RFC Epic

Heyo. I was just trying to find a place to download this mod for BtS, and the link to file planet seems dead. Is there any other location that I can find this mod so I might give it a run? I'll write up any bugs I happen to find and post them here, I promise...

And if it's been removed because you're fixing it, do you have any idea when it might be back up? I'd really *really* like to play it...
 
It is indeed currently down. And I do not intend on reuploading until I have fixed it, but I will check around and see if maybe the BtS version is still on my computer, as I plan on uploading Vanilla first, and then Warlords, and then BtS, so it may take a while.

EDIT: I found a version of RFC Epic BtS. I think it is the latest version but I am not sure, I have uploaded it anyways. I think it should work. If not, I am sorry but you're just going to have to wait ;).
 
Hm, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working, the game crashes right as the mod starts to load. It seems to be based off RFC 1.07

Should you happen to find a newer version, I'd really love to try it out, otherwise thanks for looking.

I would also perhaps encourage working on the BtS version before vanilla and warlords, as it would seem more people would play the former.

Just a thought...
 
The Problem with working on a BtS version first is that the mod switcher I am trying to integrate into the mod, TheLopez's Great Options Mod, was never created for BtS or even warlords that I can see. So I intend to merge it for Vanilla to test it to see if it works with RFC, and then go up the ladder redesigning the Great Options Mod for the different versions.

I'm sorry about the BtS version I uploaded not working, its the only one I could find other than a few I knew were far older. It probably isn't updated for the most recent BtS patch. I believe it is for the patch before said most recent one if you really want to play.
 
About when will RFC epic be updated?
 
The spimlest answer is; I don't know.

I'm working on it though, after a bit of looking it doesn't seem that the Great Options Mod will have any conflicts with RFC (Beyond Compare 2 is the greatest program EVER. Seriously.)

It is with great pleasure that i announce that I have just, for the first time in a few months now, loaded up CodeBlocks, loaded the Civ 4 SDK into, and hit Build*. Hopefully before the night is out I will have a working version of RFC Epic merged with the Great Options Mod to give you guys.

NOTE: this will only be the vanilla version. The Great Options mod only comes in Vanilla Flavour apparently, so I will have to convert it over to Warlords and Beyond the Sword myself. It doesn't look like it will be too difficult, as TheLopez is a genius when it comes to documenting his code, but if I do run into problems it will likely be several days if not weeks before I solve them, as I am not nearly as good of a programmer as I would like, and the SDK is reall complicated. As I said, I am hoping there are no conflicts.

*Story abridged for dramatic purposes, I actually needed to change quite a few settings first ;).

EDIT: So, yeah. When I made the 'by tonight' claim, I hadn't quite looked at the python code for the Great Options Mod. Now, its confusing, even before factoring in that I don't actually understand anything about Python. This may take me a coupe of days.
 
I think I will, The Great options mod has an insanely complex CustomEventManager.py file. I'm not sure if I will ever be able to merge it. I'm going to keep trying though. But I think I'm going to have to manually check each individual line because the main difference between the two files is you don't tab your code over as far as TheLopez did.

Never fear though, this isn't dead. Its only mostly dead. Consult Miracle Max.
 
I'm going to keep tinkering with it, but I have definitely abandoned the idea of merging it any time soon. I'm hoping to have the BtS version of Epic (since that is clearly what most people play) ready for upload by Wednesday at the latest.

I'm sorry to everyone about the download links breaking, that seems to happen after about a month to any filefront upload. I might go looking for a different download manager but it needs to be free.

Though, Rhye, you can upload stuff to the Civ Fanatics database despite being over the 10 Megabyte limit, how is that? or is there no limit anymore and I just didn't wait long enough the last time I tried? DO you need special privileges or something?
 
Then should Vishaing send his files to Rhye, and Rhye can upload them?

PS. Vishaing, your sig is way too long, I think ye should fix it before moderators find this forum.
 
@Rhye Then would you mind if I sent you the files for uploading?

I can write up a blurb for the upload description so you can just copy and paste it in. Is there anything else you would require?
 
Generally I don't think RFC Epic has even been much larger than normal RFC. It shouldn't be, since the only place I ever added anything was in the CIV4GameSpeed.xml file, (and that was only for Vanilla and Warlords), all of the other places I just doubled/halved the numbers, which while that should increase size slightly, it should be negligible.

If it's too much trouble I can always just upload it to Filefront the way I have been doing.

I haven't actually had time to work on updating yet, I just got back to work, but one of the old RFC Epic versions I have is about the same size as a matching RFC version.

RFC: 67 Mb
RFC EPIC: 69 Mb

This is without compressing the files into a zip, which I would do before I sent them to you.
