So does that mean that a new version is coming out soon? :confused:

blizzrd · Jul 1, 2008

Maybe there is a new version of RFC coming soon, I don't know. But if you are still using 1.180, you are not using the most up-to-date version of RFC, which would be version 1.181.

So where can I download the most recent update??

blizzrd · Jul 1, 2008

The same place you always could. The thread is stickied at the top of this forum.

This thread, in fact

The Turk · Jul 1, 2008

Sorry i'm new here (rly big noob), how do i download from this forum, i don't see any link saying 'Download here'?? :crazyeye:

blizzrd · Jul 1, 2008

You should read the first post in this thread, that would be the place to start.

The Turk · Jul 1, 2008

ok got it! thx a lot!! :lol:

The Turk · Jul 2, 2008

ok, one last question:

While I was playing RFC I was the Babylonians, and then the Egyptians became the Old Kingdom and the Greeks were called the Greek League, how come Persia, India, and Babylon's (and more civ's) names don't change??

blizzrd · Jul 2, 2008

It's to do with dynamic civ names, which are unique to RFC (I think). Plenty of civs change their names, but I don't think that every civ will at some stage change their name.

The Turk · Jul 2, 2008

Oh ok, so they will change their names later you mean. Thanks

I finally learned how to download the mod. When I went to advanced in the menu I had two RFCs, I clicked on the newest one and instead of getting the usual RFC with the two options of the two starts, I basically got the usual Civilization Beyond the Sword start and I couldn't figure out how to start the RFC part. Do you guys know what is going on and how I can fix it?

The Turk · Jul 3, 2008

what's happening on July 3 2008 is that when the newest version is coming out??

I know this request will probably be ignored (it usually is) but would it be possible to make the XML in this mod utf8 compliant so it doesn't cause crashes on Japanese and Chinese versions of Windows?

I really want to play this, but I keep crashing to the desktop from XML errors

civhelp121 · Jul 3, 2008

so, does anyone know a way to help?

I keep crashing to the desktop from XML errors

What is the errors text exactly?

from the control panel (international settings) you can change the language to use for programs that don't support Unicode. It might help with Civ4 too.

LoadXML call failed for xml\text\civ4gametext_embassy.xml.
Current XML file is: xml\text\civ4gametext_dynamiccivnames_12ara.xml

The loader then throws the same error for each XML file.

Here's the log that gets saved after the crash:

Spoiler :

This isn't Rhye's fault, it's because Firaxis's XML implementation is just kind of crappy. The original Civ4 had the same problem, then it was fixed in the last patch, then it came back in Warlords, then fixed again in BtS.

What's happening is that the French, German and Spanish accent chatacters are being parsed as doublebyte Chinese and hosing up the XML format.

Usually the game is playable, but all the strings don't get mapped to English. (That makes the game really exciting when the congress menus come up and I have no idea what I'm voting for.) In the latest version though the game just crashes to the desktop after it finishes trying to load the XML.

I've tried setting the default codepage for non-unicode to English many times. It doesn't work (the civ4 XML is unicode, it turns out: utf-16, but it still doesn't parse.) What does work is if the XML is saved in a different format. (Whatever codepage the BtS XML is saved as, that works.)
An English-only version that contains no accent characters works too, it's just a genuine pain in the ass to go through and remove them all after every mod update

Maybe we can work out some kind of quid pro quo arrangement. In return I'm able to do any Chinese or Japanese localizations the project might need

Most text files remain the same after update, so you may need to de-accentize just two-three files.

well i dont think we can expect a new version of RFC anytime soon

Rhye is working on RAND right now so the next version might not be out for a while

Although im uber excited for RAND
