BAT Mod for Mac

[popalopa]

hello... I've read the whole thread and well, my issue never came up... It's not really an issue, it's more that the graphics display kinda weird in the civics advisors... In my past game, in the trade advisors, the leader's icons were all blurry except Asoka.
Also I don't see the BUG icon anymore, the espionnage screen and victory screen are not the same... I did as instructed, so is it normal?

Spoiler :

I also realized some icons are small compared to others in the Sevopedia, maybe that's the reason.

I think that happens if graphics quality of BTS is set to Low, I'm not certain though. Check that and if that doesn't fix it, let me know.

Btw I know I haven't updated MAC BAT in a long time, but this is because there are a lot of changes happening to the Windows version - most notably, VD9.0 is coming out soon. When BAT has been updated I'll see what needs to be done to make it Mac compatible.

^^ Exactly, that was the reason... I'll leave it low, the leaders animations are not working otherwise (don't think it's related to BAT), it's ok , I'll deal with it.

Antialiasing is the option that causes the leaders to mess up. Set that to 0 and you can set the rest to anything else you like.

MAC BAT 2.1:
Every time I go to world builder, the game crashes

 

[eduhum]

That is just a very great BUG in the game.
As I said before, the game crashes when I go to worldbuiler AND/OR just going up with the camera.
A message appears saying somewhat as:
FATAL ERROR
Exiting program. Reason: Bad alloc. (numbers)
And sometimes in diplomacy mode the game freezes.
I'd like to know who could I do to have a solution for this
I'm playing on 2.1, 18 continents and civilizations, largest possible map, and Renaissance Era

Sorry I've been without a computer for a while so I haven't been able to test this. World Builder works fine for me but there was an issue with the Greeks that could be causing the problem. This post has a fix for it.

MAC BAT is now quite out of date compared to the Windows version. The reason I've not been updating it is because there's been a change of project lead who is doing an awesome job at fixing all the problems with BAT, also the author of VD is back and updating regularly too. As a result the mod has been massively overhauled and will require a new conversion from scratch.

I've learned a lot from creating HR so what I would prefer to do this time around is contribute any fixes to the new project lead so that BAT itself can be Mac compatible, rather than maintaining a separate version. Once she's got BAT up to date with all the latest VD changes I'll have a look at it and see what needs doing.

I downloaded this mod no problems for my Mac, but i must admit that the mod severely slows down the performance of the game on my comp. Towards the end of the game, turns end up taking forever and alot of stuff takes a long time to load. Its a good mod, but Idk if the performance hit is worth it for me or not,.

Sorry for the late answer... Thanks a lot!!! I just tried that and it worked out perfectly!

This is the great mod!

But I want to remove Blue Marble.
I love default terrain graphics.

Does anyone know how to remove Blue Marble?

 

[Xyth]

I don't have a copy of MAC BAT handy anymore so I cannot verify this but in the Assets folder there are several files with the extension .fpk. One of these is the high resolution version of Blue Marble and another is the low resolution version (it's possible I may have removed one of these already, I forget). It should be fairly obvious from their names.

Remove them from the Assets folder (always best to back them up somewhere just in case). If memory serves the mod should work as normal but without the Blue Marble terrain.

Maybe I'm missing something, but the link from the first page seems to not work anymore.

I wanted to give this a try, but I can't find it on the site. Is it gone?

Thanks,

It's no longer available sorry. The Windows version moved in a direction that wasn't possible to follow on Mac and I just don't have the time, desire or bandwidth to support it anymore.

@Xyth: Please can you edit the first post to indicate that, and remove the link? If you're too busy, let me know and I can do it for you.

Done! Apologies, thought I had already done this a while back.

I removed "BM_v4.50_HI.FPK" and "BM_v4.50_LO.FPK", and that's done!

Thank you!
