CIV Gold!

[Wyz_sub10]

Just a quick update:

I'll be working on a patch this week to address some errors and maybe some balance issues. I may address some of the LH replacements while I'm at it - perhaps even add one or two. Really, it all depends on how much time I have.

Are you packing the art into FPK?

Are you packing the art into FPK?

I'd like to but I'm still a bit confused. The tutorials I read seem to assume the art is in one place. In Gold, there is art in every separate civ and leader folder (all in sub folders).

So I'm unsure as to weather I need to move all the art to one location for paking, then repath all the XML to reflect the move.

Ekmek - will definitely get the new Ataturk.

no you dont need to move the folders at all it will compress in folders too. just make sure you exclude the xml, sound files, and other non art stuff.

So basically - humour me here - I add all the files, save the xml. Delete the files I've added, and place the resulting PAK in the main Assets folder...?

yeah once you pak all the art files you can delete all the other ones. that will probably be painful unless you broke them into separate art and xml like firaxis did. which IIR you didnt

maybe avain can help

...save the xml, the music files, movies, etc. etc., all files that are not unitart or leaderhead art related should not be packed.

 

[Wyz_sub10]

Okay - crystal clear. Thanks guys!

It will be a bit painful because I'll need to delete the art folder by folder...all 700 or so of them.

I'd suggest adding JARM, if I haven't yet.
It's a shame having so many new civilizations, only to end up with them all being Jewish, Christian, Muslim, etc.

I agree. There are a few things I'd like to do but what I don't want to do is require someone to have a third-party mod in order to use the civs in Gold individually or for another mod. Know what I mean? That is true to some extent now because I have Geomodder's city sets, but I don't want to add too much.

Having said that...

I'd like to release an add-on - call it "CIV Gold Enhanced" or something - and have the extra religions, maybe better ethnic unit sets, maybe some added wonders.

If I could find someone willing to help me do this, I'd be all for it.

If u need I'll help in balancing the UU-s and UB-s for the civs based on Mojoqmeyvam comments...
Btw I gladly help in anything else, just not sure I'll be able to. So rather:
I try to help in anything else if it is needed

You can search for all dds, nif, kfm and kf files in all folders, and then delete them at once.

Sheesh, thanks!! Forgot about that. Sometimes I think too hard.

 

[Agent327]

It's a known problem...

If you could take the lead in doing this, that would be great. Go through the files Mojo uploaded and make your suggested changes, Highlight the changes in RED so I can see what's been changed, then upload them here.

That would be a huge help!

 

[AbsintheRed]

Allright, back in town, so I'm on this soon ,)

 

[Wyz_sub10]

Awesome!

Once you've been able to do this, I'll add the new Ataturk and tend to some of the other bugs. Rockinroger's done some amazing work getting an FPK together, so that will probably be a separate option.

Not only a new Ataturk. by the end of the week there will be a new Henrique the Navigator for Portugal, and maybe a shaded version of Gustav Vasa, so you should check my thread for updates. Also, (I don't promise it'll be in a few days, but who knows...) I might give you a new version of Vercingetorix for the Celts (it's half-done already).

Nice job, Rockinroger! Wyz, will there be any other additions?
