Community Patch - How To Install

[AbsintheRed]

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.

I don't mind it being tied to research agreements.
Seriously nerfing them, and making them a default option in the games would be perfectly fine for me. For now.
Maybe something along the lines, that it gives a much smaller research boost to both civs for 45 turns.
The bonus could be something like 1/10 of the research both you and your partner have
((x+y)/10 for both civs, so they get the same amount of boost in beakers, but not in %, and it depends on both their research)

Hey Gazebo, will you be re-posting instructions for installing the mods on Mac?

You can't use this on a Mac, unfortunately. You'll need to use boot camp or parallels with windows to use a dll.

I have an idea / question. Maybe we could give these mods numbers so they appear in right order after launching game? I know that's not a big deal but it'd be little faster to start new game and quite easier to check if all mods are installed.

I thought about that, however not everyone uses all of the mods, so the numbers wouldn't always be in sequence.

How to install H&P and EUI in order to work together?

 

[gaconff]

Hi gazebo,

Can you please take a look at More Luxuries? Since the new CBP patch, More luxuries (v 1.55) mess up the whole map: no (or only wheat) resource show on map, neither nor city states with More luxuries and its compatible patch enabled. Disable them and the game seem to be fine again

Thanks

Hello Mr. Gazebo, thanks for creating this awesome mod.. really made the game more interesting.
And like in Gaconff's earlier post, i do experience problems with the More luxuries mod, would the problem in the order in which we activate the mods or another posible problem with my game instalation? otherwise if there was problem with the mod itself if there were more people reporting this problem. and i also did almost everything to assure that the game is and not using any conflicting mods and so on.
Any reply would be most helpfull .

 

[Gazebo]

Did you clear your cache? I see no problems with more luxuries.

G

 

[gutsyrabbit]

I did everything i could think of, clearing cache, reinstalling mods, reinstalling the game.. the only thing i haven't tried is reinstalling the operating system or trying to use more luxuries whitout any other modes, to see in which mode the issue is. i will make a reply shortly.

 

[gutsyrabbit]

I tested the mods seperately to see where the problem might be.. i tested the More luxuries alone and it worked, after that i did with CP+more luxuries, it worked also, then with CBP+compat mod added too it didn't work. I coudn't see any luxuries or any resources on the map. I made another account and ran the same things again.. and WTH... now everything works fine, .. i deleted the whole game+cache before reinstalling it to make these tests. so the conclusion is that the game might have other places where it stores it's cache , other than the : My Games/Civ5/modes ...

Well, thanks for the help Mr. Gazebo.. and now it's time for a no sleep night with Civ to relax after a hard week at work.
Edit: it was too good to be true, the mod doesn't work again.. if you ever find the solution luckfully here's my specs: i use communitas map, huge, deity level, 14 players and 15 city-states, abundant resources, and as for what mods , are all the compatible mods listed on the install page, except for the plague mod and EUI.
Have good night, it's too late for me to test further , i will try again tomorrow.

It might be a problem with the abundant resource setting. To be clear, the 'cache' is the collection of files in the my documents/my games/civ 5/cache folder. You might try posting in the More Luxuries forum, as I haven't had this problem, and it sounds like Barathor has recently updated his mod.

I finally found the problem. I tried with the Terra map, and the mod works, but doesn't work with Communitas map, mainly because communitas map has the abundance resource setting, and barathor's mod has an resource distribution algorithm also. They might conflict with each other. So far as i tested only the Earth map works since it is the only one that doesn't have a resource abundance setting.. and the mod's version is v155, do you have a higher one?

 

[gaconff]

Yes, just like Gutsy said. Out of 10 tries, there would be one that the resource would appear and only on the one land mass map type (sorry I'm not good with the technical term) but still, no ancient runes, no city states.

I have v155 also, do you have other version (lower, higher) Gazebo?

Just to reconfirm - you were using the Communitas map which is incorporated in CBP, not the separate mod, which you can download from steam or from its own CivFanatics thread, right? The stand-alone version could be causing problems even if it is not activated. If you have a Communitas folder in the MODs folder, remove it and also check that you are not subscribed to it in Steam.

 

[gutsyrabbit]

Yes i am using the communitas map incorporated into CBP, but barathor's mod only works with the Earth map that is included in barathor's mod. Not even the standard maps won't work.
