[UPDATE: 27 October 2007] New version of Civ4 HoF Mod released for version 1.74. HOF-Mac-1.74.002. This version will be REQUIRED for GOTM 24, opening 1 November 2007. We have released new versions of the HoF Mod for Mac. They include lots of features and bug fixes ported across from the latest Windows versions of the mod. The new versions will be required if you wish to play all future GOTM/WOTM/SGOTM competition games, including WOTM 18. NOTE: They will still not permit you to submit Hall of Fame entries. Mod Feature Set The mods provide a suite of enhancements, in the same way as the Windows HoF Mod, with three extra Options screens to allow you to enable, disable and configure them. They include most of the usability features of the Windows HoF Mod, omitting a few which are HoF-specific and/or dependent on the Windows DLL. Included: Autolog CIV4lerts Specialist Stacker (vanilla only, as Warlords has stacked specialists as standard) Exotic Foreign Adviser Modified Special Domestic Adviser NEW Enhanced Unit Icons Clock Turn Text Reminders Flashing End-of-Turn Text Excluded: HoF MapFinder (irrelevant) HOF Settings options and warnings (irrrelevant) Main screen options (need the DLL) Map rescaling (needs the DLL) Lots of bugs Vanilla Version - HOF-Mac-1.74.002 Download it HERE Installation The mod is a simple ZIP file. Expand it (or let Safari expand it) to produce a folder, and put this folder in the /Civilization IV/Mods/ folder. This Mods folder is in the same directory as your Civilization IV application. Loading You have two options to load the mod: 1. Launch Civ4, click Advanced, click Load A Mod, select 'HOF-Mac-1.74.002'. Civ4 will tell you it has to restart to load the mod. Let it do so and then start a game in the usual way. 2. Set it as your default mod by editing your ~/Documents/Civilization IV/CivilizationIV.ini file in TextEdit. Find the comment line: ; Specify a Mod folder (Mods\Mesopotamia), '0' for none Change the line below it from: Mod=0 to: Mod=HOF-Mac-1.74.002 Save the edited file. Civ4 will then load the mod at startup, avoiding the need for the double start. Warlords Version - HOF-Mac-2.13.001 Download it HERE Installation The mod is a simple ZIP file.

It initially has all the enhancements disabled. Use the checkboxes on the HOF1 to HOF3 tabs to try out the extra goodies. Please check out the details and the links in the Credits section on this HoF site page for details of what the various enhancements do. Please let me know if you have any issues with these mods.

Hey Alan... looks really cool... A few questions... - If you load the mod in the /Civ4 game directory, does the game still load what's in CustomAssets in ~/Documents? - At first, I placed the mod in the ~/Documents/Civ directory and couldn't call up Civlopedia or Options... moved it to where you said it needs to be... was able to get them from the main screen but can't call up from in-game... that or any of the advisors? Thanks!
What are you trying to load from CustomAssets? I think you can use graphics like BlueMarble with the HoF Mod, but nothing that changes the game logic.
PLEASE NOTE: The following note has been added to the first post in this thread. [UPDATE: 14 April 2007] New version of Warlords HoF Mod released. HOF-Mac-2.08.005. Fixes City Zoom feature in Domestic Adviser. This version will be REQUIRED for WOTM 08, opening 15 April 2007.
Is any one else having trouble connecting to the HOF site? I've tried on multiple computers at different locations and it times out. No firewall or proxy settings enabled. http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ4/mod.php
I've been thinking about trying to build a MapFinder program for the Mac version of Civ, but I'm not sure if it is feasible. Does anyone know if the HOF MapFinder feature relies on the DLL?
Hello, welcome Yes, the HOF MapFinder does rely on a DLL. However, that's not to say that a MapFinder without a DLL is impossible - I have no idea whether it could be done using Python.
When I try to use this HOF mod on the Mac version of Warlords, it doesn't seem to work. For either the saved GOTM or starting a new game while the mod is loaded, I get no interface, no options menu, etc. I suspect that I am missing match 2.13, but I can't seem to find it to download. Can somebody point me to this patch?
Hello, welcome Version 2.13 of Warlords is not yet available for the Mac. You should be able to use the Warlords version of the HoF Mod with version 2.08. If you are seeing no interface then the mod is not loading. I suggest you enable Python error logging in the ~/Documents/Civilization IV Warlords/CivilizationIV.ini file by changing LoggingEnabled from 0 to 1. Then start up a game, and post the ~/Documents/Civilization IV Warlords/Logs/PythonErr.log text file contents here.

It looks as though you may have put the mod in the wrong /Mods/ directory, since the game can't find the Settings file. The installation instructions in the first post state that it must go in " .... the /Civilization IV/Warlords/Mods/ folder. This Mods folder is in the same directory as your Civilization IV Warlords application." Note that you need to find the /Mods/ folder in the same directory as your Warlords application, NOT the one where the alias to Warlords lives.
