RoM Latest Version

[White Flag]

Hy Zappara,

Once again you have done the work to perfection.

Since this module was built, I converted to Zappareism, alleluia.

Firaxis should contact you quickly to offer you a job worthy of your talent, director or something good foil.
If they don't do this, possibles causes are, they are blind, deaf and dumb, unbelieving or lost in the triangle of wetlands.

Don't stop modding, I believe in you, amen.

 

[zappara]

New patch released.

[BlackBird28]

there are promotions missing from the promotion map

 

[hlacey]

Hey - love the mod, but can't play it on the lan. When we try, the hosted game never comes up to whoever is try to connect. We both have the same mod version and the multiplayer fix. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this. Ta.

 

[hellfish6]

Just downloaded 2.4, and no I have no in-game GUI. Same problem when I put 2.4 on my laptop. I'm using the Steam version of Civ4.

Version 2.2 worked fine, and I deleted everything when I downloaded 2.4 and did a clean install, but this is what my game looks like now:

 

[maedros]

I have the same problem with hellfish6 but i use xp(sp2).No interface. 2.2 worked just fine. I load RoM2.4 (or 2.41 or 2.501beta) from bts(3.17) screen just fine.Now from the RoM screen i can't read civilopedia(i press the civilopedia button but it does nothing).I can go for a single player game but when it loads i have no interface(even in a custom game). I desperatetly want to play!
help

 

[DRJ]

Did you try to uninstall bts completly + manually deleting the bts folder in .../my games where the saves are at? When I did delete those folders as well and clean reinstalled all it mystically worked...

 

[maedros]

I finally did manage to solve my problem.In my case i replaced bugpath.py file in Rise of Mankind/Assets/Python/BUG folder by the bugpath.py file found in the bugpath (MissingUIFix).zip file which is in the rompatch2_501beta.zip file.
So anyone who experiences no interface or no pedia/options problems please try this.It may work in your case too!

- Added: Tectonics mapscript (renamed to RoM_Tectonics), added marsh terrain init but script doesn't know yet how to place that terrain type
- Added: PerfectWorld mapscript (renamed to RoM_PerfectWorld), added marsh terrain init but script doesn't know yet how to place that terrain type
- Added: Smartmap mapscript (renamed to RoM_Smartmap), generates terrain with Marsh

Mod settings
------------
- Changed: NoCustomAssets = 1 in Rise of Mankind.ini (prevents possible conflicts with custom assets, like older BUG mods)
- Changed: NoCustomArt = 1 in Rise of Mankind.ini (prevents possible issues with custom graphics mods)
- changed: AllowPublicMaps = 0 in Rise of Mankind.ini (only maps/mapscripts specifically made for Rise of Mankind will be shown in game setting lists)
- Changed: Revolution.ini, BarbarianCivs NewWorldPolicy = 1 (was 2), this change makes barbarians settle to full civs on New Worlds (ie. on continents without other starting civs)
- Changed: Revolution.ini, 10% chance to odds that civs accept rebel offers (all was 0%)
- Changed: Revolution.ini, IndexModifier = 0.8, this should make revolutions happen little bit less to AI players than to human players (human can cope with revolutions better than AI)
- Changed: Revolution.ini, increased slightly turn amounts between revolutions TurnsBetweenRevs = 12 (was 8), DeniedRevs = 9 (was 5), AcceptedTurns = 14 (was 10), AcquiredTurns = 14 (was 10), BuyoffTurns = 14 (was 10)
- Changed: Religious victory requires now 75% religion percent (was 85%)

Maps
----
- Changed: All pre-made maps updated to v2.5 civic changes

Hi all, may i set as default (.ini files ?)more player than 9 for a custom game?

Thanks a lot

 

[zappara]

Thanks! And I see you cut back the power on the financial civs a bit, I'm looking forward to playing this afternoon with my buds!

Is there any difference in patching 2.4 vs just downloading and installing the full version of 2.5? (Other than the size of the download, of course!). Also, is this compatable with the expanded civ pack? If so, how do we set that up? (We've been trying to play 2.502 with that and its been pretty iffy so far.)

Thanks again for a mod that makes this game so much fun!

You've brought Joy into an old man's leisure time. :respect:

Is there still some place I can find v2.4?

 

[Kristaps513]

Version 2.5 released! Merry christmas for everyone!

Download v2.4->2.5 patch

You too.

I hope you fixed some of the multiplayer bugs.

Found a bug. When I razed Thebes, the Amun-Ra holy city, all of a sudden I got to found Hellenism AND all other religions where founded worldwide. Mind you, it was very early in the game (I was playing Rome, and got 4 spear men "cleaning" all of Europe, Asia and Africa), so this was a bit, distubring.

Similar experience - got to Dualism first, couldn't found Zoroastrianism. Wouldn't be so bad, but the prophet in question was Zoroaster. Suspect the religions are bugged.

EDIT:
Method of reaching the tech was Great Prophet, and it was around 3500 or so BC.
