merging it with my mod a few months back, but I was able to fix it.

Shoot me a PM... we'll sort it out. :)

Well, I guess this will be good news for you...


... the first time I loaded this save, abou 2 turns later, I got a CTD when the Chinese were formed from a barbarian city.

So I loaded up the game again and used the AutoPlay feature (SHIFT+CTRL+X) and let the game auto play for 2 rounds. Nothing happened. So I played a round then AutoPlayed again for 3, then played a round, then AutoPlayed for 5, played a round then AutoPlayed for 10 rounds. No CTD. :)

So if you're getting a CTD when a Civ forms from Barbarians, try giving the AutoPlay feature a shot. It seemed to work for me.

Yup... just as I suspected. I mispelled "Renaissance" in a few key areas. I was able to fix them, so no more CTD. I also fixed the animations for the Industrial Era Partisan, turns out he didn't use the Rifleman.kfm... he uses the Infantry.kfm. Sorry! :blush:


Anyway, see post #2 (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=5541379&postcount=2) for a patch.

Awesome, looking forward to checking it out. Nice work!

Yeah i hear ya, i thought it used the infantry:p , i have mainly worked on two MODs by myself, so i know how frustrating it can be at time. Thats why i have asked for help with mine all the time. But in the long haul, its worth it. ;)
Glad to have helped if you need anything else just give me a jingle.:p

btw, i have a 3Gz, 2G ram, 250 HD,and in the beginning it does usually take around 10 seconds, (no problem), but then after turn 125, it starts taking around 20 seconds, one actually took 30 seconds, 20 & 30 does add up fast!!


Do you mind if i use some of your ideas and units etc to use in a MOD??

EDIT: Had a hardcrash and found out it was the attached problem, the civ came from some place then a barb took over , i think, and caused the crash!:confused: If you want saved game i can send.

Also the Religious Lae Icon shows up pink here, but when i looked at it in the civopedia it was correct, wierd??? see attached also.:blush:

This lookx absolutely amazing, shame I have a maths exam this morning!!!

This mod is awesome, but I there are some things I dislike

-One of the Reason why I dislike this game a bit is that almost every unit out there got a Flavor Unit Icon, I cannot instantly tell which is which, so please give them some Icons or default Icons.

-The Lag is worse in this game, this game need keal's Speed Mod in so that I can get into renaissance then a 30 second hangtime per turn.

-I've noticed that some of the religions have no temples like the Norse, hellianism, mexica, and Egyptians gods. I also seen that there are hardly leaders have there faviorate religions like Confucianism, and the new religions, including Mexica.

those are the three problems that I don't like about this game, This game is awesome if you can at least solve my two problems.

I also want to request

-Add in a custom soundtrack for this mod, for each and every age out there then the default music which is now annoying me.

-allow us to disable some religions so that I don't have 1 civilization per religion, (13 Civs = 13 Religions). It will totally reduce the lag a bit once I be able to have 4 civs and 4 religions.

-I seen some immagrants coming to town and so forth, however I don't see civilian ships coming to my cities by sea or air. So please make a ship or a airplane that carries people from town to town.

Firaxis Wonder movies don’t play. The Wonder movies I included play just fine, however. This is only a graphical glitch and does not affect gameplay.

Fix for Firaxis Wonder movies don’t play {{ CIV4ArtDefines_Movie }} Place in the folder Assets/XML/Art overwrite yours. Firaxis Wonder movies will then play.

I'll try this asap :) Looks very interesting :) I love to play great mods with many features :)

Do you consider adding new nations in future updates?
For example: Poland? :mischief:

I have couple of UU and there's couple more that could be found on cfc or could be created.
- Husaria (if i remember well - maded by Psyx)
- Polish WW2 Cavalry (made by kodzi, i suggest anti tank bonus - it was well prepared agains tanks with many anty tank guns)
- 7TP as Tank (by me) or even better PT-91 Twardy as modern tank (this unit is on my to do list already)
- PZL.23 Karaś (by me) or PZL.37 Łoś (by snafusmith) replacing bomber.

