Current mod is Rise of Mankind Ver 2.92. Note Continuation of Mod is AND (A New Dawn) 1.75c currently.
Install this mod, by downloading the Zip file, all 482 Meg's, EXTRACT that file to the mods folder as mentioned above \home\(user name)\.wine\Drive_c\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods.
Now comes the fun part, took me 5 days' to get this right, all it takes you is 5 minutes of reading.
Thanks to Emperor Fool (Thank you again) and Zappara, and ME!!!!! you need to alter the CvAltRoot.py file included with the Mod.
This file is located in the Rise of Mankind Mod folder you've just extracted. Open this file with a text Editor.
Step 1.
As I've Emulated Windows XP: Change the line to read (Forward slashes and all);
Window XP: “C:/home/(user name)/My Games/Beyond the Sword”
Step 2, Save file, close, Right click upon same said file, copy.
Now you need to go to the Assets\Python folder of the Mod directory your currently in, paste into the Python folder the copy of the file, overwrite the existing copy.
Now you can play rise of Mankind.
Other mods.
Hmm just use the CvAltRoot.py file, follow the same procedures I guess.
Notes:, this works for Windows XP Emulation, others don't Know, similar directory structure.
Q. I want to use an Earlier/Later Version, or another Version of Linux.
A. Just use wine, same procedures, I use 10.04.1 LTS Edition is all. (Currently)
Q. Hey, I've got a Mac, “What about me, it isn't fair, I've had enough, I want my share”....
A. “Can't you see, its in the file, just change the lines to follow the correct path”
Q. Hey, I've got linux, not windows, what's this C:/, or Ha Ha, Its \ and NOT /
A. Its EMULATING (Pretending) Windows XP DIRECTORY, under a linux structure, hence C:/home/(user name)/My Games/Beyond the Sword
Q. What happened to \home\.....\ you say one thing, then type C:/.
A. Its the way the games designed, or wine handles it. I don't know, I'm not a programmer.
Q. How do I play/ Start the game.
A. It should have installed an icon on the desktop, if not, find the executable file, copy it to desk top, right click, make it executable, and locate icon the same way.
Q. Hey, the mods don't work, are faulty, Buggy, etc
A. Place your grievance with the various Mod forums.
Q. I haven't got (user name), where and what is it.
A. Its your Desktop name, usually your name.
Q. Do I have to go from Root every time.
A. No, I'm just showing the full Directory structure, start with \home or \(User name)
Q. I want to use the command line, how do I do that.
A. My heads spinning already, I can't help you there.
Q. Aren't I just adding another layer to the game, won't it just suck more resources, etc.
A. I've found, my own personal data, that it plays better, uses less resources. Linux does it better.
Q. How do you know this works?
A. I've tested this, over 5 day's, various other changes, combinations, satanic chants, and Voodo. This loads 100%, is faster, and plays great. (Rise of Mankind Mod)
Note: I'm currently having random sound crashes, this I attribute to a failing in wine, sound has regressed since Version 1.2. (Rise of Mankind mod only)
Q. Hey, Mod x....?
A. Mod x forums, not me.
Q. Hey, what a lot of work install this, down load that, windows is so much simpler.
A. How many service packs did you install, drivers, virus checkers, ram upgrades, video upgrades.?
Q. Mine works without the changes you've suggested, what gives.
A. Lucky you, mine worked as well, without the changes 1 out of 14 times, 1st time not a problem, it would load fully couple in a row, then crash anther 14 times. (Rise of Mankind mod)
Q. How do I know I can trust you.
A. How do I know I can trust YOU!!!!
