Hi all!

First off, I'd like to say a huge thank you to those of you doing all this work that the rest of us enjoy - awesome job!

I'm a mod addict and especially love all the Wonders being created. I recently installed a new wonder - Valley of the Kings - that's causing file issues.

Specifically, I keep getting a pop up that a certain texture can't load. The pop up references RoyalAtlas45.dds.

Three of the mods that I've downloaded (Int'l Space Station, Valley of the Kings and RMS Titanic) all use Royal_Atlas_xxx.dds files and after a bit of trial and error (i.e. enabling/disabling specific mods) it seems that the Valley of the Kings mod is the culprit. I can't find a thread about that mod (and the modinfo screen doesn't reference contact info, other than the creator's name), so I'm hoping that either:

1) Royal Aconite browses these boards and can reply; or
2) someone has a working version of the mod and can post the missing file.

Thanks!
 
Look inside the mod's folder to see if that file is actually missing. It's possible the file is there, but the VFS flag is not properly set, which is something you can fix.
 
I've taken a look at these wonders but can't provide a quick fix. The author should use unique file names for each wonder mod to prevent such conflicts.
 
Thanks for the replies!

The only reference I can find to that string within the Valley of the Kings folder is included in the file Civ5IconTextureAtlases. The file contains the following:

- <Row>
<Atlas>ROYAL_ATLAS_01</Atlas>
<IconSize>45</IconSize>
<Filename>RoyalAtlas45.dds</Filename>
<IconsPerRow>8</IconsPerRow>
<IconsPerColumn>8</IconsPerColumn>
</Row>

The Civ5IconTextureAtlases file is found in the xml/gameinfo folder of the mod.

Here's some other info that may help: when I had RMS Titanic and the Valley mods active, the RMS Titanic icon was messed up (on the tech tree), but the Valley icon was fine (which is why I thought it was a Titanic problem); however, when I disabled the RMS Titanic mod, I got the same errors. When I re-enabled RMS Titanic but disabled the Valley mod, everything worked fine. I'm running a new game (without Valley) and the RMS icon is back to normal.
 
Looking through the mod, it looks like the Civ5IconTextureAtlases file for the Valley of the Kings mod contains a ton of extra lines that shouldn't be there. Some of the refer to WonderAtlas, which is a file included with the mod and referenced by the wonder, and some refer to RoyalAtlas, which is not included in the mod and is referenced nowhere else. Delete all the rows that refer to RoyalAtlas and I think that should solve the problem.
 
I am truly sorry for the problem I cause you all! I just edit the file name, get rid of rubbish code, and reupload Titanic and Valley of the Kings. The root of the problem is I extract it from the bigger mod I making right now and something unneccessary tag along with it. Again I apologise for any trouble you got from my mod! T^T
