Turkish MOD - Turks as a playable civilization

[MichaelBlondin]

Tunch Khan:

I'm working on a mod and I just can't make a picture of a leader appear. I didn't have any problem with the flag, but when it comes to the leader pictures, a purple square is appearing. Could you help me please !?

 

[Tunch Khan]

Can you e-mail me the picture files? I'll check it out and we take it from there; cruist22@yahoo.com

 

[Alexios]

I love it. Gonna study it and others to make a new mod for the Byzantines.

merhaba.... senin modun çok iyi!

for some reason it just shows a red flag, not the turkish flag though? i'll keep playing around with it

 

[Tunch Khan]

Thanks for the comments. I had actually tested the flag earlier and didn't get any other reports so far. Is it possible that you have altered your files earlier or didn't install the pack? (zip1 and 2). Again, i know it has been some time, but i'm almost about to finish the new version with proper audio files, so if you can hold a little longer, I will upload the new files ASAP.

 

[OneArmed]

thanks! i'll stay tuned!

i installed both zip files, but i didn't understand what you meant about unpacking the Art0.Fpk? Yours is the only mod i've tried. everything else worked fine, just the flags were red without the ay yildiz

I figured out what I did wrong to not make the flag decal show up. (i didn't copy the flag decal dds file over to the right directory)!

thanks

Allright, first of all I just want to say I can't believe that the mod that I was looking for could be so easy to find. I actually thought that Civ 4 might include Turkey or the Ottomans, but looks like I was wrong.

Second of all, I was wondering if it is possible to have 2 special units and if it is possible, I think a Janissarie would be perfect.
(For those of you that have no idea what that word is, it's pretty much a very skilled soldier in the elite corpe of the Ottoman Empire during the middle ages. In fact, it was so powerful that the Sultan ordered their termination with his loyal Siphai).

Finally, you did a great job with everything and keep up the good work.

 

[Tunch Khan]

Thanks for the comments, I could easily add Janissaries if I can find graphics or at least a proper skin. Until then Sipahi's have to do the hard work of dominating the world.

DOWNLAD THE UPDATED Turkish MOD.

Turkish MOD is now updated with sounds.

Features:

- Unit Select sounds in Turkish
- Unit Order sounds in Turkish
- Diplo Music for all three leaders:
- Mehmed_II_Early.mp3 which is also the default diplo music for early, classical and medieval ages is Classical Mehter Band theme;
- Mehmed_II_Late.mp3 is edited version of Istanbul (Not Constantinople) ;
- Suleyman_Late.mp3 is edited version of Istanbul Opening (soundtrack/Midnight Express,1978), which would be more realistic if Suleiman was in rule;
- Ataturk_Late.mp3 is Rondo Ala Turca for late game with Ataturk as leader, which suits well with the modernization reforms and such;
- Turkey_Intro.mp3 is pieces of sounds edited from Istanbul (Levent Yuksel) and is the default for Turkish diplo screen.

IVE ALREADY UNINSTALLED THE GAME REINSTALED IT.... DELETED CACHE..... THEN I PUT THE LATEST TURKISH MOD FILE INTO MODS ORIGINAL DIRECTORY..... THEN STARTED THE GAME.... WENT TO ADVANCED OPTIONS LOADED THE TURKISH MOD EVERY THING IS THERE EXEPT THE TURKISH FLAG

1) stop shouting, it breaks my eyes
2) don't say the game sucks (even without it), there is a lot of people who love this game (even without it), respect their opinions
3) do you have any issue with the normal game? if not, try to set whiteflag to 1
4) if it doesn't work, try supercic, it includes turkey

 

[Tunch Khan]

3) do you have any issue with the normal game? if not, try to set whiteflag to 1

The whiteflag is already set to 1 in my mod. I didn't run into any problems during my tests so far, but i'd appreciate any info or feedback about this specific flag problem. Thanks..

besides the slowness

Black terrain, cheshire cat? (BTW what is a chesshire cat?)

(BTW what is a chesshire cat?)

"The Cheshire Cat is a fictional cat appearing in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. It appears and disappears at will, engaging Alice in amusing but sometimes vexing conversation. The cat often points out philosophical points that annoy Alice.

At one point, the cat disappeared gradually until nothing was left but its grin, prompting Alice to remark that she had often seen a cat without a grin but never a grin without a cat. This has become a point of notability for the cat: most people remember it most strongly performing its vanishing act."

Now that Ive learned what the cheshire cat is my answer to your question would be NO.

Great ideas for this civ Tunch.

I can't say that I see the conflict with emphasising the Ottomans, but then I'm not Turkish. It's just that, while Tamerlane did capture Sultan Beyazid, he was half Turkish and half Mongol himself. There are alot of Turks through history - Ottoman, Seljuks of Rum, Blue... Picking one that represents the whole civilization is impossible. Personally I've always wanted to see someone make Alp Arslan. But while he started things out, and Ataturk did alot of great things for today's Turkey, no one affected the world like Suleiman. The Ottomans were feared or respected by everyone who knew them, that seems to make them a pretty good candidate for Civ.

Is it just me, or is anyone else having trouble accessing the companion file? I found it, though it was in a file named Art0.FPK not .PAK., but I can't find any programs that can open the file. What's the deal? I think it's awesome that there are other units on the disks that aren't used in the game yet, but it's frustrating the heck out of me trying to see them.

Anyone have any suggestions?

*edit* Just found what I was looking for in the Lost Units Mod. Still can't figure out how to open the file myself, but they're posted here -

Lost Units

...Personally I've always wanted to see someone make Alp Arslan...

I am palnning on adding a few other Turkish leaders, Alp Arslan among them. I might start a poll tho, to decide on which one/s.

 

[mazzz]

cool, how did u get the sounds in turkish?
