Yet Another Merger

[David Smith]

Still doesn't work for me, tried Opera, SeaMonkey, Foxfire3 and EI7still nothing!

 

[QwertyKey]

I think you clicked the wrong link after choosing to d/l; I just tried and didn't have that problem. Make sure you click on "Download content without installing the Download Manager".

Edit: Hrm...I have confirmation of something like a compatibility problem with Chrome. Is that what you're using?

I'm having trouble with Opera...

Why not just upload it to rapidshare? Much easier.

 

[Duneflower]

Okay...I thought you had to sign up for RapidShare, and signing up for new services makes me go . I should have a link for it in a bit here.

RapidShare link.

Double-post for separate topic: jdog, have you ever tried going into the foreign-affairs screen when you don't know anyone? I'm not sure if it's a Rev problem or a NwT problem, but I accidentally did so a while back and Python barfed all over me. Didn't crash anything, but still possibly with looking into.

Also, about ChangePlayer: I just used it to change Wilhelmina of the Netherlands into Cunhambebe of the Tupi, and it worked quite well - in fact, the noted bug about the flag not changing did not occur; but oddly enough; the units' artstyle didn't change, though units produced subsequently were created with the new artstyle.

 

[QwertyKey]

Thanks It works!

 

[jdog5000]

Duneflower: Thanks for the heads up about the foreign screen, I'll check it out.

About change player and art styles ... did the city art styles change? I'll see what I can figure out to change the unit art styles but that may be tough.

 

[Duneflower]

Yes, the city-artstyle does change.

Hrrrm...how much work do you think it would be to repackage the Next War stuff in modular format?

 

[Duneflower]

Can someone tell me why this text-modifying XML isn't working?

What do we do with the rebeltypes.py file?

 

[QwertyKey]

It appears nothing can be upgraded? I can not spend the money like usaual to upgrade my units?

 

[Duneflower]

Who are you playing, and what are you trying to upgrade to what?

 

[Duneflower]

Updated to v0.9! GameFlood has been updated, RapidShare in progress.

 

[Duneflower]

Crapple, I just found out my copy of Rev is out-of-date! Ah well, I'll include the new one in the next release.

Jdog, exactly what edits did you make to Civ4UnitInfos.xml?

 

[jdog5000]

There are no Revolution changes to Civ4UnitInfos.xml that I remember, but there was an unofficial patch change to make Conquistadors ignore city walls or something. I think that's all. You can always use this really great program called WinMerge to see exactly what's changed, I may not remember everything ...

 

[Duneflower]

Initial post edited!

 

[Duneflower]

Hokay, why is BUG breaking my CIV4GameText tweaks?

Edit: Finally got that crap sorted out...

 

[Duneflower]

Version .95 is live!!! OP will be updated shortly.

New Stuff:

• Rev updated to DCM 2.51
• New button-style for flags
• A whole lotta flags replaced (again)
• PLAYERCOLORs shuffled to cut down on too-similar ones and match new flags better (experimental, will almost certainly reshuffle at least once as some of the current ones really suck)
• New Civilizations added:
  • Gold 5 New-World Realignment implemented
  • Ainu
  • Assyria
  • Mexico
  • Poland
  • Goths
  • Huns
  • Olmec
  • Magyar/Hungary

Known Issues:

• ChangePlayer seems to be broken
• Irish UB

Also, a note on the way I re-rendered names involving diacritics, specifically the ones that use macrons (-, as in &#333 and breves/carons (roughly like u/v above another letter, as in ă/&#353 above letters, which are mostly Mandarin vowels with tone-marks: The charset CIV uses doesn't have chars with those marks except for Š/š, so I substituted circumflexes (^, as in ô, which I've already seen in use for Japanese long vowels) for macrons and umlauts , as in ä) for breves/carons, which works because none of the languages in question uses both members of either pair. The lone exception to this rule is "Aššur-baani-apli" (Ashurbanipal); since Romanized Assyrian does use both a macron and a circumflex, I instead rendered "-bāni-" as "-baani-", since from what I could tell the macron just denotes a lengthened vowel.

A further note on the Mandarin names: They're not spelled in proper Hanyu Pinyin (ie "Qín Shǐhuáng") or Wade-Giles (ie "Ch'in Shih-huang") form at all; after a bit of research, I re-rendered them in the best way I could come up with to represent to myself how they're pronounced. YourMileageMayVary.

Hrrrm, I think it may be time to get my own subforum. How does one go about that?

@Dune flower
I apologize for posting a visitor message but I had not been able to find the thread until now. I start a game but there is no display. Any suggestions would be welcome

 

[Duneflower]

"No display"? Could you be a little more detailed?

 

[edingess]

"No display"? Could you be a little more detailed?

The map appears with units but there are no advisors on the top or bottom and no mini-map. P.S. was the download supposed to have a civlopedia?
