"Fire" Developer Diary

I can't get the mod to work. First time I loaded it fine, went in to look at civlopedia and about 4-5 minutes later the computer crashed hard. I had to unplug it to get the computer working again. I uninstalled, reinstalled and tried again. At end of turn 1 CTD. I uninstalled renamed civ4custom asset to civ4custom asset.old then reinstalled. I tried playing game and at the end of turn 2 the screen went to a kaleidopie of colors and had to ctrl-alt-del my way out of it. never had a problem with any of the other versions, not sure what is going wrong with this one.
 
Here is what I did (and I noticed something that may be a minor bug), and Fire is working for me.

First I renamed my old .16 directory, before I downloaded the new one because for somereason I thought that it might try to install to the same directory and didnt want it over-writing a bunch of stuff I was working on..

Then I installed .20.. and of course it created a new directory. but when I moved the shortcut icon to the desk top - it had the missing icon icon... and upon investigating - it appeared that the icon is using the .16 icon; from the .16 directory; so this might be a minor bug.

(I then went on to re-rename the .16 directory to the regular name and the icon worked for me, and so does .20)

But I do have a question, or 2.

Which tech allows the Altar of Luantar (the first one), and is the Way of Leaves Holy City Special Building gone? Maybe I missed something in the reading, but just started a game (on turn 150 or whatever), got a prophet, and went to make the Leaves' building, but I don't get the option.

it seems to me that the civilopedia it self is incomplete, for instance avatar of wrath is in it but not the wonder and some rituals are missing too

No, but you need a great bard, I think, to build this wonder. I'm not sure if Kael mentioned it or it was in the changelog.

EDIT: Here, I found the entry

104. Great Bards can be sacrificed to build the Song of Autumn, not Great Prophets.
 
Oooh, yea that's right -- I remember reading something about different Great people for some of them. Thanks
 
Is Fire out already? I must be the only one that didn't knew till now...
 
Still not working. I just tried uninstalling Civ4 completely, putting everything in my documents/my games into backup, then reinstalling civ4 vanilla & patches, downloading the FfH2 20 file anew and installing it. Game came up, at the end of turn 5 pressed end turn and BSOD. something just is not working for me. wish i had a log to post for kael as this is as frustrating as heck. Have gotten 1 ctd, 2 bsod and 1 scrambled multi-color screen tonight. hopefully there will be better news in the morning.
 
Where can I download it? it's not in the thread of Fall From Heaven in the mods ( I see light with patch j)
 
okay what is CTD (besides Cult of The Dragon), what is BSOD and why does Fire keep crashing before turn 1 of any games? I quit all other programs like normal...
 
Thanks

Why haven't the team post it here?
I'm sooo happy it's going to rain aaaall the weekend in spain... I wonder why?
:D
 
Is it giving a lot of problems?
 
have vanilla version w/cd, properly patched. CTD means crashed to desktop, game starts up fine then stops, shuts down and desktop comes back up. BSOD means Black Screen Of Death. when playing game stops, screen turns black and computer goes unresponsive to any commands. computer is still running, have to disconnect power cord to get desktop back on.
 
I got ctd after loading.

a question: version is named 20, but in the forum is .21 bug thread?

edit: ctd was on winxp, p4, geforce6600, vanilla civ4 (installed on other disc)

Requires Great Sage as well, been playing the last 4 hours no issues. Pedia has caused no issues what so ever. For install suggest you use the short cut in the mod folder (make sure the orginal short cut has been deleted.

Playing as Hippus (Monarch) love Ride of the Nine Kings, also like the change to Alter of Whatever, second city has Epic and is my GPP center only Prophets.

Real fun, many thanks Kael and the team. Hopefully SS will be rescripting her modette as we speak :)
