This mod is not longer available for download and I no longer support it. For mods with more features and much better stability try one of these:

• History Rewritten by myself

• MAC BAT converted by myself

• Ethnic Mix More by Coffee Junkie
 
A little problem, is that !

At least anybody can combine VD 7.5 into a mod with BUG and Blue Marble for a pure Mac Mod ;)
 
I've converted the Polynesia for VD optional extra and added it to the first post.

Done! See the solution I posted in the BUG thread :)

I've done very little compared to avain and other contributors to this fabulous mod, but thanks all the same :)

And successfully played with no problems (I used Shaka so the ethnic units would be most obvious)!

It was them I was referring to by "those who came before you", but your contributions have really enhanced my game experience, so thanks again.
 
VD 8.0 is apparently being released soon, so once that's out I'll convert that and MEE at the same time. Leaders of VD too if it's not too tricky.
 
VD 8.0 update and Modern Era Expansion added to first thread. Let me know if I broke anything :)

EDIT: Working on Leaders of VD atm. I have it running without errors but there is a LOT of text garbage. Slowly cleaning it up as best I can.
 
Hmm.

Firstly, when is it crashing? While the mod is loading, while the map is being generated or while playing? Are any error messages being displayed? The most likely situation is that it's clashing with something you have in Custom Assets. Open Mods/Varietas Delectat/Varietas Delectat.ini and look for the following line:

Code: 
NoCustomAssets = 0

Change this to:

Code: 
NoCustomAssets = 1

If it still crashes I'm at a bit of a loss as it's working fine for me. If Custom Assets was the issue let me know what mods you had in there (BUG, Blue Marble, etc) and I'll see if I can recreate it and find a fix.

Is anyone else having issues with this version (or the one without MEE)?
 
I've updated the first post with a download for Leaders of Varietas Delectat. It's not a standalone module so it's a little tricky to install. Just follow the directory structure carefully and only replace files, not whole folders.

Converting it took a while as there was a LOT of encoding errors to fix. Hopefully I've fixed the majority but I'm sure some slipped by me. If you see any text garbage (most probably in the Civilopedia or during diplomacy) let me know and I'll post fixes.

Only some of the new leaders have non-English translations, and I've not tested these beyond checking if the mod launches without error. Hopefully they came out okay and if not, let me know.

Enjoy :)
 
I tried that, still crashes whenever i try to load any sort of map.
I DO have the bug mod, but the whole nocustomassets thing did nothing.
 
When you it crashes are you getting any messages in your Console log or any of the BTS logs? I'll need more info so I can try reproduce it. It's not crashing for me with or without BUG and it doesn't make a difference what mapscript I use.

Could someone else try install it and let us know whether it works for them or not?

EDIT: Also doublecheck the size of the zip file in case it didn't download/upload properly. It should be 183.9MB (192.8MB on Snow Leopard)
 
Downloading VD 8.0 + Modern Era = 184 Mo on Snow Leopard
 
This whole alternate way of measuring disk and file size on SL confuses me greatly >< Safari says it's 184MB but Finder says its 192MB.

The important question is does it extract, install, load and play alright? It does for me, but I need to know whether I or skipper21136 is the exception so I can help him/her (and everyone) get it running.
 
Finder in Snow Leopard uses 1 megabyte = 1000 x 1000 bytes.

Finder in earlier Mac OS's used 1 megabyte = 1024 x 1024 bytes.

Safari in any OS is not doing anything with numbers, it's just displaying a sequence of characters that the server sends to it. If the server is counting in units of 2^10 (1,024) then that's what the browser displays.
 
Yeah. It's like daylight savings, even though I know how it works it still confuses me every time it happens heh.
 
Can you pack in the same Zip VD 8.0+Modern Era+Leaders of VD+Polynesia ?

Because it seems unintuitive this method you ask to make for copying files
 
I have limited bandwidth and upload space to host these files, I can't post a full archive of every possible configuration sorry, especially if I start converting other modules like Hungary, Poland, etc. I made a full archive version that included MEE because installing MEE was really messy. By comparison, Leaders of VD and the Polynesia module are relatively straight forward to drag and drop install. I'll try and write clearer instructions in the first post.

I don't know how to write an installer for all these or I would.

EDIT: better instructions written, though they're more kinda guidelines. If anyone has any suggestions how I could make these modules easier to install (with a dedicated installer) please let me know. I've tried unarchiving in place but that just creates duplicate folders like Assets-1.
