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

[dsquared]

is it really that big??? crapola youre right thats pretty hefty

edit- ok now i really have to study, test in 2 hours this is pretty exciting, well maybe i will play one game...

 

[JBG]

Look upon our works, ye mighty, and despair!

58 megs?!??!?

How come when matthewv posts it we get 15 megs? What the heck did you add? mp3s? Lots of them?

 

[dsquared]

compressed its 15, unzipped it is 58 graphics take up a big chunk, dds apparently is an inefficient compression format

 

[woodelf]

Whew. 58 megs would take me 3 hours to download!

 

[JBG]

Nope. Perhaps there are multiple copies of art files running around. That might go some way to explaining it.

But remember that when Matthewv posts it, he posts *.rar files one Filegone. You can't post *.rar files on Civfanatics, and I don't have an account on Filegone. Also, you can't post files larger than 3 megs, so I had to split it up into smaller *.rars compressed into slightly less small *.zips. But as I said, some kind person might be able to link me to a complete version sometime soon

 

[dsquared]

im getting lots of pink graphics for unit buttons and leaderheads/./

and it just crashed on me....

 

[JBG]

Probably because you haven't downloaded all the files...

 

[matthewv]

you don't need a filegone account to upload on filegone. Stilll working on getting the mod uploaded properly

Files takes up 15 meg when in rar archive

 

[dsquared]

no the problem is unit and button art zip has duplicate terrain4 rar and resources 2 rar, ah the problems with 3meg limit

 

[matthewv]

Yes I noticed that his art folders were to complete. vesion that will be up should work better. (hopefully)

OKay, currently uploading

 

[JBG]

I'm uploading the rar to Filegone, but the loading bar fills up and nothing happens! I've been waiting for ten minutes and the button still says 'uploading'! What do I do?

It takes a while if you have a slow connection.
are you uploading moon_map.py with yours?

 

[dsquared]

did you guys include the moon_map.py in that upload, that is critical

 

[matthewv]

The one that I am uploading has it.

 

[JBG]

I've placed it directly on the site at the end of the first post.

And I'm on 256kb DSL! I am, however, on AOL. Might that have something to do with it?

 

[dsquared]

AOL = horribly slow it is the bane of all things computing and must be destroyed

and put that up at the top where the downloads are so they get that instead of the broken ones

 

[matthewv]

I have my upload version posted on the alpha thread.
Link to mod

@JBG
Edit you first post on the alpha thread to explain what to do with the map script file.

 

[dsquared]

hmm, he gets a crash and then runs away to let us deal with it Unfortunatly I am at school so I could not test it before I posted it. I am solely relying on you guys to do that.
