Rise And Rule Revisited (epic mod)

RARR (=Rise And Rule Revisited)) is a mod-mod of the great epic mods Rise And Rule (=RAR), and Double Your Pleasure (=DYP) , updating and adding many graphics and enabling some concepts of the RAR 1.04 Betatest mod. RARR needs the expansion pack Civ 3 Conquests (that is also included in Civ 3 Complete).


So all credit is going to the original creators of the mods

- Rise And Rule (=RAR): Kal-El, Isak, Doc Tsiolkovski and harrier and
- Double your Pleasure (=DYP): Kal-El, Isak, harrier, RobO and PDEscobar.

In the meantime, during the existence of RARR, some highly appreciated statements about RARR were posted by original creators of DYP and RAR. You can find them here:

Thank you all very much for your kind words (and even two blessings ) about RARR. This is the reason, why the new version 1.7 of RARR makes the step from only being a graphical update of DYP and RAR to a mod, that is carefully adding new concepts and some changes to the great epic mods DYP and RAR, while always having the focus on preserving the character of these old masterly mods.

RARR 1.7 also tries to fix all the reported errors of former versions of RARR. Here I say a big thank you very much to Madviking, Node60, Samez, keli, Fortis1, Uaargh!?, jlvfr, Kestrel18, Lord Plebian, TechieTubbies, Mr. Constantin, ynot56, rudy2, Tigris of Gaul, Belofon, Izengrimm, Takeo and Atlasian for reporting these errors all over the years

I hope RARR 1.7 will also receive reports of errors and suggestions for improving this mod from civers all over the world .

You can see a list of all fixes and changes in RARR 1.7 here.
The techtrees of RARR 1.7. can be seen here.

Another big thank you very much goes to all the great Civ 3 unit makers, among them Wyrmshadow, Delta_Strife, Sandris, AnthonyBoscia and imperator1961, who did many of the units used in RARR and CCM. You are the one, who are keeping the interest in Civ 3 still alive with all your great work.

The 180x180 worldmap is based on a work of Kal-El, the lead designer of DYP and RAR many years ago, and was adapted by me to RARR 1.7 with the great help of the Quintillus editor. Here I also want to say a big thank you very much to timerover51 for his advice about locations for placing the hardwood resources to enable the building of special wooden ships.


Installation:

1. You need the expanded mainfiles of CCM2.50 be installed in your C3C mainfolder. For the installation of the expanded mainfiles, please have a look here, starting with 'How to install CCM2' in bold letters. An additional explanation can be found here.

You can download the CCM2.50 files here.

If you have installed the expanded C3C mainfiles with a version of CCM2 older than CCM2.50, this installation must be updated to version 2.50 as this version contains many of the DYP, RAR and RARR units.

2. The old RARR folder in your C3C scenarios folder ccoming with RARR 1.6 and the old RARR biqs are no longer needed. Please delete or rename them, so they can no longer disturb the search of the new 1.7 biqs for the new RARR folder.

3. Unzip the new (very small) RARR folder and the RARR 1.7 biqs (standard, extended and worldmap) into the C3C scenarios folder and here place the RARR 1.7 biqs outside the RARR folder. The zip files are attached at the bottom of this post.

Please remember, that the thousands of units of RARR 1.7 are coming from the expanded C3C mainfiles. Without the installation of the expanded C3C mainfiles, RARR 1.7 will not work.

4. If you use the Steam version of Civ III Complete, you must additionally delete the labels file in the text-folder and rename the file labels-Steam CivComplete Patch to labels, otherwise the bugged Steam version will play havoc with your C3C text.


The RARR 1.7 biqs and the RARR files themselves are now updated to fix all the errors that were reported while playing the first version of those files. The folder for the RARR scenario itself is so small, that no additional patch is needed. Simply let the new RARR.zip overwrite the old RARR files that came with the RARR 1.7 installation in the C3C scenarios folder and add the new RARR 1.7 biqs to your C3C scenarios folder.

Biqs reloaded 16th May 2020. The civers who downloaded the biqs at 15th May 2020 are humbly requested to reload the new biqs, as there are some (minor) changes in the new biqs. The Earth map biq was taken down on 1st July 2020 due to some problems with the Celts. A new worldmap that hopefully will fix that problem is in the tests.

The story of RARR:

At the end of 2014 DYP Webmaster Ulrich Bernskov kindly gave the permission to CivForum.de of additionally hosting the DYP/RAR-mod to increase the chance of making this wonderful mod available to the Civ 3 community in the next years.
While preparing the additional upload on this server, I noticed, that Doc Tsiolkovski released an early betatestversion of RAR 1.04 on a "not so visited place" at CFC. This version of RAR can be found here and at that place you can read, why Doc Tsiolkovski posted RAR 1.04 (betatest) in that location.