There's also very nice 3D LH of Jan III Sobieski and Kazimierz the Great and model of Sejmi - unique building replacing courthouse - maded by kodzi. I have also button and team flag supporting team collours.

Nice work Grave. Congrats on getting it out. :goodjob:

Yeah ! Long life to your mod !

Yeah ! Long life to your mod !

amen to that!

when I started a game germany got a great engineer within five turn and boult the great wall within ten turn in the game. also I try to convert to a religion and I couldn't , Just a coulple of bugs I found but cool mod

The reason why you cannot convert is because you need a civic to be able to like fundamentalism or any other religions that don't have a no state religion blocker.

finaly ive been waiting for this

Don't I at least get a nod for CSGP? :(

:joke:

Having been eagerly awaiting it since November ;), I will download this later today and give you my thoughts. On first glance, I say HOO-RAH!

Congratulations Grave, I'm downloading as I type :goodjob:

- Civics have been totally overhauled – Choose carefully because Civics now have pros/cons that may drastically affect your citizens!
i know where you got that idea form

can you add constitutional monachy same as representation but with exp bonus and high upkeep avialable with vassalage ish.

I played it, but the problem I saw was:

1) I founded Buddhism and someone already built the Roman Roads... WTF?

2) My city kept going from normal down to revolting, and back to normal. I couldn't get anything built or fixed because of that crap.

I basically felt the other civs built improvements WAY too fast and I couldn't keep my cities happy enough no matter what I did. The idea is a very good one, but a little more realism would be nice.

Awesome MOD! Everything a civfanatic could ask for. Better AI, DALE components, Airforce, MAD ...... wow

Although,

Turn time was a problem when I tried this mod last night. I removed Fort mod, and some others but did not see how to remove immigration mod, as this seemed to really lag my system. (No ini file?)

I play all new mods on noble so i can build everything, but the AI was going supercharged, building improvements and units twice as fast as i could.. technology was much cheaper for AI too, although I did not check, it seemed this way. I know you have integrated AI Mod, but I have played AI mod before on noble and was still 500+ points ahead of any civ by 1500 AD.

Around 1600 - 1700 AD I had a CTD. I reloaded a 1 turn prior save but CTD again. I have the save if you would like it for debugging.

Anyhow, nice work and effort!

aye, AI seems to not even switch to the new civics as well, but I've been hearing about revolts and new civilizations that appeared being destroyed like the Romans and the Zulus. I wish the AI's are not cheaters, so I don't have a major problem with them.

Civics are overhauled a bit too much in my opinion, their are too many modifiers on each one, average of 6. The display window can at most hold 4 lines and anything more then that is too hard to analyze, also many of the modifiers are trivially small and constitute mere 'noise'. I'll see if I cant get around to slashing them down while still preserving the core uniqueness of each.

I think something is wrong with the victory conditions... or achieving victory anyway. Last night I got elected Secretary General (and won diplomatically) but that didnt end the game for some reason, so i built and launched a spaceship... same problem. so i nuked everyone and conquered the world... but it still didnt end. BLAH! haha. otherwise very nice, though i never figured out how to get Egyptian Mythos or any of those other religions... I saw them in that tech box at teh VERY end of the tree, but could never figure it out... BTW Christianity is WAYYYYY more powerful than any other religion in this mod. perhaps that is something to be tweaked slightly. I dont know how exactly, buy maybe beef up some of the other religions a bit... add the Kaaba, Dome of the Rock, etc. some sort of upgrades for the Mosques at the very least. BTW that early Great wall thing... First to Masonry gets a Great Engineer... its lots of fun when you get it :)

The Globe Theatre Wonder movie does not play this needs fix

This needs fix bigtime
Barbarian Civ CTD like mice said When Barbs form up and empire the game always CTD this needs fix

Awesome, thanks for all the feedback, fellas! :)

I'll read these post a little more in depth later tonight and provide answers. I kinda figured some aspects were unbalanced, but that's what a beta is for, right? :)

More to come later tonight. I'll also get with jdog5000 about the CTD's to BarbarianCiv and Revolution.

Have any of you guys with CTD's try the AutoPlay method I suggested? Look on the first page somewhere for what I did. I play tested somebody's save file where they would get a CTD in the same spot all the time. I played that turn (and several others) via AutoPlay and the CTD never happened.

