Revolutionary
Your cache should be in:angrysurgeon said:Hi Jdog.
Civilization is not civilization without your Revolution mod. Civ is no more fun without this mod.
Now, this mod worked absolutely flawless without the warlords expantion. But now with warlords installed and following your instructions on FP, the following happens.
1 I start Civ warlords.exe
2. Choose advanced, and load mod
3. Choose revolution and the game restarts
4. choose a new game and the game starts, i see the settler and my scout (play as germans) but no infobars anywhere.
Again, the problem is that when the game starts, there are NO "BARS" WHATSOEVER TO SEE ANYWHERE. With bars, i mean the infoscreen at the bottom of the screen where one can choose promotions or the minimap etc. The only "bar"/"dialog" that is avaliable on demand is when i hit the ESC key. The familiar dialog on the above right side of the screen pops up and asks you if you want to quit to desktop, to main menu, regenerate the map etc etc etc.
When i for example want to build a city, i see that the settler does its thing, but that the dialog for the renaming of the city does not pop up and the "game hangs" on that. That is, i have control over the computer but the bug doesnt allow me to press enter, or click ok or whatever on that first screen to rename that city. As if the game is waiting for me to click so that the game can go on.
Another observation is that when one clicks on the optionscreen before any game is started but your mod under warlords expansion is loaded, the window/dialog for options does not pop up. (By unloading your mod, everything works just fine)
What could the problem be? By the way, i dont have a cache or im looking at the wrong place.
Again, thanks for this mod man; i refuse to play civ anymorewithout your mod.

It's then a folder called cache, which you can just delete. The cache is a prime suspect, and you definitely have one, so make sure you delete it.
The interface in Civ4 is all drawn by Python ... all Python modules are loaded dynamically (during the init Python phase of game start). Because they're loaded dynamically, there can be conflicts or different versions in different places, which is what is causing your issues. The cache is suspect #1. Suspect #2 is anything you have in your CustomAssets directory (in My Documents\My Games\Walords\)... just a bad idea if you're loading mods.
If you've done both of these things and it's still not working, I've got two more ideas ... these really are digging deep as it should be taken care of by clearing your cache and CustomAssets.
1) Open CivilizationIV.ini (path is in post just above this one) and find the Mod line. Set it to Mod = Mods\Revolution. Then delete your cache again. Now the game will launch Revolution without launching plain Warlords ... nothing should go wrong

2) If that somehow still fails, I don't know what's going on. But, there's one more thing you can do ... open Mods\Revolution\Assets\Python\Screens\. This will contain a single file that is a (slightly altered) version of TheLopez's dead civ scoreboard mod. Change the name of this file (effectively making it not used) ... I'd change it to CvMainInterface.py.bak, but just about anything should do. Try loading the game again. Please tell me if you get to this stage and it solves the problem ...
3) I'm out of ideas, something is strange with your civ install ... if it means enough to you, uninstall civ and warlords and try again?

Please do post what eventually works for you, as it may help someone else. Sorry the two of you are having such trouble.
