Beta HOF Rules/FAQ

Will games lacking start files be accepted in permanent HoF?

No, they won't.

When I checked the start file for a game I was going to submit it said: "Version 1.52 Unrecognized Install".
Any idea why?

It most likely it means either:

• Some files have been changed in your assets dir, such as xml/py files.
• You're using a filesystem other than NTFS.

Could you download this utility:
http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ4/mods/Civ4AssetChecker1.1.zip

Extract it from the zip file and run it. Click on "Check". When that completes click on "Save Results" and save the .csv file somewhere, then send that .csv file back to us at hof@civfanatics.net.

I used it but it said: "Failed to find Civ 4's assets folder"? I haven't changed any files and I have submitted games before with no problems.

I tried to send you an email but it bounced. Could you make sure your email address on the HOF site is up to date?

Alright I've fixed it.

 

[Shadowsong]

I'll submit it anyway and see what happens. :suicide:

Now the patch is here, the HoF will remain beta?

 

[Dianthus]

We're working on it. Hopefully waiting for the patch has been good practice, and now you're all MORE, not less patient .
