max players want more then 18 ?

[midn8t]

is there way to push the max players form 18 to 24 ? for custom mutil player or custom single player game ?

i was thinking maybe editing the defualt player setting for map size i put it to 24 but in game its set for a max game of only 18 so even if defualt number of players is set higher then 18 the game menu wont allow more then 18 ?

so i was wondering if there was xml file to edit for the game options to setup for number of max players ?

There have been numerous threads in the past few days about this. Here's one.

It's interesting that so many threads about this would pop up shortly after the release of Warlords. There must be another thread somewhere saying "The modders now know how to do it, just ask them"...

midn8t: For the love of god man stop trolling the forum, your question has been answered several times already, Gerikis has provided a link the post you were to lazy to search for and on said post thier is an easily download DLL file with the changes you want. Unfotunatly you dont seem to have any idea WHAT a dll file is or how to use it as you keep asking "what line do I change? and Which dll file?" A DLL is a DYNAMICLY LINKED LIBRARY and its a compiled binary file, you cant edit it the way you can an XML file, its created COMPILING the source code found in the SDK (Source Development Kit), Dale changed one of the Define value on one of the header files (probably Enums.h) from 18 to 32.

As half of what I just typed soared over your head I will make it realy simple, download the DLL file Dale provides, use a fancy program called winzip to "extract" the file. Create a folder named "Assets" by holding down the right mouse button, a little list will apear. Select "New" and then "Folder" from the second list, this will create a folder dont forget to rename the folder though as it will start with a default name. Place the DLL file in the new folder by "draging" the file which can be acomplished by holding the left mouse button down over the file and moving over to the folder and releasing the button, place the Assets folder in another new folder named "32PlayersMod" created in a similar mannor to the Assets folder. Place that folder in your Mods directory (Normaly C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Mods). Then startup Civ4 by double clicking the Civ4 icon, select "Advanced" from the menu then "Load a Mod", a list will apear find the 32PlayerMod and select it, Civ4 will reload and you will now be able to play game with more player.

yah i didnt have any idea what dll file how it works exactly othere then there importent for hardware and for games to run othere then that my programing skills pretty much stop there.

and i really didnt have any idea what exactly i was searching for or even how to word it so that i could come up with a usefull search. most of all searchs i did relayed around line max players and defualt number of players

and custom defualt when u do a search based off of limited knowleged u tend to not find much of anything. speacily when your not really sure what ur looking for.

i seen the link and i downloaded it and bill3000 helped out also. the dlls files that are in the civ4dll file can be opend with notebook so u can read thro them it seems. the CVgamecoredll file that are in the zip u cant seem to open up with note book to read. u know senes its binary which added to my confusion.

cuz i was thinking maybe i could compare the two to get some what idea what all was going on.

and yes the CvGamecoredll in civ4 u can open up and read.


but senes every one said that dan and Rhyke edited the CvGamecoreDll file and made changes of crouse i thought if they made changes then if i replace the core game dll file wiht this one then it should work ?

yah no it didnt so i just didnt get it.

and like i said why would i understand it if i never done any programing of any kind every in my whole life, i never said i had any type of concept how it works or dont work. just idea of what id like to do, and i would figured that someone elese would have already figured out how to have done it.



and yah it did sore over my head which means i would ask more questions but really dosnt matter i enjoy simple answears not complicated one.

so anyways thanks for the help im going to copy and past it into word and print it out cuz for life of me my memory sucks.

so i wont remember any of what i read and ill just kinda go along with it as step by step driections.

I didnt really know u could just take a game core file out of a zip and then use it as ur own random mod.

i wouldnt really never even ever thought about looking in that driection.

so thanks much apperaticed


I dont really understand why u cant take an edited changed file and replace orginaly with it i mean i dont get why the changes dont take effect

the cvdll orginal replaced with edited cvdll file = nothing

dont really understand that one.

anyways i also always thought forums where for asking questions.

sorry didnt know that this place wasnt meant for asking questions.

but senes no one here seems to like questions i guess no one will answear this one what in the world is

trolling i dont really get how one can troll form ?

I looked up word in webster to try to figure it out turns out it means to Roll , or to be pulled behind a slow moving boat or it emples to a custom baited line for fisshing, o also applys to sining in a full voice.

I didnt know one could do any of those things on a form ?

or maybe u mean that people shouldnt post questions on a form to bait people into answearing them ?

The place is meant for asking questions, just not two threads asking the same question in 2 days. And compounding the error by being a smart-arse isn't exactly going to endear you to anyone.

 

[midn8t]

well i didnt know how to delted othere one.

and i just have pet pev aginst people being smart ass when u ask question.

of course did a search my eyes started hurting after while so i posted this.
well posted one i have issue with mis reading this speaicly numbers i thought i posted it in civ4 area but then i noticed it was in the civ3 and i asked a modrated if they could remove it but they didnt seem to get back to me about it so i just kinda was like well now what.

so i just reposted new one in civ4

anyways i think i found out what confused me wiht the CvGamecoreDll thing. there seems to be two files.

i thought that senes it was a dll file that it was in the CvGameCoreDLL folder
hence name dll

yah no. when i was reading the print out over agin that implaer topic it i read assest folder.
there seems to be two files called CvGameCoreDLL one in the assest folder and one in the CVgameCoreDll folder.

i replaced the one in the CVgameCoreDll folder. with the Dll file that Rhyke made which didnt do anything. im giving up one the whole replace of files and just do whats on print out and see what happens but im wondering if u someone was to change the way the game is hard coded if both files would need to be edited or not ?

so i was doing it right i guess just worng file named the same.

which is why i was so confused i guess.

actully what i wish is that there was more of a file type system kinda like file planet. instead of searching form u type in name or discrption of mod and it brings up the mod or edited file.

Rhye, not Rhyke. Dale, not Dan. Typos are one thing, but this is fairly consistent on your part. Simply put, you're not paying attention.

Take your time, organise your thoughts, check your facts to make sure they're correct, proofread, then post. Don't disrespect the people trying to help you.