Doc Tsiolkovski did a lot of changes and fixes in the RAR 1.04 betatest version. He listed them in the changelog attached to his RAR 1.04 betatest version. At that time some concepts of that version were not enabled, per example the supplyshipments or the nuclear bomber. In the many years since that early betatestversion of RAR 1.04 was posted, the knowledge in modding Civ 3 has improved and many artists made wonderful additional units, buildings and other features for Civ 3.

So I tried to contact Kal-El and Isak at CFC via pms about continuing the story of RAR and goethe, who additionally had an old email-address of Doc Tsiolkovski tried the same with contacting that member of the RAR-team. I also made a big public post about continuing the story of RAR at CFC: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=13804025&postcount=2425

Until the date of this post, there was no reply by the former creators of DYP/RAR. Pfeffersack, a late member of the RAR-team, advised me, that in this case it would be better to release the updated mod as a mod-mod and not as RAR 1.04 and I follow his advice.


Chances and additions:

In a first step I enabled the supplyshipments and gave them a setting as it is working in my epic mod CCM since several years. They don´t use the 'Reverse Capture the Flag'-option but the 'Capture the Princess'-option, which is better suited for random maps, meaning the supplyshipment must be escorted to the capital and not to a victory point. The settings were done with editor 1.00 that doesn´t disable the SGLs (this concern only exists with editor 1.03, which contains a bug in the setting of SGLs). As the AI doesn´t use supplyshipments even with these settings very effectively , the setting of the buildings producing these shipments were set to Small Wonders and the worth of a supplyshipment escorted to the capital was set to 25 gold (the same value when a barbarian village is captured).

The nuclear bomber is now enabled, working like the nuclear bomber in the C3C scenario 'WW II in the Pacific'. It is autoproduced by the SW Atomic Weapons Test all 8 turns.

Carriers now have a setting allowing them a long-range bombard. When aircraft carriers appear in the techtree, battleships are disappearing from the building queue.


The main focus laid on a big graphical update of RAR. Hundreds of beautiful units and some missing leaderheads were added, the mod received a new interface and tons of techchooser, buildings and resource icons were reworked or added.


Here you can see many of the added bonus-resource icons:




The unit folder of RARR now holds more than 1.100 units (so it still also contains old replaced units for historical reasons of that mod, that easily could be reactivated by cancelling a suffix behind the folders of the replaced units). Here you can see some of the new flavored land units:






















Thanks to the outstanding support by Delta_Strife this mod contains some not yet released units (including the modern French missile destroyer of the Suffren Class and the French modern carrier of the Clemenceau Class).


Suffren Class:



Clemenceau Class:



Daring Class:



Hamburg Class:



CVN 65 Enterprise:




One of the problems with adding so many flavored units, is the growth of the Hyp-Law-Bug. To avoid that bug, that is caused by linking more than 32 units or buildings to a certain strategic or luxury resource, I introduced the method I used in my own epic mod CCM to diminish the possibilities of running into that bug. The links in the units-civilopedia now are connected to buildings and not any longer to resources.

Additionally another phenomena of the editor, that the Civ 3 community became aware this year in Anthony Boscia´s scenario 1989, is, that the links for resources (that contain that bug) completely disappear from the unit´s civilopedia entry, when the first of the three possible resources in the editor is set to "None" (see the example in the screenshot of the Assyrian swordsman). The setting of units in RARR is very well suited for this method, as there is no unit in RARR that needs three resources as a prerequisite.




Another advantage of that method is that new available strategic resources now can be seen directly in the techtree. The only possibility to run into the Hyp-Law-Bug now is to directly clicking on the small icon of the resource entry in the civiliopedia. Here Vuldacon´s idea of writing the warning 'Don´t click' is used.




In the following I present the techtree of RARR by the example of 4 different civs for the four different eras of this mod:

Era 1 (Mongols):



Era 2 (Germany):



Era 3 (England):



Era 4 (USA):



In era 4 some new levels of planes were added to the mod. The values for these aircraft were mostly calculated by adding the values of the planes one level above and one level below and dividing it with two. Therefore now Mig-21s, Phantoms, Starfighters and so on can also be a part of this mod. To give them enough place for using them, some slight changes in the techtree had to be done.

The wonder Crystal Palace appearing in a complete wrong time now is replaced by Ford´s Factory and in RARR is really giving the assembly plants on the continent. For those who still want to play with the old Crystal Palace some icons for that wonder were added, too.

The wonder Taj Mahal now is in era two with tech Free Artistry (as suggested by Kal-el)

For more details please see the change log in the next post.



Here you can see the added new leaderheads for RARR:


Queen Bilgis (Ethiopia):



Caesar (Rome):



Temujin (Mongols):



Napoleon (France):



Sitting Bull (Sioux)



King Tangaloa (Polynesia):



King Ram Kahaeng (Siam):



Dalai Lama (Tibet):



Mansa Musa (Mali):

I'm downloading right now!!

