In depth look at the WBS file

I did as you suggested, and changed the file name, but when I load it up, it goes straight to the waiting for civ choices screen, and doesn't go any further. Even when I load it up from within a game, it just sits at that same screen forever.

put a copy of the file here.
 
hmm...that's strange. All I did was copy and paste as well, so that's strange. I have noticed something else, and maybe it's something to do with the WBsave, but I cannot change my difficulty. Not that big of a deal, I'm just curious as to what would be causing it.

is it the map that i sent you or a different one?
 
exact same map you sent me, strategy. That's why I just find this all strange.
I did everything exactly as you suggested. I copied and pasted. I think I may just have to reinstall the entire Civ program and BTS, and wait for the 3.13 patch next week.

Guys, I've got myself a little problem here, I've been trying a new type of gametype, but for this I need to have EXCACTLY 16 players (RANDOM CIVS) on a costum map, inserted into 4 teams, which are at perma-war with each other, the major problem so far is getting the 16 players, first I only had 7 each try, now I have 11, but thats still 5 short.

Next, even when I have 11 players it seems to ignore all team assignments (none are in contact/war/allied with none).

Thats because you have the teams listed all wrong above. You cant mess with the team numbers 1-18. You can change them to what you want once you have the custom team game set see attached 1, then it looks like this in a game (see attached 2). Then go into the my games/saves area and change the starting pts for each team and all the other stuff.

You can do it alot of different ways, but if your not that well in mapping, then do it this way.;)
 
Guys,
Would very appreciate if you look at my problem and help to solve the issue. I am really want to join "map/mod builders club" (;), have a few ideas but failed even to start creation of map. I have carefully learn Gale's turorial and started to draw a map. I start custom single-player game, choose continents, tiny size, define 3 nations and start game. Immediately I launch the WBuilder. I delete all units, change the plots to ocean, create 2-3 islands, put units and even cities, put some resources and save the map. (I tried to save it in different paths: Public Maps in My documents as well as on C:\\programm files\Sid's Civilization\Public Maps, the result is the same). Then I exit from the game, re-launch it again. I can see my map in list of scenarios but when I try to load this game I get a crash (comp is staying for forewhere). Then I look into the file of my map by Notepad and see that it is not complete. It looks like below:

So you can see that there is no map at all: no StartPlot-EndPlot, there is only one Player, etc.
How it can be?
I use official russian localized game, I am playing it for a while and generally during a game there are no issues at all. It works properly. The only thing is this WorldBuilder issue.
May be I do something stupidly wrong? May be I shell change some settings in .ini file (I put cheatcode to chipotle, but it did not help).
 
In the vanilla civ4 there is a map called Earth Ice Age, in it you can pick your country, then on the right hand side it will show the leaders and you can then choose which leader you would like to play. How can you enable this feature on a map that i am making?
 
In the WBS file with the players listed, do the team members need to be together in the list. I see in Mr. Crush's example a few post previous, that he has his players team not organized together. Would that cause problems?
 
Ok, I have a question about the "startingplot" thing.

If I want to change where civs start and assign a fixed starting location to each civ, do I need to set startingplot in the applicable plots? Or can I get away with just giving the coordinates in the part that deals with the players (after beginplayer)?

If there are already units on the map, do I need to do either?
 
I have 2 civs I want to always have a defensive pact.

Do they have to be on the same team?

Or, can I have them on separate teams, and use the PermanentWarPeace= and DefensivePactWithTeam= in the two teams' section of the WBS?

and.... here's the real question....

for this to last the whole game,

.... is it necessary to have the GAMEOPTION_PERMANENT_ALLIANCES in the top of the WBS file?

Thanks.
 
Hello.
It is easy to put units into the WBS-file, but how can I save them as injured units?
Same for the city-buildings. Is it possible to save half-finished buildings into the WBS-file?
And third: the growth. can i save a city that is on half way to the next size?
 
Hey,
I was making an update to my mod and now for some reason when ever I edit the WBS file, the game shutdowns. I start the mod and then it says "You have been defeated". I have done this many times and it only happenes now. Can someone please help? What could of I done wrong?
