HOF Mod Support/Suggestions

[AlanH]

Even without Challenger, it's still six. And don't forget we also produce Mac saves. If Aspyr decide on multiple distribution options we could end up with a veritable forest of saves for every game.

I cast ALL my votes in favour of DaviddesJ's solution, and therefore this remains very relevant to HoF Mod Support/Suggestions .

Reread David's question:

Regular edition, gold edition, and steam makes nine. David was asking what the third one was.

Ah. My bad.

My PC crashed and I formatted. I had to reinstall Civ IV, the patch, and HOF 1.74. There's a problem with some DLL file. When I first installed it there was a short thread with the solution to this DLL problem but I can't find it now. I know that I have to download an update for DirectX.. Does anyone have that link?

Edit: Also, since I reinstalled windows I notice that there is no "My Games" folder, where the Civ IV saves had been filed on my previous HD. Where do Civ IV saves get stored if there's no "My Games" folder?

Are you are Vista user? I think you can use this link to get DirectX.

Start a game. Civ4 will created the "My Game" folders.

when I play using this mod, suffered with 2 problems.
In the middle and late game,
1, If i load a game, 100% chance to crush with error 0xc0000005. Although this error will occur very rarely without this mod.
2, After a turn is over , before the next turn begin, i have to wait for a very long time about 50-60 sec. Usually the time will be 5-15sec without this mod.

what shall i do?

Welcome to the Hall of Fame.

I am not sure I understand #1. Is that like reloading a previous save to replay? That's not allowed for the Hall of Fame, BTW. Do you have a screenshot?

For #2, while I think the HOF Mod requires some additional resources, I don't think it is normally a problem unless someone is alreay close to the edge on resources. What operating system are you running? How much memory does your video card have?

First I’m sorry that I have not read the rules carefully and submit 4 games. Please exclude all of my games.
But the second one is very critical. It means I’ll spend 1/3 even ½ of time for waiting.

Please help me.

If you dont run as many HoF mod components I assume it would go faster. What are you running?

you'd also likey have asset differences in people who bought Boxed CIV4/War and STEAM or D2D'd BTS. Or Gold Version of the same.

Sorry, I am not really sure what to tell you. I would definately disable any of the extra options. There are some low res graphics available on Firaxis' web site you might try as well.

I am having a CTD with Hof 3.03.001 and Blue marble 3.0.

I can play with both mods in place until I select the game option for lock assets (in order to submit a legal game to HOF).

I have re-installed a fresh installation but I cant fix it.

The CTD is only present when I launch a custom game with Lock assets checked off. I can reload the game and play any other new game as long as it is not locked?

Any suggestions? The Blue Marble mod is beautiful!

There is a known problem with the HOF Mod and Blue Marble. For now they are not compatible. Sorry. If it is something on our end we'll try to fix it for the next release.

It is not in the HOF mod.. it is the same problem that cause problems with blue marble and multiplayer

 

[Bally]

Thanks Denniz and Gythaar for the quick reply.

Any idea when the next patch from Firaxis is due?

Haven't seen any discussion on that in the blogs lately.

 

[dutchfire]

It was ready a week ago, but hasn't been released yet according to this post/thread.

Can the foreign advisor display in the Resources screen whether an opponent is willing to accept Open Borders?

 

[HolyHandGrenade]

With Vanilla you can check the total sum and the points per turn of the culture for all your cities in the city overview screen (F1). With BtS i have to check the victory screen (F8) for the total of culture points. Am I doing something wrong? I want to have a quick overview how close my legendary cities are now and how much points they are accumulating.

Probably, I will have to look.

I took out the Domestic Advisor mod until I could figure out what needed changing/updating for all the new BTS stuff. I plan to put it back with the next release. (We are going to wait for the next BTS patch to come out before we try to put together a new release.)
