[cr0ws]

Never mind, accidentally dug up an old thread.

But since I'm posting....any sure set date on 2.7 release?

But since I'm posting....any sure set date on 2.7 release?

Original plan was to get it ready for start of July but this new BtS patch got many of the modders (myself included) by surprise and everyone is trying to convert their mods to new BtS version as soon as possible. So if I get soon my hands on new RevDCM that works with BtS 3.19 I could try to speed up RoM patch process a bit - however making RoM 2.7 is in time consuming process at the moment as I'm adding new graphics for buildings&units that will fill the new Transhuman era.

I think that many people would thank you for giving them an option between 3.17 and 3.19, if we have to wait longer for the 3.19 version.

Not practical because RevDCM is a VERY integral part of RoM. So there can't be 3.19 version of Rom without RevDCM, period. At least, that is my understanding.

 

[Arakhor]

Well obviously, yes. I was trying to say that I didn't want to see all 3.17 support disappear just yet.

 

[kthx]

lets cut zap some slack, we will play 2.7 WHEN ITS DONE ;D

 

[Arakhor]

Well, I suppose I could do a dual install, especially if RoM became 3.19 only, but I really don't play Civ IV exclusively, so it would probably be a waste of computer resources.

 

[nutranurse]

Why can't you just update to 3.19 with everyone else?

 

[Arakhor]

Quite apart from the fact that "everybody else" doesn't exist (there are still people playing vanilla Civ IV for instance), have you considered the fact that there are actually other mods out there only for 3.17 that I enjoy playing?

How dare you say that!

Actually since zappara included RevDCM and it's components as Options RoM can be played without REV. Now on the other hand the Better AI .dll is used by both REV and RoM.

I play Stock RoM much of the time. I do use the BarbCiv and Start as Minors which are components/add-ons to REVDCM. But I rarely play with core REVDCM activated. If it ever gets to the point where I can't play stock RoM and must play RoM laced with REV then I would have to play the earlier versions of RoM. I really don't care for the REV portion of REVDCM.

Rev and most of the other mod components will remain optional - I have no intentions to make them permanently active in RoM. I prefer to play stock RoM as well at times and I do like to play with all RevDCM options active - so it's good to keep components optional.

It appears the download links on filefront does not work anymore, any mirrors?

Filefront did some cleaning on their site and removed inactive files (not enough downloads). I saw too late their notice about file deletion and some of RoM files had been already deleted. The RoM v2.62 basic version download links however do work alright (just tested). I won't be uploading again megapack or v2.63 patch as those have some bugs and they won't anyway work in BtS 3.19. RoM v2.7 will work in BtS 3.19 and once that patch is released, I'll start converting megapack's civs to RoM v2.7 settings.

Cool! Btw do you do anything to reduce time between turns, as it would be better then the mega pack. (Yeah, to get shorter turns = more gameplay). Wish that 2.7 soon would be there, but for my luck I got to go working when it is published.

Is there an option of ignoring this patch?)

Yes there is, don't install it.

I actually meant that for the purpose of the new version release =)

No, 3.19 patch changes DLL file so you either have to have either 3.17 or 3.19 patched BtS. Don't worry, though, I noticed from Modpacks forum that a lot of mods are going 3.19 so if that is your main concern, you should be fine updating to 3.19.

 

[cr0ws]

It would be very thoughtful of fraxis to at least make it a possibility to switch between old and new version, considering there are lots of good mods that won't run for the new patch.
