I just recently installed Civ4, and FfH2... but I've had one big problem in game. There's no interface. I'm wondering if this is from playing it in windowd mode, but its confusing.

Are you using Vista by chance?
 
Nope. Windows XP. Its weird. The interface works PERFECTLY in the normal Civ4 game.
 
You may also want to try renameing your CustomAssets directory to CustomAssets.old
 
Which CustomAssets folder? The one in my documents and settings folder or the one in the mod's folder?

The prior one gave me a 'this is currently in use' error.

Edit: The prior one didn't work. Damn.
 
Hm. Is it a problem that I don't have my Mods in the Documents and Settings mod folder?
 
If this is of any help: I once had the same problem and it turned out to be because I had another mod installed that affected the GUI. As Kael said, it has something to do with he CustomAssets folder.
 
I don't have any other mods installed though... Well, I just downloaded Revolution, but it had the same problem. And I just replaced my CustomAssets folder with FfH's folder just in case. Nothing. Well, it did replace my name with the actual leader name for once.

sorry, but this is the error I got.
 
this is an odd one because it's happening in more than one mod - I can only suggest similar things to the others:
1. delete and then re-install ffh2 from your C:\program files\Sid Meier's Civ 4\mods directory or wherever cIV is installed
2. if that still fails (and it probably will), delete or rename your my docs\my games\sid meier's civ 4\CustomAssets directory - cIV will then generates new + empty one next time you run the game
3. if that also doesn't work, it could be worth trying a full reinstall of vanilla civ 4, then the 1.61 patch, then ffh2 - it could even be worth re-downloading ffh2 (although the fact that another mod has had a interface issue suggests ffh2 is not the cause). I realise that's a bit of a pain to do all of that, but it's probably your best chance. If that doesn't work, try asking in the main civ4 bug forums.
 
Thats a very interesting find. The file is is complaining about is in:

C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Resource\Themes\Civ4

That file isn't included with the mod so Im at a loss to explain why you are seeing this problem. I attached a copy of my "Civ4Theme_Common.thm", but I have modified it to create the gold interface you see in the screenshots for "Fire".

You can get my "Civ4Theme_Common.thm" from: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=174740

Can someone else link an unmodified "Civ4Theme_Common.thm"?
 
I'm basically gonna get a new copy of Civ4, and try it. I think that might be part of the problem, a bad disc. What's even weirder is... The normal game works FINE, its just the mods are screwy. In any case, I'll test out whether or not a brand new copy works when I go out tonight. IF it doesn't, I'll try your .thm. (I already deleted and resinstalled Civ4 like twice, so I don't wanna deal with this copy anymore.)

Okay, on a total new game disk. I got this error in the ThemeParseLog.

Same errors. I'll try the thing you put up and hope it works.
 
Your theme didn't work. It looks like the Civ4.thm is dead.

Anyone got an extra?
