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

[matthewv]

Okay I found the problem. Since I had a different terrain art defines the you guys in my custom assets folder it was using that one instead and apparently it works and the other one does not. (don't ask me why the seem exactly the same. Just replace your terrain art defines xml with this one and the lakes should disappear.

Edit: It wont upload file since It says I have already uploaded it

And buttons! Anyone want to volunteer for building buttons? The ones now are Vanilla and at least don't show up pink.

I'm in the process of doing the units now.

 

[matthewv]

Okay now I got it.

@dsquared
Your problem seens to come from your Moon_Map script file, try deletiny your old one and downloading the one I posted earlier today. make sure you stick it in the public maps folder were you installed civ 4.

 

[woodelf]

Great work team! A problem solved.

 

[matthewv]

That was a really wierd problem since both files looked identical right down to the last time modified.

 

[woodelf]

I think it was the same file. It has the same date, time, ect. And I'm still getting lakes. Bugger.

I'm not going to let this deter me from feeling good about the mod. We'll get it figured out. Unless dsquared got his working and then I'm the oddball.

 

[dsquared]

it fixed half the problems, peaks are now gray lakes are still there and still no craters

 

[matthewv]

Sorry I just realized that was not the file you guys were missing
Ill keep looking.

 

[woodelf]

Ill keep looking.

We know it exists, so that's good. Don't despair matthew!

 

[matthewv]

Okay I found It. stick this file in the xml folder.

Edit: I forgot the I had changed this file and did not expect it to be causing our problems but it was

 

[woodelf]

A fresh for matthewv!

Thanks man.

 

[matthewv]

actually you can also replace this file with the one that is already there and it will do the same thing.

Let me know if this works.

Edit: Well now I now that the custom assets folder also overrides everything even when you have a mod loaded

@dsquared
so now you finally managed to load the Moon_Map script? can you post a screen shot while you are in a game.

 

[woodelf]

The first one worked. I think the 2nd is one that I modified to get the game to work with the help of Kael.

 

[dsquared]

i still dont get craters but it appears to be working

 

[woodelf]

On the bright side.....I have can completely load the game all the way through Leonard Nimoy's spiel and get no errors of any kind! There is still an odd error when you exit, but it doesn't crash me.

 

[matthewv]

I want the XML file you changed. I hate all the errors I get.

 

[dsquared]

ditto waht matthew said

 

[woodelf]

It's about 12 files, but I can send them via email if you want. You'll have to figure out where to put them though.

edit : I packaged up the entire XML folder only since it's tiny ~ 100kb. The artfolder would kill my dial-up!

 

[woodelf]

Bear in mind that you three (since I emailed it to JBG as well) will get a few extra pink buttons. I'll eventually package up the buttons, but not tonight.

I did tweak some prereq on buildings and units. But, we need to work on when improvements can be built, when resources are revealed, ect.

 

[dsquared]

got the new XML, looking good
