Hi, new to the forums, but not new to Civ4 :rolleyes:

I am having a problem combining mods, specifically johnny smith's 43 religions mod (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=240440), the Revolutions modpack (http://forums.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?f=261) and Civ IV Gold (http://forums.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?f=217). I like these mods, but would like to combine into one, featuring all their goodies. However, my modding experience is not as good as I would like :b

So, any advice on how to combine these ? :) Thanks in advance!

Hi at all Civ-Fanatics!

I have a similiar question - how can i load different mods (for example different new civilization mods) at once ?
Since i´ve read that in BTS it should be able via "modular" Modding, i would really appreciate a short and easy! explanation how to do so.

thank you in advance :goodjob:

If the mods you want to combine have overlapping files (files with the same names in each mod) then it can become a little difficult. Try this thread here for a brief tutorial.

I started out by just taking things I liked and putting them into a folder: Mods/mymod/Assets/Modules

In mymod, I had a copy of a .ini file from another BtS mod. Open the .ini file with notepad and make sure that

; Modular XML Loading
ModularLoading = 1

and

; Name of Mod
Name = mymod

Save your new .ini file. All of the other parts in the the .ini file , I just left alone. These are instructions to load a specific map and that kind of thing..

Add one tweak at a time. Check the results.

CIV4 mods are not compatible with BtS unless you rework them basically from scratch. The game has really evolved since CIV4 originally came onto the scene.

Take small steps before getting ambitious and break into coding right away.

... anyways .. hope that helps you.
