Quot Capita: Majesty

[The_J]

That doesn't affect anything, unless you put the absolute path into the .thm files.


Oh, and nice to see that still people are starting new projects .

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Yeah I love Civ4 and always wanted to mod it, so it made me happy when I finally figured out how.

But this error is bugging me. I don't get it on my version unless I try to rename the mod's foldier to anything other than Quot Capita, and if Kungfudan and others are getting the error despite this than I'm not sure what the problem is.

 

[kungfudan]

That may be why, my version has the main civ4 foldier name as Sid Meier's Civilization 4.
Ill see if I can't fix this for all, in the meantime try renaming your Civ4 foldier, and let me know what happens.

Gave it a try, same error.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

sigh...this isn't how I wanted to make my civ4 modding debut.

Anyway...anyone know of what could be causing this problem and how it could be fixed?

I don't experience the error myself, but I do notice it will come up if I rename the mod foldier to anything else. I also noticed that this started when I changed the mainmenu.xml. Before this I could change the name of the mod foldier.

Any help would be appreciated and I apologize to anyone for this not working.

 

[The_J]

Might be worth checking, what there is actually mentioned in the files in the resouce folder (both civ4theme.thm in the themes and themes/civ4 folder; no, I'm not sure which one is the right one, I think I might have messed something up on my system).

 

[AbsintheRed]

Yep, The_J is right. This error is usually a simple path problem:
Mods that modify the theme should not go in the My Games location. They should go in the mods folder under where the game is actually installed. The game .exe itself fails to find and load any theme files (and possibly anything in the Resource folder) if it is put under My Games.

EDIT: Also, don't expect to be able to change the mod's folder name. That should be fix

Alright ill update the directions to account for this.

Thankyou both of you.

Hi all
I was interested in this mod because I really loved extra but wanted more from other great mods but have a problem.
I can't even download the mod...
Here is the error message:

That isn't right...I just checked the download, it should be working.

 

[Einherjar777]

I have just retried and it doesn't want to download.
I click on the part one which leads to filefront
Then I click on, the download button
And I have the error message I posted before.
First time it does it to me
I don't understand why i can't get my hands on that file
Every times I retries ends up the same way!!!

Installation instructions:

0. Make sure your main Civ4 directory is called Sid Meier's Civilization 4, not Civ4 or CivIV. Also this mod DOES NOT go in the My Games location.

Actually this is not important, you can have your Civ IV installed under whatever name you want.

Place it in the mods folder under where the game is actually installed. Example: C: /Program Files(x86)/Firaxis Games/Sid Meier's Civilization 4/Beyond the Sword/Mods

This is the important thing
Put your mod where your Civ IV is actually installed, like in the example above
(so not under Documents/My Games/... or any other similar place created by Steam or your operation system)

I don't understand why filefront would be blocked on your internet(that could be the problem), if its from your computer you may be able to unblock and access the files. I hope that helps.

Also on a related note thankyou AbsintheRed for clarifying. I updated my first post.

SoG, just as a sanity check, have you tried unpacking and running the mod from your rar files? It looks like you manually packed the rar files and it may be as simple as a directory or file being missed or misplaced or something. If that is the case, the "Split to volumes" option in 7zip would make the process easier and more reliable.

 

[The_J]

Don't understand that either, but it might be the problem.
Seems some countries block/have problems with certain downloading portals.
While you first might think that these would be countries with special restrictions, it also seems to apply for e.g. France .

7zip is a good idea. I haven't tried the rar files, but I was very careful with how they were split up and I did double check before I uploaded.'

I would have liked to upload the entire thing as one part, but it would take forever to upload to Atomicgamer, and Filefront has a size limit which would make it impossible.

 

[Einherjar777]

Indeed my country France is in the list of banned countries
I can't download anything from gamefront!!!!
By the way, have you tried to host the entire mod on Moddb? I use lots of mods from various games from this site and it host large files.
Why not give it a try?

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

That is a great idea. I'll try uploading there. I'm sorry that you can't use filefront Einherjar777, maybe its for the best though, if I can upload the mod somewhere as one download I think that would be better for everyone anyway.

By the way It will be a new version too. Flavor units for the Phoenicians, Vietnam, a couple more civilizations(one is brand new never before seen on this forums).

 

[Drakarska]

Nice! can't wait to get it.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I apologize for the wait.

Error I get:

GFC Error: failed to initialize the primary control theme

The problem is that ...\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Quot Capita\Resource\Civ4.thm points to Rise of Erebus mod. I suppose that those having it in their mods folder won't get any error.

A quick and easy solution is to open Civ4.thm with a text editor and change the references from

// Set the resource 
resource_path	"Mods/Rise from Erebus/Resource";

// Setup common properties
include		"Mods/Rise from Erebus/Resource/Themes/Civ4/Civ4Theme.thm";

to

// Set the resource 
resource_path	"Mods/Quot Capita/Resource";

// Setup common properties
include		"Mods/Quot Capita/Resource/Themes/Civ4/Civ4Theme.thm";
