Civilization 4 Editor: Beyond the sword

[stevo32]

@Textpatriate - Make sure the Playercolorinfos.xml is in the folder (You Mod Name)\assets\xml\interface\
and it should work

@CivalGanjaman - That would be great, I'll send you my source code as well if you so wish.

When it ask to copy all of my CIV 4 BTS .xml files, I it okay. THen it shows the error that it could get it from my D drive. I don't even have a D drive on my computer.

Here's the detail box:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

How can I get it to the right spot?

 

[stevo32]

Have you changed the text file in the installation folder?

 

[dsines]

I was getting a similar error. It looks like the program was looking for a mod called Star Wars. I copied another civ mod and renamed it star wars and everything worked like a champ after that.

 

[stevo32]

Where did this happen?

I can't seem to see where that problem might be.

 

[the1sean]

This editor is really cool!

 

[IA Commander]

Is this mod dead?


I'm having trouble with the drive D: path error. I can get past all of the create mod dialog boxes but when I get to the create civilization button it tries to access a drive D path and the program fails. I've been trying to find an editor like this ever since Civ 4 came out.

I cannot figure out a way to get around it other than to install it onto my older hard drive which I do not want to do. I have already altered the path and tried uninstalling it, reinstalling it, even re-downloading it, nothing. Can anyone help me?

 

[stevo32]

Sorry, might be a bug. I will upload a new version in the next few days, I'll PM you. Hopefully I'll fix it. But for now, have you changed the text file in the install folder. I am working to get rid of that and make it more intuative.

 

[IA Commander]

Yep, modifying that enables me to get past the create mod screens, but when I click on add a new civ. The program tries to look in the D drive for the installation directory. Mine is on the C drive.

 

[stevo32]

I must apologise. I have been trying to do an overhaul to make it easier to program, but I will have a version hopefully tonight but definitly by the end of the week.

 

[IA Commander]

Um, I hate to be a bother but have you been able to figure out why it keeps on trying to find my civ4 files on the D drive? Can you add an option to allow us to browse the folder where our civ4 installation is located? The notepad file doesn't work for the add a new civ menu.

Yep, modifying that enables me to get past the create mod screens, but when I click on add a new civ. The program tries to look in the D drive for the installation directory. Mine is on the C drive.

Goto the editors install directory change the path in CivFolder.txt, Simples.

 

[esalkin]

I get the following error after I fix the pointer file. If you send me the source, I'll debug the error.

[stevo32]
