[BtS] "Extra"

[pebsykid]

Just loaded the mod and I am able to load the map and the game plays fine. I just cant see any of the menus, like the one on the bottom during the game where you can build city, pillage... etc, for the units. I can get by with hotkeys and such but was just wondering how I could fix this (basically its all black other then the graphics, if that makes sense)

To add onto this because I guess I did not explain it well enough. Getting through my game okay but I can't promote units or do anything with specialists since I cant see those options or the map in the right corner. This also includes seeing any of the stuff on top (gold, research, culture, espionage) etc.

Any help would be awesome.

Two good possibilities:

1) You have the interface set to minimal mode (or whatever it is called) which is toggleable via alt-I, or something like that (ctrl-I?).

2) You have BUG installed to always be active without loading it as a mod. If this is the case, find Extra.ini and change the NoCustomAssets setting from 0 to 1.

Tried both, no luck

Nice looking mod, it's a shame I won't be able to get anything done around the house for the next month between this mod and the others. Oh well.

Nicely crafted and excellent!

Hei! First of all ,nice work all of you that contributed to this MOD ,and to the main developer.
NOW. I played CIV IV since....forever (also all the games in the series) and just before unistalling it ,i wanted to go for one more scenario. Sure ,i was bored of the same old BTS scenarios and maps ,and searching for one to download ,i got this website that ROCKS!...
Well ,after seeing that there are also MOD packs that give everything you ever missed in CIV IV ,i got to the point of actual happyness!
Now ,i finished almost 8 hours of repeated tries to make ANY custom mod work...and the EXTRA mod made it to the actual game ,but...after finally making a custom MOD to work ,i noticed (on EXTRA) that i have no menu's! NONE ,I hate hotkeys (i only use the B one for the city) ,and i just can't play the game without them.
The problem might be from your mod ,from my computer or my BTS/CIV IV copy....but ,in CIV GOLD 5.2 mod ,it loads the mod but does not show any changes to BTS. Other small mods just don't start ,giving me a lot of errors (XML ones)....
I noticed at lest 3 people experiencing the same problems (no menus) on this thread ,and they are quite....ignored. So hopefully someone can think of something...I really want to be able..at leas to play with my country (Romania)...
THanks a lot for thinking about mine (our) problem with this mod (the last version available on 5-th august)

EDIT: never mind

 

[Cristi28med]

i finally made it work ,so if any of you experience the lack of menus in the game problem ,here it is.
UPGRADE BTS 3.19 ! ,the patch can be found here ,on the downloads for CIV IV database ,it's self installing ,and after that you can play any of the mods that did not work for you.
We are probably just players who had the game for ages ,just reinstalled it ,and...forgot that probably there are PATCHES to it !
Now....can someone familiar with this MOD ,tell me....WHERE CAN I FIND A WORLD MAP?
Not a scenario ,not a place where someone tells me to choose from 18 civ's instead of as many as the mod has....or the resourcesc found on the extra mod are not there....
I hate to play newly generated world ,as this game features a lot of real civilizations that should act and evolve in REAL places.
Anyone knows such a map? (Just a map ,not a scenario!)

Just poking my head in here and saying I've stopped being mad at all of the Civ franchise for Civ V and returned to Civ IV, with mods of course.

I'm currently running the latest version of the Extra mod, and have been playing with unrestricted leaders turned on with both the leader and civ set to random. I've also found out I've almost completely forgotten how to play, but I'm still enjoying your mod Chiyu despite me having forgotten any degree of competence I used to have. I haven't had any problems with the mod besides a few minor visual bugs (mainly the bilboards on top of the corporation building models are blank hot-pink textures, and the Central America styling tank looks like it was designed to blend in with a coral reef but that one's a design decision that you probably had nothing to do with).

In the first post you list 2 Canadian Empires:

- Canadian Empire
---> Leader(s): Samuel de Champlain and Trudeau
---> Unique Unit: Mountie (replaces Cavalry)
---> Unique Building: Microwave Station (replaces Broadcast Tower)

- Canadian Empire
---> Leader(s): Mongkut
---> Unique Unit: Kwaan Chang (replaces War Elephant)
---> Unique Building: Ho Trai (replaces Library)

The first one sounds right.
The second one sounds like you mean Thailand or Siam?

