Great expansion to an almost perfect mod. Thanks a lot!

Just one comment besides, cause so many people have troble with UI... You should add the "delete Python-folder"-instruction to your readme.txt, it says

at the moment. Would have saved me some time puzzling around with installation files

I am happy YOU spend your time puzzling around with merging mods for my pleasure. Thank you!

The quoted text is from Glider's Readme for RevolutionDCM. I keep all readme files from the components I merge. The instructions for installation are present on the download page, and the discussion thread. I recently highlighted the statement for removing the old Python folder so it is more obvious for future. I am sorry if the instructions are not straight forward. Most people who played several mods no longer read installation instructions as they are almost always the same.

Thanks a lot for playing the Add-On I hope you are enjoying RoM2 + RevolutionDCM.

hi zapp!!!
I notice that you used THORN flag mod for BTS in your mod so I would ask you if it is not a problem to you to borrow me that mod???
I was traying to download but THORN links doesant work anymore and I cant find that nowhere!!
PlEaSe!!!!

I dono about this RevolutionDCM for Rise of Mankind 2.0, I mean it is way out of control, its like each time I build up and get revolted most of the structures that I built are gone and have to re build them.

I think this add on requires a lot of make over to be representable with this mod. What I would like to see is a little more control over the rebellions, such as fewer revolts.

Soduka · May 16, 2008

I do fine with it. You must think of the people in a real sense. If you stay in an unfavorable/losing war for a long while, the people will get fed up. If your government suppresses their rights, they will rebel. You must fight short, successful wars, have a balanced government, and a good economy. If your economy is down (Your research slider is down in 30% and lower) they will complain of high taxes and revolt.

I find it fun and it's always rewarding to watch a competitor fall to pieces into several small nations, kind of like the Soviet Union in our world. (Hint: Espionage the hell out of them. Start unhappiness, steal their money, and pretty soon they will crumble)

CrazyAce · May 16, 2008

You know I did start the game with every one at war until they discover writing... I bet that has a lot to do with it.

(Hint: Espionage the hell out of them. Start unhappiness, steal their money, and pretty soon they will crumble)

You don't say... I'm gonna have some fun with this.

Thanx for the advice.

Just had a look at the changes for the patch

Not sure I agree with the observatory needing hills - They don't especially if they are pre 20th century. Galileo did his work from Padua which is on low level land, Copernicus also graduated there but did his work in Poland again fairly flat though actually he was more a mathematician than practical observer.

Even in the 18th century Uranus was discovered by William Herschel at his Observatory in Bath UK - again not an area reknown for it's height

The reason most optical observatories are high these days is more to due with the problems of modern day pollution more - then fine particulates in the air introduced mostly by the industrial revolution and onwards scatter light and there to get a more defined focus the observatory has to be built above the haze layer.

Maybe this should be split into two buildings then? A general "Early Observatory" that can be built anywhere and provide some basic scientific benefits and possibly make it obsolete in the modern age, and then an "Advanced/Modern Observatory" that can only be built with the hill/peak requirements and provide more significant scientific benefits then its predecessor, and have no obsolesence.

Weird graphics problem

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

Zappara:
I've been constantly having problems with the graphics. It always happens when a next turn starts. The images seem to shuffle and the game either chashes to desktop or becomes impossible to go on. My pc is not that shabby: 2.66 mhz, 1.5 giga ram, 256 meg video card.

I realize this mod wasn't really designed for one-city challenges, but I was annoyed to discover the limits on national wonders per city still held even in the OCC.

That stuff is set in the file
...\Beyond the Sword\Mods\<Mod name>\Assets\XML\GlobalDefines.xml
Just use a standard text editor (notepad) and search for Wonder or OCC

I was under the impression that the limit for wonders didn't apply to OCC games, but I'm no expert. If you set the limit for normal games to 100 and play an OCC game you should be OK.

Hi!

Multiplayer we rehearsed it in a manner , we used all accessories, and a synchronisation mistake arose .what it is possible to make?

Loke.be · May 18, 2008

MP works fine so far here (LAN; 2 players; Rev included)

molnibalage · May 19, 2008

Guys, there is a problem. At a certain point in my game I get CTD everytime in the same turn. I can send the save game if you want examine the problem. In this turn I don't invent anything, happens ALL TIME when I press enter for end turn.

This was my first long game with RoM2. I have to start a new game.

zappara · May 19, 2008

Version 2.01 patch released:

Spoiler :

This patch should fix most bugs that were found from v2.0 - including few CTD issues. Kalimakhus' addon won't be compatible with this version until it's updated as well.

Edward The Big · May 20, 2008

I assume I can still use the Extra Civ addon with patch 2.01?

But we can't use the Revolution add-on...

Is that right?

Alphacodex · May 20, 2008

Wow, what a great mod! However I can only tell by the thread here because every download attempt has failed so far. My last attempt was canceled after 4 hours downloading with the message "time out" !! Great...

I'd really love to try out your mod but as there is no resume allowed on filefront, it doens't really make sense to try over and over again. Is there anyother mirroror chance to get your mod??

Btw - your mod could maybe have a lot more fans, if it would be easier to get it... :rolleyes:

Thanx...

Extra Civ addon should work just fine with v2.01. Extra Civ addon does lack one audio fix that is in v2.01 patch but that shouldn't affect anything.

Revolution addon has been now updated to RoM v2.01 and I've updated my little fix that allows you to use both Extra Civ and Revolution addons at the same time. Check first page for new download files.

I guess I'll have to look for other download mirrors. Anyone know any that allows resuming downloads?

Kalimakhus · May 20, 2008

RevolutionDCM Add-On for RoM is updated to work with RoM2.01. You all can get it here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=9087

The new version also includes the latest DLL for RevolutionDCM that is based on Bhruic's patch 1.21. Some minor bug fixes were implemented as well.

For everybody either you have the previous Add-On version or not what you need to do is:
1 - Install the 2.01 patch for RoM that was released by Zappara.
2 - Go to Rise of Mankind\assets and delete the Python folder.
3 - Install the Add-On by extracting it to the mods folder or by opening the archive file in WinRar then drag the folder Rise of Mankind from its window to mods folder.

In case you have the Extra civ Add-On installed or you install it afterward there is a patch that needs to be applied. The patch was first issued by Zappara but now I updated it to be compatible with RoM2.01. You will find the patch as a rar file inside Rise of Mankind folder after installing the Add-On. Copy the two files inside this rar to assets\xml\audio and you are all set to go.

Alphacodex · May 20, 2008

There are several sites that use mirrors that are at least faster and more stable than filefront. I will check if I can find out something. However what about putting the file on eMule in the meantime. I would offer to "host" it via eMule for at least a week until we can find a better mirror (i have a 24/7 connection with a 1MBit upload - not great, but it will help spreading a bit...).

Na I'm gonna have to say stay away form the torrents!!!

Thanx for the update Zap, although 1 question runs to mind if I already have RevDCM does it mean that I have to completely uninstall RoM2 and then reinstall with RoM2+Patch+RevDCM3.0?

Or can I just get away with what Kalimakhus posted?
