I've separated the jumplanes (i didn't include the warplanes), i'll upload them soon, so that you needn't download my whole mod to use it.
Edit: Here they are.
I toyed with an idea of doing this at one point. glad you saved me the work. by the way I was taking the terrain colors from civ2 for the mars terrain - what did you do? adjust the hue/saturation?
Changing the CvMainInterface didnt do a thing. I'm lost for ideas. That said, my knowledge of python is sketchy at best.
I am running windows XP, BTS is patched up fully.
....erm...strange.
Can you start the normal game with a random map?
-> This is the only thing, that could be a problem, because one error says, that my mapscript can't be loaded.
...the other errors...these are special mapscripts (like Erebus for FfH2), which have no connection to my mod, they shouldn't be loaded. I have the same problem with my normal BtS, i don't know, where it comes from, but it shouldn't affect the game.
I don't know, why it is so interesting (because there's no real background at the moment), but if you want it:

Noticed something odd: if I set EnableVoice = 1 in the My Games/BtS/CivIV ini file I get no CTDs. (At least on the 18 civ map, where I'm now at turn 165.)
Strange, i don't know, why this could help to prevent crashes, but i created a small patch, which changes this. I don't want to let something untried to solve the problem.
Edit: Hotfix didn't work -> removed.
Why did you have this idea? There are some problems with missing 3D-sounds form the finalfrontier-units, which, i think, are one reason for a crash (sound-loading-error is sometimes the last mentioned thing in my logfiles).
Regarding the warp and jump lanes: Thomas war only redid the warp lanes. I raised the jump lanes for my Future mod, pure drudgery, so if you need I can attach them. Also, for a primitive city set you could hardly do better than the Hive set from planetfall.
Looks great, good opening, like the opening video. Set up first game with HUGE map, completed start sequence moved first unit and got a Blue Screen of Death and laptop rebooted. No chance of a logfile there sorry. Second attempt was a standard sized map and played well for about 10 turns and got a CtD. Will try again later, with save game and see if it crashes again. Will also attempt to get log files.

I played the Caladan scenario which is a small map. I never play large or huge maps. I've started the game several times with the same result.
As far as the map scripts being in the public maps folder, they should normally not interfere with the loading of BtS or a related mod, as long as you don't actually try to run a game with them, which I did not (I ran Caladan as I pointed out earlier). The Python problem manifested itself when I initially launched the mod.

I know about that, but this is the problem. It seems, that the mod tries to load other mapscripts, but the loading fails.
I have, like already said, the same problem with normal BtS, where i get the error, when it tries to load the erebus-mapscript. I don't know, what's the reason for it , but it seems, that i have to find it.
My question to you was: Can you start a game with my only included mapscript named "random"?
That's strange, because I haven't had that problem with BtS. It looks like you've got some Python function checking the map scripts while the mod is loading. Why? If that's the case, that Python function needs to be modified to ignore any map script in the public folder which is not compatible with the mod. Is that possible?
Either way, map scripts are a minor issue. I can get past the six messages during the mod's initial loading to get through to the game. What is a real problem is those CtD's and spin locks.

I don't have changed the loading-functions for the map-scripts (i don't know how to do this), and i also get no error. It seems, that there's a strange interaction between some mods (or...i don't know...). I think, you're right, i'll have to check my python-files.
The performance: What pc do you have (cpu, ram, etc)?
It's an average-low computer as far as ram and processing speeds go. I've been running FfH2 without any trouble (small or standard maps), to give you an idea.

When in the game do you have the problems?
From the beginning or later in the game?
Are civilizations with the "resourceful"-trait in the game?
Is the gravitation-generator already built?
Did some civs change their civics in "Life 2.0"-column?

Between Turn 5 to 10, I usually get a CtD or a spinlock, whichever occurs first. I haven't played the game past that so I've got no idea what a gravitation-generator is (the answer is perhaps no). Ditto the "Life 2.0"-column.
I can try to run another game and watch for any other civ with the "resourceful" trait...

Gravitation-generator: mid-game wonder.
Life 2.0-column: Last civic-column.
These things could have an impact on performance, but it is not sure, how big it is.
Does anyone here also have doubling units like here?
Tried another game. This time one CtD around Turn 75 (I think...) when I moved one of my mercenary units onto a stack of my own units in enemy territory. No obvious reason here why the game crashed.
There was one AI leader with the "Resourceful" Trait.
There were a couple event-related Python errors during play

Strange, i don't know, why this could help to prevent crashes, but i created a small patch, which changes this. I don't want to let something untried to solve the problem.
-> Unzip this, and install it. Select the "marsjetzt-v02"-folder during installation.
Why did you have this idea? There are some problems with missing 3D-sounds form the finalfrontier-units, which, i think, are one reason for a crash (sound-loading-error is sometimes the last mentioned thing in my logfiles).
Actually, that was just a crazy idea: I'm currently in an advanced game with EnableVoice = 0. I got several CTDs when entering a Sand/Magnetic Storm, but was able to reload and continue each time. (I don't think the EnableVoice setting is related to the CTDs.)
And I agree Ming Liu sounds Chinese, rather than Japanese.
Anyway, great job so far. I can tell a lot of work went into the maps, civics, units, buttons, graphics and what not.
I only noticed - apart from the CTDs - that several names, nouns and adjectives aren't correctly spelled (like Marsian instead of Martian, american instead of American, etc). I'm also a bit confused about the Panzer Kunst religion (which translates to Armor Art)... Are you planning to include more Mars-style religions in the future?
EDIT: Noticed 4 more things;
- Spies, when kept in their home city, tend to disappear (they have to be rebuilt several times over)
- Settlers seem to be buildable in a limited amount (is this intended as a standard feature?)
- the Satellites aren't really airborne (can't pass over Mountains/water, visibility identical to ground units) and they appear in groups of 11 with the standard graphics setting
- the Assassin doesn't really have Hidden Nationality.
Hello !
Wonderful work !
But I got lot of CTD and I have to save almost every turn and reload to play as well. I was playing large map. I think it's not a RAM problem cause I have 4 GB. So what ?
I have 3.17 too.
Yeah, this no interface bug is perplexing...and this isn't my first spin around the block when it comes to installing mods, I know what I'm doing...very odd...
I tried redownloading the mod. I tried not installing the CtD hotfix. I tried loading the mod through Choose a Mod instead of launch options. I tried launching a random map and a scenario. Nothing worked.
I can't access the options menu, the Civilopedia, or even Play Now. Though, at the time, I assumed it was disabled intentionally...whether that's actually the case or not, I have no idea, but it's greyed out just the same.
I own Beyond the Sword through Steam and my operating system is Windows XP x64 edition. As weird-spec as my machine may be though, it handles every other mod correctly (including Planetfall and Fall from Heaven). Not sure why this one won't work...
