If the screenies are any indication, very ... very nice indeed. Just a quick question though, the SDK files show a bunch of warlords stuff. Does this work if those enteries are removed and compiled for civ iv vanilla?

Unfortunately it is not working for me...
I have Warlords build 213..
Any clues?

 

[Zuul]

One clue could be that it is over an year old update on this file .

 

[Gyulimali]

... or any help getting ANY terraformig possibility?

 

[NeverMind]

Well, actually Blacksun updated this mod for 208 (download) and BtS (download).

Try 208 version, probably it works for 213 either.

PS. And I would recommend ViSa Modpack. It has a bunch of terraforming options.

 

[Gyulimali]

Thanks!
Although I found Caesium mod, which has all terraforming, and more ;-)
Mod for 208 does not work with 213, but I will try for BTS, since I didn't do that already.

I like this mod, i used to use it in warlords. It says its been updated for BTS but... I have used it now up to rifleing and I still cant plant trees. I dont remember in warlords what tech the mod gave the plant tree option. Anyone know if this works, or failing that know of another mod that can plant trees?

 

[Gyulimali]

It was paper...

 

[Glazedhammy]

Well if it was paper then it doesnt work Need to contact the mod maker i guess. Eh then there is the slight problem that I dont know russian...

Edit: I downloaded it direct from the site, had to figure out how to understand russian first, and it still doesnt work. I sent an email to the site email adress... At least I think thats what it was. But its in english so if he cant read it well.... I dont know I guess I will need a new tree planting mod.

Second Edit: The problem of no trees stems from the fact that the XML has all the worker commands

<Build>
<BuildType>BUILD_TERAFORM</BuildType>
<bBuild>1</bBuild>
</Build>

Thats under unit infos, it has them for roads and such, but it has none for forest. So I went and looked in the file from warlords and found this

<Build>
<BuildType>BUILD_FEATURE_FOREST</BuildType>
<bBuild>1</bBuild>
</Build>

So you see, this was removed, but the question is why. If I knew why, as well as what other changes to other files the plant forest mod made I could just add in the missing text - maybe, but as i dont know how to make a mod or where all the components of the build_feature_forest are, I cant actully fix it myself

 

[NeverMind]

Glazedhammy, unfortuntely there is no forest replanting feature in bts version yet. Just terraforming. Sorry for the inconvenience.

 

[Glazedhammy]

Well thats alright. My old warlords playstyle was to have all trees and roads on grasslands. That only leads to my death in BTS. I did make it with 8 cities to about 1600 with some new ideas but then i lost when hannible sp* got a diplomatic victory. My mostly christian world plan backfired. But eventully trees would be nice.
