[MOD] Westward Ho

[gijas]

Im having a crashing problem when I load this mod. I get xml failed to load error messages when I start the mod. I tried both the wh v4 and the two patches but still get the error. you install this to your my document\ colonization\ mods folder right? another thing I have is the gamers gate civ 4 complete version with colonization included. dont know if it's a compatability issue with that verion. any help?

Update

I found my version was only 1.00 and the GG version of Colonization doesn't come with the 1.01 patch. So I tried to update through the game and download patch but it wouldn't reconize that I had the game installed on my computer. I found a zip (non-installer) for the patch and was able to finally update. After that I installed your mod and the two patches and it works great! Sorry for the confusion.

Is this mod still being developed?

Because I absolutely love it but I keep getting crash to desktop with it, I can't find a pattern to the problem.

View attachment AutoSave_AD-1834-Winter.ColonizationSave Here is my latest save game where the problem is occurring regularly

This is probably one of my favourite mods going I absolutely love it. Hope you guys are continuing to work on it and even maybe expand it because it is just great fun!

Westward Ho!

If I can't play through for a whole game I will be genuinely heart broken........

If anyone reads this

I think that to stop it so that you cant capture the home city to end the revolution, you might be able to turn on Complete Kills in Custom Game

Does anyone still have a copy of the main 0.4 download? Unfortunately it's a redirect to WePlayCiv's downloads area which is gone now. I spoke to Solver and he's regrettably informed me that he's lost the entire WPC downloads area as for some reason it wasn't in his site backups.

The 2 patches are fine as they're hosted locally here at CFC, but the big main download is lost forever unless someone has a copy they can share. I have cloud storage that files can be dragged and dropped into and I have large file upload access here at CFC so I can get it uploaded to CFC to ensure it doesn't get lost again if someone has it.

@Blake00

You may try to contact the modders that were involved in creating this project.
(@TC01 - the main modder - is probably hard to reach though.)

From @TC01 and @koma13 I have not heard since almost 10 years anymore. - The chance to contact them is really low.
@Kailric (who also created "Medieval Conquest") was still around here in the forum from time to time. - You might be successful in contacting him.

Summary:
Try to contact @Kailric, he is your best chance to get that stuff again.
(The mod was never really popular and thus hardly anybody still kept a copy.)

From the active modders @Nightinggale had the best contact to @Kailric because both worked on "Medieval Conquest".
(I have no idea if @Nightinggale has any private eMail of @Kailric though.)

Thanks Ray! I was just about to start chasing up those leads you gave me when another poster in another westward thread I asked in pointed me to a private working download!

Have uploaded a copy to CFC here:

Update patches in the OP are still all good and already on CFC so no need for me rescue them.

Thanks for the links. I had a blast working on this mod back in the day. As Ray pointed out, TC01 was the main modder. I can't remember what all I did. Perhaps something to do with Forts. Mod On!

No worries mate, can't let all the hard work you guys did get lost forever! I should also say that the person who helped me to find the working link to Westward Ho has asked if I can rescue another Civ4Col mod called Mare Nostrum that was also hosted at WPC and is now lost:

I can't find another copy anywhere so if anyone has a copy of the final beta 5 please let me know and I'll get that rescued too.

EDIT: Mare Nostrum Civ4Col mod has been rescued.

Let me know if there's any other important mods out there missing and I'll see what I do.
