[BtS] "Mars, Now!"

- Start date
Edit: I forgot, a small graphical issue appeard, here is the .exe to fix it.
Yes, i know, the art is not perfect
.
The main problem is, that i don't know, there the flowing effect comes from, so that i could get rid of it.
I'll have a look at the alpha channel, maybe there's a bit in it.
Any similaraties in the circumstances?

Well, I play the 18 civ map (Riesig) preferably. The issue appeared out of nowhere: first the mod worked fine, then all of a sudden income displays an off-the-scale number, all civs have score 0, and all promotions are granted. Now it appears each time I try to start a new game... As nobody else is reporting it, I'm really puzzled - and frustrated obviously, as it makes the mod unplayable...
EDIT: Actually, I've recently installed the Unofficial Patch; could this be incompatible with Mars Now!?
Hello The_J
thank you for clearing the group-problem!
Now i have a proposual for further developing: how about of more individuality by different civics?
In your mod there are a few units that can only be build if you choose for example the Cybernetic_society Civic (or religion). I like that and in my opinion much mor units could have that attribut. I tried to make little changes on your mod, but wasen´t succesfull (i couldn`t get it out how you make that civ-definition. I supposed it would work with religion, but i didn´t find it).
I wanted to give every Society her own units.

The unofficial patch is a .dll component, isn't it?
If yes: It shouldn't affect it, but i'm not sure.
-> doing this f******* part of python code on myself is now the next thing on my to do list.
The game crashes on the 18 civ map after installing the latest mod patch
The map works for me (but i see, that the civs and starting points are now not random, i'll have to fix it).
What error message do you get?
Are other maps working?
It's done through a mod component from Zebra9 (sadly it's the component, what is causing Jeleen's troubles
).When you look at the "marsjetzt-v02\assets\" folder, you'll see the folder "zConfig", with an special file in it. You can open it with Notepad, Wordpad, etc, and you'll see, how it is done (one file for the unit, one for the civic, and a third, if you should be allowed to build the unit after changing the civic).
Shouldn't be difficult to understand
, but if it is, then ask me .What units would you suggest?
I do not have much models here (2, which i want to use for UUs, and 2 unused, one plane and a tank)
.I also think, that it shouldn't be too much, because it will confuse some people.
But i'll listen to all suggestions

My game randomly crashes, typically after the discovery of Judaism.
What units would i suggest?
I would reduce the number of units generally. Only two infantry-units for each society. One Regular and one Special-Forces. One recon/scout an one tank. The same for artillery and fighter. If you haven´t good loking bombers, than let them out and make the fighters to fighter-bombers. The same for the mechs. Every society must not have every unit. For exampel why should normal-society not couldn`t be able to build a mech. To give the possibility to upgrade units make MKI, MkII, MKIII ... types from the same units.
At last: your mod doesn`t run stabil either on my PC. Sorry

I seems to be happening after I have chosen new civics and end the turn. I happens on all scenarios, I haven't checked if it happens in random games yet.
EDIT: Apparantly the CTDs are random and happen regardless of what mode I play.
Is it reproducable?
If yes: Could you please attach a savegame?
In my opinion, this would be a complete overkill, just too much, sorry, i will not integrate so much civic specific units.
Also there are really not enough models to do that.
Have you both already tried the hint, to open the worldbuilder at the beginning of the game?

I correct my previous statement. My game randomly crashes regardless of what I'm doing.
Here's a save game as the People's Republic of China.
This mod has a ton of potential. Shame it keeps crashing like this, since I really like the concept.

For Jeelen, and the others, who have problems with the endless money and endless promotions bug: I've redone some of the python, so that i don't need the modcomp, which causes the problems.
Please delete your "marsjetzt-v02\assets\python" folder and replace it with this.
The change will not affect savegames.
I can't load the savegame.
Did you activate this option, where you can't open the Worldbuilder?
Thanks for the compliment.
And yes, it's sad.
EDIT: Attachement removed, this is totally obsolete with the newer versions.

Cool, thanks-a-lot! (Sorry for the extra work... and I believe the Unofficial Patch is DLL, yes.)
The progress gets slower .
I'll be out of modding until tuesday, and also then i do not have much time.
The work is not only for you.
It's also for me, because i didn't really understand, what the modcomp technically did, and so i didn't have the full controll about it.
You're the first to mention this.
But what could be the problem? The leaderhead shows up correctly (and fit's very nice).

I know... Well, we fail and learn. Anyway, good job as everything seems to work fine now.

I like this mod, But I am having the "No Interface" problem. I have tried all the patches, none of them helped.
A last minor fix is here, because i can't create a patch at the next weekend .
It fixes some units- and buildings-prereqs (uh, some needed a minimal area size, which was really strange).
It wasn't a "fail", ZCivics is a really great modcomp, but doing it myself, without the necessarity of being flexible, is much easier, because i can program python. For all other people, this modcomp is easy to use and adds great options to the game.
Have you placed the mod into the C:\programe files\firaxis games\sid meier's civilization 4\beyond the sword\mods-folder (NOT in the "My Documents"-folder") and is the name of the folder really marsjetzt-v02?
Please check it again.

Yup, It is in C:\Programe files\Firaxis games\Sid meier's civilization 4\Beyond the sword\Mods
I was use hot keys to work around the lack of interface, but then I got a Great person and couldn't get him to do anything but move and fortify. I am trying to play on my roomies comp to see if that makes a difference.
