[BTS Total Mod] Thomas' War

[Raider87]

Hey guys I'm having some trouble with the mod...

I downloaded it fine and unzipped it fine I put it in the MODS folder but when I go to load the mod it's giving me an XML load error:
it says element content is incomplete according to the DTD/Schema then it gives me another error: LoadXML call failed for BasicInfos/Civ4basicInfos.xml
current XML file is Art/CIV4ArtDefines_Feature.xml

Any help would be great thanks

Maybe I uploaded a bad file. Does this still happen even after adding the latest Thomas War patch. If so maybe I need to re-upload.

Also are you using Beyond the sword patched to at least 3.13.

Ya I've got the newest patches as well as the 3.1 Thomas War patch

I think there might be something wrong with my upload. I'll need to check.

I just downloaded the mod again (deleted the version on my computer) and it loads up fine.

It should be in your main BTS mods folder (default is something like firaxis games/sid meiers civilization 4/beyonds the sword/mods). I'm not sure about the my documents MODS folder (in fact still don't know what that's for as many mods don't work in there)

I must have had it in the wrong folder before but I got it in the BTS MODS folder now and it seemed as if it was going to work but now it's giving me a "GFC error: failed to initialize primary control theme" sorry I know this is a pain in the ass

It's no problem.

You're the second person to get the GFC error today which is weird cause I fixed what caused it a while ago. Anyway, the quickest way for you to fix it is to go in the main Thomas' War folder (Thomas' War) see the folder called Resources, delete that entire folder. Then go into Thomas' War/Assets/XML/Art find Civ4Artdefines_misc XML file and delete that file.

On a related note. Are other people getting the GFC error who just recently downloaded the mod? I fixed the problem a while ago so I don't know why it's popping up again.

Hey it works fine now! Thanks a lot man I appreciate the help, oh and great mod by the way one of the best I've seen

Edit: I spoke to soon lol... um the game works fine but when I'm playing every time I encounter a new civilization for the first time the game crashes =(

I'll redownload the patch and get the fix for the popups...Thanks.

Actually, I challenged myself yesterday, and merged Copernicus and Golden Dawn into Thomas War...I was able to get them both to work. I saw you already had some of the Copernicus stuff in there, but I added the python.

The only thing was that I was getting TWO astronomical signs every ten turns instead of one. I'm assuming the second one is the original that you had originally somewhere in the mod. I looked all over to see where the original was coming from...But I couldn't find it. It isn't that big a deal...only when you get a double.

Cancer is in the ascendent.

OK, I see the Golden Dawn thing in Patch A.

My bad.

My bad.

Opening up the text file of the Copernicus mod and finding the Cancer is in the ascendant text, etc. It should be called something like TXT_KEY_CRAB, anyway if you search for that in the python you can find where I originally listed it. The python in the mod should be identical to what was in my wonder so you can just delete one of them.

Actually, I think the golden dawn in thomas war is even called copernicus in the xml files. so if you just change the artdefines and the text files in the WONDERPACK game text it'd be in as copernicus.

Reinstalling the patch should reset everything you've done if you're looking to go back at any time.

Are you using the mod in any sort of custom assets folder because nothing in it is in modular format so you really shouldn't. Also, I would suggest using it from the main mods directory instead of the my games/MODS directory if you haven't already.

 

[Raider87]

It's inn the my games/BTS/MODS folder right now is that not the right place?

 

[tsentom1]

Try moving it to (program files)/firaxis games/sid meiers civilization iv/beyond the sword/mods and see if it works any better. I don't know if it will mind you, but I'm just thinking of other things you might try.

 

[tsentom1]

I know this is a pain to ask as it takes forever to download my mod, but if anyone has the time...

A few people in the past two days have sent me PMs saying the mod is not loading up correctly and I'm wondering if there is some problem with the upload. I've downloaded it and checked it on my computer (but that's not entirely accurate as things could work on my computer but not on others as I have files used to make the mod on mine). So I was wondering if someone minded re-downloading my mod and the latest patch and seeing if it works (loads up correctly, game starts) both before and after applying the patch so I can check to see if the uploaded file is fine or if I need to re-upload.

 

[Raider87]

Bingo that did it works perfectly now... thanks dude I appreciate all the help!

I'll take the bullet, Tsentom.

Mod loads along with saved games. All's good, I suppose.

By the way, I'd suggest changing the name in your signature and mod download section, being that the version you have for download is 3.1b, not 3.1a. Might cause some confusion, don'tcha know.

Hey, I love your mod and it would be awesome in the next update to see satellites or something close like rodsgods satellite. Something like a attack satellite, a spy Satellite and Economy Satellite would be awesome. Look at rodsgods model to see how to make them be higher above the ground. Then if there was something possible like a space station that would boost your economy. I would do it myself but i have no clue how to =). Can't wait for the next update.

Thomas' War already has a satellite type building that boosts commerce and hovers above your cities...

Thanks for taking the time to check. Yeah I just re uploaded like yesterday or the day before (which is why I was worried there was some problem when I suddenly got a few people getting the GFC error). forgot to change the title links, thanks.
