THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!

 

[Leif]

Pleaaaaaase

 

[GarretSidzaka]

ok guys, i'm uploading it now, to a temporary host. so get it quick.

TO DO's:
all of the flavor and civiliopaedia texts (if you have already submitted some, they havent been added yet ) if you want to submit, just post here
also need to add strategy texts
and please, tell me if something glitches, right here in this thread!

 

[Dale]

Looking forward to seeing this in action!

 

[GarretSidzaka]

ok added the download. Im using Quicksharing, but eventually i will be using 3d downloads and probly civ4files.com for the mirrors (after the beta)

 

[GarretSidzaka]

im already having bugs, reinstalling Warlords/civ4 and retry

 

[GarretSidzaka]

the first error is this: the load time on the map when the scenario is initialized does not end (ive waited maybe 5-7 minutes). it normally loads way before this time.

my GUESS is that there are some conflicts with the new python that was implemented before i uploaded. i hope that Dale and Fabrysse can work this out

 

[GarretSidzaka]

Ok, i reverted to an older python, and it loads again, so i will have an updated download real real soon!

Huge Update

I sucessfuly played about 20 turns multiplayer. It started to get a little unstable. I think it might have crashed on click an arty, but it could have also just randomly crashed. It crashed for my wife a couple times too.

Fixed Two Banks thing.
Added Mount rushmore (world wonder)
Fixed "Fallout cleaning glitch"
Fixed a buncha crap

uploading newer version now.

 

[asioasioasio]

Ok add me to the beta testing team

 

[Hadrean]

You sent me a PM and the download link. The first thing I noticed was it was 109MB, do you think it is possible to cut that down? Maybe make two seperate downloads, one for what is needed generaly, Graphics, units, leaderheads, but put the Music files in another file for those who don't have a fast computer and is not nessesary to have the music files but can download them if nessesary.

 

[GarretSidzaka]

this is a good idea. i think this will have to be addressed in the next release. I also think we should discuss this more...

I just finished making the bugs go away for the soundtrack. But please pay attention for the load fail if a song has an error.

anyone who has a wireless network, or a LAN in their house, or even just two computers, might want to try multiplayer out and see what kind of things crash it out.

 

[GarretSidzaka]

we are gonna have to back up civ4 before we patch so that we can stil beta until the SDK and python are worked out. Im getting crash before loading.

dale were you gettin that too coz of the patch against AoD mod?

 

[Dale]

Nah, AoD is vanilla 1.61 civ4 only, not warlords.

 

[ArneHD]

I'll be downloading now.

Edit: Ok, bug. Failed to load file CvAbInterface error whenever I select a unit. It states that it's a python error.

 

[Dale]

Just so everyone knows, you won't be able to play this mod if you've upgraded to 2.08 warlords.

Well, not till next week when the sdk is released anyways.

Did you patch before playing. the beta was release the night before the 2.0.8.0 patch was, and it wont play when patched.



fix: reinstall civ4/warlords, then copy the entire civ4 folder to you desktop and run it from there for second rev. then install the 2.0.8.0 patch in the normal installation folder.

 

[Dale]

Also, if anyone wishes to test this mod AND play 2.08 at the same time you can.

Before upgrading to 2.08 make a copy of your ENTIRE "\Sid Meiers Civilization IV\" folder. Upgrade one to 2.08 and voila you have both version.

This will need to be done until we get the new SDK to upgrade the DLL file. The python will also need to be revisited, but that can be done now.
