I get this texture error, when I click on a promotion:

Essentially means one of the promotion's icon hasn't been installed properly.
 
Since it's been a while and I could not reach Barra via PM, I've created my own fixed version of this mod. I've added all the missing icon sizes and replaced those that were weird looking/ pixelated, added working versions of the Indonesia-promotions, re-enabled the promotion order and recompiled the whole mod.

So if you are reading this Barra, please let me know if you don't want me to add it here. Otherwise I would like to share it!

Oh yes please. I'd love to get my hands on that. Hopefully you'll be able to release it soon.

Thanks for the extra work Lynnes, and of course Thal and Barra for starting this mod in the first place.

I think I'll wait a few more days in case Barra reads this and does not want me to upload the modified version here, but I could send it to you via PM if you want to test it out.

I have 2 versions:
-the standard one which is the equivalent to Barra's
-one that works with these mods adjusted by Serp:
(BNW) Leugi's Barbarian Inmersion Enhancements
Promotions - Level Promotions (by Serp)
Promotions - Terrain Crossing (PNM by whoward)
Promotions - AntiAir Specialisations (PNM by whoward)

I can also include the required mods for the second one.

What will it be? :)
 
Hey guys,

sry for the unconvenience, I was a bit troubled in the job, so I dont play and read very much, regarding to civ.

I have attached a... already not so hot...hotfix vers.
It will patch the 256er Icons bug.
I will add the pnm promos, lynnes mentioned a lil bit later with an common update!

Hello!

So if it is okay for Barra, here are my fixed versions of the mod, so you don't have to do the same work again. If not, please let me know and I will remove them!


Updated to v7!

FlagPromotions v7

FlagPromotions ModSupport v7
This version supports a variety of great mods and their new promotions (please see below). All the required mods are included in this download package, but since some of them are from whoward's PNM, you will also require the Various Mod Components - DLL OR the Community Patch.


Included Mods in the ModSupport-version: (everything was modified by Serp to work together and with this mod, so only use these!)


For detailed information about the changes also check out Serp's great modpack!



Changes


-added all missing icon sizes
-removed/ replaced all blurry icons from the Civilopedia
-added and imported the missing icons for the Indonesia promotions (they would show random icons on the flag otherwise)
-re-enabled the order in which new promotions are presented
-recompiled the mod, so you don't have to manually copy it when creating a modpack with MPMPM
-shortened the mod's name (no more special signs) to avoid issues with Windows 10 and MPMPM
-added a few missing entries for promotions and some other minor changes I forgot

FlagPromotions (v3)
This is the standard version and the equivalent to the one from Barra, means you don't need any additional mods.

Thats nice thanks, I never bothered with the civilopedia icons

This was already fixed ;)

sry, I told him to just post it in your thread and see what happens =P

For me it is okay, and I guess for Lynnes too ;)
 
Oh can I use only with one of these mods? The one Serp made
My Game crashes with Various Mod Components at diplomacy screen without using any other mod at all besides Enhanced User Interface

Hehe, thank you! :)
Of course it's okay, cool! ^^

About the Indonesia-thing:
That was something that really kept me busy since you mentioned it in your latest changelog!
In the Cat_Promotions.sql you defined the New_Icon_Atlas for those promotions, which on the other hand utilized the NewIcons.dds-files for all sizes. But only the 16 & 32 pixel sizes contained the specific icons for those promotions.
So I tried it out ingame and when I earned those promotions, I always got some random icons (drill, woodsman..) for them next to the flag, sometimes they even changed every turn.
Also, when you loaded the 1.66 several times, you could get different outcomes every time: sometimes it showed the vanilla icons for all promotions that utilized the NewIcons-stuff (civilopedia), sometimes there were the blurry looking 'correct' icons, sometimes there were no icons at all. :confused:
So I'm pretty sure the NewIcons-files broke something in the mod, plus I always suspected them to be the reason for the black-boxes-bug (random icons in the game suddenly appear as black boxes with red stuff after a few hours of playtime, until you restart the game), that was reported several times in Serp's modpack-thread, and also plagued me for a while now.
That's why I completely disabled those files, replaced all references, switched to an separate atlas with all sizes (including new 16px) for the Indonesia-promotions and also added the 'Enemy Blade' promotion, that was missing in the Cat_Promotions.sql.

So I didn't mean to compromise you by adding the same aspect about the Indonesia-promotions in my list of changes! Sorry if this was a bit misleading! :)


That said, I was also thinking about extending the variety of icons in another version.
Salamandre created a very nice pack:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=530445546&searchtext=promotions
I think I gonna ask him if he would mind us to include his icons, what do you think?

Serp's modpack already includes the VMC-DLL, so you don't need to install it again.
(and if you do, it will probably crash the game, yeah :D )

But since Serp's pack also includes a previous version of this mod, there might be some problems, even when loading the new version over the old one via the mods menu.
You just have to try it out I think.
Let us know about the results! :)

I don't use his full pack, i use this one only: http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=23974

But it's alright because i just saw there are most of the icons of his mod on yours without the "FlagPromotions ModSupport (v3)"

Thank you! :D
 
Oh I got you wrong then!
Yeah, standard FlagPromotions (v3) (without ModSupport) + Level Promotions should work just fine. :thumbsup:
 
A few icons were still missing, fixed in v4.

Nice to see some of Thal's work still being used.
I think you may be missing three files though.
expansion2-45, exapnsion2-64 & expansion2-256 are all missing and will cause "missing texture error" messages.

Which version do you play with?
Sounds like the 1.66 from the front page. Try v4 (three posts above yours) instead.

Thanks, apparently I was. I only got this as a result of report in the CBP issue thread in GitHub. Apparently that user also had the old version.
