Advanced Civ Plus

This is literally based on the existed mod: "Advanced Civ"

It contains new arts, units, buildings, trait, civs and etc.
Like I said on the download page, if you have any suggestion, just leave comments on this thread.

 

So, are both files needed?
If so, I'm guessing main file first, then the second one is a patch to overwrite?

 

No, just download my file, and it will be okay.

 

Appreciate it, thank you.

 

As I've already written in a private message to @spqkfk (we've exchanged a few messages over the last month), this mod-mod seems like a pretty big contribution. The artwork alone has a similar scope as Varietas Delectat, but is not based on that mod, and, as far as I understand, hasn't been published before as a collection (individually, yes, at least much of it). And then there's more than an expansion's worth of new content, including some two dozen additional leaders. Based on some quick tests, it's stable and it appears that the AI can handle the new content.

Let me perhaps link to the download page – for anyone who comes across this thread via this subforum. There are a few screenshots there; apart from that, I guess one just has to launch the mod to see what all the additions and changes are.

By the way, it might load faster if the bulk of the graphics were packed into fpk files. Edit (March): No longer an issue with the v0.3 update (which packs the artwork files).

 

I can't load this mod(

Spoiler :

 

That's weird.
Have you tried to re-install the mod?
Also, it could be you downloaded a wrong file.
Make sure if that file is the main file - not a update file.

If it doesn't work, well, I will upload a new version in a few days. (which I am currently using)
Try that and if that error occurs again, please tell me.

 

@DarkHorror: Did you rename the mod's folder? The name needs to be the same as the one under DEFAULT_THEME_NAME in Assets\XML\Art\CIV4ArtDefines_Misc.xml and as (twice) in Resource\Civ4.thm. I've renamed my local copy, and I don't remember what the original name was. Your splash screen says "AdvCivPlus", the archive on mega.nz is named "AdvCiv Plus". (Don't want to download it again just to check the name of the unpacked folder.) And the mod needs to be installed in the Mods folder that is located where Civ4BeyondSword.exe is (i.e. not under My Games). These are the two typical causes for that error with any mod that uses a custom theme.

 

Thanks you, I renamed mod's folder to "AdvCiv Plus" and it's working now)

 

Huh. That might explain my issue. Good to know, and ty.