Anyway, more to come later...

This looks very cool, I am downloading it now. I love more units!

I just wish someone like you would make a Stargate Mod. :help:

-One of the Reason why I dislike this game a bit is that almost every unit out there got a Flavor Unit Icon, I cannot instantly tell which is which, so please give them some Icons or default Icons.

Sorry, but there's no way I'm going through over 100 units and adding the approperiate icons. :lol:

I know it's a little different doing it the way I did, but it made doing units that much faster, other wise I'd probably still be working on it, trying to find unique icons for each flavor unit!

--The Lag is worse in this game, this game need keal's Speed Mod in so that I can get into renaissance then a 30 second hangtime per turn.

I haven't run into this problem on my system. That's the downside to playing a huge mod. Kael's SpeedMod won't help either, because his mod removes all Python from game, something my mod requires.

-I've noticed that some of the religions have no temples like the Norse, hellianism, mexica, and Egyptians gods. I also seen that there are hardly leaders have there faviorate religions like Confucianism, and the new religions, including Mexica.

See this post (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=5517041&postcount=197).

I also want to request

-Add in a custom soundtrack for this mod, for each and every age out there then the default music which is now annoying me.

-allow us to disable some religions so that I don't have 1 civilization per religion, (13 Civs = 13 Religions). It will totally reduce the lag a bit once I be able to have 4 civs and 4 religions.

-I seen some immagrants coming to town and so forth, however I don't see civilian ships coming to my cities by sea or air. So please make a ship or a airplane that carries people from town to town.

What you ask is beyond my programming abilities. I can merge mods together, I can't create my own code. :(

Too much music will be a bit much, not only that but it'll make the download file much bigger, something I want to keep as minimal as possible.

Firaxis Wonder movies don’t play. The Wonder movies I included play just fine, however. This is only a graphical glitch and does not affect gameplay.

Fix for Firaxis Wonder movies don’t play {{ CIV4ArtDefines_Movie }} Place in the folder Assets/XML/Art overwrite yours. Firaxis Wonder movies will then play.

THANK YOU! :goodjob:

This was driving me nuts, I couldn't figure out why the Firaxis Wonder movies weren't playing. I'll include this in the next patch, but in the mean time I highly recommend players download your fix.

Also, thanks for the various sound fixes... they'll be in the next patch, too.

Do you consider adding new nations in future updates?
For example: Poland? :mischief:



Hmmm... once I get the major bugs squashed, perhaps I could add Poland. :mischief:

I always liked the Polish Leaderheads that were available out there. I'll be contacting you when it's time to add them in. ;)

I played it, but the problem I saw was:

1) I founded Buddhism and someone already built the Roman Roads... WTF?

2) My city kept going from normal down to revolting, and back to normal. I couldn't get anything built or fixed because of that crap.

Roman Roads? I don't think I ever added Roman Roads to my mod. You sure you're not mistaken for ViSa? :confused:

The culture shrink/grow during revolts thing I did find very annoying. Believe me, it was pissing me of too. I'll have to ask jdog5000 about that and see if there is a way to disable that, or at the least minimize it's occurance.

It's tricky to keep your people happy. I was able to find a way, but it's rough during the Ancient era to say the least. But maybe it is a bit overpowered. I know the Civics don't help much, I think they're going to need rebalanced.

Yeah, I agree. Sometimes "more" isn't always "better". I agree with the "noise". Looking at all that sometimes makes choosing which Civic you want a little confusing. I'll try and slim the Civics down a little, but at the very least try and have 1 negative characteristic per civic.

BTW Christianity is WAYYYYY more powerful than any other religion in this mod. perhaps that is something to be tweaked slightly. I dont know how exactly, buy maybe beef up some of the other religions a bit... add the Kaaba, Dome of the Rock, etc. some sort of upgrades for the Mosques at the very least. BTW that early Great wall thing... First to Masonry gets a Great Engineer... its lots of fun when you get it :)

Glad you like the Great Engineer with Masonry. :) It always irked me that you couldn't build the Pyramids very early in the game. Now you at least have a chance to. I also plan on adding other kinds of Great People to other early techs, just to balance it out.

