CIV Gold BTS - Technical Support

CHEESE! said:
One bug I found is in the team colours for the Toltecs and Romanians. It said they were fixed in patch 4.2, but I find them still to have no colours. How do I alter this?

5.0 is coming Tuesday. You may just want to wait. :)

In the meantime, I'll go check those two immediately.

I'm in the middle of a 4.0 game, will it still play if I install 5.0?

Good question. I don't think it will, but you could change the install folder from CIV Gold to CIV Gold 5, and you'll be fine (essentially having two versions available).

...or wait until your done this game. :)
 
Well, I personally enjoy 90% of all the civs in CIV Gold 5.0, but some civilizations keep appearing over and over, while some I have yet to see even once by random selection. Civs like the Maori appear EVERY OTHER GAME :eek: . So, I was wondering, is there some form of percentage selection that the game goes by, or do I just have horrible luck? Is there some way I can disable certain civs?

No idea. I don't think there is any hard and fast rule about what civs end up appearing, although I remember playing CIV Gold 1.0-2.0 and I seemed to get the Celts every time.

You can disable a civ by going into the "Civname"_CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml and changing the AI Playable and Playable values from "1" to "0". They will still appear in the pedia but won't be playable.

I've been getting error messages when I try to load the mod (the 'send error report' kind). This happens while it tries to load the uncached XML. Usually the mod loads perfectly, but I sometimes get these errors. What could be causing them?

I got this once in a while during testing, but I thought I had isolated it to the Kazakh file (which was fixed). It's possible that it was simply a random condition (thought I doubt it).

I would look at memory issues first. Beyond that, I couldn't say unless the error is reported by other users and we can find a common thread.
 
Got 4 gig of ram for my computer now, but I still sometimes get prompts to close the program such as 'FATAL ERROR Bad memory allocation". This happens when I try to start a new game after playing another one (with 18 civs on a largeish map). Could it be a problem with the program itself?
 
Civ does have memory leak issues. Two large maps with all the extra stuff that this mod requires, and 18 civs...yeah, I could see that being a problem, even with 4GB of RAM (and Vista takes out about 0.5-1GB of that anyway, and XP can't handle 4GB). I wouldn't expect it to be a problem with the mod per se, but simply that the mod isn't more efficient than regular Civ with respect to memory allocation.
 
I recently downloaded Blue Marble and BUG, both installed in CustomAssets.....whenever I try to load CIV Gold, some of the BUG bonuses disappear(Like the icons on the bottom screen and the tech bar) and Blue Marble won't load at all......

These are my settings for the relevant(I believe) settings on CIV Gold.ini and CivilizationIV.ini:

; Modular XML Loading
ModularLoading = 1


; Custom Art from user folder is not loaded
NoCustomArt = 0

; Custom XML and Python from user folder are not loaded
NoCustomAssets = 0


Is there anything wrong with these settings? I checked the front page post regarding blue marble, but I'm not sure if it's still relevant, because it didn't seem to work for me. :(

EDIT: Actually, whenever I load CIV Gold, all the BUG filters turn bright pink and the tech progress bar gets a pink background. Any idea what this could be?
 
I had the issue with pink bars and icons before I changed this setting:

; Custom Art from user folder is not loaded
NoCustomArt = 0

Since you seem to have that one fixed I have no idea why the art doesn't load.
 
i have tried both ver 4 and 5 in neither of them can i see the new civs or leaders. it id in the mods folder of bts so what do i do?
 
Hi,

I had a large amount of words forming questions, but I have found a answer to to major one so no more questions at this time;)
 
Hey, I'm having the same prob as superluke. I've installed both civ gold 4 & 5 and made sure they're in the right folder (C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\), but none of the new civs, leaders, etc. are not present when the game loads and when i go and load up a mod, either of the gold versions are not present.

Can anyone help?
Thanks
 
I've installed the mod but when I go to run it I get kicked to the desktop. I don't get any indication of the game working. If I look at the task manager I can see BtS running but not in the applications tab. If I try to load the mod 3 or 4 times it eventually works however it suddenly starts to run 3 or 4 games of BtS at once. Has this happened to anyone else? Does it even make sense? ;)
 
Whenever I click 'exit to main menu' Civ Gold crashes. Any help?
 
(accedental double post. please ignore this message. im sorry i diddnt mean to double post i just cant figure out how to delete this post)
