Rise and Rule for Civ3:Conquests

[jimkirk]

when i try to extract the mods into the proper folder all i get is errors im also using windows vista the game btw works fine in vanilla mode

 

[notwillieg]

Instead of opening the zip program normally, try right-clicking the shortcut for your zip utility and selecting `run as administrator`, and then open the zip file with the program. That usually works for me.

 

[jimkirk]

thanx ill try that

just tried your suggestion and unfortunatly i dont get the option right clicking on the zip or rare file to open or run as admin .. ill try opening the program from my desktop to run as admin

Anyone know the difference between 1.02, and 1.03?

 

[Empiremaker]

1.03 was an internal release fixing the main issue in 1.02 (Worker Speeds). The most current version is 1.04 pre-beta.

 

[geminisama]

[jimkirk]

where do we get the 1.04 version if we have the 1.02? or can we just download a patch?

 

[Ward]

see posts 2134 for all the download loctions.

He did a good service to recap all that.


When I migrated the program to my laptop I didn't have half the problems that I encountered with Windows 98. I am running Windows Pro now and loaded the Conquests under admin and then loaded the up the download for 1.4 beta and had no problems.

The only thing that I haven't really been successful at is adding more Wonders to the system.

I would like minor wonders like Ford Motor Company after the discovery of rubber and automotive. This would give a car dealer in each city. I look at the production of the modern world and the limit of one factory in each city and looked to increase production.

I also wanted to add another minor wonder after the Corporation to also increase production. I know that the assembly plant does add production in each city, but still looking to have a city of 1 to 4 million with an industrial park of factories. That is akin to the wind mill and wind mill park which I don't get to often.

Has anyone had problems playing RaR 1.02 simultaneous multiplayer? When I try with a friend we get an error saying it can't find the summer palace.

edit: here's the exact message:

"missing entry in "text\Pediaicons.txt: ICON_BLDG_Palace_Garden
the game will now exit"

If I delete it and try again, it can't find the next building on the list. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

[PaGe]

Are you sure, you have installed RaR in the scenarios-folder and not the conquest-folder? That was my last fault, when I got this error.

But why don't you use the 1.03 or 1.04?

 

[DariusIV]

I am seeming to have the same problem sadly.

Also, why does 1.04PB only have 512 turns and not the 900 one? Thats the only reason I dont wanna switch.

 

[Guldan]

Are you sure, you have installed RaR in the scenarios-folder and not the conquest-folder? That was my last fault, when I got this error.

But why don't you use the 1.03 or 1.04?

I'm quite sure I saved everything in the correct places. The game works for each of us individually.

I recently found and tried installing v1.04B but must have done something wrong because it messed up everything. So far I've only spent the time to make 1.02 work again.

 

[PaGe]

Then I don't know what's the fault. Do all have the same version? Can you save a SP-Game and send someone of your friends the file that they can open it?

Perhaps someone else has more suggestions.

 

[Guldan]

Ok, I tried again w/ v1.04 and got that working on my computer. I even got it to work on simultaneous multiplayer. The catch is importing. For some reason RaR doesn't like being converted into a bic file to allow importing rules or maps or anything (I don't know enough about this stuff to know why; I only know a lil bit of VB.Net and C++ for programming and the rest of my computer knowledge is just enough to get me through the removal of random viruses, and I haven't even needed to do that in years). I don't think we thought to just generate a random map and try that yet though. But for some reason now when I try to play a RaR game, even a "blank" one, the game quits on me. If I load a previous save, it'll play for a short while and then quit. If I start a conquests game (i.e. Medieval Europe), it'll play for a short while and quit. So now I'm going to try reinstalling Civ. Again. I had to not too long ago because I tried saving a game with a "." in the name of the save. Not a good idea trust me! lol

 

[Civinator]

Could anybody please be so kind to temporarily load here the RAR v. 1.03 patch?

RAR 1.03 only has a size of 1,2 MB so the upload of a zipped version should be possible without big problems. All links to that version seem to be broken (including the links of Karl der Grosse).

In advance thank you very much!

 

[JSnider]

attached rar 103 patch, or at least i hope i did. if need 104 have it also. Well tried twice and not showing??, if want can send to you unless someone else has better luck.

Thank you very much. I send you a pm with my email-adress. May be it´s the best, if the files you sent me, get a new home on the Stormoverciv-site for public download, so every civer can use them again.

 

[mhvf]

Thanks for all the mod creators. I've registered here just to say this. Civ 3 is becoming old, but i preffer this one.

 

[ynot56]

I recently refreshed my computer.

CivIII got lost in the move.

I played RAR a lot.

The link provided for the v1.03 patch is 404.

While I can live without the 1.04PB patch, I would hate to remain with the crimped workers in the v1.02.

Does anyone know where the 1.03 patch resides on-line? Or can someone e-mail it to me?

You cannot attach an exe to this forum.

Thanks for any assistance.