I'll also look into rebalancing the Religions a little more. My intent was to make Christianity a "neutral" religion, without many perks/disadvantages itself. But instead give it access to more Wonders than any other Religion.

I'll have to tweak that too, though.

Oh one more thing... if you'd be so kind... please post any savegames that might shed some light on any bugs you find like CTD, etc. I'd like to take a look at them.

Thanks!

well, I can hardly play your game if it's going to lag up everytime, and I don't got much of a good computer. I really need the money to upgrade my computer till I don't suffer any lag from this game or BtS.

Memory is the cheapest upgrade you can get for this game that will improve your performance.

Yea sorry I didn't get back to you on that. It works fine if you go 10 turns of AI auto play.

Requests; buttons! I need buttons for the units.Dont care if they're the old original buttons.

Immigration mod option to take it out would be good if it is leading to a lot of lag.

Other than that good fun to play.

Unfortunately, I don't think BTS is going to be any more CPU friendly as far as lag goes. From what I read on here it's the Python that lags the game, and most Modpacks heavily rely on Python, and so is BTS from what I understand. :(

I know it sucks, man. :(

It's weird how AIAutoPlay is a bandaid fix for the CTD issue with BarbarianCivs. I don't think you even need to go as far as 10 turns, I think if you just AIAutoPlay the round that causes the CTD and maybe 1-2 rounds afterwards for safe measure you should be OK.

Of course this is still unacceptable, and a proper fix must be researched. But until then, keep using AIAutoPlay when you suspect a CTD. And AutoSave often. ;)

If the Immigration Mod is causing alot of headache for people, then I can always disable it. Actually, you guys can disable it too. You should be able to disable it either by opening up CvCustomEventManage.py and put a "#" infront of import CvImmigrationEventManager and CvImmigrationEventManager.CvImmigrationEventManage r(self).

VERY nice mod you have here, very nice indeed ;)

the only grumble please load to civfanatics please

I'm having too many python error popups.
I get some sound errors shown in the main window, which I don't care since I don't play with sound, but this happens often.
Python errors come mostly linked to Revolution. I didn't keep track of the tracebacks, but there are many many errors. I know I could disable the python error popups and not even see them but it's annoying as hell to change the settings just to play this mod.
Is it me or are the resources far more common than without the mod?

I don't believe he can upload it to CivFanatics, as it's too large.

Will the 48 civ DLL work with this? I tried it and it didn't.

Will the 48 civ DLL work with this? I tried it and it didn't.


You'll need a new DLL in order for that to work. Mine has a DLL, but I can't remember if I changed the max number of Civs or not. If I didn't, the next time I recompile the SDK files, I'll up it to like 24 or something.

You're crazy if you play with 48 civs at the same time! :eek: :lol:



Tonight I'm going to test something. I'm gonna disable BarbarianCiv, Revolution and Immigration and see how things run, as it seems most people's headaches are stemming from these three mods.

Heres some work on Civics, trimmed off lots of modifiers, pumped some up to be larger/significant and aimed for what I though would be more balanced. It likly still needs more work. I'll see if I can do a write up later, as for now I'm going to bed.

Awesome Impaler! :goodjob:


I'll check these out later tonight.


In the mean time, I found out there was a new release of Revolution, so I recompiled the SDK and incorporated it. One of the new changes is being to disable the "minor revolts" from making your cultural borders shrink and grow every other turn (keeping you from building tile improvements at times).

So far it's working well... I got a few CTD's so I'm still looking into that.

More to come later.

When I went to upload it, it said there was a 30mb limit? :confused:



Well, I've been playing most of the night with Immigration Mod and BarbarianCiv turned off, and haven't run into a single crash! ;)

I'll play it more tomorrow afternoon, and if all goes well, I'll release the next patch, which will have a decent share of fixes.

