v.0.1 ALPHA: The Song of the Moon: the first Civ TOTAL CONVERSION!

[woodelf]

@ webrider - To my knowledge no one elese has trouble installing the mod. Did you get the whole thing? Also, the next version should be out today so if you hold on all will be well.

@ Oni - Also, never heard of the resolution bug happening. I did notice mine got changed to administrator, but didn't think to much of it. See above that a new version is on the way.

I'm looking forward to it. I've been looking forward to playing it, but every time I try, it seems to get stuck creating the world, er, moon. After about 15 minutes of reading Sid's tips and listning to Spock soliloquise melodramatically on the origins of life, I usually give up

Hope I can play the new one!

Peace

Don't you press the "play" button then? Or doesn't it pop up?

For now I'd say try a tiny map and see what happens, just to see the game. Matthewv cleaned up the map scripts and other things for this next version so loading times are much, much better. Thanks for your patience.

If there were a play button, I would play!

NOTICE:
Guys, I have just tried out the latest build of the SotM and I have no reservations in saying it's great fun and works. In fact, I'd go so far as to say .

Tomorrow I shall post the new version in a new thread, put its link at the top of this one, and ask a moderator to close this thread, in roughly that order. I'll take this opportunity to thank you all for your feedback and criticisms.

Nighty-night!

nooo , I wanted it out today.

Come on JBG. Stay up a bit longer.

exactly there is no play button it says finishing but never gets to the play button. This is a no brainer install simply un rar into the mods directory it shows up as a mod so the game recognizes its there but I have never got it to finish finalizing to show me the "play" button. I've tried re downloading and reinstalling with the same result.

That's bizzare. Looks like you'll have to wait until tomorrow for the new version since JBG is on GMT and has packed it in.

As suggested to me, it works if you select a tiny map. Maybe with tomorrow's new build we'll be able to play on larger maps too.

Also after the mod loaded (and a game) the graphics were messed. My starting era half had the right graphics and half didnt.

see pic attached

Never mind... tried attaching it but system just lags. But there is deffinatly a graphics prob.

And yes I put the map in the custom maps folder.

You might ave put it in the custom maps folder but it doesn't sound like you are using it.(select moon_Map as a map type when you start a new game)

 

[JBG]

Guys, I don't want to upload the file to filegone because it seems to corrupt *.rar files larger than 16MB. Can anyone suggest another upload site that won't delete it after 7 days?

 

[woodelf]

What about a 2 part installation? The Assets/Art by itself and then Assets/everything else?

 

[JBG]

Don't worry. I have a temporary solution.

Guys, the new thread is almost complete, so...

NOTE TO ANY MODERATORS: If any moderator reads this post, could you please close this thread? Thanks. JBG.

 

[woodelf]

I'm think my solution would have worked, but hopefully your temporary will lead us to a smooth release.

Here's the new version of the mod, people:
