korn's Blitz Mod

[korn469]

The readme won't fit into this space, so it is further down the thread (around post 60)

To install the Blitz mod you will need to do the following

1) Back up your original civ3mod.bic file and download the Blitzmod zip
2) Unzip the civ3mod.bic file from the Blitz mod zip into your civ3 directory
3) Open up the Text folder in your civ3 directory and back up your Civilopedia.txt, your PediaIcons.txt, and your Version.txt
4) Unzip the Blitz mod Civilopedia.txt, PediaIcons.txt, and version.txt into your civ3/Text folder
5) Open up your art folder then open up the units folder in the art folder and back up your version of the units_32.pcx file
6) Unzip the Blitz mod units_32.pcx file into your civ3/art/units folder
7) You will need to create unit folders in your civ3/art/unit directory for the following units, Outrigger, Colonist, Grenadier, Partisan, and Modern Army
8) If you have a high speed internet connection, you can download the contents of these folders from http://profiles.yahoo.com/blitz_mod they are in the briefcase if not please follow the instruction below

To create the correct flic files here is a step by step guide

1) Goto your main Civ3 directory
2) From there open the Art file
3) From there open the Units File
4) From there create the following folders
-->Colonist
-->Colonist Modern Times
-->Grenadier
-->Modern Army Ancient Times
-->Modern Army Industrial Ages
-->Modern Army Middle Ages
-->Modern Army Modern Times
-->Outrigger
-->Partisan

5) Staying in the Units File copy all of the files in each folder in the following order
-->All of the files in the Settler folder to the Colonist Folder
-->All of the files in the Settler Modern Times folder to the Colonist Modern Times folder
-->All of the files in the Rifleman folder to the Grenadier folder
-->All of the files in the Army Ancient Times folder to the Modern Army Ancient Times Folder
-->All of the files in the Army Industrial Times folder to the Modern Army Industrial Ages folder
-->All of the files in the Army Middle Ages folder to the Modern Army Middle Ages Folder
-->All of the files in the Army Modern Times folder to the Modern Army Modern Times Folder
-->All of the files in the Galley folder to the Outrigger folder
-->All of the files in the Marine folder to the Partisan folder

6) Once you have done that then rename the .ini files in each folder like so (keep the same spaces as i do)
-->Rename settler.ini to colonist.ini
-->Rename settler modern times.ini to colonist modern times.ini
-->Rename rifleman.ini to grenadier.ini
-->Rename army ancient times.ini to modern army ancient times.ini
-->Rename army industrial times.ini to modern army industrial ages.ini
-->Rename army middle ages.ini to modern army middle ages.ini
-->Rename army modern times.ini to modern army modern times.ini
-->Rename galley.ini to outrigger.ini
-->Rename marine.ini to partisan.ini

7) After that play, have fun, and report any bugs!

the readme is on the second page, it is too big to fit into here

if you encounter any problems or bugs or if you have suggestions please let me know...i will continue to update this mod with the intentions of making it the best play balance mod for civ3

v1.06beta7.3 is is Civ3 1.17f compatable, if you don't have the beta7.3 then i highly recommend you upgrade because you are missing many of the files

 

[lordroy]

Any chance there is a list of your fixes, currently, without reading the history? i.e.

I would be interested in seeing that also...

if you encounter any problems or bugs or if you have suggestions please let me know...i will continue to update this mod with the intentions of making it the best modern era combat mod out!

please follow the install instructions included with the zip

 

[TrailblazingScot]

Thanks Korn...I've really enjoyed using the previous versions of your mods...the increased ship speeds and te improved privateer are the most obvious benefits of running your mod file!

 

[korn469]

kittenOFchaos

well i am glad you are enjoying playing with it
hopefully the patch will give me a little more things to play with in the editor so i can make this mode even better

 

[jim1013]

*Doubled Hit Points and Rate of Fire for all units

a quick question, with the Rate of Fire are we talking about the bombardment bit here or are we talking ALL UNITS.

if so was this to ensure that combat doesn't take longer with the increased hitpoints? if so how did you do that, and also an idea would be to increse the unit healing speed as well, since it has more HP to heal

 

[Caligula]

This mod looks way too good to skip! I had been thinking of making one, but most of my ideas are already in yours, so there´s no need.

