Hi everybody:

I would want to know how I could play as seljuks. Just making them playable, (always at war and without historical victories) because I like the concept of "me against every civ" :goodjob:

Thanks!
 
You can already do that:

1. Enable cheat mode by opening _Civ4Config in your BtS folder and change the "CheatCode = 0" line to "CheatCode = chipotle".
2. Use Ctrl-Z to cycle through all active civilizations during the game. Best wait until the Seljuks have spawned. You can then continue to play as them.

Note: there is a scripted collapse for the Seljuks at the Ottoman spawn, you might want to remove that. To do this open Assets\Python\RiseAndFall.py and add a # before the lines 2467-2469 so that it looks like this:
Code:
                #if iCiv == iTurkey:
			#if pSeljuks.isAlive():
				#utils.killAndFragmentCiv(iSeljuks, iIndependent, iIndependent2, -1, False)

By the way, +1 for your Firefly nick.
 
Can you be more specific? What exactly doesn't work?

Edit: okay, I'm an idiot. First, it should say "CheatCode" both before and after editing the file, there was a type. Second, cycling through civs is Alt+Z, or maybe Alt+Y. I'm on a German keyboard and I can never remember whether the cheat codes are key bound or character bound.
 
I followed your instructions, then, I chose Poland (they spawn shortly before seljuks), and when seljuks spawned, I opened world builder and saved the scenario. But when I started that scenario, seljuks weren't still playable.
 
You dont have to save and exit the game, you change civs in-game. You dont have to pick them on the start screen as usual. Are you sure you followed Leoreths instructions? :)
 
Right. Just press the key combinations in game.
 
It works!!!!!!!!!!!

(ALT+Z)

Thanks!!!!

P.D.: And now... to conquer the world and create a "Seljuk Steampunk", hehe
 
Uhm...
I changed what you told me (add # before the lines 2467-2469) but they still collapse :(

What can I do?
 
Directly at the Ottoman spawn? Can you show me your RiseAndFall file?
 
My lines are:

#if iCiv == iTurkey:
#if pSeljuks.isAlive():
#utils.killAndFragmentCiv(iSeljuks, iIndependent, iIndependent2, -1, False)

I was thinking about delete "iSeljuks" from the last line. Could it work?
 
The # symbol makes the interpreter treat these lines as comments, i.e. they are already without consequence. Must be something else that's causing this, give me a moment.

Edit: the Seljuks can also collapse if they lose their capital or are reduced to only two cities. That's line 342-345 in RFCEventHandler.py, which you might want to comment out with # as well, if that's what happened to you. Couldn't find anything else.
 
When ottomans spawned I controlled an empire from Italy to India, so I had many more than 2 cities.
 
Can you upload a save from right before your collapse?
 
A saved game.
 
Attach them to a post here.
