Rallying call for all interested: Colonisation of the Moon mod!

[dsquared]

Can you post your ArtDefines Terrain XML? I think that is what is screwed up

 

[matthewv]

Okay here is the terrain art defines xml

 

[woodelf]

If I click on Jungle it says "fresh water"!

Is this the same file as before? I'm almost positive that's what I'm using, but I'll try again....

edit : Are there any files you've fiddled with since Friday?

 

[dsquared]

still is not working for me

 

[woodelf]

Looking at the Civ4ArtDefines_Terrain and then looking at the dds files they don't match-up. The PlainsBLEND does, but none of the other ones are the same. I'm assuming if I rename the dds files it will locate the correct art and all will be well in the world.

 

[dsquared]

let me know how that goes, dont know why it would work on his machine and not on ours...

 

[woodelf]

matthew - It looks easy enough to fix, but I want to make sure I get it exactly as you had it. There are 9 entries in the XML file and 8 sets of dds files with 1 "noterrain".

 

[matthewv]

@woodelf
Okay I give up trying to figure out why yours does not work and mine does I will send you a copy of my working mod to you by email and hopefully that one will work. after you tried it you can add the xmls that you changed.

@dsquared
can you pm me your email so I can sent you a working copy?

 

[woodelf]

It's bizarr-o and I can't explain it.

I noticed something else that is odd

There are crateredblend, cratereddetail, and crateredgrid dds files, but only craterimblend and craterrimgrid dds files. Should there be a craterrimdetail file?

 

[matthewv]

dont worry about that for now because none currently no art exists for those files.

Edit: sorry but the file is to big to email I will upload it to filegone and pm you the location

 

[woodelf]

Hold off sending your file for a second.

What is the ArtDefines_Terrain file getting? It's going to the 10 meg files you sent, right? Don't the dds file names have to be the same? That's where I'm lost. It wouldn't surprise me if this mod worked different on different computers to be honest, but I'm trying to understand the code...

 

[matthewv]

Look at the bottom of the xml file. the names for the art defines in the botton half of the xml should match the file names of the terrain I posted.

Edit:
@woodelf,dsquared
check your pm

Well now I feel pretty damned dumb!

It doesn't explain why I see lakes, but I feel a little better.

 

[dsquared]

now i get a civ4 fatal error crash when i try to start a custom game with moon_map ugh with your version of the mod

 

[matthewv]

woah everyone. hold everything. There are some files missing from the mod i posted that I have apparentally been using. I deleted by customassest folder and I get lakes everywhere. Now to find the file you guys are missing that I have.

 

[dsquared]

I knew you had some stuff stashed somewhere we werent getting

I don't mean to laugh, but that's a hidden bonus to dial-up. I'm only 7% done!

Who's using Blue Marble Terrain? Could that be the problem? I am.

Those damned Custom Assets! Whew, I'm glad dsquared and I aren't insane!

 

[dsquared]

OK, well figure out terrain later. we need to hammer out units and waht beats what, rock paper scissors

 

[woodelf]

If you give me some unit names and if they're foot, tracked, skimmer, or recon I'll XML them up and then we can give them stats and prereq techs.
