Rise of Darkness

I updated my intructions to make them more clear, I think that that may have been the problem if you follow the current instructions it should work. If the problems contine then I'll try to figure out if there was anything wrong, as opposed to my poor instructions,

Still does nto work for me and i am not using winzip, so could you tell me if i am meant to overwrite or merge files?

Also, what files should be in the root of:
program files\Fraxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\beyond the sword\mods\Rise of Darkness?


After following your instruction, i have Assets, python, public maps, resource and xml forders and Fall from Heaven 2 034 config file, rise of darkness config file, ffH editor.xlsm Civ4leaderheadinfo, Fall from Heaven shortcut, readme and icon - is this right?

I think that I have it this time. The Python and XML folders should go into the Assets folder and replace the files in there. You were putting them into the folder for the mod itself. I'll update my instructions again, sorry about the lack of description.
 
Another strange thing I saw was that if a freak is upgraded into a shapeshifter it will get mutated again. It will also get mutated over and over every time it shapeshifts.

I am now extracting the download package to the /assets folder and it still does not work for me. I start the mod by:

1) loading up BTS
2) loading a custom mod (Rise of Darkness)
3) eveything says it loads fine but there are no new races

Can i suggest that you ask Kael, Vehem or Xienwolf for the installer they use. I believe it is a opensource application so hopefully it wont incur any cost.
 
I would use that installer but it can't be attached to the civfanatics and I don't know any other way. (I just thought I had got the NSIS working when I accidently wrote over everything I had done since the last release :()

Anyways I just can't see what you have wrong. The only thing I can thing of is that your computer isn't replacing the files. My final idea (for now) is that you could try to delete the XML and Python files inside of the Rise of Darkness folder and then install my mod.

That worked - cheers :)
 
It's been a while, but I remember having to fool around with installation before getting it right. I think I ended up extracting to a folder on the desktop and then dropping it onto the base mod.

Just out of curiousity: what would happen if I played Cult of Nikito with a different (unrestricted) leader? Or used Nikito as leader of another civ?
 
I would personally never use Nikito with another civ (unless I wanted a challenge). All of the features of the Cult of Nikito are connected to the civ not the leader. Although I might play the Cult with a different leader just so that I could get some extra traits right out of the gate. The only drawback to this is that the civ is very depentant upon money for their unit upgrades and using a leader without ING would be quite hard.
 
Just a small little notice:

I am still working on the modmod (ideawise) and will put it on for Ice shortly after it becomes stable or when I finally finish the scenarios. A few things I'm playing around with that will get into the next version are Introducing Odio, adding more upgradable heroes, letting the sheaim reserect the four horsemen, rounding off the tier 4 Cult of Nikito units and adding more text. I will be posting bits of the text over the next few days.

Pedia for Library of Souls (Will become a national wonder, works like the civ unique buildings such as hall of mirrors and blasting workshop):

Spoiler :
Angela lay dying on the battlefield. She her soldiers all around her falling to the vampire who had just slain her, fellow young men and women trying to defend the border of the Cult. The world grew hazy as she slipped in and out of conciousness and she became aware that she was leaving her body.

In the place where she had gone she could only dream. Some dreams were peaceful and others dark and haunted. Some dreams were her memories such few she had left that it seemed as that life had been the dream. Angela thought she enjoyed the experiance for the time that she could not percive but she couldn't tell that either.

One day she heard a voice speaking in her dreams, it was familiar to her but she couldn't remember who or what it was...

Nikito looked around searching for something inside one of the soul-books. This task was deemed rather booring by the other schollars in the library of souls. Most who worked there believed this because they never truely read the soul-books. They were only able to look at summary, a small picture of the person and their life. Otherwise they were only allowed to see how they died and give the important ones to Nikito.

One book on this day was the book of Angela, a skilled warrior who died around the age of twenty defending the border from a Calabim army.

Back in her dream Angela was able to hear very little of what the voice said

"Ahh, this one is very beautiful. Also quite skilled at fighting too. I wonder, could she be one I was looking for..."

Nikito took her book out of the binding and attached it to another, larger tome. At that moment Angela awoke.
 
Cyther... i Like your idea for the Library of Souls (lorewise) i might steal it as a unique feature for the Age of despair, which, under your control, prevents your people's souls be resurected as manes.
 
Great. I'm looking forward to the next version.
 
same problem as willgar above except i did this made a rise o darkness folder in civ 4 bts mod folder extracted rise of darkness files to it added the copy of fall from heaven to it though im updated to patch q
now i c the above text so that should help me
 
The way that you are describing your problem looks like you are using the .40 version of Rise of Darkness. The current version that I posted is for .34 and I am having updating problems involving the Infernal civ so a new version will be out shortly.
 
i used the one that is currently on here i think its .13 so yea that might be it
btw where can i get the .40 version


ps i figured out that i didnt load the "actual mod for rise of darkness" but now when i do i get "gfc error cannot load main script or something like that
 
I haven't finished the .40 version mostly due to two types of Ice, the final version of FfH and the frozen water stuff comming from the sky and wiping out my power repeatedly.

So anyways I don't have a .40 version yet :(, but welcome to Civ Fanatics'.
