[modmodmod] SOI expanded

[Nizou]

Happily, I've written a lot on this thread, so all ideas I have aren't lost
I have "only" to remodify source files ̂ ̂
Maybe not now, but I'll continue the project later

 

[Nizou]

So, as you could guess, I've lost all modified files.
But we have a lot of informations here and I remember what I've done before, so redo the modifications shouldn't be hard.
Just, can you create a SVN on SF for SoIXR please ? I have a displaying issue on Firefox and I'm forced to go on Chrome in order to access SF correctly. And the SVN could prevent from losing data, and together I think we can do better things ̂ ̂

Hey guys, I didn't expected that : NotePad asked me to recover the greek dictionnarty I've done
It's one thing less to redo

EDIT : I'll take a pause of Civ modding, below is the Medieval Greek dictionnary (with additionnal names because I had tried to improve the city name map)
And here remaining modifications of the City Names map (not all, it's an old file) :

As I said, I will pause modding, however I'll continue to read this thread and maybe give some advice ?

How do I install this mod? Do I need the vanilla SoI? Whatever I did it appears to crash on launch.

 

[Nizou]

You don't need the base SoI, it is a standalone modmod
When you're on SF, download the "SoIX.rar" of the 2014-08-24, earlier versions are totally broken, I don't know why.
Just, yo have to know that this version has not all changes which where intended to be added in this thread ̂ ̂
If you want to give help, you are welcome ̂ ̂

I downloaded the 2014-08-24 SoIX.rar version, but I'm getting an error during the [INIT Engine] part saying:

GFC Error: failed to initialize the primary control theme

Help?

EDIT: Never mind, I fixed it already.

So is this submod idea dead ? :'(
I have a ton of ideas to improve the mod, but the same problem persists : idk civ4 modding, and there's so much to learn i'm a little lost x)
What about the new version ? @AtlantaMarty I'm sad that you disappeared :'( Will you come back later ?
@EdmundIronside what about my ideas ? You said you will take a look at my ideas, but no news after that :'(

@EdmundIronside what about my ideas ? You said you will take a look at my ideas, but no news after that :'(

I did? I don't remember saying that.

AtlantaMarty hasn't been active on this thread since 2016, so I doubt he will be coming back to it.

Before I started modding here I didn't know anything either. Just start with small changes, and build up once you get more confident in your modding skills. There are also plenty of modding guides for various different things on the Civ fanatics site. Emryodead the creater SOI even created a technical guide to SOI. https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/technical-documentation.428869/

Realistically if you want to see your ideas become reality then you will need to try and do them yourself.

Sad times.

Well I look forward to eventually seeing all the stuff you have worked on for this mod.

That's what you said, but no worry, I'm not disappointed by your answer ̂ ̂
Thanks for the link. When I'll have enough time and bravery, I'll take a look into remod this mod ̂ ̂
