Community Patch - How To Install

[Hawawaa]

Hey Gazebo, to help make it easier for new folk trying to install the mods add this below-

"Install the CBP version of EUI as would normally-

Spoiler :

Requires manual install:
make sure your game is up to date at version 1.0.3.144 or later (EUI DLC is incompatible with older game versions)
exit the game (make sure Civ V is NOT running)
download the file from http://forums.civfanatics.com/downlo...=file&id=21929
open the game's DLC folder:
on a PC usually it's C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\sid meier's civilization v\assets\DLC (replace C: by whatever drive and/or directory where Steam is installed)
on a MAC (thanks AlanH) it's in the Civ5 application package at Civilization V.app/Contents/Home/assets/DLC
You have to right click the app icon and select Show package contents. The application package location is EITHER:
in case of MAC Steam installation: /Users/<user_name>/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Sid Meier's Civilization V/Civilization V.app
in case of MAC AppStore installation: /Applications/Civilization V Campaign Edition.app
remove any previous version of EUI DLC (delete the entire UI_bc1 folder if one already exists, don't just overwrite)
extract from the downloaded zip and copy the UI_bc1 folder to the game's DLC folder. ONLY if your OS is Linux, all of these files / folders must be renamed to lower case equivalent (mjkoo wrote a script to do that)
EUI DLC is modular: if there are things you don't like or need or which conflict with mods you want to use (check the "mods compatibility" spoiler below), you can disable that part by removing the corresponding subfolder from the UI_bc1 folder. Check the feature list above to determine which module includes which feature to be disabled. Please note that EUI DLC will break if its Art* or Core folder are removed.
in the game menu - options - interface options - UNcheck "single player score list" if you want to use the civilization ribbon and bundled notifications

in the game menu - options - game options - set the desired delays (or no delay) for the map plot mouse over help / tooltips to appear using the big horizontal sliders (there are now 2 delays - basic and detailed plot help)
in the game menu - options - game options - check if the "No Basic Tooltip Help" option matches the level of mouse over info desired (this has more effects than before)
in the game menu - options - game options - check whether you want a clock displayed on the top panel
silent install: althought this is a DLC, it will not appear in the game's DLC menu, because it does not have a Firaxis Key. This package is a DLC because I could not get things to work as I wanted as a mod (legal screens, map highlights), and it works in multiplayer and you can still earn achievements... The main drawback is that EUI DLC's folder needs to be moved manually in/out of the game's DLC folder to enable/disable

Install the EUI Compatibility mod in your Civ 5 MODS folder."

Less jumping back and fourth between posts would help make life easier for people.

Having a good game with the Aztecs. Culture king and fighting for 1st spot & no wonky ai or bugs to report yet.

One inaccuracy - in EUI compatibility files README there is:

WHEN INSTALLING: Make sure to drag the EUI_tooltips file from this Mod's main directory into the following folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\Assets\DLC\eui_v1_25b\UI_bc1\Core

But when you install EUI you have to put only UI_bc1 in DLC folder, not eui_v1_25b so you can't install EUI compatibility files properly.

Decided to come back to Civ5 after a hiatus of almost a year so. Download the community patch and community balance patch and install as directed. When I try to launch the game however, I get this error message for the Community patch:
"This mod is not compatible with your version of the game".

I have both the expansion packs and most of the DLC. Only problem I can see is that this is the mac version of the game? I've never had problems with that before though.

My game version number is 1.0.3.279 (125525).

Mac's can't use DLL mods. I have a Mac and use Parallels to run this Mod.

 

[jbmoll]

Of course. That should have been obvious. What do you mean by Parallels and how can I use it?

Google is your friend!

It's a virtual machine software for Mac that lets you run Windows.

I was wondering if this set of mods is compatible with the YNAEMP (Giant Earth) custom game? When I attempted to start the custom game, CIV crashed. After testing which mods caused the crash it seems to be tied with the Community Patch itself. It seems to work fine with the map, just not when I use it as a custom game.

"Palace of Culture and Science" grants one vote for every Research Agreement (CSD).
Should I enable Research Agreements in the game setup menu (Civ4DF)?

I play with techtrading disabled and research agreements activated. It is up to you

No, it's not really up to you, because if research agreements are not activated, there is no real use of the Palace of Culture and Science national wonder.
This makes Order very imbalanced compared to Freedom and Autocracy, especially if you are going to a Diplomatic Victory.
I think it would be way better to nerf (and nerf hard) the scientific agreements, and make them activated by default.

The question was:

And since that's not something I can force on people I gave a suggestion.
Also considering the freedom NW gives you votes for friendships and that you actually need friendships to sign researchagreements they are already kinda unbalanced .


Also all ideologies are more or less suitied for diplovictory, in the basegame if I remember correctly order had nothing boosting diplovictory.

While that's true, it would still be a serious improvement.
Right now Order has a huge disadvantage in Diplo Victory, if you follow the default settings.
It can't be the case when the whole mod's most important goal is balance.

 

[GaxxD]

I've no idea why, but I can't get new policies and tech tree to work. Obviously I'm running latest version, in english, I've reinstalled my game, checked with notepad++ the mod itself and it's all on (although since I haven't played with the files since downloading them it would be strange, if something wasn't on default). I've tried both with EUI and without it, I've also removed all other mods. Any ideas what could be causing the issue?

So what would make a decent replacement-trigger then? A vote for every other Order-civ? That would still (most likely) be somewhat weaker than one vote for every friendship.

Did you clear your cache and moduserdata folders? (default response )
I'm not going to ask if you installed the mods correctly because that isn't really an option anymore, but did you download all the files needed?

I've even removed the entire Civ folder from my documents and ran integrity files scan. Also I've downloaded only Community patch and balance patch, just to make sure nothing else breaks it, and I still can't see new policy nor tech trees Q_Q

You realize that there are like a few other mods that are required by default if you don't specifically uninstall them, right?

I'm not really sure what do you mean by that. MODS folder by default is empty, unless you mean DLCs? Those I haven't moved, and besides Steam auto installs them.

I meant that you used to need the Civ 4 diplomacy and City State diplomacy mods for the community patch to work, but that doesn't seem to be mentioned in the installationguide anymore, so it might have been removed.

Which means my issue still isn't solved. Guess the only thing left for me is to reinstall everything again, this time clearing registry, only that I've no idea how that could help.

You're not running a mac or a non-english verson of the game or something like that?

Perhaps a bit more information would be helpful. Can you upload your database and lua.logs to the bug reports thread? This is the 'how to install' thread, which isn't the place for bug crushing.

Ah well, I considered it an issue with installation, not a bug, hence why I posted here. I'm currently redownloading the game yet again, and if there's still an issue I'll post on the bugs thread.
