CIV Gold!

Since the 1.61 patch, mods made in English require the English version of the game. Why? I have no idea. I've included French entries for everything in Gold but they won't show on a French install. Change the game language to English and they should work. Sorry for the inconvenience but you can ask Firaxis about this.

I think I can say a word on this language problem - althrough I don't know, is the problem I am talking about is the same one. Just excuse my English - it is really bad when I start explaining minor technicalities like this one :).

I loaded CivGold in my Russian version, while setting "language=1" (English, while "language=0" is Russian) in my Config file. I noticed that I have no text, except for some names (I had the Austrian Empire text for example). When I looked at the XML text files, I noticed, that the text file with the Austrian text (GameTextInfos_Gold1.xml or something like that) always has all the language tags, e.g.

<TEXT>
<Tag>TXT_KEY_CIV_AUSTRIA_DESC</Tag>
<English>Austrian Empire</English>
<French>Austrian Empire</French>
<German>Austrian Empire</German>
<Italian>Austrian Empire</Italian>
<Spanish>Austrian Empire</Spanish>
</TEXT>

However, all other text files sometimes have only the English tag, like:

<TEXT>
<Tag>TXT_KEY_UNIT_PORTUGAL_CARRACK</Tag>
<English>Carrack</English>
</TEXT>

In my Russian version, the Russian translation comes before the English one in the original Warlords files, like:

<TEXT>
<Tag>TXT_KEY_UNIT_SWORDSMAN</Tag>
<Russian>&#1052;&#1077;&#1095;&#1085;&#1080;&#1082;</Russian>
<English>Swordsman</English>
</TEXT>

So, by setting "Language=1" in the Config file, I am ordering the game to use the second tag in all the XML files. But in things like

<TEXT>
<Tag>TXT_KEY_UNIT_PORTUGAL_CARRACK</Tag>
<English>Carrack</English>
</TEXT>

there is no second tag at all, which confuses the game completely and it decides to skip all the text in the XML file.

If I set "Language=0" in my Config file, I command the game to use first tags, so I get a whopping Russian-English mix.

So, I suggest you edit the text files so that every item has all the language tags, like:

<TEXT>
<Tag>TXT_KEY_UNIT_PORTUGAL_CARRACK</Tag>
<English>Carrack</English>
<French>Carrack</French>
<German>Carrack</German>
<Italian>Carrack</Italian>
<Spanish>Carrack</Spanish>
</TEXT>

That will surely help me with my problem, and it might solve the language problems of other people here...
 
Hey, I'm really excited about this, and I want to try it out, but it won't work! :cry:

I've got it in the "Mods" folder, and when I go to "Advanced" and then "Load a Mod" form the Civ4 Main Menu, it IS on the list. Then, I click on it, and Civ restarts and everything, but nothing has changed! There aren't any new civs or leaders! :confused:

Please if someone can help, I REALLY want to play this! :sad:

what i have been doing is:
1) download to desktop
2) extract to desktop
3) drag folder to your firaxisgames/civ4/warlords/mods folder

that seems to make all of them work for me (and makes it easier for me to combine and modify the mods)

thanks for all your hard work, everyone, on all of these mods

someday, if i ever get everything combined, the way i want it, i'll post it somewhere, but the file is huge, and i lost large chunks at different times
 
Hi Could someone replace the Pakistani flag from light green to dark green jus like the real flag in the new Civ Gold patch please.

I'll look into it. The problem is that those colours are also used for borders. As such, they need to be unique to prevent the borders from overlapping. That's why they have a lighter green than they would normally have. I'll see if I can maybe switch it with a darker green.
 
Thanks. I searched for Pakistan in the forum and found Broken Legion's CIS MOD in which he has added pakistan. If you could use the same flag as he did it'd be great im pasting the link to the screenshot let me knw wat u can do.

I've adapted a Huge map of Europe that Iuvavus map made for me to play the Civ Gold 3 mod. Playable Civs are England, Netherlands, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany (Prussia), Rome (Italian States), Austria, Ottoman, Sweden, Poland and Russia. I'll post it in the Project Dev forum.
 
... We knew Ataturk was off (he's not the only one), but at this point there are only so many "bases" to build from. We can make changes as we go, but we need suggestions.

In other words, what model works best for Ataturk and how could we enhance it to better fit? Maybe Tokugawa is closest in the face, but then you have the komono and hair. I dunno. We're always open to suggestions...
Washington or Napoleon would be much better "bases" to build Ataturk upon. They are all generals and revolutionaries after all, and the uniform would not look worse than the current tunic. I mentioned this before, but it's perhaps a better time to remind now that his name is spelled with a single "t" as in ATATURK insead of ATTATURK.

I actually made a new Ataturk a while back and will be including him in 4.0. It's based on FDR, but I think it works well - added Churchill's bowler + appropriate mustache.

It may not be 100% but I think it's an improvement over our original.

The spelling has been corrected as well.
 
hey jus wanna ask u whether the civ gold v4.0 will be releasing before BTS because once BTS is out ppl will be addicted to that 4 a while plus u'll have to create a new mod of civ gold for BTS!

That was the plan, but dammit if real life hasn't gotten in the way.

We're still going to finish 4.0 for Warlords, then move right in to a BTS version.
 
will civ gold 4.0 for warlords be able to run with the updated (patched) version of warlords?

Not sure, exactly. I'll have to see what the changes are. To be honest, I was really ticked off with that patch - not because it's unnecessary, of course, just because it was such a hassle to make the 2.08 changes, and time is running short.

We'll do out best.
 
quick question - around when do you think a BtS version could be out? Thanksgiving? Christmas? the New Year?

when Civ5 comes out? :joke:

:)

There are some things about BtS (most notably the plug-n-play functionality) that may make conversion quite easy. But until I get my copy, I won't really know.
 
^sounds good.

also - has Impaler been on in the last few days? i sent him a PM but he hasn't replied yet.
