I'd appreciate any feedback.

So what happens when you turn on the modular loading?

 

[banality]

Disregard my earlier post, I forgot to merge the new worker abilities into the regiments mod.

This is a very nice mod. It's tidy and has lots more of everything which is never a bad thing...the extras also feel like they belong and add a little to the overall strategy.

 

[Zimarath]

Nicely put together mod. However, my attempts at editing the civ4buildinginfos.xml causes a CTD on loading with no error messages. I was trying to add prerequisites to the wonders to cut down on the wonder scramble at the beginning of the game and add a little more strategy.

It doesn't matter what I change. It could be the prerequisites, build cost, production bonus, lvl requirement...it makes no difference. As soon as I change the slightest little digit in throws a wobbler. Can you perhaps shed any light on this bMarnz?

I've even stripped the mod down and added only the files necessary to load up the buildings but still no joy.

So what happens when you turn on the modular loading?

modular loading is a new way to build mods, it allows modders to mix and match different mods more easily. To run a mod built this way, modular loading must be turned on.

I'm not sure what the problem is. Do you start all over each time you try? Try deleting the mod re-extract the zip files and then try a small modification.
Also when changing a tag make sure to follow correct layout. Sometimes when I change a tag I accidentally mess up the following. Double check all tags to make sure, they're all correct.

Hope this helps.

 

[Zimarath]

I found the source of the problem. It's whenever I turn on modular loading, regardless of whether I even have a modules folder. I turn off modular loading and the mod loads fine.

I guess I just have to wait for the next patch and try again.

 

[geminisama]

How do I download this whole mod? After dling part 1, it tells me I can't dl anymore. I saw strategyonly mention filefront, but I don't see any links. o.O

EDIT: Nvm. I just got the other part.

 

[bmarnz]

Try FileFront. http://www.filefront.com/

Thanx for sugestion. I have added an alternative download link from file front on the first post.

How do I enable Hitler?

 

[Grunz]

Hey Marn,

at first please excuse me, I'm realy bad in english, but I try to do my best.
I realy like your mod, me and a friend get used to play it day to day.
Yesterevening we had a problem, hm...hard to explain...

I got a quest, train 10 swordsmen... as reward all swordsmen got the promotion "Cityraider".
With emediate effect from this point loading a savegame,using my leader (Ostenaco),
causes a CtD.
Loading any other leader works, but Ostenaco crashes the game.
We tried to load using Ostenaco at another computer,but it caused a crash too.
Prior savegames work.
Maybe there is a problem with your order of unit promotions.

I'm glad you like the mod. I noticed a problem with promotions last night. I am working on a fix.

 

[bmarnz]

How do I enable Hitler?

There are two files to change:

MarnzMod/Assets/XML/Civilizations/CIV4CivilizationsInfos.xml
MarnzMod/Assets/Modules/Custom Units/Unique/German Teutonic/Teutonic_CIV4CivilizationsInfos.xml

Open both files and find Germany, then under Leaders find Hitler. Change <bLeaderAvailability>0</bLeaderAvailability> to <bLeaderAvailability>1</bLeaderAvailability>.

Hey cool, tx...
