Hello!
I have the german version of C3 and C3C
I can´t start any mod, because i get a error message called "can´t find settler.ini" or something. Please help me!
I got the mod in the conquests/szenarios folder
Please help me!
 
Firstly, this is wrong forum. Questions of all kind go to main creation & customization forum.

Your problem is due to translators being complete idiots and translating folders and files as well as in-game text. Therefore the mod can't find any of the files it needs from the main game folders. Settler is the first thing most mods load from the main game folders and therefore the crash message is about missing settler graphics.

There is no (easy) solution to your problem other than getting an English version. The hard way is to rename loads of stuff, but I don't think you want to go there.

It's a real pity the translators messed this up. Especially as people don't know their localized civ3 won't run any mods based on the English version.
 
Thanks for the answer.
Would it help if I reinstalled the game and take english during the installation?
 
There is a tool some where in the utilites forum that translates mods from german too english

The problem with this is your vanilla civ...it is german-only and I don't think it is enough to install Conquests in English.In best case I guess you will get a crude language mix, in worst case it completly won't work.For playing English mods look for the described utility.

EDIT: The link...

There's something wicked and beautiful about German candor. Drifter posts:

I have the same problem as RJ, but it only happens when I use a Mod. I bought CivIII Complete, which has C3, Conquests and Play The World, and I've read in another thread that this version has ALL the latest updates (CanadaDry Moderator says so...) It's purchased in a single package, is all in English, and I can't play the mods they provide because every time I meet another Civ in the game a "FILE NOT FOUND" error stops the game!
