Are you sure there aren't files left before the clone? Another thing you should have tried first is deleting the entire .git folder.
Are you sure the mod is in the right directory? It belongs in Beyond the Sword/Mods/, not My Documents/Beyond the Sword/Mods/Hi, I love the mod and really want to get it working on my laptop, it uses windows 10 and I am using steam. I've downloaded the version 1.16 and have run the installer with no problem while my civ bts build is 3.19 and i have followed the instructions to resore to the original version of the game on steam. However, when I run the RFC Dawn of Civilization short-cut there is an error message which reads- ' Mods\RFC\ is an invalid mod directory, ignoring ' and when I launch bts and attempt to launch the mod this way its nowhere to be found. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
I thought the errors appeared when you cloned the repository?Well I created a new folder from scratch. So in theory any files in the folder are only those that were taken through the cloning, right? I get that message when trying to pull the map branch. I was wondering if the message didn't mean that there was a problem with the origin folder instead (since I made zero changes before clicking pull on the map branch).
No, that sounds right. Can you tell me what the mod directory is named?Thanks for the quick reply!
the directory is= C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword\Beyond the Sword\Mods
Is this correct? Because I'm still having issues with this directory and its definitely not in my documents
Also in this RFC DoC folder there is a folder called private maps instead to public maps which is what is in other mod folders, not sure if that is normal or not.
There is another location here where the maps folder is named public maps- C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword\Mods
Ah, that makes more sense. Just some clarification on the terminology:Oh... Sorry, I'm not super familiar with the terminology (nor with git, at all), so I might have explained things poorly or incorrectly. I'll try to explain again.
I have two folders of the mod. One is the 1.16 which I don't edit and which I use to play. Another folder is the one which I use to check out the map developments. So a couple of days ago I was checking those map changes and it was all good and perfect, so that folder used to work well.
Now, at one point I wanted to open the new editor for the city name maps, and when I entered "from MapUtils import *" in the python console, it told me the MapUtils function did not exist. I figured I needed to update my folder to get it. So I tried a pull request (although, I have no idea what I clicked on initially, because the thing is very confusing to me. So I tried fetch, pull, switch/check out, etc., hoping one would work to update my game (Only later I understood that I wanted the pull function, after finding an "explain it like I'm five" guide to git). In any case, at some point I was pulling the map branch, and got the initial error message (that there was another git process running). I tried deleting several files, including the index one, but nothing worked.
So I figured I messed up my folder because of clicking everywhere. No problem. I right clicked on the desktop and made a new folder using the clone function. Since the default option that comes up there is the develop branch, I made a pull to the map branch. It was at this point that I got this long message I pasted here earlier, telling me of these conflicting files. I thought that, since I had made no changes at all to my folder and the first thing I did with this new copy of the mod was to make the pull request, perhaps the problem (this time) was in the original folder that I'm cloning from.
Edit: Never mind, I finally managed it to work. I clicked on switch check out and then scrolled down to the map branch... and it worked. Right before trying that I tried again with the pull function, but I got the same error message that I pasted here before about the long list of conflict files
It's very common if not.![]()
Is that supposed to happen?
The turks lost a city, collapsed, and then collapsed to nothing. I don't know much about this area of the code, is the collapse message only for AI collapses to core, or all forms of collapse, including collapse to nothing?What exactly is the issue?
