I'd like to do afew changes to the Greek Religion before I update, but it won't be weeks, more like days probably.

I also have some other things I've done you can look forward to:

-I added new unit artwork for Indonesia(they will no longer share Khmer's units unless absolutely necessary).
-New unit artwork for many Khmer units.
-New second UU for Indonesia and Chola
-New Flags for almost all Civilizations by Kingpin

SoG, just to perhaps allow you to feel a smidgeon of reward, I am indeed looking forward to this. I've wanted the Greek Religions (your Hellenism I presume) to be represented for ages. I don't know if any other mod does it or not, but knowing yours does tells me I'll be wearing out the desk-top icon for months to come. :]

Which flags do you still need? I'll try to track them down.

Yeah I have Hellenism(Greco-Roman religion), Nordic(Viking/Germanic), Mesoamerican, Egyptian and Zoroastrianism, all originally from the Extra Mod included, and I added Shinto and Druidism in my last update.



I want to make each religion unique and I may give them greater ties to particular civilizations, and have more unique religious units, but these are long-term plans.

Kingpin: I think I may be mistaken but Troy may be the last civilization currently included that doesn't have a flag. Is the flag named "Myrmidon" intended for Troy?

Yes, I forgot to rename it.

But please make sure you're happy with all of these flags. There were a few I wasn't totally sure of myself. If there are some that aren't up to scratch, I can always try again. After all, we'll all have to live with these flags until the following update

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Well I will definitely be testing things before I upload anything..don't want any red blobs this time.

Is there anyway you can ignore the filename thing? What version of Windows are you using(Never encountered that issue myself).

Windows provides the option to skip it. I did that, but I don't know if it will cause issues if that particular unit gets used in the game and the file can't be found.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

As long as the file wasn't deleted and is in the proper place it should work fine.

... or flags that are a solid color, crash the game completely or do other strange and unexpected things. (I did test all the flags in game to make sure there were no graphics problems).

Generally when I start the mod from the menu, it starts hovering around 16,000 memory used and does nothing for an extended period of time. What gives, does it just take a long time to start?

 

[Kingpin]

It does take a long time. I assume it's the sheer size of this mod. But I find it's worth the wait.

So far I've noticed only one flag that has the color problem you've mentioned, that is Burma's. Its all green Oo.

No crashes yet though.

Yeah it takes awile. I usually just open up an internet browser and surf while I wait.

I'm sorry it takes so long. I've learned a lot about modding Civ4 since I started late May of last year, but there is still a lot I need to learn.

Here's that flag again... I made sure the alpha channel was black and that it was saved as DDS DTX3.

Double check the flag setting too:
<bWhiteFlag>1</bWhiteFlag>

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Thankyou Kingpin. That fixed it.

Let me know if you have any requests or additions you'd like everyone before the next version.

 

[c13Garrison]

I'll withhold any requests pending the revelation of the mods full glory with your new release.

 

[Kingpin]

... Have a look at these ...

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Sounds good to me.

Kingdom: Wow those look awesome. Is that the answer to my PM?

 

[Kingpin]

If you can find enough units for all the Eras, yes. It would be awesome.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

That is partly why I tried to integrate them into some other civs(Phoenicia etc). I may move the Templars to Israel though currently they are a UU for England.
