[Graphic Mod] Varietas Delectat v9.2 [civ specific unit sets]

[-Perceval-]

but will you include(if you are the mod creator) the last version of ethnic citystyle even if ther is no new version? because your mod has citystyle 1.3 and the new version is now 1.4.

 

[GeoModder]

I'm the creator of Ethnic Citystyles, not Varietas Delectat.

 

[-Perceval-]

can you say to him to include your last version of ethnic citystyle in his mod please?(ps:very good job for your mod)

 

[GeoModder]

He listens as much to me as he does to you, Perceval. My voice ain't worth more.

 

[Zerver]

:J any updates?

Avian, you get a golden developer award for this mod--firaxis should pay you a salary for finishing their game!

Here's my problem, maybe someone can help.......

Running BtS 3.17 and VD v4.0 on a newly upgraded Vista PC.

I followed the installation instructions on page 1:

- Extract v4.0 into BtS mod folder (unpack with 7zip: http://www.7-zip.org)

- Load the mod either in game with ADVANCED, LOAD A MOD, Varietas Delectat
or set Mod = Mods\Varietas Delectat in your CivilizationIV.ini
to let it load with each game start

And it worked fine... the first time.

Subsequent starts have had the game stop responding while loading the VD XML files, causing about a 5-10 minute process of using the task manager to end task, then re-running Civ, then ending task, etc. Finally, it just loads up the game as it should, but its a most peculiar struggle.

Any ideas?

there will be no new version i think(In civ 5 all civ will probably have their own units and buildings).

 

[Lone Wolf]

Considering the fact that in Civ3, every culture group had its own artstlyle, while unmodded Civ4 lacks Mesoamerican and Middle East city artstyles, I doubt it. Besides, Civ5 won't be released anytime soon.

 

[walbeek]

Civ 5, yeah that would be the day. Not before 2010 I would guess.....

But until that time, there are loads of good new units just waiting to be added since the last version of VD. I'm just thinking of the Industrial Mexicans from Bernie (for the Aztecs) and the rest of the Sailing Ships Reskins by JustAtourist (a few are added in VD, but JustAtourist made more). Also there were some nice Asian (by different modders) and Meso-American (by Chuggi) ships.
And of course there would be other nice possible additions that have been posted since the last version. Why wait until Civ5. We want it now !!

 

[-Perceval-]

ok but varietas is based on the "what if" supposition, so put mexicans to aztecs can be good for cultural diversity but not for varietas.
But in all case, this version need to be uptated, i think that this mod didn't have the last version of ethnic city-style.

Hey I love this mod to death, but it would seem I cannot play with this mod on without the game crapping out on turn 44/45!!! Whats with that?

I am running official BTS 3.17 with blue marble (although this happens without it on)

I play the game with bluemarble and without this mod and it runs just fine nothing happens at turn 44/45

 

[adyghost]

Is there any way to make this mod work on saved games? Thanks.

 

[JustATourist]

There is a big chance, that you will have a crash to desktop, if you try to use the mod on a saved game.

 

[adyghost]

Actually, what happens is that the game tells me it has to load "No Mods", then unloads Varietas Delectat and loads my game.

 

[NikNaks]

You can't load old save games or scenarios with a new mod. It's just the way it goes.

 

[Goweigus]

Well i did some more testing after a few days of playing the game, and now this mod makes the game crash on turn 49!!!

does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

 

[NikNaks]

This hasn't been updated (either with fixes or units) for some time. I recommend trying Diversica if you still can't get it to work.

 

[avain]

Hi guys,
actually I returned to update VD and I'd say I'm 60% done (which is quite a work considering all the new/updated units).

avain

 

[-Perceval-]

very good news! wat will be the changes exactly?

 

[cool3a2]

Hey avain! Haven't read anything from you since a while. Do you plan to update your Hungary module for VD as well?