First off, thanks for all the work you did putting this together. :goodjob:

I ran into a weird bug while playing last night. I attached a savefile below. I'm playing as Huayna Capac, and I'm about to attack the Japanese city Nara. However, on the next turn all of my troops next to the city get moved one space away back into my territory, and no matter how many times I move them back they keep getting kicked out. Makes it rather difficult to conduct a war...:rolleyes:

This mod secretly put in an invisible Congress/Parliament and they disapprove of your war against Japan, so they're forcing you to withdraw your troops :p

That would actually be a great feature! I started a thread a while back on redoing the Senate for Civ 4, but it never got anywhere...

I have the Senate as a Wonder in HITM, although all it does is allow access to all Government Civics. :)


Well, I'm still playing the game I started last night with Immigration and BarbarianCiv disabled (I'm playing as Israel), and so far no crashes what so ever. :)

Maybe it was Immigration and BarbarianCiv conflicting?

My next test after this game is to disable Immigration only and see what happens.

I also found some minor stupid bugs that I fixed, which will be released in the next patch here in a a day or two (the weekend at THE latest).

I LOVE your compilation mod :goodjob:

how do you turn 0ff the barb and immagration mod I do not know thanks

i prefer that conflicts are avoided perhaps that immigration and barbarian suppressed... :)

Viva revolution and viva barbarians who transform in civs :)

how do you turn 0ff the barb and immagration mod I do not know thanks


Look in the Config.ini files in the root History in the Making directory, as well as the Revolution Config.ini that you need to place in the Vanilla Civ4 "Mods" directory.


To turn off Immigration Mod (since it doesn't have a Config.ini file) see this post (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=5547218&postcount=47).

This mod secretly put in an invisible Congress/Parliament and they disapprove of your war against Japan, so they're forcing you to withdraw your troops :p

I knew it! Damn Democrats in Congress, always screwing things up for us warmongers! ;)

Maybe it was Immigration and BarbarianCiv conflicting?

I don't think that's it, because the Revolution mod also has these crashes if you use BetterAI. It's some kind of conflict with BetterAI and BarbarianCiv.

If Immigration is slowing things down, another thing you can try (besides disabling it altogether) is to limit the number of immigrant units per city or civ...there's config options for that. (I'm not sure how you would set that in this mod, though, since there doesn't seem to be an Immigration Mod.ini file...)

Alright I have a couple questions.

1. What are the immigrents? and what do they do? I see them on my land is this a good thing or bad?

2. How do I stop my cities from revolting? I got religion, units and good happyness (apparently at least) but I still got like 7 angry citizens who revolt every couple turns and now they want to break off and form own empire!

1) It can be good or bad. Good: if they're coming from another civilization to settle in your lands. Bad: They're leaving your cities to go to other civilizations.

2) The best way to stop cities from revolting is with culture. It's very tricky in the Ancient era, but it is possible, as I've done it in several test games so far. Once I merge Revolution v0.90 (current version is 0.85), there is an option in the Revolution Config to limit the fluxuation of culture when there is a revolt in the city, which makes playing this mod ALOT better.

Expect to see the next patch within a couple days, I've been finding alot of little stuff I overlooked before.

Also, the current game I'm on that I've been playing since last night, I'm at 1900AD and no crashes yet. So that's a very good thing.

When will have patch ?

Just one thing I don't agree with is giving a penalty (and a huge one) to culture if you adopt Fascism. Normally nationalist govs promote national culture rather than hinder it. What could have a penalty during Fascism is instead great people birth.

Yeah, that's one of the many Civic changes I'm taking into consideration. ;)

I'm a moron, sorry

I'm a moron, sorry


It's OK, man. :goodjob:




Well, I think it's safe to say that BarbarianCiv seems to be the only source of crashes (so far).

Still finding minor things that I can tweak for the next patch. The patch should help out with things greatly, including balancing. I'm gonna try and squeeze in a slimmed down version of the Civics with the next patch. Afterwards, I'll work on balancing out the Religions, and trying to make them a little unique from each other.

Grave,

I'm really looking forward to the next patch when you release it. I have just installed Civ4 once again after coming back to these forums and reading the various modpacks. Yours I am very much looking forward to playing. I like the various mod pack components you have chosen. My regret of Civ4 vanilla is the unattention to religion. Hopefully you can go further and improve how religion has affected the world.

I'm waiting on your release to get my Civ interest back. Thanks mate.

