Rhye's of Civilization - the fastest loading mod Expanded - PART II

[iNDUSTRIALg0D]

your directory structure must look like this:

i appreciate the help Rhye. in all actuality all I had to do was move the XF, X, and self titled, folders to my conquest\scenarios folder where i was keeping the ?biqs? i like to keep all my mods, scens, and maps all in the same folder together.

one other thing: the map. the map when i get a look at it in the editor is kinda patchy meaning there are "bordering" spots of old terrain shining thru all over the map. is this some kind of glitch in the version? my computer? or perhaps the rhye's terrain greener graphics mod that i am currently running?

 

[Rhye]

if you see spots of old terrain it means that something isn't working in the directory structure.
I don't understand why you moved folders around: XF, F and self titles are already placed in the scenarios folder by the installer.

you were right man, i reorganized my folders and for some reason it made all those patchy spots disappear. Oddly enough, the gold diamonds remain. And one other thing, because the ?biq? is not in the conquests\scenarios folder it is no longer listed when i try to load it up in the civcontent menu. (i have complete) hmm...

 

[Rhye]

the gold diamonds are shown in the editor, but aren't shown ingame if "show food and shields on the map" isn't selected. Remember to uncheck that.

The biq goes into the conquests\scenarios folder. I don't know about something different about C3Complete...
Of course, the biq must have their correct search paths (I remember you said you changed that)

with a good bit of fudging with the search path i got the biqs to work in conquests\scenario folder. man is that search path a *****. it won't let you enter the full conquests\scenarios\rhye's of civilization\etc. bit. it starts the search for the folder in the immediate folder the biq is in. also, i'm not a complete and total idiot rhye i know what a food and shield icon are supposed to look like on the map. these are random gold diamonds strewn across the map. they used to show up where the "patchy" parts i was talking about were. actually i do recall seeing these before. it was on thamis' TAM mod i believe, he used them to clarify the difference between the sahara and regular desert. it was kind of cool because the sahara was a separate terrain.

Listen, I haven't insulted you.
My map is full of "separate" terrain types that aren't to be shown to the player. Uncheking food and shield setting will hide them.
Food and shields aren't to be shown as well because of invisible resources that alter the values (so you would get incorrect information). You can see them from the city screen.

If the biq is in conquests\scenarios folder and the subfolders are there too, what's the problem?

The correct string is:
"Rhye's of Civilization X;Rhye's of Civilization XF;Rhye's of Civilization"

 

[iNDUSTRIALg0D]

you right, the "golden diamonds" don't even show up in the game. jeez i should pay more attention. if i haven't offended you too much may i partake in a question? i am creating my own scenario and having trouble with the search path. my scenario uses ptw and conquest data. is that possible? cuz when i get to starting up a game it only chooses to find half of the data (ptw or conquests), whichever one is listed first on the search path. i have swapped them around a dozen times and i am also using the rise of rome scenario data so that makes it even more annoying.

 

[Rhye]

use the ";" between the paths, with no spaces. I don't know if it works with ..\..\ etc. I've never tried.

But does RoX work now?

I have a problem installing this mod:

Got a load error: FILE NOT FOUND: "Art\advisors\NP_all.pcx"

I've disinstalled civ3 completely even deleting manually the infogrames active folder and still the message crops up. I've disinstalled and reinstalled rhye's over seven times already.

I try to install the expanded pack. Then I install a patch v.123 in the /infogrames active/civilization III/conquests/scenario folder and still doesn't work.

Also when I install Civ3 I've tried it installing patches for civ vanilla, PtW and C3C and I still get the same load error.

I'm using original american CR-ROMS and the game plays flawlessly. I've also installed other mods for C3C before and haven't had any problems.

PLEASE HELP ME !

 

[Rhye]

drakan, have you updated conquests to 1.22?
It is compulsory.

 

[Drakan]

Yes version 1.22

 

[Rhye]

have you tried reading the faq?

http://rhyesciv.uw.hu/index2.php?nev=faq.html

that file is here anyway
http://rhyesciv.uw.hu/NP.zip
to be unzipped in the scenarios folder, but I doubt that this would solve the problem.

 

[Drakan]

Yes I copied and pasted that problem from your F.A.Q. I've disinstalled and reinstalled several times the basic and expanded to no avail. I really wanted to play this mod. Thanks.

I'll try that file.

Now I am giving it a try with one city in Europe.

Exciting, though it is clear that some goals are out of possibility this way.
Or so I think, at least...

Now I am in the late 1300s and will begin to colonise slowly...
I managed to explore the Falklands before 1300!
So far I have all goals covered, but now the world is getting to a higher speed
and I am not sure how my one big city will get along with that...

I don't have the Crusades, so I keep to be kind of peaceful...

Grazie Rhye, ma non ho nè p2p nè connessione veloce.

Aspetterò con pazienza, tanto penso che con l'uscita imminente di civ4 sarà più facile trovare Conquest in inglese in giro per l'Italia.

beh puoi sempre rinominare i file...
volendo posso aiutarti dicendoti come fare, così saresti il primo a fare un patch per gli italiani (per spagnolo e tedesco l'hanno già fatta)

 

[ambrox62]

Sebbene stia cercando Conquests soprattutto per provare il ROC di cui ho letto già parecchio, con la versione inglese potrei ovviamente utilizzare anche tutto l'altro universo di mods presenti su questo forum.

Tuttavia ritengo che se la tua proposta la metti sul forum italiano troverai senz'altro qualcuno disposto a collaborare perchè, tranne me, tutti hanno conquests in italiano.

Ciao e grazie ancora.

 

[Drakan]

Molto grazie Rhye, everything working o.k. now

Can this be played in multiplayer mode over internet / LAN?
