Krome2

[JosEPh_II]

Since the work on KROME is stymied by jtanner28 and isabelxxx absence, with some help I have cloned KROME as KROME2.

Over the coming weeks I will post a link to the SVN and try to Upload to CFC.

I would like to keep this Modmod to early RoM alive. It will still be using K-mod v1.35 as the AI base. Later K-mod versions will not be used. As it is an Early RoM base, v1.03, there is No Revolutions mod included, nor will there ever be. Vincentz Jungle Camp modmod is included.

This is my 1st go alone attempt at modding and will be slow to start. 1st work will be some simple xml tweaks. Bugs will take awhile to fix, so please have patience with me.

Thank you,
JosEPh

I'm trying to learn some SVN workings and to be honest struggling. jtanner inside of KROME had a file named jtanner. But if I remove it I then have problems with what is supposed to be the Core KROME even loading right.

I have been able to take and copy the jtanner file and then paste it as the Mod KROME in the BtS/Mods folder and that works. But the Core if I put it in as KROME or KROME2 does not load properly as there seems to be some schema and global defines that the mod need only found in the jtanner folder. So I'm trying to sort that out.

Why am I even bothering with trying to remove the jtanner folder? Because it more than doubles the size of the Mod (468 vs 175 MB ).

So at this moment KROME2 and KROME are virtually Identical. Once I get this separated out and locate and add in the missing parts from jtanner folder to being in the Core, then I can streamline the size and start with the 1st basic xml changes.

End of Status report.

Still . I may just have to leave the jtanner folder in the mod.

No one has even a suggestion of what I should be looking at? Nothing?

Then KROME2 is in bad shape.

hey joseph,

you need to edit the Civ4.thm file (in ...\Beyond the Sword\Mods\KROME2{or whatever you want to name it}\Resource) to point to whatever you want to call your mod. eg:

resource_path	"Mods\[COLOR="red"]KROME2[/COLOR]\Resource";

include	"Mods\[COLOR="red"]KROME2[/COLOR]\Resource\Themes\Civ4\Civ4Theme.thm";

and then go to Beyond the Sword\Mods\KROME2{or whatever you want to name it}\Assets\xml\Art, open CIV4ArtDefines_Misc.xml and edit the path under DEFAULT_THEME_NAME.
eg:

<MiscArtInfo>
			<Type>DEFAULT_THEME_NAME</Type>
			<Path>Mods/[COLOR="red"]KROME2[/COLOR]/Resource/Civ4.thm</Path>
			<fScale>0.0</fScale>
			<NIF>None</NIF>
			<KFM>None</KFM>
		</MiscArtInfo>

oh and you can safely delete jtanner folder. didn't see many changes on a quick perusal. looks like he was merging in super spies and advanced diplomacy.

 

[JosEPh_II]

Thanks satrapper.

I was under the impression that his start screen stuff was in that jtanner folder (the crossed swords and silver color). Glad to hear that maybe it's not.

JosEPh

Edit: had the 1st part done correctly but it was the 2nd part I didn't have as KROME2. Again Thank you.

 

[JosEPh_II]

Okay made the corrections, but... Mod will allow Play Now set up but CTDs at Map generation.

I'm guess this means an art define is messed up? Bet it was in the jtanner file as I've not changed Any art defines but what satrapper posted.

I'm not even sure anymore how to post a link to the SVN so it can be d/l'd.

anything show up in the logs?
It ran fine for me following what I think was the same method as you:
1. downloaded the svn release of KROME
2. copied that to my mods folder
3. deleted the jtanner folder (and the .svn one too)
4. renamed folder to KROME2
5. edited the theme files to point to KROME2
6. loaded KROME2 mod and played a couple turns with no probs.

perhaps try using a generic vanilla civ mapscript?
the jtanner folder is irrelevant to loading KROME
use winmerge to compare the folder contents
