Need help with GOTM34...

[General Joey]

I keep getting "Error: /Art/eqWorker/eqWorker.INI not found" or something like that. I have Civ3(Vanilla)1.29f, and have Snoopy's terrain mod.
It's the Conquest one btw.

:hi: Welcome to CFC & to the GOTM.

Ok - is this right at the start of the game?

If you have Play The World, I suggest that you download the Play The World version of the GOTM 34. Otherwise, you will need to download and install a number of graphics mod packs. If you don't have PTW, post back here and I'll give you the links to the files you need.

Edit - looks like you've logged-off. Here are the Civ 1.29f instructions. After installing these packs, you may need to change your resources.pcx graphics as well, so I've tacked the instructions for that on to the end. They're a bit long-winded, but I hope they are follow-able.




You need to download and install some game packs that add some different
units, resources and civilizations to the game.

You can get the install packs at the following links:

GOTM 21 Full setup:

GOTM22 Add-On Setup:
http://gotm.civfanatics.net/games/saves/gotm22_v129_add_on_setup.exe

GOTM23 Add-on Setup:

GOTM24 Add-On Setup:

GOTM 25 Add-On Setup:

All you need to do is download these, and then install them in the order
that you download them. The key point is to make sure that when the
installer asks where you want to install to, that you make sure that it
installs to the directory where you installed Civ to in the first place.

You will also find that when you try to play 'normal' games, the resources
pictures will be all messed-up. This is because the GOTM installs a
different resources picture. Unfortunately, this means that when you want
to play a normal game, you need to swap yuor resources.pcx file.

The GOTM install package actually provides a readme file on how to do this
(its fairly simple), but if you have any problems with either the
installation of these files, changing the resources.pcx files or any error
messages playing the game of the month, then please don't hesitate to e-
mail or send a PM to myself or one of the GOTM staff.

The Civ3 and Civ3PTW executable programs will always look in your /Art folder to try and find a two files to install resource graphics in your game. The two files are named:

resources.pcx
resources_shadows.pcx

and they must be matched together for the resources to work properly. Many graphics mods for resources (including the out of the box PTW version) just ignore the shadows that can be used to increase the contrast and ease of visibility of the resources.)

Since these files always have to be named the same thing even if they contain lots of different graphics options, the easiest way to keep track of the files is to store them inside a folder that gives a clear indication of what type of resources graphics are inside the folder even though all the actual filename are the same.

We have provided these resource graphics files to you inside a folder called "resources storage". This folder comes to you complete with three subfolders of resources graphics that are labeled:
"gotm20 plain"
"gotm20 w letters smilies"
"gotm20 w letters smilies and bonus"

each folder contains a copy of the resources.pcx and resources_shadows.pcx files that will install and run that type of graphics in your Gotm20 game.

NOTE: NONE OF THE REQUIRED GRAPHICS FILES ARE INSTALLED UNTIL YOU COMPETELY FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

First look in your Civilization III/Art folder and locate your original files named "resources.pcx" and "resources_shadows.pcx". You want to cut an past or drag and drop these files into the folder that has been provided in your "resources storage" folder and named "my original resources folder". This folder wil lallow you to reclaim a copy of your original resource craphics and easily place them back into the correct position so that any other Civ3 game will run without any conflicts.

If you would like to install the plain but contrast enhanced resource graphics, all you need to do is open the folder titled "resources storage" and then open the folder titled "gotm20 plain" and copy the two pcx files inside. Tab back up two steps until you are inside the "Art" folder. Inside this folder paste in a copy of the two files that you selected and they will replace any existing "resources.pcx" and "resources_shadows.pcx" files and now you will be ready to play Gotm20.

All three versions of the resources graphics are available for you to freely use in your game and you can switch around and try the three different versions as much as you like. All three versions have been fully tested in the Gotm20-Spain game. It's your GOTM game, you make the choice of which graphics are right for you.

You must use one of the three supplied version of the resource graphics to successfully play the game. The special resources for the Gotm20 game will not work with any other Civ3 or PTW game outside of Gotm20-Spain. To load and play other standard Civ3v1.29 games that have not been upgraded to be compatible with PTW, you will need to follow a similar procedure to reach down into your "resources storage" folder and get a copy of your original graphics files. You may switch back and forth as often as you like as long as you pay attention to the name of the folder where you select the resource graphics from.