Very nice!! Ive waited a while to rave about something on this side(civ4) and this is what Ive waited for me thinks :)

New units latest graphics, Its like in Civ3 when Balancer REloaded out did the former champ Rise n Rule by having the same expanded original game, that concept every digs, but bringing the freshest graphics and moddin in more of em for ultimate flavour and longer gameplay made by fillin in gaps.

You will do good. Thanks for this. :) *T.A goes an installs Civ4 on new computer that he swore would be kept as 'Civ4 free' machine*

ADD: ahh crap! forgot IM low on ram now I gotta go buy a G stick before I loader up! :( Oh well me sure tis worth the cash

Since Im back again Thanks n keep er going with new ideas and Xpak material. Mybe try taggin on post modern ending thats reserved for only powerful economy civs. Makes for good replay like paying for extra swings with the hammer at carnival to show extraordinary strenght is possesable.Also Its good when units keep rollin out instead of rip-off future tech that do nuttin but super units must be really be strived for so 3rd world civs are left out.

Thanks for the best mod I've played in ages, might stick to this one for a while:) I love the migrants too, I supose I'd better start keeping people happy now!

There's just one thing: the new resources. I might be a bit thick, trying to build fishing nets over pearls and plantations on coffee, quarrys on salt that kinda thing but I don't seem able to. Natural gas is fine but I'm a bit of a resource whore and am wondering how you get them?

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Yep, you identified one of the resource bugs that will be corrected in the next patch. I noticed that i forgot to assign a tile improvement to certain resources, keeping the player from accessing their bonuses in game.

You haven't done anything wrong... it was something I overlooked. So that will be fixed. :)

Amazing mod! For a one man team, this sure is a lot. Congrats, Grave!

Ok, all i can say is the best mod ever !

I keep getting a crash in about 2 turns from this save. I tried disabling immigration and I also tried to use the AIautoplay for a few turns. I also had barbarians turned off at the start of the game. Any advice or way to fix? Thanks

We are on the end of this week and nothing :(

PATCH 1C IS RELEASED! :goodjob:

I think you guys should be happy with this patch, as it fixes alot of stuff.

I have isolated 90% of the CTD's I have received because of this mod, and they seem to be coming from the BarbarianCiv mod. So for now, by default I have it disabled.

Enjoy it, and as usual... please post any bugs/suggestions/improvements and any savegames if you're experiencing problems! :king:

See post #2 for the patch! (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=5541379&postcount=2)

Just relax... I posted this patch when I said I would. I have alot of real-life issues pressing at the moment, so I don't spend every waking moment playing Civ4. I hope you understand. :)


ATTENTION EVERYBODY:

THIS WILL BE THE LAST PATCH FOR AT LEAST 2-3 WEEKS. I HAVE TO GO OUT OF TOWN THIS WEEK, AND WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO CIVFANATICS.

But in the mean time, keep posting those bugs/suggestions/improvements and any savegames if you're experiencing problems, and I promise I'll read everything when I come back.

I'm full of fear

I have just launched a game : it's ok :)

Really? The patch isn't loading for you? How weird. I tested it by doing a clean install of HITM, then installing the patch over it, and it works just fine.

What exactly is the game telling you? :confused:



Also about your save game, I did take a look at it, but can't figure out why it went CTD. I had a similiar issue earlier this weekend with one of my games as well. Couldn't figure it out either. It must be one of those 10% CTD's that I can't isolate. I'm not an expert programmer, unfortunately. :(

Just downloaded the mod and the new patch. So far everything seems to be working right. Thanks for putting this together! :goodjob:

Since the Patch 1c, I cannot hear David of Israel theme, I get a lot of lag when I reached close to renaissance. I need a better computer If I want to freakin play pass renaissance and higher without any problems but lack the money to do so.

I playe dlonger than usal but still got Ctd but when it crashed no error message , what I going to do is delete and redownload the mod with patch b,and c and give it a whirl just too double check myself when I dl patch b,c where does it go and how do I check if iut is the right version and make sure the patches unloaded correctly. ( I sure I unpacked it in the right spot) thanks

when will patch 1d will be coming up?

