Community Patch - Modpack (Multiplayer Compatible)

[popalfanatic]

Can we get an updated version of this?

I'm confused. Is this download necessary to play multiplayer? Is it even possible to play the community balance patch in multiplayer? Is this MP modpack thing really outdated or something?

This download is indeed needed, if you want to play multiplayer. The latest MP version is 5/21 and can be found here. Lynnes will create similar modpack of the latest version once he has more time. He stated few weeks ago that he has been very busy.

So a friend and myself are trying to play this, but we each spawn on different maps.

We downloaded the same file, and are trying to play on the Communitas map.

We tried clearing our Cache folder, but no luck.

What are we doing wrong?

Communitas map doesn't sync starts between players, leading to that happening. Can be fixed by starting the game, having host save the game and then rehosting.

Ah, good to know. I am assuming it takes the host's (my) map, then? So whatever I see for my teammate's (human player) land will be what they see upon saving/rehosting the game?

Hello.

Yesterday I've been trying to get the CommunityPatch only modpack to work (probably does, IIRC it gave us the features like Barbarian GGs and GAs to be ticked in the game setup screen, but I could be mixing things up with the full version), however it does not work together with EUI properly. I am using CommunityPatch only + C4DF 3/9 and Enhanced User Interface v1.28g.

The problem is the same as Lapoux's on this posts page 31.

(Screenshots are from a SP quick test, but same applies to MP)

The top panel (resources, happiness etc.) does not work as it should in EUI and the city screen is also messed up (although it can be fixed by the solution given on page 31).

This is with the community patch.

This is vanilla EUI.

I'm really not sure what exactly I am missing, really want to try it out but EUI is so amazing.

Yeah, the one that rehosts it is the version that is there upon reload.

So... am I understanding this right? In order to play the Community Patch Multiplayer, this is 100% needed (tried manually to set it up, to many docs with the same name to work from what I could tell...) is to use Vox Populi version 1.3.9, or up to 5.21 if I'm willing to risk a more unstable experience?

What exactly is the problem here? Just that it looks different to vanilla EUI or is it preventing you from doing something?

 

[schnerbst]

Is there a reason why this cannot be used in local MP? The OP states more than once this is for hotseat and internet MP. What about local/LAN games?

Hi guys,

As Lynnes does not seem to be available atm, the version available here is several months old.

To play with the CBP in MP you need this specific version which goes in the DLC folder. Using the normal "MOD" version is not going to work in MP.

We will see if Lynnes can update the DLC to the actual version, as I'm not familiar enough with the process to try it myself.

AFAIK it's just visually different (missing features from EUI) if you fix the city screen.

Gazebo will be putting together the DLC version from now on. See his post in the 15-07 Version thread.

Is it possible to add more players to map? In vanilla you could add those players to Civ5Worlds.xml but in this that doesn't work.

So, ever since I got this, and started playing it with my friend. We've noticed something strange.

Every time, we start near a coast. Surrounded by forests and jungle. Often with either tundra or desert around us.

what's up with that?

 

[DarthZombie]

Might be just a coincidence, but the answer really lies with the map script you use and whether or not the "always start on coast" option is toggled on or off.

 

[Tempestfury]

I don't think so, I haven't edited the map script at all. I don't know how to check through...

 

[Finarvi]

I believe, that it also highly depends on your starting civs... Which civs were you playing?

Small request - would you mind not putting your text in blue? Basic black is fine. It is very difficult to read (and doesn't help your post's visibility, aside from making me not want to read it).

Thanks!
