Final Fixes Reborn

[black_imperator]

Oh i know, rename the MODS folder into Mods (i had forgotten that steam does that)

 

[rjsciv]

Just tried, and same errors and launcher won't open anything.

 

[black_imperator]

was that the Mods folder in the Steam folder or in the Documents one ? (the mod should be in only one of those, not both)

 

[rjsciv]

Everything is currently in the my documents one. The steam one already says Mods, didn't need to change that one.

 

[black_imperator]

With the Mods folder being renamed, try deleting the cache and test again.
(the cache is in C:\Users\(name)\AppData\Local\My Games\Beyond the Sword\cache)

if it still doesn't work, open the Civ4.thm in Resource (with any text editor). what is in it ?

 

[rjsciv]

Cleared the cache still errors when loading via in-game and launcher still won't launch. I get the following inside Civ4.thm:

// *** Control Bitmap Theme file

// Set the resource
resource_path "Mods/Ashes of Erebus/Resource";

// Setup common properties
include "Mods/Ashes of Erebus/Resource/Themes/Civ4/Civ4Theme.thm";

 

[black_imperator]

ok, so the renaming was definitely needed, not sure why it ain't enough yet though. Still the same error when starting from the game ?

 

[rjsciv]

Yeah, the same ones when starting from within the game. Below is the fill list of errors. Still don't know why the launcher won't run the game, and there is no option to point to a directory of file to launch.

 

[black_imperator]

reading old threads and past posts about this issue, the mod should be in in the Mods folder that is in the game installation folder : Steam/steamapps/common/Sider Meier Civilization 4 / and not the my Documents one. It may also help to delete the Civilization4.ini file in MyDocuments/My Games/ beyond the sword

 

[rjsciv]

Still no luck. When I put it in the steam mod folder, it doesn't show up in the game, and the launcher still just exits and won't open game when I click launch.

 

[black_imperator]

show me the steam folder. there might be a problem here (it should appear at least)

 

[rjsciv]

Here is a snapshot of the steam folder.

 

[black_imperator]

ok, inside Sid Meier's Civilization 4 Beyond the Sword, you have another folder called Beyond the Sword and a Mods inside that one, put the mod there ( we're gonna get there ^^)

 

[rjsciv]

Alright, man! I think we got this. I put the mod in that folder and I also moved the Beyond the Sword from the E drive to C drive which is why the launcher wasn't working. It was searching for it on C when it wasn't there. However, I am now able to get into the game without it crashing, but I'm still getting those XML errors.

 

[black_imperator]

ok, those are minor, but let's see if we can't fix them in the Assets/Modules/NormalModules, what folders do you have ? ( same question for Assets/Inactive Modules/Normal Modules)

 

[rjsciv]

Here is a picture of what is in the directory.

 

[black_imperator]

and for the not inactive one ? (also, delete the cache, that can't hurt)

 

[rjsciv]

Sorry, here is the other one.

 

[black_imperator]

ok, that's weird, the modules are in the correct folders, you shouldn't get those particuliar xml errors, unless it misloaded and cached them ( in which case, try deleting the cache ^^)

 

[rjsciv]

Just deleted the cache and tried, same xml errors.
