Tolkien's Middle-Earth Modpack

[Sarevok]

I must say this is one massive mod!

 

[KingMattRoe]

but how do you install this mod? If you just unzip the file to the Civ III main folder it doesn't automatically sort the subfiles into the correct folder but just unzips them all into the main file. So do I have to individually put each file into each correct folder or am I just being stupid?

Thanks!

 

[Sarevok]

go look at the first few posts.

 

[KingMattRoe]

I looked at the first three pages and the only reference to install problems dealt firstly with the program when it was seperated into smaller zip files as opposed to the one large file it is now and secondly they all mention an installer program which isn't in the file I downloaded.

Help me Civ Fanatics, you are my only hope!

don't go to the first post got to page 16, and look for GIDustins download, the one on the first page isn't good for 1.27f ptw, and GIDustin's download is the same but for 1.27f ptw.

and shouldn't this thread be closed as the modpack originally this thread was made for no longer good and its maker is no lonfger on the forums.

My bad. I just realized this mod is for PTW which I don't have. Sorry, but thanks for the help and all.

Hope it is not just me, but, in two games playing this mod now I have received the error "Eras_Splash_Second Age...... " this game will exit immediately. A little frustrating as in my last game I was in the middle of a major takeover. I restarted to the last auto, same thing, and then 2 auto's back, same thing. Has this been reported before?

Greetings all!

I need some help in setting up this mod. I unzip it to the
civ3\CIV3PTW\Scenarios and one dir is created called "ME", also a file called "Tolkein Middle Earth Mod.bix" (yes, with the typo!) is created too.
I enter the game, choose load scenario option and select the "Tolkein Middle Earth Mod". Next there is a loading time and I am presented with the usual configuration of the world (like in a normal scenario). I choose the Huge world and next I am presented with the Middle Earth races. I choose one and then I appear on arandom generated map with the usual techs and units from the normal game. What am I doing wrong?
Also, I tried to load the scenario in the editor and no map is loaded.
I am runing version 1.27f of Civilization III: Play the World.

Thanks for your help in advance,

CGR

Ah yes, another change to PTW that I didnt remember. This is a pediaicons.txt file error. Just open the file in the "ME" folder and add the following to the end of it:

#ERA_SPLASH_ERAS_Ancient_Times
art\erasplash\ancient.pcx
art\erasplash\medival.pcx
#ERA_SPLASH_ERAS_Middle_Ages
art\erasplash\medival.pcx
art\erasplash\indust.pcx
#ERA_SPLASH_ERAS_Industrial_Age
art\erasplash\indust.pcx
art\erasplash\modern.pcx
#ERA_SPLASH_ERAS_Modern_Era
art\erasplash\modern.pcx
art\erasplash\modern.pcx

Hummm... someone can tell me whats wrong with my instalation of this mod? I don't have it installed on the default dir, but instead on D:\Games\Civilization III\CIV3PTW\Scenarios.
Otherwise my problem is fully described in the post above...

Thank you,

CGR

cgr:

The tech tree didnt change at all in this mod, and you defaultly start with a settler and a worker. Have you tried playing past the second turn?

Also, if you guys want it, I will make a patch to fix that pediaicons error as well as supply a C3C version.

Thank you for your reply GIDustin!

My main concern is the map... where is the map of Middle Earth?


Regards,

CGR

 

[GIDustin]

I dont think he got that far before he quit working on the mod. Feel free to try to make your own maps and post them.

[cgr]

Thank you again for the answer.

There is a big beautiful map of ME around. Can I import it in the editor after loading your mod? How?


Regards,

CGR

 

[GIDustin]

go into editor, open the mod file, go to File->Import. Select the scenerio that has the map, click ok, and select only the map when the checkbox list appears.
