I realize the mod creators are very busy updating their great mods to Warlords, but I'd like to do the same to some customized scenarios I have.
Could you tell those of us wanting to do this what steps you are taking to update the files? What programs you use, what files you reference?
I have the wonderful program "Beyond Compare" which is helpful, recommended by a modder here. What others help?
Also, did Firaxis provide on the disk some listing of the files and changes from 1.61 to Warlords?
Is there a listing or discussion somewhere as to what the log files tell a modder who encounters errors? I am trying to update a scenario and have all the python and xml errors taken care of, but once I tell the game what civ I want and just before the map loads... it crashes to desktop, giving me that delightful windows error box "Sorry about the inconvenience...but..." From my limited knowledge of what the log files provide, I see no inference as to what the problem is. When I was having XML errors, they were very helpful, but not now.
I emailed Take2 the other day about it... no response yet. How open is Firaxis to emails with such problems. Should I expect to hear from Take2?
Thanks to the modders for all your hard work and help, btw. I hope you can add something here too.
