Next War Resources

[MajorWinters]

Ok, so i just spent the morning looking for an answer to these questions and couldn't find even one to my great surprise.
1) Why don't resources get used up in the Next War mod (the senerio AND the epic), 2) Is it possible to actually code this in so that resources will get used up, not only in the Next War mod but in any mod/map you desire,
3) how would one go about getting Carter's 32 civ Earth mod playable using the Next war techs, units, and of course the disappearing resources?
Anyone who could help, i'd appreciate a lot.

Does anyone know how to help me with this problem?

Just load up Next War like normal, click Single Player, then Custom Scenario and you should be able to pick any map. (I do it all the time with Carter Earth.)

How did you do that? It says "can't find such and such file for map" when i try what you just suggested. Where did you put the carter map and files? And anyway that wouldn't include the resources depletion, right now it only is available in the Next War Senerio.

Come on people, someone has to know the answer to this.

Does no one frequent these forums anymore?

No, but nobody plays Next War (scenario) anymore (due to the cracked like an egg event after too many nukes). I've been wondering about this too because no resources disappeared when I played Next War way back when, but I don't think anyone knows the answer to your question.

Try searching the terms "Resource Depletion" and "Cracked Like an Egg" there are instructions available for changing the XML files to make resources dissapear faster.

Also check out JKP's Mod for Next War (called "Not Another Next War Mod") it was great before the 3.17, and 3.19 updates. You could always downgrade your version to 3.13 and then you would be able to play it. It has resource depletion and gets rid of the Cracker like an egg nonsense. I think it also has over 18 Civs too (I don't remember for sure). I love next War, and I always play with the Next War Mod on (I just turn off "Cracked like an egg"... it sucks).

Here is a link to the Mod
Anyway good luck
