(To download use the "Save file to your PC click here" button at the bottom right.)

Please note that this is a bare bones version; it does not have any new content (in fact TC01's mapscripts are currently not included, nor is the custom music - both of which will be re-added later). I'm uploading it anyway, as it is stable - as far as I can tell - for those who've been reporting isues with the last 2 or 3 patches and for feedback purposes mainly. So if anyone is still experiencing bugs/errors please report them.

If no errors/bugs are being reported I'll be using this version for future updates/patches

hmm...this isn't working for me. i downloaded and extracted the files and overwrote the previous files in the folders with the new ones, but the mod crashes while my single-player game is loading. :confused: the attached image is a pic of what happens when it crashes and i choose "click here" to see more details.

I've been playtesting the patch on both the FF Flat and Spiral Galaxy mapscripts and it seems to work OK. You do have patch 3.19 installed? (Sorry, have to ask.)

yes i do have BtS 3.19 installed

And you're trying this with patch 4i? Are you sure you installed the MOO2Civ 3.19 correctly as well?

never mind, i figured it out; i made a really stupid mistake: somehow, i COMPLETELY forgot that the mod took place in space, so i was choosing "continents" for the type of map, which caused the crash :blush: it works fine if i choose one of the final frontier map types

Oh goodie!:D (I get that too sometimes...)

I've added an alternate download for Patch4i Full Install: http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/civilizationivbeyondthesword/mod/32279.html

I just downloaded your mod for future play.

When I ran the installer, it went fine.
Then I checked in the folders for patching the j patch purpose. I discovered that two units related xml files are in Assets folder, not in their Units XML folder. Was that intentional?

I appreciate the feedback, but could you be more specific? Which units?:confused:

I appreciate the feedback, but could you be more specific? Which units?:confused:

I meant files. Unitinfos.xml and unitclassinfos.xml are in Assets folder. I checked the XML for Units folder and there are the same files there too. But I was wondering why you had two copies of these files in Assets folder.

Ah, I see. No, I don't think that's intentional. I'll check it out. Thanks.;)

stupid question....wtf do i download? i got bts 3.19.
kay i downloaded everything, lets see if i can get it to work xD
nope, way confusing. would be nice if someone could give me directions.

If you downloaded the latest patch (see my previous post's link), it should be auto-installed - as the DL page says. (I intend to have Full Install versions auto-installed; in-between-patches should just overwrite Full Install files. Also, if you want to custom install, the auto-installer allows that too.)

Could you upload the file to WePlayCiv instead/as well (since I notice you have a download link added there)? They have no size limit, something that's not really been publicized (unlike CFC: I was able to upload my mod there and it's 32 MB) and 2Shared is really annoying with advertisements when I click to download.

I already did; it's at http://www.weplayciv.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=156.

(Also, there's an alternative DL link on the DL page: http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/civilizationiv/mod/32844.html.)

EDIT: It's even uploaded at Apolyton (although I find it impossible to ascertain how many downloads I get there). BTW, both WePlayVCiv and Apolyton uploads link to 2shared, so I suggest using the StrategyInformer link, as suggested on the CFC DL page. ;)

I still get crash... I've got 3.19 patch and last MOO2Civ patch... I've got newest Assets and CvGameCoreDll... Game still crash when I load Final Frontier or Spiral Galaxy map... :(:(:... I work on Vista... please, help!

Is the mod installed in Firaxis Games\Civ4\BtS\Mods? (Specifically, are all the files there?) What patch were you trying to run?

I thought I would check out the mod and I too am having problems. I downloaded patch L version and I noticed that it installed to Civilization rather than Sid Meier's Civ directory, so I moved the Mod folder to the correct path in the BTS\Mods path (with all my other mod folders, done this many times...). The game has a CTD on map generation...you never actually make it to turn 1. Seems consistent with what a lot of people are reporting. The mod folder is about 140 MB. I also tried several map scripts...a wormhole one, a spiral one, both crashed. The Enclosed Space map hung forever (I figured it was working, some of the complex scripts do that) but finally it crashed...not sure how long it took, I walked away from it.

I've installed mod in 2kGames\Firaxis Games\Civ4\BtS\Mods (I have Civ4 Complete). I've tried patch "i" and others, but it's still doesn't work... :(

Still crash on "initializing"... Why... why.... :(:(:(:(

I've installed mod in 2kGames\Firaxis Games\Civ4\BtS\Mods (I have Civ4 Complete). I've tried patch "i" and others, but it's still doesn't work... :(

For patch 4i you did have patch 4j installed over it (as it updates the mod to BtS 3.19)? And you did check if the files are actually in ...\Mods\MOO2Civ?