You can unzip it directly into your MODS root folder. When you unzip it, everything is in a "History in the Making" folder already, so the file architecture is already in place. When you're prompted to overwrite files, just click on "Yes to All".

The way you can tell if the current patch is installed is by looking at the Change Log text file in the HITM root directory.

There are still some CTD's that I experience that I will not be able to figure out. I read over at the Revolution forums that sometimes it happens when Revolution is merged with Better AI. Hopefully when BTS comes out and I re-compile the SDK this mysterious CTD will go away.

when will patch 1d will be coming up?

See this post (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=5569460&postcount=86). It doesn't give an exact timetable, but it gives you an idea of, at a minimum, how long it will be until I start work on the next patch.

Today is the last day I'll be on the forums for at least 2-3 weeks.

Is there something you're finding that is causing you problems?

just waiting for some lag to reduce...

the patch is working great in the industial era and no probs

Hi Grave,

I've read you were out for a while but I hope you'll be able to help me when you're back.
:(
I installed recently your mod with the last patch, but when loading it I get the standard Warlords version (the normal entry screen,with just "History in the making" written on the top/right of the screen). Besides, it is just std Warlords when I look at Civilopedia.

Mod is installed under C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Warlords\Mods and I have all the directories (assets / art, python, res, sounds, XML and CvGameCoreDLL.dll). I have also 16 ini files under Mods/History in the Making.

Really don't understand what's getting wrong. I have a french version (but play in english) and french XP OS.

Any suggestion welcome cause this mod looks terrific.

Thanks.;)

Is there any way to turn immigration off or reduce the amount. I cant keep anyone in my towns.

someone instructed that before... you got to do something with the profile thing. I kinda hate the immigrant mod a bit cause It causes so much lag. I need to upgrade my computer soon so that I can reactive it, plus I wish there was someone with good modeling skills to make them look ethical and transform every era. Ancient people Walk, Medieval uses Horse, Renaissance Uses Wagons, Industrial use Model-Ts, Modern uses Dodge Trucks...

I can't use hitler in my game. anytime I click on him, for example when choosing a starting civ, I choose germany and as soon as a click hitler the game crashes to desktop.

Also, most of the unit graphics say "Unit Flavor"

Any reason why this may be happening?

one of the christainity cathedrals with no icon crashes the game after it's completed.

Hi guys,

Well, I found myself able to squeeze a couple minutes on a dial-up computer to check the forums. :)

While I currently do not have access to any HITM files, I can try and answer your questions in the meantime. I should be back home in about a week, at which time I'll start work on Patch 1d. :king:

just waiting for some lag to reduce...

Hopefully with the BTS release, some of your lag issues will be reduced. While researching some of the changes BTS is going to do to Civ4 itself, a few mods that I've incorporated into HITM will be rendered obsolete. Plus, I'll be removing some Modcomps that are affecting gameplay, or just aren't performing up to specs. I'll probably be removing Immigration all together. While the theory sounds good on paper, in gameplay it just doesn't make the game that enjoyable (at least to me). That should make many of you happy. :)

See this post (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=5547218&postcount=47). This question is also posted on the Q&A Post, which is post #3 of this thread.

About Hitler:

That sound like maybe I fat-fingered something in the XML somewhere.

I've had games where Hitler was an AI leader, and he came up fine. I'll look into this when I get home. It should be an easy fix, but I won't know 100% until I take a look at the files.

About the "Unit Flavor" icons.

That was something I did early in development. I created that bland icon you see so I can distinguish the "flavor" units from original units when in WorldBuilder. The downside to that was once I made hundreds of Flavor units, it kind of makes figuring out which unit the Flavor unit is... confusing. You could say this is a classic example of the "snowball" effect.

This should be remedied with the release of BTS, because it seems BTS will allow you to assign various civ-specific graphics to the vanilla units, which will eliminate the need for having all the "unique" Flavor units. I hope, anyway.

Damn! :mad:

Again, that sounds like maybe I fat-fingered something in the XML. This should be an easy fix, too, as I've fixed a couple of these types of issues in the past. I just may of missed this one.

Which Cathedral is causing the CTD?
