[mod] The Song Of The Moon 2

I used to play a bit of Song of the Moon, love it when i was busy exploring the mods on Civ 4, and love the mod, and now that it returned, I was hoping they ruturned that awesome menu theme song but they didn't >:(
 
hi,

"they" arnt around in civfanatics, if i knew what was the theme, i would have used it, but there wasnt on the mods files i think.
anyway - for the new version i replaced all the sound tracks, plus the theme i used something good, that suits the mod a lot.

:)

GOOD NEWS,

im left with only:

events.
promotions.
music pack addon.

after that ill release.

after initial release, i will do this changes to the next version:
-buttons: promotions, actions, terrain, buildings.
-more balance.


***************
ok i decided to release a beta version, it still lacks the stuff i wrote above,
but its still a pretty much complete for now.
ill continue the work and i really ask for some feedback on what to balance - like costs, civics, unit power, bonus appearance and all you can add.

thank you for any help.

What size is the new beta exe? I think I got a bad D/L, as it says it's only 23.5KB.

Okay what is the secret to get this mod to start?

I can get to your set up screen enter my choices, I click Launch and the initializing rectangle comes up, and then the side panel for BUG options comes up on the screen. But once the loading bar completes it goes Black screen with the "Sorry Sid Mier's CIV BtS exe has encountered an error and must close".

I have unzipped the 7z SDK inside the mod. But what does Pak Build do?

And why does the mod have to be unzipped twice? Very confusing. :(

JosEPh_II,
hi,
really? you cant get the mod to load? how did you install it?

the zipped sdk - is just to make it smaller, maybe i left the folder of it also, ignore it.

pak build unpacks the art files - for modders.

the mod isnt zipped twice my good friend, is just an exe that auto unpacks into song of the moon2 folder where you put it.

anyone else had this problem? cause at my end theres now such problem.
 
I took the unzipped d/l and placed it into the /program files/.../BtS/Mods folder. Then I clicked it to self extract, which it did.

I then launched BtS and selected Load a Mod from the advanced screen. I selected song...2 and as I described above got that far.

I'm not unfamiliar with installing mods as I've been very active with RoM and AND from their respective beginnings. I am also testing VIP, 20000BC, and Caveman to Cosmos.

I also tried extracting the Mod outside of the BtS directory path and then copy/paste the Mod into the program...BtS/Mod folder. It didn't work either.

Then I went into the Mod and un7z'd the SDK build which then gave the SDK folder that wasn't unpacked before, hence the Double Unzipping reference.

I'll remove everything and try 1 more time. I also could not get the 1st song2 version to play either.

I have a x64 OS, Win XP Pro. I run always as Administrator.

I play Dune Wars, Moo2Civ5.1, Planetfallv13, and K-mod all with no problems too.

It's quite perplexing.

JosEPh_II,
hi, yes i know your a really active player here, ive seen your posts everywhere :)
sorry didnt mean any disrespect.

its a real puzzle, i have no idea why the mod wont load, maybe you can do this:
remove the sotm2 ini file within game folder, second remove all the files in the user settings, see if that helps.

waiting for your report.
 
Did as requested and still the same results.

2 screenshots before the dreaded "Sid Mier's Civ....has encountered a problem and must close." "Would you like to send a report to Microsoft..." :nuke:

I guess my computer doesn't want to let me play Song. :( :/
