Old Version for Patch v1.50 for Warlords v2.0.0.0 ***Only use for old save games***

If you haven't installed v2.00 as a full and clean install, it is STRONGLY recommended that you delete the entire \Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Warlords\Mods\VISA directory and install a fresh, full version of ViSa v2.00 and then the latest patch, which includes all previous patches. Version 2.00 Full includes registry settings that are required by ViSa python files.

A 'letter' increment in the Patch Build indicates a save game compatible update, whereas a 'number' increment usually means the update is not save game compatible.

Please play with language set to English as full translations to any other language are not fully supported at this time.

ViSa Installation

Full Version

This mod is contained in an Automatic Installer, run the EXE (extract from RAR if you chose that download) and follow the directions.
To have the mod load automatically at game startup, edit the CIVILIZATION.INI file in your \My Documents\My Games\Warlords directory. Change the "Mods=0" to "Mods=Mods\VISA".
The Automatic Installer will clear the cache AND the custom assets directories.
Please use Add/Remove Programs option in the Windows Control Panel to remove ViSa to clear the registry keys.

Patch Update

The latest patch is contained in an EXE and RAR format. Please run the EXE or extract the RAR to the \Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Warlords\Mods\VISA directory.
You may need to clear the cache by deleting everything in the C:\Documents and Settings\{YOUR USERNAME}\Application Data\My Games\Warlords\cache before starting the game (highly recommended).

What about a world map for the VISA 1.20 ?

A standard, a large and an huge ones ?

With 32 Civ ? :crazyeye:

Axil · Oct 7, 2006

Slowly playing through a game using the normal map generator now I've abandoned smartmap visa and quite enjoying myself though I did make sure Atilla wasn't in my game (find the static picture instead of animated head a tota switch off). Love the fact that part of Gir's mod is now part of the mod and find myself triggering golden ages just to get unique units

. Also see warlord military academy is adding a little extra which is great

.though a minor issue (doesn't affect game at all) is that then you get the axemen/swordsmen bonus on the first academy it's reporting them as our old friends the Special Forces and Marines (remember how much problems that caused the first time lol) though you do get the correct units

Arlborn · Oct 7, 2006

So folks, is that the last-almost-ctd-free-version? Great job men, great job! When do you sleep??

Last days I'm too focused in Sevo mod, but for mods like your guys, I always have time

Downloading! But its slow lol

TAfirehawk · Oct 7, 2006

OK, should be able to get the full v1.20 on my website/alternative link here and from the main website. Let me know if that speeds things up.

Also, using a free download manager like Download Accelerator Plus (search Google) helps alot.

Maps are not up on the To Do list yet....we have a TON of mod components to add to ViSa yet, in fact every single mod out there is at least on the maybe list

I recommend downloading the full v1.20 and starting fresh...I haven't gotten 'great' starting locations with SmartMap but it doesn't crash either...

And yes I wiped out my VISA directory completely to be 'clean'

Yes this should be CTD free and most bugs (except text) are fixed

Do I need to DL 1.20 and patches or just 1.20 (b/c 1.20 contains all the patches)? Also, is the pakbuild included in 1.20?

v1.20 includes the whole thing, patches, pakbuild...all the latest and greatest in one install file but must be used on a 'clean' install of ViSa.

current game of visa 1.2, playing as the huns. i love the deer riders, they look great. sorry to see griffons and werewolfs go. those are the little things that add flavor, imho. playing visa smartmap, huge. no problems so far. good job team!!!!!!!!

rockinroger · Oct 7, 2006

possible mod addition would be "my mp military mod by officer reene." tons of cool, good military stuff. I dont remember how do we get the great person mod activated again?

We decided to keep the units a bit more realistic so those two are gone for now.

Great Person art is not working...we will have a patch out in the next few minutes to enable them AND keep them in the pakbuild. mrgenie is an AMAZING programmer and I will hint that we will release next week something no other modder has been able to do, but has wanted to do :mischief:

Axil · Oct 7, 2006

Actually I'm using a Clean pak build plus the pak patched build and the non pak build just for testing purposes. so far Smart map visa is flaky on all of them, and pakbuild patched is doing something strange and crashing the graphics driver (more likely crappy ATI driver though) however I have great persons working (i do have the art directory folder though ). to get GP mod just install the great persons art folder.

BTW any work being done on getting Gir's perk system into the mod?

TAfirehawk · Oct 7, 2006

PATCH 0.20b RELEASED

This patch is save game compatible and includes Patch 0.20a as well. GreatPerson art should now be working from the PakBuild file as well...no other changes.

I haven't looked at GIR's perk system....keldath might know more about putting that in than I do.

Well Version 1.20 along with Patch 0.20b are different than either of those setups you are using so give it a try.

BTW, I can max out my cable modem at over 300KB/sec with a download manager from the Alternate Website

keldath · Oct 7, 2006
