There are two links to the CFC file database just below the 'current version' heading on the first post of this thread.

I understand that part, but again NO normal assets, art files, leadersheads etc?? :confused:

Or am i just missing something?

Ahh sorry. Nope, none of that. This mod pack isn't designed to add anything like that to the game. It has a few modifications (change to some advisors, additions to city screen, etc). Its primary aim is to have zero rule play impact on the game ... perfect for succession and HOF type games.

Why dont add even a better military advisor ? Custom advisor is very poor.

Do you have a preferred military advisor? I had a look around and the ones that I saw actually resulted in the loss of some information and / or took ages to collect all of the required info.

Thx for the heads up ... I left out one little " and it went all wacky

ruff,

Thanks for pulling these mods together. These are the interface adjustments that make it just a little more playable!

much appreciated.

Awesome looking Ruff_hi. Nice work.

I just have a problem with it taking (and using) my changes. It currently runs nicely with your default settings, but I'd like to play with the options you provide. No matter what I change (either by modifying the ini file or through the in-game interface) it sticks to your defaults.

I renamed the default customassests and and am using your customassets directory. Do I need to do anything else?

No, I don't think so you need to change anything else. What are you trying to change?

Trying to adjust the naming of the units, notices about city growth and other alerts.

Alt-J brings up the menu, I check the boxes, and click Exit. Nothing changes in the current game or when I reload the game. I've edited the ini file to reflect the same changes and they still don't show.

Still a great utility!

Conroe · Dec 21, 2006

Just a guess ... but I'd say the .ini file is in the wrong directory. You renamed your CustomAssets folder rather than installing this into a mod directory, right? Try moving the .ini file to your ...\My Games\Civilization4 directory and see if that helps.

Hmmn - I'm assuming that you have the RuffMod v2.ini file in the 'my docs' civ4 root directory ...

ini file location for Civ4 said:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\

ini file location for Warlords said:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\My Games\Warlords\

When you click exit - the game should update the ini file - you can alt-tab to check the date/time stamp on the file. I've tried as much as possible to make the changes happen immediately ... no need to reload to get the changes to work. Try changing the clock or one of the advisors - I know they work immediately.

Is there anything non-standard about the location of your civ4 install? Is your 'my docs' mapped to a network drive or a different drive - there have been reports of issues in that situation.

When I copy the ruffmod_2w.ini into the Warlords directory and start the game, I lose all the information on the screen and only see the playing field. Alt-J and Alt-L don't work. None of the F keys work either. Seems like there was a mention of this situation in one of the earlier posts. I'll see if I can find it.

Should the ruff ini file replace my Civ ini file?

That sounds serious ... the cvmaininterface.py file isn't loading correctly. And you say that is caused by moving the ini file ... hmmn. Did you copy the domadvisor.txt (not actual name - it is something like that) file too?

Don't mix up warlords and vanilla - keep them totally separate.

re Should the ruff ini file replace my Civ ini file? - NONONONONO, don't do that.

Bingo! That was it.

My fault on getting all the files copied over.

Thank you!! Keep up the good work!

ruff_hi · Dec 21, 2006

thx - I've updated the install instructions on the first post.

Bede · Dec 23, 2006

ruff - great work on getting this updated to warlords and I really like the improvements to the battle reporting, but I am having a bit of a problem with the logger.

To wit

a screenshot of the options as selected using Alt - J

And a sample of the output

Spoiler :

There are at least two turns in there and no turn number indications and at least one of the battle reports make no sense as it reports a unit as defending when it was attacking. Everything else appears correctly.

The install appears to be correct as all the other functions appear to work (Clock, Advisors, Unit Actions, etc). Is there an a link to some other part of the mod that means a function has to be activated before the logger picks up the turn numbers, or something like that that I may have missed?

Thanks for the help.

ruff_hi · Dec 23, 2006

@Bede - hmmn. This is confusing. The turn heading is actually put in as the very last thing perform on the prior round (due to the funny way that the programming events happen in Civ). It appears that event is not executing (it also sets the attacking / defending flag as well as the IBT flag. Did you restart the game because I don't see how you would have go the "Logging by" message - and twice(!) at that.

One question - is this standard warlords or are you playing a mod / scenario of some type?

Bede · Dec 23, 2006

@ruff - standard warlords and I dumped the Custom Assets before copying in yours.

What really has me baffled is pholk is playing and reporting the same game just fine.

ruff_hi · Dec 23, 2006

@bede - pls post a save and zip your customassets + ruffmod v2w.ini + domadvisor.txt files.
