Tolkien's Middle-Earth Modpack

[GIDustin]

It depends on what version of civ3 you have.

If you have regular civ3, the scenerio is unsupported. Please buy an expansion pack.

If you own PTW, extract to your civ3ptw\scenarios folder. Then use the "LOad Scenerio" option to play.

If you own C3C, extract to your conquests\Scenarios folder. Then use the "Civ-Content" option to play.

Edit: After you install, but before you play, make the changes outlined in the first post of this thread.

I game aborts. I get through all the screens to select world size and tribe. Actually I just selected default for each. It looks like it loads 90% of the game then it says "missing entry in the text/pedialcons.txt" for ANIMNAME_PRTO_ME_SETTLER. Game will now exit..

I checked the text/pedialcon.txt file and the entry is there.

#ANIMNAME_PRTO_ME_Settler
Settler

I have it loaded into C3C Scenario folder and I am loading from the Civ Content.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

I just tryed again before I sent this message and Iselected the Hobbits rather than leaving it random and I got the message ARt Folder not found. I must have it in the place, I've got it with the Conquests Scenarios and I can load at least the BIX, but the rest of the content is not being loaded properly.

 

[GIDustin]

Well, that basically means that the entry does not exist or the game could not find it. I know the entry exists, so the latter must be true.

When you extracted, do you now have a "ME" folder in your "Civ3\Conquests\Scenarios" folder? You should. If it is anywhere else, try moving it to that location.

Lemme know if that helps.

For a mod that I didnt make, I sure am acting like it eh?

[Pounder]

I do have it in the "Civ3\Conquests\Scenarios" folder.

It is really odd.

Thanks, I'm sure I'll eventually figure it out.

Thanks

I don't have any of the CivIII expansion packs and it looks like the older version of this mod has been removed? Is this right?

Can we get a link to the older version somewhere?

Please?

 

[Mano3]

OK... how is C3C going to play into the mod? I can see many additions, but I'd like to hear from the experts.

 

[GIDustin]

I am not sure what you are asking.

The vanilla civ3 version was deleted. Unless someone downloaded it and archived it, it is lost.


As for C3C, the AI should be able to handle the mod. I havent played it, so I am not one of the experts you speak of. Perhaps the players could collaborate on that?

[Mano3]

I guess what I mean is the 'locked alliances' aspect...

 

[GIDustin]

oh, well, if I had the time to redo this completely, I would use that.

Also, I would get a map of the land, make the volcano to which the fellowship is taking the ring a victory location, and make a flag unit called "the ring", which grants 100,000 VPs to the person who takes it to the mountain, and that would be a victory condition.

However, I have no time since I am busy with my website and my MTG Mod.

GIDustin,

Great idea! You're a very smart and talented computer/CIV guy. Keep up the good work and advice!

 

[GIDustin]

If someone can get me a map of the land, and place units and cities in it where they were in the movie and book and such, i will add that victory condition in.

[JasdonLe]

Meaning no disrespect towards all the work you've done, GIDustin... Why would you just delete the vanilla version of the mod?

 

[Angelscotboi]

GIDustin - have you thought about making more extensive changes to this mod to make it feel more like a Middle Earth/War of the Jewels/War of the Ring kind of game?
Like not using a shrunk version of the Immortal for the Elven Warrior?

Im not slagging off the original creator or you - the Mod is good, very stable and I love the drawings for the leaderheads - just could do with a bit more flavouring I think...

Game crashes when changing era:

error reading file

Missing entry in
"Scenarios\ME\text\PediaIcons.txt":ERA_SPLASH_ERAS_First_Age

 

[GIDustin]

Sorry I havent posted lately, formatting my comp and all.

@JasdonLe:

I didnt delete it off the server, only my own computer. I believe TF did the CFC deletion. I deleted it as I only converted it for the fans.

@lmsw08233:

As I am not the original creator, nor do I have an extensive knowledge of LOTR, I dont feel I am the best candidate to re-vamp the mod, though I do agree it should be done. As for the unit anims, if you look at when the mod was made, back in 2002, having custom graphics at all was a big thing. There are plenty of unit graphics now to flavor this mod a bit, but again, I feel I am not the best person to do so.

@Silverhand:

This was already answered on the previous page:

Perhaps I can get a mod to add the contents of that post to the first of the thread?

Some help people please , how do I install a mod pack . I have the Middle Earth mod and I copy-paste the files but the units or the text does not change . I mean that in the menu the greeks are greeks , americans - americans etc . . .

How do I install it and play ?

 

[Ville]

Welcome to CFC
You could ask this in that mods thread.
And moderators can merge this to the thread I suppose

 

[daykillergr]

Yes but I don'see how the thing you're telling me is helping me out .

 

[Padma]

Moderator Action: I'm assuming this is the Middle Earth Mod you were talking about.

GIDustin: I did as you asked.
