Blue Marble Terrain

[Ben E Gas]

What else should I look for that tells me that blue marble is working with warlords. I didn't play warlords much before and I forget what it looked like when it was first installed. I have nothing to compare it to so I don't know if the blue marble is installed correctly. I thought the plains were always green, so that shows u what I know. Is there anything else to look for. Does it work with randomly generated terrain or just a certain map I should use? I loaded a map called earth18civs or something, is that correct? Also, how do I zoom out to see a globe view or satellite view of the earth?

thanks.

The huge Earth map AFAIK has be created by Rhye. It is part of the official game and can be played via "SinglePlayer - Play a Scenario".

I have warlords. I do not see this map listed in the menu. Where can I get it?

Thanks.

Just temporarily deinstall BlueMarble with a mouseclick in its installer menu to see how Warlords looks without it.

Unfortunately Firaxis did not include the Civ4 earth maps in Warlords. I prepared a little download to add them: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=179572

To zoom out, press F11 or use the mouse wheel (back is out, forward is in)
And yes, uninstalling Blue Marble will definetely show you the difference. And you can always play any map, it just changes the graphics.
Also, it isn't "running". It just is. Civ4 comes with all the default graphics in some files in the Program Files folder. When you install Blue Marble, it puts its files in the My Games folder, which is in My Documents. The game always uses what is in My Games first, and if there is nothing there, it uses the defaults in the Program Files folder. This is so that you can install new graphichs by putting the file in the My Games folder, but still have the original somewhere else, and you can just delete these files if you want to go back to original. When you uninstall Blue Marble, it just deletes the files it installed in My Games.

You're going to need to make it work with Beyond the Sword.

Yes, an update already is prepared to be released in right time.

Post something here when it happens.

Look at the first picture in the first post of this thread. Towards the right, how can there be a desert next to a river but no green flood plain terrain next to the river.

 

[feldmarshall]

does this work with warlord 2.08?

 

[ggganz]

Yes. Stupid XCL.

I have a mod I'd like to use this with, so that when other players load my mod it will work for them. Do you have a link describing how to do this?

Also, where do I get that earth map posted on teh first page? it looks more like a standard size map than Rhye's huge map.

Thanks,

I suggest to let the other players decide which terrain graphics they want. If people want to download and install the Blue Marble pack too, it will be automatically used with any mod, including yours. If players prefer to keep the original terrain, they only install your mod.

Also, where do I get that earth map posted on teh first page? it looks more like a standard size map than Rhye's huge map.

I made this screenshot with the standard earth map (huge) included with Civ Vanilla.

I think he means where the .exe is. We don't know where you put it. Go to start>search and type in Blue Marble or BlueMarble (can't remember which) and press search. Try the advanced options and select Application from the extremely long list.

Thanks for the replies. I could not find it, so installed it again and then followed the address and uninstalled it

 

[DrewTate]

So are these maps or if i install this will it make the game's random maps look better or waht?

 

[ggganz]

It will just change the graphics. It does not influence what the maps actually are as far a terrain and resources go, but it will change how each type of terrain looks.

The thing about this is there is an installer and that is lovely. Every mod needs to work like this one.