One suggestion I can think of would be to add a technical university as an industrial-age improvement. It would increase science significantly, and also production, but with no cultural bonus.

Another suggestion would be for transport improvements, and any others that improve the ability to communicate with distant cities, to decrease corruption.

 

[lordroy]

thanx...

also... you increased the hit points... do you ever get any problems from the increased graphics... I tried this (gave elites a base of 6) and when I did, and the unit moved... it would leave a little trail of pixels behind... from the top of the hit point graphic... I have a pretty hefty system... so it isnt that... just wondering...

I've noticed that same thing.

yea it seems that everyone is encountering this, while annoying i think its goodpoints (better combat results) outweight the bad (stupid little trails of pixals)

a quick question, with the Rate of Fire are we talking about the bombardment bit here or are we talking ALL UNITS.

just the bombard units, otherwise by doubling the hitpoints without doubling the rate of fire then bombard units would only be half as effective

and the healing rate should double as well (i tested it and that is what seemed to have happened)

seeing as the patch will be out soon does anyone have a v1.06 wishlist?

 

[Caos Dragon]

i see that this is one of the few MODs that look very good.
i'll d'load it right now

 

[jim1013]

How did you double the healing rate?

 

[KALIROB2k2]

Very nice, good changes and good Wonders. Really original!

 

[Desert Fox]

A couple things.. I keep getting a crash during industrial or modern ages when using Korn's Biltz mod and patch on a 230x230 world only 8 players. I now am playing on a 150x150 8 player world well into the modern age no crash just total imbalance as you already know. Anyone else played a game past the Industrial or modern ages on Hugh worlds with only 8 civs? I am thinking it is just the lack of proper testing to find all the bugs but who knows.

Desert Fox

 

[korn469]

Desert Fox

what do u find to be out of balance?

i am working on v1.06 and when i release it, while it won't contain any new art it should have an icon for everything, and i don't personally want any bugs in it...crashes are harder to fix, because you have to determine which change caused the crash

also i never play on huge worlds, in fact i never play on anything bigger than standard because i only have a p2 400 with 128mb ram...i once tried to play on a huge world with 16 civs and i couldn't even make it past 1000bc because each turn was taking over two minutes to process

however

just total imbalance as you already know

i don't already know, please tell me how its totally imbalanced

No the game is out of balance without your GREAT mod!! I tried playing the game without your mod to see if it would crash.

Korn's Biltz mod is the best mod out there! I was saying the game (as you already know) is totally unbalanced without your great mod! I was just curious if anyone has played on large worlds with patch and your mod without a crash. I now have to try a game with your mod running under windows 2000 professional. I do know that the worker bug is one reason I was having crashes though.
You had the best ideas I think as far as mods go keep them coming, but wheeled settlers? hmm, I will check it out, I know someone making Army Corp Engineer being able to build roads etc was way out there I bet it will work though or you would not have tried it! Peace!

thanks for the support!
i thought that you meant i introduced new imbalance into the game, which is certainly not my aim
what is the worker bug? are you talking about how it doesn't appear in the build queue? i know what causes this, and hopefully i will enlist the help of someone with art expertise to get rid of it

the wheeled 3 pop early settlers are in place to slow down expansion, so that when the mid game comes there is still places to expand to

i am really hoping that combat in the industrial and modern eras will be much better
btw although armies have had their transport ability reduced to 2 now the military academy, the pentagon, and battlefield medicine raise army size by 1

the full version isn't ready yet, but here is the latest beta

note: to install the beta you will need to replace the current civ3mod.bic file with the civ3mod.bic file i included, however i strongly recommend that you make a backup of your original civ3mod.bic in case my mods crash your game

also to keep the game from crashing you will need to create two unit folders (you can find these folders in ...\Civ3\Art\Units), the partisan unit folder and the colonist unit folder, you will then need to copy all of the files from the paratrooper unit folder to the partisan unit folder, and rename paratrooper.ini to partisan.ini then you will need to copy all of the files from the explorer unit folder to the colonist unit folder and rename explorer.ini to colonist.ini
