[BtS MOD] Wolfshanze 1850-1920 Enhancement Mod v2.0

[ladiesman]

Hmm, well it works now, for some reason. I kept the old version in my mod folder under a different file name. When I deleted it, it worked fine.

It really makes no sense, but......it works now.

You're overloading your ram. You must be getting ungodly lag to get that error. How long does it pause between turns?

Anyway the only solution is to upgrade your system or play smaller maps.

Or reduce graphic settings (eg from high to medium).

Or reduce graphic settings (eg from high to medium).

I put all of the graphic settings on as low as possible and I still get the same crash; but a little bit less often.

I don't understand why this happening because I'm playing on my brand new computer. It's a Dell XPS 420 quad core, with 3600 RAM and a really good graphics card.

I am playing on a huge, New World map with 24 civilizations. But I'm still surprised that this is happening because my new computer is running everything else so fast.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance

probably because it doesn't matter how new or good your computer is and you didn't follow my advice and delete your cache it really isn't uncommon to have to go to this extra effort, esp. concerning BTS, but don't take my word on it... look it up. you don't even have to lower the graphics in-game

I'm actually having this same exact problem. I'm *SURE* it's nothing on my end.......i've installed this mod many many many times though the various releases.

This one is.....broken, somehow.

So it was on your end after-all...

I was sure this mod is pretty-darn stable... especially since I made very few changes over the last several versions which were also stable.

Anyways, glad you got it fixed and are up and running.

Anyone know what file (I presume a Python) controls the trigger for the "Airliner Crash" event?

I've never had this event before, but I finally got it, and the event triggered during WWI timeframe (canvas biplane era)... I thought it odd to have "Airliners" during WWI timeframe and wanted to push-back the event trigger to Air Superiority (WWII and later), but I can't seem to find where to change this... I could only find the text description, not the event trigger.

I'm sure this event is a default BtS left-over when "Flight" meant WWII and beyond, because there's no WWI-equivelant in default BtS... but since there is in the Wolfshanze Mod, I wanted to push this event back from "Flight" to "Air Superiority"... where can I find this event to change it? I looked in the usual suspect Python files, but couldn't find the event (unless it's called something else).

CvRandomEventInterface.py. It's in the \Python\EntryPoints\ folder.
JKP's event change the event a bit, requiring you to have an airport before it can happen. I find this actually works quite well with your separation of the airport and airbase, since the airport requires Air Superiority before it can be built, and this keeps the event from triggering during the canvas airplane era.

 

[Wolfshanze]

CvRandomEventInterface.py. It's in the \Python\EntryPoints\ folder.

I guess I should have mentioned that was the FIRST place I looked... and I looked both in my modified version and the default one to make sure I wasn't crazy... I can't find the event.

Obviously, this is a large file, so I did word searches on "Airline", "Crash", "Flight" and couldn't pull it up in that file... weird.

Maybe if someone else can find the trigger, at least tell me what words to search for or what event it's listed next to, cuz I can't find the darn thing.

 

[Xenomorph]

Open up CIV4EventTriggerInfos.xml and search for EVENTTRIGGER_AIRLINER_CRASH
At <BuildingsRequired> replace it with this

			<BuildingsRequired>
				<BuildingClass>BUILDINGCLASS_AIRPORT</BuildingClass>
			</BuildingsRequired>
			<iNumBuildings>1</iNumBuildings>

That should do it.

 

[Wolfshanze]

Thanks... that'll do it.

Thanks for your help. I missed your previous post.

I'm really hoping that deleting my cache is the answer; and it'd be great to not only be free from crashes to desktop, but to also be able to play on higher graphic settings.

But I can't seem to locate my cache. Is it a different path for Vista?

Thanks in advance

Yes Vista is slightly different but you should have been able to find it though.
<drive>\ Users\ <user name>\ AppData\ Local\ My Games\ Beyond the Sword\ cache

On the other location mentioned by Blitzkrieg I didnt find it either.

*AppData is a hidden directory, just must make it visible.

 

[Wolfshanze]

The cache is in two locations if I recall... I usually find one of mine empty and the other has stuff in it.

I found it -Thanks; still getting use to Vista.

Should I simply delete it each time I load a saved game? thanks again

You can hold the SHIFT key down when you start Civ4... does same thing.

Great great great mod. BUT CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE A MIRROR I simply cannot download from filefront.. It keeps saying access denied, download failed, no available servers etc... And when I do get in it downloads at like 7kb and I can't resume with a download manager

Sorry for shouting. But thanks

Yeah, I repeatedly had the same difficulty, but strangely I had no problem downloading it from this link in filefront:

http://hosted.filefront.com/wolfshanze

Note: Dont click on the mod's name, but click on the "Download now" link over at the far right of the screen.

Give it a try, it worked for me.

P.S. Great Mod BTW, it is now my standard version of CiV...for single player. I do wonder how stable it is for MP though. Anyone play MP using this mod?

Okay... I've created a mirror download site at MegaUpload...

You can reach the Mirror for Wolfshanze Mod v2.84 here.

I've included the mirror link on the CFC main download link page as well.

I'd like to make some minor tweaks to civics and play the Wolfshanze mod.

I've never attempted any modding before. What's the easiest way to do this? Thanks in advance

Don't know... I've never messed with the Civics, and all the Civics in the Wolfshanze Mod are the same as the civics in default BtS... so if you want to mod civics in the Wolfshanze Mod, it's no-different then modding the Civics in default BtS.

I imagine that you would change them in XML... or maybe Python... you'll be having a bigger problem if the civics is controlled in SDK... it all depends on what you want to change.
