MoM Installation Failure

[LPlate2]

Hi,

I recently downloaded and installed Master of Mana with the installer. I get a load of xml errors when loading the module. Firstly, none of the SPELLRESEARCH seems to be included but there are a few other xml errors before the module fails to load.

Has anyone had this problem before?
Am I missing some required patch?
Does it matter that I'm using Steam?

I wouldn't know.
but I read on multiple mods for FFH2 that using the steam install leads to bug.
If you do a search with "FFH2" and "steam" you might find how to correct it.

Sorted.

Problem 1: Although I had set both Civ 4 and BtS to the Unsupported Original Release in the Beta in Steam, I had not initiated an online game from within Steam since doing this. I clicked Play for both Civ 4 and BtS whilst online in Steam this evening.

Problem 2: Mods folder. There are several and apparently I was using the wrong one (even though the module appears in the ingame listing). The correct location for the mods when playing with Steam is, C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword\Beyond the Sword\Mods. I corrected this this evening also.

At this stage FFH (installed from installer) worked and Middle Earth (installed without installer) worked. MoM still did not work. I was not getting xml errors now though. The error was, GFC Error: Failed to initialize the primary control theme.

Problem 3: Module name. When the MoM installer was run, it used MoM as the module's folder name. I retitled this to Master of Mana. The module now loaded perfectly.

Good to know.

Willl have to install Civ4 on a Win10 system and the Steam-Version handles that, but has other problems when modding. This info greatly helps.
