Rise of Mankind 1.0.3

[JosEPh_II]

<snip>

3rd. Because I was getting Pink buttons I took the DDS files and put them in the ART folder. But I wasn't sure where they should go so I put them in the ART folder 1st level.

4th. Because RoM1.03 was before WoC Modules the Module would need activated thru the RoM config file. So I changed several lines in the Config file:

[CONFIG]

; Modular XML Loading
ModularLoading = 1

; Skip Main menu
SkipMainMenu = 0

; Custom Art from user folder is not loaded
NoCustomArt = 0

; Custom XML and Python from user folder are not loaded
NoCustomAssets = 1

; No Custom Scenario option in main menu
NoCustomScenario = 0

; No team play allowed
NoTeams = 0

; Read Game options from XML, not .ini
ForceGameOptions = 1

; Always start in the standard era
ForceStandardEra = 0

; Scenario file (Single player)
ForceScenario = 0

; This mod is only for single player games
SinglePlayerOnly = 0

; Allow public maps to be used with this mod
AllowPublicMaps = 1

; Mod Image file
ImageFile = 0

JosEPh

ModularLoading from 0 to 1

NoCustomAssets from 0 to 1

ForceGameOptions from 0 to 1

These 3 lines got changed in the .ini.

So you can't get RoM1.03 to load with the Modules folder added? I had trouble loading it one time. The next time I held the Shift key down during the Mods loading to clear the cache.

I have 5 test games running. Jungle camp shows up on the Main map after you build it. But the Pink square in the city screen's building rows and Research screen is still there. I should probably post a screen shot of it.

Tannery (icon/button)shows up in both the city screen and the drop down build que. But has the line TEXT_KEY_BUILDING_TANNERY next to it. And also in the Research screen.

Edit: Do you think JungeCamp needs a .nif or .kfm file? Only Butcher has the .nif, Tannery doesn't and it shows up fine.
Or could it be the RoM_Building_Atlas file needs to be "fixed".
I don't know how to open the DDS files.

Did this

Thought I had done this.

This is because the button tag in one of the XML files does not point to the same place as the others.

We need the Game Text file that goes with the buildings.

No. I use GIMP2 with its dds extension to open dds files. I have not edited such a file for a long time but I have used it to convert jpeg to dds for buttons.

RL is a problem at the moment, I may have to head west at any moment, all depends on Mum's operation. Not normally life threatening operation thankfully.

I will say a Prayer for your Mom. Travel safely.

Any suggestions where I might find this?

They are both (butcher and tanner) in XML\Text\RoM_GameText_Civilopedia_Buildings.xml.

 

[Dancing Hoskuld]

I am getting nowhere with this. I can't get any non WoC mods to work so looks like I will need to do a clean install of Civ IV.

 

[JosEPh_II]

Sorry for my absence. Thanks for your efforts DH. I had to travel to Florida from Illinois and back this last week. Long drive, 3509 miles round trip. Out of 10 States that I drove thru Florida Drivers are the worst by far.

Since 1.03 is pre WoC I presumed that the module for Jungle Camp would need to be redone the "old" way. But since I have next to no knowledge about XML it's all trial and almost all error. And I haven't been able to get Vincentz attention yet either.

Again thank you for trying to help me.

Well RoM1.03 Extended is playable. Jungle Camp works but has Pink buttons in several places.

And Tannery has Key_Text_ etc in several places too.

Looks like this won't get finished as RoM is winding down and CIV V is just a few days away.

I'll miss a lot of you and some I won't even bother trying to remember.

As Don Meridith used to sing when the Game was in hand, "Turn out the lights, the parties over..."

It's been a Fun 3+ years here.

Sure it will. Upload it please. I can finish it.

You're not buying Civ5?

 

[JosEPh_II]

Thanks Afforess. I'll see if I can get it Uploaded but I may have to find a "service" to do it.

As for CIV V, not right now. If I can buy a stand alone CD/DVD version where I have the disk(s) in my hand and don't have to have an ISP acct then I'll buy it. Until then, no I won't buy it.

@Afforess,

I sent you a PM with the link.

It's a .rar file ~38MB compressed.

Thanks again!

JosEPh

 

[Afforess]

Here is RoM 1.03, with a 100% working Tannery, Butchery, Jungle Camps, Vincentz Industry, and Cart Path, Road, Paved Road, Highway, Railroad, Electric Railroad... etc...


Download Link

Enjoy!

(It also comes with a BTS 3.19 Debug DLL, so that you can see error messages if you decide to keep modding. The DLL needs to be renamed to "CvGameCoreDLL" for it to work. It's disabled by default)

 

[JosEPh_II]

Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!

What version 7z did you use please? The one from sourceforge?

I have winrar and it won't open it.

JosEPh

EDIT: I d/l the 7z beta from sourceforge and got it opened. Yeah! Now off to play! :lol

@Afforess

3 small issues so far. And 2 are the same thing I couldn't figure out.

JC is a Pink button on the worker build bar, JC is a pink button on the Tech screen under Stone Tools and the Text_Key one is associated with Stone Tools.

I have not turned on the CvGameCoredll for Debuggging yet. I was too eXcited about getting it and playing.

I hope the file I sent you was the original RoM1.03 and not the WiP one that had my screw ups in it!

JosEPh

EDIT: This is from Vincentz:

the thing, if I recall correctly, there are two artdefines for the junglecamp. 1 for building and one for improvement.
One is quite obvious > CIV4ArtDefines_Improvement.xml
<Button>Modules/Builds/JungleCamp/junglecamp.dds</Button>
while the other is in > CIV4BuildInfos.xml
<Button>modules/builds/junglecamp/junglecamp.dds</Button>

If one of them is wrong the JC will still work but show pink in some places.

while the other is in > CIV4BuildInfos.xml
<Button>modules/builds/junglecamp/junglecamp.dds</Button>

Could not find this at all. And it's a big file. Spent the last 2 hours looking. My eyes hurt.

 

[Afforess]

Okay, Fixed all of those. Updated the download. The link is the same.

 

[Falcon 1967]

Damn you Affo, now i have to play all this before CIV5 is released or i can't sleep!!!

Thanks for this unexpected little release!

 

[JosEPh_II]

I don't know why you help this cranky old man, but I'm sure glad you have and do.

JosEPh

 

[Arakhor]

Because the cranky old man is a regular?

 

[JosEPh_II]

Well my morning coffee helps with that!

Gonna try out this RoM1.03 extended Arakhor? Revisit the olden days of RoM with a hint of now.

JosEPh

Dang! Just realized I forgot to ask if Passable Mountains and Artic modmods could be added. Du-Oh!
