Govern and make war

[shultster]

Well, after reading your reply I found where I could download the entire mod pack by following your "My FTP server" link. By the way, this is a very slow download. I have a cable modem which usually reaches speeds of 200-300 kb/sec. but the maximum speed I could download the entire mod was only 15 kb/sec. I believe this is due to your PC or server having a ADSL connection and that's the maximum speed I can expect with that kind of service.

It took over 1/2 hour to download, but once it was finished I executed the file and it still crashed with the following error message: "The hilited file(s) failed CRC validation".

I noticed there was another file that included the uninstall, so I will attempt to download and install this mod pack and see if it works.

I still have not found instuctions anywhere for downloading and installing this mod pack. I suggest adding to either your Main Page or the Download page something that everyone could easily understand. Something like the following:

1) Click on the links below and download the 5 files. After each one is downloaded, rename them to the file name on the page you downloaded them from, respectively.

Note - You should mention where to download all the files. For instanst, should they all be downloaded to the same folder or in the Civilization III directory?

2) Once all the files have been downloaded and renamed, double click on the gmw102.exe file to begin the installation.

3) After the installation is complete, download and install the Fix for GMW 102 file.

Note - This is only a suggestion. I don't even know if what I wrote was correct. I'm only guessing this is what you have in mind. Also you should inform people that they could download the entire mod from your FTP site. I know you have included some of this information in your posts, but people should be able to find all of this information on your web site instead of looking through 5 pages of posts and replies.

I have been having a hard time reading your English, but I think I'm getting better at it.

Hopefull, this next file I'm downloading will install successfully.

Thank you for the time and effort you have put into this mod.

I don't know why you have got a CRC error cause it is good (i have re re verified it before replying)
Maybe you have rereresume it (i have see something like that in the log someone who have download it strangely maybe u???)


And yes my english is not good...

For the archive on the website i will verify but when geocities will finish the maintenance.

Well for the FTP, yes it is my FTP (easy to upload files and to verify them lol) so it is ADSL (16 Kb in up) but as it is unlimited....

And there's a note just near the FTP access that resume all on this FTP. As it is not online all the time I have put this as an option as I know most doens't know how to use a FTP.

And why you want to download them into the civ3 main directory?
you just have to put all archives in same directory and renammed correctly.

And thanks to encourage me to improve this mod .

i used your inst. on how to download,and install, i put all five(5) files into one folder, and installed with the exe. file. the game would not install keep getting an error message "hilter failed CRC validation" , i have tried this at least 3 times. i used the fixed patch and civ3 1.21. i have windows XP. i tried to download from your FTP files but could not get access "no user code, or pass word" . your game looks great i wish i could install and plat. by the way i think your english is ok, better than me, thanks richard

 

[Ralendil]

FTP was closed. for the files it were good... I

It is the last archive
I upload it again... grrr

 

[Ralendil]

Oki Geocities corrupt my files

So I will correct this tommorrow with a poor zip install (only thing it seems to accept correctly !)
For now go to bed

Well since I am on free hosting (after my website delete by multimania/Lycos again a little pub) there are most errors in downloads than I can correct

Well all I can say it is I will try to repair this. But don't know if I will be able to.

Again, only FTP downloads seems to be correct even if speed isn't good... Morality: My PC is better than website hosting company !
LOL
But it is near that...

Well I make the archive and will put a mention into news on my website when all will be ready. I will test all so it will be long...

Last: try to keep your archives...
and maybe I will have to think about an another solution... again.

 

[Ralendil]

It is on civfanatics. Look at the first page.
I have tested and it is good.

For the download page i think i will remove the geocities links cause I can't upload nothing without they corrupt my files !
But I have to search another solution.
Don't forget you can find the complete version ONLY on the FTP. In the complete version there's graphics and uninstaller more.

The website would be actualized later.

I hate when all go bad like that but finally Thunderfall has saved me !

Oups !!!! This is the 3rd post consecutive. Sorry.

 

[yexusbeliever]

I am a new fan. I am lost because I do not know how set-up the Danes file to play it. Also, I do not know how to set-up units like the assassin files. Can someone help me?

