My laptop is a Windows Vista PC and I am using Civ IV Gold Edition with Warlords and the base Civ IV. Based on what I have read in other forums the Civ IV and the Warlords that are included in the GOLD edition have the latest patches. I also checked the support sites and there are no patches to download for the GOLD edition.
I have been trying to install and use some of the MODs on this website, but I have had no luck. I see the MOD being loaded when I start the game, however when I attempt to use it in the game the MOD does not work. In fact my entire interface changes when I attempt to use a MOD, and since I have never used one before I am not sure what to expect.
When the game starts up and the MOD loads, the Friaxis Splash screen and the 2K Games splash screen are not loaded (not sure if this is normal for MOD loading), The game skips all opening music and goes straight to the Menu scrren "PLAY NOW, CUSTOM, SCENARIO, etc..) I do see in the upper right corner the MOD that I tried to load.
I start a game via PLAY NOW, go through the options. The game begins like normal except when I don't have a MOD loaded I have on the screen the following
1. Map with Settler and Warrior
2. Year in upper right corner with buttons for Military Advisor, Techs, etc
3. Lower right corner has scores, the toggle buttons for bare tile, etc
4. My flag is displayed
5. Unit information / Tile information is displayed in lower left corner
6. Money and Research information in the upper left.
When I do have a MOD loaded the only thing I have is the map with the Settler and Warrior. I can use the ESC key to get to the Menu for Exit Desktop, Worldbuilder, Options, etc..
This just does not happen on a particular MOD, but all MODS. I have read all the FAQs and I have installed the MODS based on the information the MOD makers have supplied with their MOD, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Has anyone ever used Vista and got MODs to install?
Has anyone used Civ IV Gold and/or Civ IV Gold Warlord and fot MODs to install?
Has anyone used Vista and the Gold Edition and got MODs to install?
What am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
