Caveman 2 Cosmos

hey so i had a game using the SVN version from march and then i updated today and it is telling me that i cant open the save file bc it is missing barrel cactus feature

That was fixed about a week or so ago, just do an update of your SVN copy.

Not true. I have figured out a way of breaking all saves when we go to the next freeze but have not put the barrel cactus back. If I get time with all the planned power outages over the next few days I will put it back in. However you wont be able to tell the difference between barrel cactus and peyote.

But the barrel cactus and other terrain features (coconuts, dates, prickly pears, etc) will eventually all be taken out right? Even if it breaks the saves.

Step 1. Move them to a module. Still working on this and you can't turn the module off yet.

Step 2. Change them so that they still work in save games but don't appear on maps.

Step 3. Break everyone's saves if they are playing a save from before the v24 freeze by removing them all at once OR see if Koshling or AIAndy can figure out a way of continuing a save game if features or improvements are removed.

# 3 sounds about right.

Cheers

Make sure you have updated Civ4 Complete to 3.19

Yes, copy to your BTS Mods..

Please let me know when you get it working,

By the way, Welcome to CFC, and thank you for trying this Great Mod!
 
It does look like that, i have tried 'check for updates' on the main menu on he game, gave me 'Patch_319', i selected to install it, and it says that the patch was successfully downloaded, and that i was to close the game to install it, i selected 'ok' and now nothing is happening, is it supposed to do that or am i just daft? :p

I know you said you got it to work, but for future reference (especially for those that don't have "Complete") the automatic update doesn't work and you have to do it manually (both manual download and manual install). This is true whether or not you have admin rights.
 
I put the file into the MODS folder and i loaded the mod and it says that it is loaded but i am not getting the C2C main menu or options just the normal BTS one with the BTS options. I am not very computer savvy. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Look at post 5191, just above your post, it shows where its supposed to go, and btw

I have a similar problem: I have extracted the mod into the indicated directory, but when I load it, nothing happens. Civ4.exe is still running though, and I have to kill the process to close it, not quite a CTD but might as well be considered one. It just hangs up like that every time, not sure why.

Some mods take a long time to load (eg, ROM takes about 30 minutes for me, but C2C and AND which are based on ROM load FAR faster). As long as civ4.exe is running, the mod should eventually load. This mod shouldn't be taking that long, however, as the coding is better than ROM (unless you have a very sub-par computer).

Well i always run Civ 4 BTS under Admin Rights.

Remember, that the very first time you load C2C it will take a bit longer. For me it takes around 6 minutes to load the first time, and 3.5 minutes after that, and i have a 3 year old laptop (win 7 x64 bit, 4gb Ram, 2.1 GHz duo-processor).

Also my secret is i have my computer uber-optomized with only 4 startup programs, defragmentation at night every 3 days, my chorme has plugins (WOT, Adblock,Ghostery, Do Not Track) and using Advanced System Care "Deep Clean" almost daily.
 
Alright, so I loaded the mod and got up to do something else for a while. Sure enough, I come back and it's loaded, great!

Now it CTDs while generating a new game without any error, though I believe this sort of question should be in Bugs and Crashes. I did look through that thread and found no answers though.

I had read somewhere that it only works properly under certain game conditions, such as map and speed, but couldn't find any suggestions beyond a recommendation to play on slower speeds than normal. Could these things be the problem? I'd be inclined to experiment, but the load times make trial-and-crashing impractical.
