I downloaded the files on filefront, but all three contained the same info.
To download the 600+ megs file on dl.free.fr seems an utopia (9 hrs !!!).
Still looking forward to the day I'll be able to play your mod :)

The 3 files work together, they don't contain the same files ;-).

I really wish I could get this to work because it seems absolutely increadible! The scope is immense, and I am excited to find something so historical and with so many options - absolutely amazing looking. Now, the problem. When I start playing I have no menu options presented, when I found a city there's no city screen and I can't select anything. The problem might be due to my running the driect2drive (version of civ and bts, but they're all up to date. I don't know - but I'm so excited to have the chance to play this mod. It really seems amazing.

Verify that you haven't any mod installed in My Documents/My Games/Beyond the Sword. You can re-install the game to verify that your original files aren't modified. It seems to be a conflict between your installed files and the mod's files ;-).

will do that tonight - thank you very much for the very swift reply :)

okay, verified that there are no MODS in the My Documents/My Games/Beyond the Sword directory. Will try reinstalling some other time....

WHAHAHAHA !!!!
It works !
I'm with stupid, and he never leaves me.

It's wonderful! Thank you for this wonderful mod. Are there any plans to make a world map for it?

i seem to be capped at 30 KB/s (my usual is 55-60)--DAM FILEFRONT! lol
o well a 7 hour wait isnt bad for such a awesome looking MOD!
I wish it had a world map though:)

Personally Ill be using it on a world map..even though it wont have all the new resources..because I love earth:)

I want to know when mapscripts are compatible with this mod? Full of Resources will crashed when I select or use it.

do you mean i should have ANY mod, or just your mod in the mydocuments\civ4\mods.i have thomas' war 2.85 installed in the my documents. i have your mod installed and it works fine for a few turns but then ctd. why would having a diff. mod there cause this problem in your mod.is this right, i need to delete ALL files from mydocuments\civ4\mods for yours to work correctily??

Installation of mods in the 'mydocuments' folders is always a bad idea ;-). You must install all the mods in the \Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods folder. If you install some mods in 'mydocuments\civ4\mods', you will encounter many incompatibility problems.

Hum i'm sorry, but i don't know how mapscripts work. Can't Sto make an adapted version of Full of Resources ?

No world map planned, sorry. I don't know anything about map creation. I will try, nevertheless, to ask some help on a french forum.