 

[Ralendil]

I don't think u think about my mod.
In it u don't need to install unit by unit. It is a pack with its own rules...

 

[EmprorCoopinius]

Hey, I have Windows XP, and I can't delete the .zip extensions on the files, and thus can't play the mod. Any suggestions, etc?

 

[Ralendil]

yes
go in your options (folder options) and discard hide file extensions for know file type.
You can take it on the FTP also (single files install).


If you don't find where I will ask to someone with XP (i ve got 2000) cause it is not exactly the same place where you can find this option on 2k and on XP. So tell me if it is good.


I look to an install that would be a single files in some parts (like the Eclipse's mod).

 

[kingjonn]

Would it be possible to build a city improvement like a coastal fortress but for inland cities? Maybe a special improvement for the military dictatorship.

 

[Ralendil]

yes i think

But have to think if i replace the military school
Cause I want to balance more, so I must have 1 improvement by government.

 

[Ralendil]

For Empror Coopinus and other
I have made a bat file to renamme and launch the installer.

So take it, unzip it and run install.bat into the same directory where the archives of the mod are.

Enjoy.

(he he for the next version you will beneficit of this system. A bat will rename all your down and start auto the install that will be in a single file. Good !)

 

[EmprorCoopinius]

Thanks for the quick response, much appreciated. I was able to get the files to download by right clicking them and going to "save target as". Everything worked just fine after that. Thanks again.

 

[richard shults]

i downloaded and installed the mod, it went ok, thanks for the new downloads. only have a few comments; (1) it run a bit slow before each turn,(2) can not find any minor tribes, no civ advancements, gold and etc.(3) did not change adversor faces. i just begun playing but it looks great thanks richard

 

[Ralendil]

Just the France have a new leaderheads (Napoleon)

For all new civs I have used some of the original game.
There's also something you don't have remarked it is the provencial government that have no icon that be displayed in building queue. I will coorect this... Tell me if you see some features to change, some units to add, or to delete.

Minor tribes ?? I always play without... But i don't think there's a bug. I will verify but maybe you just have forgot to change the barbarian activity set to none by default by me.

Thanks for all your comments.

 

[richard shults]

the game still crashes, (1) can not go to the foreign advisor, when i do the game crashes(2) will not go pass 90ad , games crashes(3) i can not go to your ftp site , i use a modem. i will try to redown load all 7 files and try again

 

[Ralendil]

Could you send me the save???? by my FTP or by mail (ralendil@hotmail.com) cause my game dont crash (1000 AD with 16 civs (it is the GOTM that i have put on the website)). Plz send me a save 1 or 2 turns before the crash not the save when it crashes.

FTP is a personnal server. So as I use my connection it is not opened all time... Moreover when Tiscali disconnect me and when I am not at home I can't reconnect it auto (Tiscali have made a system to forbid this... they say it is our computer but it is all Tiscali users computers so...)

And for the foreign advisor see rules.... read them all is written into.



I quote here the updated chapter:

FUTURE AND KNOW BUGS.

Future adds not done at this time:Civilopedia.

Future Civilizations add: Mongols, Ottomans, Vikings, Mayas.

BUGS KNOW:

Install the mod in a clean installation. Installing it in a different folder can cause crash (the 1545 AD crash).
This version works only with the VO version 1.21f.
If you type F4 (foreign advisor screen) you wil obtain a crash of the game. But sometimes it works.
The AI won't use the legionary ability to build road. But I have tried a tip. So if you see AI using the build road ability of legionary tell me.

 

[Ralendil]

Sorry to say that but the last save that i have received wasn't a save of the GMW 1.02 final release.

Well there was a beta before the release of this version (on the FTP...). It seems you have this...

I will correct your save but don't know if I will be able (there was most version of the beta before the release...)

Well if you download the mod from the FTP download archives that are here when you enter in the FTP. Currently the name of the GMW mod setup (i haven't corrected the website...) TGMW102.exe.

On this website there's the 1.02 finale release...

Is there any chance that you can put all of the files on one zip so it is easier to download. Also do the files on the first page include the graphics, and if not where do I get them. Another question do you have any civilpedia entries for the newly added units?
