Downloading, Installing a Playing a New Civ

[Azimuth99]

I had the same problem as Marc from a while back. I do everything that I've been told to do (both ways, but I have been having better luck with the "load mod" function in the game), and I still can't make Canada the civ show up.

Is there a way that I can clear the cache other than the Shift key, because im not sure thats doing it?

What other things could be causing this, in the likely event that I wasn't messing up the shift key.

I just recently discovered Civ IV AND BTS and have tried twice to install strategyonly's pirate mod.when i'm asked what program to use to open the file winzip and winrar are not options.What can i use?I'm running Vista.

It's simple. All u have to do is use a program called 7Zip. it will show up on a list when you right click on the file. just click open with 7zip and press the unzip button(you'll see it when it appears)

How to install an new civ, into an other mod?

 

[CaptainCrunk]

i tried two mods from strategyonly, his animal empire and the mercenaries. they'll load as a mod but there will not be a civilization to choose from animals or mercenaries or anything.

I cleared the cache
i tried changing the config data
I unzipped everything right
I have the newest patches
I did both by themselves, without the other present. I didn't try to combine them or anything

I also tried some random one from someone else did the same thing

yeah same happens here

When I install the mod, I go to advanced, and go to load mod, then the game restarts and in the upper right hand corner it says the civilizations name but it doesn't appear in the list of civilizations.

Why is this?

Are you sure it does not show up ? Modular civilizations do not show up in the list at the proper location (i.e. at their position in the alphabet), they get added to the end of the list.

 

[Yolotli_Yaotl]

Nothing is there not even at the end

 

[mamba]

What civ did you install, it's not a civ which is already in game (just different civ-specific unit art) per chance ?

 

[CaptainCrunk]

strategy_only's animals, mercenaries and someone else's vietnam version all didn't work. i made sure they weren't AES either

 

[Yolotli_Yaotl]

I installed the Mexico (Modular).

All you got to do is make sure you have these folder in order:
"Your mod"/assets/Modules/Custom Civilizations/"your civ"

btw, thx for the really nice compliments.

Depends on the mod. Which one are you trying to install? Some authors have a modular setup, some don't.

Are all mods just for pc or can they be used on a mac too? And if not, are there any mods for just mac?

How can I close some civ slots or open or assign ai in a single or multiplayer game for any mod.

Many mods port over to a Mac version without error, but there are sometimes text issues. Check the Mac subform - there is usually a list of compatible mods kept there.