Hey, quick question Chiyu: is the Finish Sauna supposed to not get the +1 from hit football events? The thing already gets +1 , +2 :health and +2 compared to the normal Colosseum, so it's not a big deal. I was just curious is all.

 

[TheMarshmallowBear]

:/ it looks so intviting, I jus wish you could've added other mods, such as Fixed Borders (is there even a stand-alone version of this mod) Religious Victory/Iinquisitions

Because had RoM + the expansion pack been not too clutered with those new technologoies and hundreds of hundreds of structures, units etc. I would've used that one.. but it's just too clutred.
==============
1. Is it possible to disable the EXTRA Corporation (as I assumed there will be simple MORE of them rather than default replacements)

2. Well, I downloaded the version without Corporations and it won't load at all, the .exe file crashes when using mod= mods/extra and won't work with LOAD A MOD option either.

3. How come you havne't used BUG mod, it's an amazing mod, it adds so much it makes very easy playing. To be perfectly honest, for as long as the BUG is not in there there is no point downloading, the only "acceptable" mod to download is the Destiny that uses your mod and RevDCM.. :/ I'm disappointed.

Well, time to peek my head out of lurking and working...

This is a pretty excellent mod-comp you got here, seriously almost to the point of an actual Expansion Pack proper, but there are a few things I would change, but minor stuff:
1. It's a bit offsetting having vastly different music for every level, with some leaders using defaults then switching to their own later on for instance. More of a nitpick than anything (Especially since I'm doing a fine job of that myself...)
2.The XML text is just entirely scattered around, it seems to have just been added one-by-one.

I'm already in the process of working out those two problems, if I can get permission I'll probably upload the unofficial Mod-of-a-Mod when it's done...

This mod is good wonderful work here. I just have a couple questions to in regards with other modders you guys are some of the best.

Opinion 1:
From the civilization series so much makes sense and not enough in, like they left out administration which deals with the workforce and workers, not in the game. I know because i can see what is in and what is off.

The banks own everything, time and material is everything and what is left off is business, finances, wealth, population. Under the Specialist category what is left off is "Agent". For the population adviser mush is left off for various kinds like citizen is in there, what is left off villager, civilian, settler is in there, worker is in there, but they have it under "units". Even the entire adviser is left off.

So i had an idea and i'm not a modder know nothing about it. My idea is the population adviser should indicate the specifics of the population as a whole. Settler does this, means this, villager does this means this, civilian does this means this, worker does this means this and same with citizen it does this means this.

You people do a good job at what you do.

What should they mean from the population adviser? "Villager" (Native which means they were born inside the borders) My idea is borders might expand as they do in the game, but what about the city expanding to? "Civilian" (Prison system should indicate those who break the laws would be names "Civilian") well, hope it makes sense, but even the Prison system has a capacity limit, so in regards to this the term should indicate what is what if there were a sim mode. Should be able to find from the population adviser as to what areas in the city population is what and what and how to deal with it accordingly.

What i do is relate the game mechanics to real life mechanisms see what i'm saying?

And finally again, from the population adviser "Citizen" would be various kinds like attorneys, lawyers, doctors, scientist, etc... The Adviser as a whole should indicate the total population and definition as to who is what. I didn't know where to post this, because i have read the civopedias from the various modders, but this should spice the game up more.

Wealth adviser left off, business adviser left off, Population adviser left off. Different branches of the armed services left off. Commercial planes left off.

Haven't had time to play this yet, but I took a quick look at the civilopedia and some of the leaders and so far everything looks awesome!

 

[PreLynMax]

Does Chinyu know that Megaupload has been seized by the government? Just a random question.

 

[The Almighty dF]

Anyone have a way to disable marsh?

I like using this mod, but I really hate how overly common marsh is, it's just... -everywhere-.

 

[Kwibuss]

AlmightyDF, all you could do is use a map generator which I do, but it seems that the resources don't go well with the map generator though.

+1 for this mod btw.

 

[Phlum]

I hate to necrobump this, but it is a good modpack. So much so that I did a video of it!

Link to video.

 

[The Almighty dF]

Anyone still have this uploaded anywhere, since both sites listed on the front post are gone?

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I have it, I could upload it to Atomicgamer if you want.
