Sevomod: Support & Bug Reports

[Gelvan]

Hi there - again I've started Sevomod, this time with 5 opponents on a standard map. well the problem was the same - but in a little bit a smaller degree (at least I had the tool tipps show up and could change production.

Maybe it's only that my pc is not good enough...

but then: why is there no problem at all with the mod Fall from Heaven2?

is the city screen of the Sevomod maybe so different from standard and also from FFH2?

Just as a quick check: what language are you using while playing?

 

[Gelvan]

I'm using german - is there a possibility to change this?

 

[Titi]

Sevomod should work normally in English and French, I don't know how about German (it's likely that the many changes between 3.1 and 3.3 don't account for other languages, but I'm not sure about that anyway).
To change the language, you've got the option to do it when the game starts (in the options page if I remember well), or directly in the .ini file (look for the line "Language = 2" and replace 2 - German - with 0 - English - and check if it loads better).

cool - thanks (I've searched for the right ini file, but I could not find it... hm, I'll try the options menu

 

[Titi]

The file is called "CivilizationIV.ini", and if you didn't change the default alternate folder, you should find it in "My Documents\My Games\Civilization IV" (except "My Documents" will probably be "Meine Dokumente" if your version of Windows is German).

Anything on the space race issue that I posted about earlier?

 

[Titi]

I don't know if somebody can help me, but for me, when I played a regular (non-custom) game, I launched the shuttle, but the game didn't declare me the winner. Can anybody help me figure out what the problem is. Everything else with the game plays fine except for this (although I haven't tried out any other victory conditions yet)

It's because you play with the "Mastery victory" on. To remove it, next time you start CivIV, go into the options (or game customization, I'm not sure where it is) and unselect the box "Mastery".

PS: This mod is really fun to play. It has replaced regular civ.

Same for me

Didn't see your post (probably because it was at the bottom of the previous page), but the answer is now just above this one!

Hello
I am having a problem with LAN games in sevomod 3.3. A created game does not show on other computers trying to connect to the game. I can see that this problem has been identified before but after having searched through this thread, I have been unable to finde any solutions. Am I missing something?

Thank you.

I know this was posted somewhere, but I just cannot find it. Can someone tell me how to get rid of the shiny, plastic looking leaderheads? Thanks!

Not sure if that will solve your problem, but for leaderheads, you could try this:

(2) Leaderheads: In the default mode of this mod I have "forced" shaded leaderhead graphics, as they are generally better quality than their non-shaded counterparts. However, some graphics cards don't handle the shaders and will display "ghosts" with only eyes and/or experience poor performance. If you would like to switch over to the lower-quality but safer non-shaders, go to the /Sevomod/assets/xml/art/ directory and replace the file CIV4ArtDefines_Leaderheads.xml with Civ4ArtDefines_Leaderheads.xml.SafeGraphics

Hello,
I downloaded Sevomod which rocks by the way. The only problem is once i start the game there are no bars exept for the bar that appears when u choose ure tech or religion. Its so annoying ( though i have to admit i got much better at the shortcuts of the game). Can you please help me i have civ 4 version 1.61.

 

[Titi]

In what language are you playing?
Did you install the mod in the main \Mods folder? Did you try to install another mod on top of Sevomod?

(It looks like there's something wrong in the xml files, but it could as well be something totally different, hence the above questions).

 

[empireruler]

I installed it in the mods folder.
Iam playing the english version 1.61...
I did not play it wth other mods running...
I dont know whats wrong but all tabs seem to dissapear including the names of countries on the score list, and the tech tab, and the unit tab, and even the city screen when u double click on cities. All I see is the picture of the city from overhead. If you could help that would be great

Thank you,
Empireruler

 

[empireruler]

oh also, would your mod possibly fix this as i have not downloaded it.

I am desperate people. Half a year ago, I used to play Civ4 + Sevomod 3.0 (and later 3.1) with no problems. I got so used to it that Civ4 vanilla just isn't an option for me now.

After a 6month break, I reinstalled Civ4, patched to 1.61 and put Sevomod 3.3 + titifix in the main game folder, under Mods (NOT in MyDocuments). However, when I try to run it, I get the same problem as the other people here - no interface when the mod is loaded - just the two start units. I browsed the forums, and tried all the suggested stuff: clearing the CustomAssets folder (it contains a couple of empty folders every time), ALT+I (and SHIFT +I and CTRL + I, and ALTGR + I), updating my graphics drivers (Nvidia FX5500 - it used to work before!), updating DirectX to 9c (june 2007), applying flatmans maininterface fix - no change. I also tried the 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 Sevomods - same result. The shipped mods (American Revolution etc) work fine.
Another strange thing (maybe related, maybe not): On the main menu, the title of the mod (far upper right corner) is "cut-off" - it just says Sevomod (the version number is not visible).

What can I do else people, I really want sevomod - it's just the better Civ4!

Is there a BtS version, or one planned soon?
Or am I just horribly unobservant?

I encountered the same problem. First off, when I tried to load Sevomod, it would load up in a Users/AppData folder rather than Firaxis/Civ4/Mods. So I'd copy all the information back to the "appropriate" folder to see if that would work, which it did not. I also tried deleting everything and loading it again to no avail. I tried all the patches. I tried reseting. I tried that CustomAssets folder thing. I even tried copying some of the Python folder files from the main Civ4 Python folder to the Sevomod Python folder. All without success, but I just tried running the Sevomod install with Sevomod already installed, and the interface is there! Hopefully everything else works right, but maybe my tentative success will help you too.

Hello, I got the same issue as the last few people that posted.
My mod loads perfectly and I can start a game, but when the game actually starts, there arn't any interface bars. I am playing english, on v 1.74 so that might be the problem; though my problem is EXACTLY the same as micreglavni, even down to the version of the mod not showing in the corner.
Please, post anything that might help me play the obviously ownage mod
