Afterthe against CPE (i'm french...) ,this is the against 1.61 thread....
go ahead, say that fixalis are lazy SOB that release an update which screw all the mods just to sell their game in china......
Maybe they are afraid that nobody will buy their future game because things like song of moon or other is surely better than any 40$ or ~Euro next "addition"........
 
Its really not that difficult to update. You just have to go through a couple of files and change FORBIDDEN_PALACE to GREAT_PALACE, THREEGORGESDAM to GREAT_DAM, and COMMUNISM to UTOPIA. You also change MAO to CHINESE_LEADER. Might take you 5 minutes if you do it efficiently.
 
you seems to be the only one to says that it's fast.
anyway i have about more than 35 new techs and others.
and what does it changes to the text in the open screen?
 
If they wanted to break the mods they could have done a much better job of it than just changing 3 text tags. I have to agree with gunner that it takes 5 minutes to fix.
 
ok i'll try it again back home. and what about the globaldefinesxml?mine has important changes for some units
(about 3 text changes: when you se all the things available on download here: YES THEY ARE LAZY)
*personally in my mod all units are unique for all nations (that's why it's 290mo)
 
ps: about your mod fall heaven i tried the barrage thing with invisible units it's fun they jump back when a barbar comes in the case

You should never modify the GlobalDefines.xml. There is no reason to do so. You should make any changes to the global defines in GlobalDefinesAlt.xml.
 
People were complaining about Firaxis not releasing a patch soon enough, and then when it get's released, people complain about the new patch.

GIVE FIRAXIS A FREAKIN' BREAK!!!
 
still me:
about the python changes (merged assasain bad people etc...) no problem??

fixalis doesn't need a break with the money they make.....
 
Get araxis merge, or some freeware merge tool. It makes merging xml / python / etc. changes trivial.

I have a mod with over 50 new techs, and hundreds of xml changes elsewhere. Three way merge took me all of half an hour to upgrade to 1.61 compatibility.

Firaxis really had no choice about this, if they wanted to change or upgrade any XML they pretty much had to break mod compatibility. Of course, if they had defined their original XML/XSD to use schema default values so that every XML entry didn't have to have every XSD schema element, it would have been less work, but once they committed to the path they are currently on there was no way out for them.

It depends on what mod your using...& if you know how to edit XML. I'm sure someone here will help you out.

Hey,thanks alot for the info....just edited the mod I play alot,Great Generals.:goodjob:

May I add if you know how to edit XML then fine,you probably know what to do,but I'm sure there's alot of people that don't know....it's really simple,maybe it's time to learn,I did....Good Luck.

Depending on the mod you play most current one's will probably be updated,you can either wait or take the initiative yourself. I had to because I really doubt Great Generals will be updated.

Seriously the patch finally comes out & suddenly there are people that are complaining about this or that.I guess you just can't make everyone happy all of the time......:lol:
