ViSa General Discussion

[TAfirehawk]

Ok, little update. BTW thanks for quick response TAfirehawk. I don't know what I did differently, but I'm able to play a custom game. Other game types still crash. I tried playing on the map available on your web site Giant_Earth_for_ViSa_v3_European_Powers and at first turn the "You have been defeated" screen appears. Have you heard of this situation before?

Yeah I doubt maps or scenarios will work for you....custom game is the way to go.

And MP often has issues as well....

Our current project, WoC, for BtS will be much better....in fact better than Firaxis on the modular loading aspect

 

[marcus99]

Ok, no problem. I'll stick to this custom game, after all, all the functionalities work on this type of game so it's good.

Can't wait to see this new project. I hope there is a little more Canadian leaders heads though. I also wish that people that make WWII mods think about the Canadian army which was probably not one of the major factors in that war but got hit pretty badly while the Dieppe assault. Anyways, thanks for your time.

Good luck with the project and I'll be surely trying this mod when it comes out.

 

[TAfirehawk]

Thanks to purplexus and the Civ Gold team we have 5 Canadian leaders.....and the WoC will include any and all BtS modules.

The WoC is a modding standard, not really a mod itself.

Is there some text/pdf etc file I can read which summarises the additions and changes of units, civics, wonders, techs, resources etc in ViSa over normal Warlords? I understand this would have been a massive undertaking in its own right, if done, but it would really be useful instead of having to look through the civilopedia all the time.

More specifically, can someone explain how Drill Sergeants work? Do you get to choose the three units they train? What rate do they train at? Does training appear as incremental EXP, or suddenly you have another promotion to add? If you move the unit out of the city at some point before the next training level is reached, does whatever training that was built up thusfar remain with the unit, and can it continue classes upon returning to the city?

I found the civilopedia entry not to answer these questions, whereas it had far, far more than usual on what they are in RL.

I am playimg a late game and suddenly all cities (mine and foreign) are covered in a black shroud and bombing and bombardment no longer work. As far as I can see, everything else in normal. There is no message of any kind in the event log to suggest what is going on. (Incidentally, there are never any records at all in "combat" events. Is this a bug?) Can anyone explain what is going on? This is a great mod otherwise.

 

[Galadrion]

Well, the black shroud/bombardment disable sounds like memory allocation problems. I used to get similar problems whenever I started approaching MAF - the only solution, as far as I know, is to save and exit out of the game (and preferably reboot the computer) and then restart.

As for the Combat Events tab in the log, it shows the record of the last combat in the current round. No combat this round, nothing in the log.

Some maps don't work 100%....not sure why....

No more development is happening here, sorry....we are working on the WoC Project.

ViSa mod 3.25 install .exe error

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just downloaded the ViSa mod 3.25 and when I tried to install, it gave the following error:

Data error in Disk1.cab File is broken
Data error in ViSa3setup.ini File is broken
Data error in ViSa3setup.msi File is broken


Is this a known fault? is there a thread with a known fix?

Bad download would be my first guess...cuz there is nothing wrong with the download file itself so it is your particular copy or computer.

 

[sgwiederhoft]

I tried down loading it three more times (3 of the 4 downloads were corrupted somehow). The 4th installed and it is an excellent mod. The mod group's work has made some outstanding enhancements to the game play.

Thanks for all the work!!

Hi
It looks like you guys have put alot of work into the Visa mod and am keen to give it a go. No problem with download, deleted cache and had auto delete on install done. Game crashes after setting up single player.... VERY ANNOYING
Sorry if I have used the wrong thread.... Its the first time I have had to post

 

[rockinroger]

Did you get this working?

 

[adamdree]

Nah, I got the shits with it and deleted it. If you can let me know what might possibly be the problem, I will down load it again.

 

[TAfirehawk]

My guess is that you picked a map type that doesn't work....try Continents.

Reinstall might be in order as some folks have gotten corrupt downloads...getting it again might fix it.

 

[adamdree]

Thanks Guys. I am downloading again now. Fingers crossed......

hello again

Visa works fine. Thank you for your hard work (sid should thank you too! you have made his game better. lol) Good job! I like the extra technologies. You were right about the maps: Definetely doesnt work with 24Civ or 18Civ. Do you know of a multi-civ earth map that visa works with?

We don't do maps....