I'ts finally work! I've installed patch 4j (in MOOCiv2 patchi mod category) and I've stoped Avast (antyvirus).

I've waiting now for patch M... :) and wormholes and other brilliant stuff...(because I have Spiral Galaxy only now and I can't choose type of star's dense for example)... Thank You very, very much! You are my guru now! :):):)

You're welcome.;) By the way, with the Custom Map playing option you should be able to adjust things like star density, no?

next stupid/dumb person here...
if i want the full mod in all it's magnificenze what should i download and install?

I suggest trying the latest Full Install version here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=13379

Hopefully (fingers crossed) I'll be able to upload a stable Full Version by the end of this week.

If no errors/bugs are being reported I'll be using this version for future updates/patches (and place it in the Downloads section officially, properly linked and announced).

NOTE: The file itself is called MOO2Civ 5.0 period (as is the ini. file), so trying to start "MOO2Civ 5.0 Beta" will not work. Save as "MOO2Civ 5.0", install in the ...\BtS\Mods folder and you should be fine.

More news later.

EDIT: Updated post #1 to include previous patch.

Is the 5.0 beta a complete install?

Yes, it is. I've decided from now on to use the "patch" indication only if it's not a full version (like a normal person). :crazyeye:

NOTE: The file itself is the same as the one from a few posts back, but I renamed the file itself and the ini. file to "MOO2Civ 5.0 Beta".

Well it finally happened. The malware amassed its forces on the horizon, and issued forth the denizens of hell in a never ending wave upon my hapless OS. In the ensuing chaos, I realized I would have to reinstall windows Xp (which I no longer seem to have:gripe:) and thus the PC died.
Now the new rig is up however and I have more of everything than I ever dreamed.
(8 gigs of ram! 4 processors! (which is silly)) The video card has a gig of memory for crissakes! Anyway, it makes civ all smooth & buttery so it seems you've got a reliable playtester now! :goodjob:
That said, any ETA on an update? :groucho:

Wrking on it, but progress is slow. (I'm not inclined to give an ETA, as it forces me to not include things I want to include, I've noticed.)

Anyway, congrats Asthix! :goodjob:

Do I need Final Frontier to play this mod (I deleted it)?

Welcome davisd! No, it's a full modpack. Just download and play. ;)

I will need some time, and I will make a "working" stealth (toggleable).

I've spent this night making this: (look at pics)

Merged wormholes, stealth and a few other modcomps during the night. The most tiring thing is filling civilopedia entries :P.

The techtree par that you see is ~ 1/3 of what I've done and it's about 1/3 of the full tech tree I plan. For sure it's empty, I will add actions, buildings and civics to it later.

P.S. I will fiddle with Zerg mechanics a bit and then look into 5.0 .

Wow! Looks like you're on a roll. Looks tantalizing. :goodjob:

It is... :thumbsup:

OK, I've found the reason of disappearance of systems. If there's something wrong in the python there's a very high chance that star placement script will freak out and will be unable to place stars as it should.

One of a reason for such behavior is a missing "hardcoded" building. You see, there're diffrent Final Frontier buildings hardcoded into python (like starting nutrition facility/mining facility) so if you rename them you get lots of errors. Better do not screw with basic building tags :).

I swear I posted... must not have, but I was going to say:
Cool! A starcraft Civ4 Mod!

Buildings hard-coded in python, no wonder things crashed when I changed the building tags. I imagine any building that increases bonus per worker is included in the hard-coded building list? I couldn't find anything in the XMLs to increase yield per worker.

Yeah, so before you rename a building, use a search of its name in Python folder and rename it there too.

Anyway, with Hide Python Exceptions off (civ4 ini file setting) it will directly say which buildings are missed.

Also note for your modmod: if you add new happiness/military/yield increasing/any new buildings, note that building of AI is hardcoded into CvAI.py; just open it and look for the code which says AI to build sports arenas and capital shipyards. Just copy it for your buildings there, or AI will ignore them.

Ok. Back on topic: I intend to upload v. 5.1 in time for the new BtS files listing of this month. ;)

Updated post #1 with v. 5.1.

I've downloaded this latest version and whole ingame main menu text was invisible. Blindly I've got game created and started the game anyway, but I've noticed, whole text that was visible was in french, the rest was invisible. By memory in main menu I found settings to change the language, but that place was also invisible not changable.. guess this game mod was created for french fans only??
