[WTP] Quick questions

[Montaraz]

and I did not understand the clarification in step 2 - (it's on another drive).

I mean that the game and the mod are installed on a drive other than the system drive. I was clarifying it just in case.

make a screen as you completed step 4
The mod should start right away.

 

[raystuttgart]

The string X inside Mod="X" must be exactly the same as you named the folder for the mod in the file system.

 

[Montaraz]

The string X inside Mod="X" must be exactly the same as you named the folder for the mod in the file system.

it's exactly the same, but it starts the vanilla game.

 

[Mr. ZorG]

1. the mod must be in the game folder, not in the "my documents" folder
2. do as I wrote here

 

[Montaraz]

1. the mod must be in the game folder, not in the "my documents" folder

Yes, the mod is in the game folder, inside the "mods" folder, not in "my documents" folder.

2. do as I wrote here

yes, that's what i was looking at.

Click on the Set launch options button

I'm in steam properties, but I can't find that button.

Oh I think I found it.

 

[Montaraz]

there we go!
set sails!

2. do as I wrote here

It worked that way. thanks!

The start of the mod is still slow as always, right?

Another thing, the music of the initial menu is heard quite low, I don't know if it happens to someone else.

I started a game to see if it worked and it gave me an error with the map and the resources I think.
I foolishly didn't take a screenshot...
I just started another one and so far it hasn't thrown me an error.


I usually use "customizing game"
Does the map work fine with that option?
What map is recommended to play?

There is a / after the game ID. It should be a space as Mod should have a space right before it. It should be like this:

steam://rungameid/16810 Mod="WeThePeople-4.0.1"

steam://rungameid/16810 Mod="WeThePeople-4.0.1"

I copied the line steam://rungameid/16810/Mod="WeThePeople-3.0.1" from the readme_wtp and changed the version name.

steam://rungameid/16810 Mod="WeThePeople-4.0.1"

I tried this way and it still starts in the vanilla game.

In addition, it throws me a python error regarding a "faireweathertweak.ex" module not found.
(when I try to take a screenshot it just gives me a black screen)

2. do as I wrote here

Just to clarify, I was able to start the game straight from the mod the way @Mr. ZorG indicates above.

 

[Mr. ZorG]

I'm not sure if the shortcut method will work for steam. however, methods with an ini file and a path entry in the Steam itself are working.

The start of the mod is still slow as always, right?

Yes. I think we're dealing with a "quiet" start of vanilla and the subsequent loading of the mod.

@Montaraz enjoy the game)

 

[Montaraz]

@Montaraz enjoy the game)

thanks @Mr. ZorG !
I'm enjoying it so far. Everything is huge!
Congrats to everyone involved for the great job and this great mod that is WTP.

The OST is also great, sets and goes along very well.
I already have a favorite song!:

Since we are talking about steam, another option is to open steam, right click Colonization and select properties. Under General, there is a text field called launch options, add

Mod="WeThePeople-4.0.1"

I haven't tried it, but it should work.

 

[Montaraz]

I ran into a minor bug: the reversed golden text I think.

And another one that is restraining my game: I can't find the button or the way to send the treasure or request for a Galleon to the King.

That's because it's only possible to get the king to pick up treasures from colony plots. The screenshot clearly shows that the treasure is next to the colony rather than inside it.

you don't understand - it's someone talking to the governor. there are even quotes, white

It works, it worked for me at least. That's the way @Mr. ZorG recommended above.

my bad!

When I try it from the city plot, there is no option to send the treasure either.

What map is recommended to play?

oops, missed the question.
you can play on any map - they were all manually optimized for 4.0. custom game uses a map generator that builds maps from all old and new terrain types. sometimes it's fun to mix them up, but we're working on it)

so there is no pier in the city (at least)

 

[Montaraz]

ok, that's why!
I didn't realize it

when i play it again i will try.

thank you!
