[MODPACK][Warlords] jrayUGH Unaltered Gameplay Hodgepodge

[BlueWaldo]

Why does this mod disable multiplayer? I would love to be able to use all these improvements in my Pitboss games.

I downloaded this, and now I have no HUD. Any ideas?

Please? I really want to get back into warlords

 

[The M'Hael]

I have tried reinstalling warlords, playing in a window, reinstalling this mod several times, and nothing is working. I read through this thread and someone else has this problem on win 2k and installing Vista fixed it for him. I am on XP Pro, so Win2k was NOT the problem. I am getting tired of this. No one is replying. Come on people there has to be a reason...

I'm using the mod as standalone on Warlords, Windows XP and I have no problems with it... Something else might be causing this, but I have no idea what. Are you using it as a standalone mod, or have you merged it into the actual game assets?

MHael, this may seem obivous, but have you downloaded and installed the latest Warlords patch? (2.08)

Cheers,

Finally! Thank you for your suggestions!

I have tried putting it in custom assets and as a standalone mod. I did, however, forget to mention that I am also using Better AI and the title screen mod that reverts Warlords title screen to that of Vanilla Civ. I am about to try it with just JrayUgh in a minute

And yes, I have the latest patch installed

Thanks a lot!

EDIT: I found the issue. It is the Title Screen mod... I am going to see if I can make it compatible though

Below is a merged jrayugh and Title screen mod interface xml. Feel free to do whatever you want with it

Now that I'm going to install jrayUGH, this is exactly what I wanted. Thanks M'Hael.

Also, I have a tiny suggestion: change the ALT+R for reminders. It's also used for building roads between two points and I kind of got used to that. I don't remember exactly in which file you have to change, but if I could find it you can find it too.

I'm using this reminder mod with Shift-R shortcut. To do this, open ..\Assets\Python\CvEventManager.py , look for the line

if (theKey == int(InputTypes.KB_R) and self.bAlt):

and modify it to

if (theKey == int(InputTypes.KB_R) and self.bShift):

Don't know much about Python but I guess you might change to any other key combination you wish(e.g. KB_R -> KB_W for Alt-W).

The 'enter city' button on the domestic advisor doesn't work. Just dumps you back on the game map.

That said - this is a very good mod. Thanks.

thank you, jray, for this mod. it has quickly become my default way to play!
i have one request, though, could you please update it to include sevopedia 2.2a?
i would try to merge it myself, but i don't know the first thing about python and i wouldn't want to make a mess of everything.
i especially would like to use the new options provided, as well as the newly included, and very useful for new players like myself, "replaced by mod".
thanks once again for your contributions!

lohot.

ps. i'm a bit confused about which version of the "enhanced military advisor" you're using in this mod. you mention 1.3w, but the mod itself seems to be 1.4w.

Jray, do you plan on releasing a BTS version of your modpack? Would be great.

A small thing I'd like to suggest for inclusion: The HOFMod has an option to have the grid turned on by default. I'd really like that, and I hope it shouldn't be too much work to include.

Also, I was wrong about the problems I described way earlier in the thread (missing HUD and messed up city names), they didn't go away when I upgraded from 2k to XP. Guess I just got lucky there initially. It can still happen like described, but never in the first game I start in a session or when I reload multiple times, only if I start a new game / exit to main menu / start a new game one or more times in a row (so it's not exactly like what The M'Hael described, and I don't use the other mod he mentioned, but I guess the problems are related somehow).

It's not a big problem since I don't run into it often, but since I don't get it with the unmodded game or any other mod, I thought I'd mention it.

Jray, do you plan on releasing a BTS version of your modpack? Would be great.

Seconded! although each component needs to be timely updated I guess..

 

[jray]

Dear Civvers, I'm sorry for such a long absence, and I'm glad to see that most of the questions about the mod have been resolved. Thanks for helping each other out, and for the great feedback!

Although I would love to tweak this modpack per your suggestions and even work on a BTS mod in the future, I don't think I will have the time. Life is good-- I just have different hobbies now.

Please feel free to use any or all of the code as a basis for future mods or modpacks. And if anyone feels inclined to take over support for the modpack, or re-name it accordingly, etc., please do!

Cheers!

All the best to you, jray, and thanks for your work.

I cannot see any text in the menu. When I try it in Standalone mode I can see only a bit of text. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Thank you!!

Enjoy you new hobbies jray !

edit: I found the problem --> It is the language. I was playing with German language. Now everything works fine.
