Ottoman civ

[Dark_Jedi06]

I played my first game as the Ottomans and had no promlems.

Is there a way to globally turn off the ottoman civ so we can avoid the problem? Perhaps setting something from 1 to 0 somewhere?

Thanks

Go to the last section of Warlords/Assets/XML/Art/CIV4ArtDefines_Leaderhead.xml and change
<KFM>art/LeaderHeads/MehmedII/mehmed.kfm</KFM>
<NoShaderNIF>art/LeaderHeads/MehmedII/mehmed_noshader.nif</NoShaderNIF>
to:
<KFM>art/LeaderHeads/Sid/sid.kfm</KFM>
<NoShaderNIF>art/LeaderHeads/Sid/sid_noshader.nif</NoShaderNIF>

Let me know if that helps...
(You should get Sid instead of Mehmed, but it may not crash)

 

[Barak]

I will try it. If it works I'll be all set

Of course I will have to do it when I get home later this afternoon (no Civing from the office)

Thanks!

The leaderheads XML file is actually in Warlords/XML/Art/

I did what you suggested with the XML and it solves my problem of instant crash using the Ottomans. I am using a GEForce 4MX 420 if it matters. The big picture at the start is Sid but the little picture on the side is Mehmed II. The only other problems I used to have was the "bread only" error and seeing flood plains in the fog.

 

[Barak]

I had the same thing. Sid's big picture worked great. I can now play as the Ottomans.

thanks

I can view the leaderhead in civilopedia so does that mean it will be ok in-game?

 

[Mazzy]

i didn't have a problem playing with them or against them.

 

[CarpeDiem]

this is strange, this morning i had no problems, now i do :|

 

[Revolutionary]

Yes, look 2 posts above you.

Also, Paasky said he found the problem, something with a typo in the files for the leaderheads.

really, where and which file exactly? and did he fix it?

 

[CarpeDiem]

dude read it its easy

 

[Shablul]

For those experiencing this problem, could you please post your machine specs? A dxdiag output would be most helpful.

My game would crash within the first 50 or so turns every time I played until I took a hint from Barak's other thread in the Bugs section and played a game without Mehmed. No problems at all when there are no Ottomans.

Looking forward to the patch! Here are my specs. Hope they help.

I go into the warlords/assets/ and i have assets#.fpk and i don't see anything in any folders. I looked in warlords/custom assets/xml/art and i don't see anything in the any of the game folders. I dont see how the folders can be empty, so how come i can't see the files in the folder?

 

[Tunch Khan]

So we're waiting for the next patch to be able to have 3-D Mehmed II? Anyone know the release date?

I had the same problem with animated Mehmed.

So I made a little Bugfix for it.

File Bugfix Mehmed-CTD (Sid animated).zip
Here the animated Leaderhead of Mehmed is replaced by animated Sid (as alexman said above).

File Bugfix Mehmed-CTD (Mehmed Picture).zip
Animated Mehmed is replaced by a picture of him. I took this picture from Wikipedia.

Extract the file(s) in the Zip to the folder
My Files/My Games/Warlords/CustomAssets/XML/Art

Now you can play with or against Mehmed.

If this problem is fixed with the next patch, you just have to delete these files.

Worked like a charm. Many thanks.

The fix works great on my computer too single player. However over a LAN where both computers have the fix, Mehmed's animated head oddly appears again when you meet him and the game crashes.

 

[alexman]

Did you by any chance make the fix in your custom assets folder?

I've had the Ottomans in my game several times and I haven't had problems. I started up a quick game as the Ottomans (ie a few turns) and there were no problems.
