Players self-support thread for WHoward's "DLL - Various Mod Components" mod plus Putmalk's "Civ IV Diplomacy Features" mod plus Gazebo's "City-State Diplomacy" mod (aka CSD mod).
Background:
All THREE mods have their own custom DLL. However, you can only play with ONE mod that has its own custom DLL enabled.
V82 of "DLL - Various Mod Components" includes all the source code mods from the other two mods (code bases from Civ IV Features v11 and CSD v28).
Additionally it also includes "No More Civilian Traffic James" and most of "Smart AI" - you'll need the associated micro-mods from my web-site to enable these.
How to install:
(The correct versions of the required mods are attached to, or linked from, this post - use ONLY these.)
Download and install "DLL - Various Mod Components" (v82) [Or any later version from the Pick'N'Mix web site]
Download and install "Civ IV Diplomacy Features" (v11.08)
Download and install "Diplomacy - CivIV Features" (v 1) [from the Pick'N'Mix web site]
Download and install "City-State Diplomacy" (v28)
Download and install "Diplomacy - City States" (v 5)[from the Pick'N'Mix web site]
Download and install any other desired mods that depend on "DLL - Various Mod Components"
Delete the .dll file from the "Civ IV Diplomacy Features" mod
In the "Civilization IV Diplomatic Features (v 11).modinfo" file, delete the lines in red
What to enable:
Always "DLL - Various Mod Components"
If playing with Civ IV Diplo Features, BOTH the "Civ IV Diplomacy Features" and "Diplomacy - CivIV Features" mods (the latter "switches on" the required code in the DLL)
If playing with City-State Diplomacy, BOTH the "City-State Diplomacy" and the "Diplomacy - City States" mods (the latter "switches on" the required code in the DLL)
Any other required mods that depend on "DLL - Various Mod Components"
Support:
None, other than this thread.
Specifically, the three mod authors do NOT support the combined code base - I have provided this "combined DLL" as a consideration to players who want to use two or three of these mods in combination.
Any problems found in the combined DLL with features of individual mods MUST be tested with only the specific mod enabled before being reported as a bug. That is, if you find a problem with vassalage (say) while using the "DLL - Various Mod Components" mod, you MUST re-test with only the original "Civ IV Diplomacy Features" mod enabled before reporting it as a bug. Similarly, if you find a bug in one of the Pick'N'Mix mods that use features of the "DLL - Various Mod Components" while playing with either the "Civ IV Diplomacy Features" mod or the "City-State Diplomacy" mod enabled, you MUST re-test with neither of those mods enabled before reporting it as a bug.
If you're convinced the problem is with the combined DLL and it's causing a crash to desktop (CTD), please attach your "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\CvMiniDump.dmp" file.