Downloading too. Will provide feedback on bugs/errors when they arise.

I can already report on one bug, Tibet's leader's medieval portrait seems to be screw up.

Need to go to the Art/Flics folder and change the filenames for Gyatso-mid & Gyatso-mid2 to Gyatso-Med & Gyatso-Med2.

figured it was probably something simple like that. cheers.

madviking, thank you very much for reporting that error. The error is noted for the next update.

There is one additional problem with missing files for Tibet.

Of course, the problem is easily solved, but ...

Node60, welcome at CFC.

I highly appreciate, that you do your first post at CFC to improve this mod.
In the pediaicons file I forgot to overwrite the "j" in the #ICON_RACE_TIBET entry for the NgawangGyatso_SMALL icon.

The small fix is to delete the "j" in that entry in the pediaicons text file.
The error is noted for the next update.

Thanks for all the work
I gave the French a try and was reminded how much tech trading there is in an epic game...

I found two bugs:
Art/units/French MG Btln/French MG Btln.ini
missing... The F062 French HMG.ini has to be renamed

The autoproduced "Admiral of the Fleet" ships never get obsolete and can't be upgraded (at least for the French) I would recommend to make the wonder obsolete with screw propellers

There might also be a bug with the Iroquois but I am not 100%sure... They massed huge amounts of gold in one of my early starts. They had about ~10 000 gold @100AD with only 6 or 7 cities.

Samez, thank you very much for your kind words and for your help. I will have a look in the files of the French machinegunner. The machinegunners in RARR are some of the most complicated units in that mod as I set them era-specific. So here errors can occure very quickly.

I will reflect about your suggestions of the autoproduced "Admiral of the Fleet" (making the wonder go obsolete or restoring the upgrade chain for that ship).

I cannot say anything about your obervation with the Iroquois. You can make a lot of gold with tech-trading in RARR.

Thank you very much for your input.

Another error was reported to me by keli via pm concerning the unit Roman Chariot:

In the Ini-file of that unit there must be a space between Roman and Chariot. This can be edited easily with WordPad.

keli, thank you very much for reporting that error and please post your next observations directly here in that thread, so all civers can be informed at once.

The error is noted for the next update of RARR.

On the Admiral of the Feet: it is set to upgrade to Rocket Tongkang (like he did in old RAR version) which is unbuildable, unapgradeable and requires Unavaliable tech. In RAR it was upgradeable to Iron Frigate.

RAR - my long-standing passion. Ignore his reincarnation was impossible for me

Another missing file:



I looked through unit files, but couldn't find this one at all

Fortis1, thank you very much for reporting that error.

The Koori Spearman is completely missing in the unit folder.

I will do a complete update with all reported errors this weekend (not only of the biq, that holds another annoying error in the setting of the Strelets Musketman, that was reported by keli in another thread),

So please report any other errors you have found, if possible, in the next hours, so I can include a fix in the update.

Almost no units require saltpeter to be built. I noticed that medieval infantry doesn't need Iron as well, but I haven't checked other units yet.

Fortis1, one more time thank you very much for your help. Many units in RARR need saltpeter and other strategic resources - and the medieval infantry needs iron. In that case you became a "victim" of the new improved moddig tech used in RARR to avoid the Hyperlink.bug.

From the RARR introduction posts:

One of the problems with adding so many flavored units, is the growth of the Hyp-Law-Bug. To avoid that bug, that is caused by linking more than 32 units or buildings to a certain strategic or luxury resource, I introduced the method I used in my own epic mod CCM to diminish the possibilities of running into that bug. The links in the units-civilopedia now are connected to buildings and not any longer to resources.

Additionally another phenomena of the editor, that the Civ 3 community became aware this year in Anthony Boscia´s scenario 1989, is, that the links for resources (that contain that bug) completely disappear from the unit´s civilopedia entry, when the first of the three possible resources in the editor is set to "None" (see the example in the screenshot of the Assyrian swordsman). The setting of units in RARR is very well suited for this method, as there is no unit in RARR that needs three resources as a prerequisite.




Another advantage of that method is that new available strategic resources now can be seen directly in the techtree. The only possibility to run into the Hyp-Law-Bug now is to directly clicking on the small icon of the resource entry in the civiliopedia. Here Vuldacon´s idea of writing the warning 'Don´t click' is used.

--------------------------------------------------

But nevertheless your post was extremely helpful, as I noticed, that even if you click on the strategic resource files like saltpeter, iron and oil that are needed by many hundreds of units, these links dissapear from the civilopedia resource entry, too and even Vuldacon´s icon "don´t click" isn´t needed any longer if the units in the editor are set to resource "None" in the first of the three resource slots for that unit in the editor.

So I clicked on the other former "dangerous" strategic resource icons and found 4 units where I forgot to set their first resource to "None". So you helped me to correct four minor errors and gave me an additional interesting insight into the new way of modding strategic resources in C3C.
