So I have downloaded the HOF mod and I love it. But there are a couple other small mods that give small changes that I want to have while running HOF. These include the Dead Civ Scoreboard mod and the Great Generals from Barbarians mod. I have tried just putting the files I download from them in the HOF folder and that doesn't work. I backup my HOF ini file and insert (with # instead of ; like they use) the ini text from the other ini files, AND put the XML files in the correct folder (I think).

Any advice. These are pretty sweet little mods but I don't just want to run them all by themselves. Thanks.

Merging Civ4 mods is not trivial. You have to understand how XML and the Python script language work, and how they interact with Mac OS X, and with Civ4. Messing about with # and ; in the .ini file just affects comment lines, which do nothing. I suggest you ask one of the mod makers to assist unless you are capable of writing the relevant languages yourself.
