Global Warming!!!

[PlayerGuy08]

Hi all,

I tried editing the globaldefines file to do away with global warming but I could not find the such file. I did a search on my entire computer for it, nothing, went to the game directory and searched all over, nothing. Why can't I find it?

It is under Civilization IV\Assets\XML. Alternatively, if you have Warlords or BtS, it will be located under Civilization IV\*Expansion Here*\Assets\XML. You can edit it with notepad.

If you cannot find it chances are you did not spell it correctly in the search.

hi, thanks for your reply, I will try what you said when I have a chance to play... if it doesn't work I'll just reinstall

Hmm, tried to make the change to the xml file:

<Define>
<DefineName>GLOBAL_WARMING_PROB</DefineName>
<iDefineIntVal>0</iDefineIntVal>
</Define>

However the game seems to stop working after that, tried to uninstall to reverse the problem but no luck yet. Any suggestions for why this happens?

I've changed the globaldefines file (the terrain to grasslands, and the probability to zero) in my mod directory but it didn't work in-game.

Then I copied the xml over to custom assets in my documents/my games folder but that failed as well.

Started a new game, seemed fine for a while but at turn 500 global warming shat on me again >.<

I also cleared the cache but the changed xml settings never took place.

Is there something I've missed or am not doing correctly? (ie. changing the xml files with notepad)

/bump for above question

I tried to do this and when I tried to save it told me that it is a read only file and so it cannot create the file!?!?

If it is set to zero, Global Warming cannot happen. It's that simple.

Hoo-rah

Bless you my son. That has *really* been bugging me. The entire Global Warming fraud has been around for way too long, and now recently with the discovery of the cover-ups of the original data, well...

If they're going to change the laws of physics they should have made it a Star Trek Mod


Thanks, gonna be a whole lot more fun to play now.

You just open the file in Notepad or another such product like Word, then save it as usual. If you just click on the file it will open up in your browser and you wont' be able to do anything with it.

Vista/Windows 7 users need to have administrator rights or something to be able to edit a installed program. Or something, I luckily am running XP.

I'll run Linux first before I switch from XP. Not like my PC has enough power for it to work properly anyhow...unfortunately at work they use Win7 and it takes half the day sometimes for the printer to function properly. A total POS.

I haven't looked yet, but I suppose Civ5 runs on Win7?

Right I made a mod for this AGES ago but never did anything with it... I will release it now for the benifit of all... (in the modcomps forums)

<DefineName>GLOBAL_WARMING_PROB</DefineName>
<iDefineIntVal>20</iDefineIntVal>

If I set this value to 10, will the chance for global warming be halved?

 

[The_J]

As far as i understand it...yes.

10% chance instead of 20%, yes.

I might go along with the global warming thing if it would also turn deserts and tundra into pasture or forests
