Yugoslav Civilization

Downloaded 1.00, 1.01 and 1.02 - none work any more :cry: I don't even have the one that worked any moooooreeee :sad:
 
Hah! I am getting somewhere... barely...

Remember how I said that flags in Velja's Serbia mod also wouldn't work for me? Neither the blue one with foour letters "C", or the Serbian tricolor with the coat of arms.

Until Lankou did "something" to them and re-posted the file here:

http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=3340746&postcount=16

ONLY that one worked for "Serbia". And now, I put it in the Yugoslav mod teamcolor folder and changed the XML accordingly - and YES - I get a flag for Yugoslav mod. Serbian, mind you.

I don't know what Lankou did there - but both Velja's DDS files and four (!) Srđann's files don't work just for me and possibly few other guys, but for majority, they're OK. Bizarre.

Srđanne, can you download that Lankou's file I posted above (be careful, it is not a zip, just rename the zip to dds) and pls try to see - is there anything about Lankou's file format or config that is different to your flags?

Flag is the most important part of the mod, dammit! :)

Great! I think I found the soulution :)

When I converted dds file into psd (instead of jpg) I found that Alpha 1 layer which LAnkou talked about and turned it from white to black :)

It should work now, for all of you who downloaded 1.02 version here you can download correct FlagDECAL_Yugoslavia.dds file, and in couple of minutes I'll change 1.02 zip file, upload it again and change links above. :)

And don't forget to let me know the results of this new file! ;)

EDIT: Here you can download complete 1.02 version (with correct flags) and here you can download new experimental flag (which have to be renamed to FlagDECAL_Yugoslavia.dds if you want it to work)

Looking forward to see the impressions! ;)
 
Yes yes yes :) :) :) Please let it be so...

Can you just give us a shout here when it's uploaded, pls?

BTW, ZVEZDA just beat Roma 3-1 :D
 
I just downloaded it and...

... yeah baby it works!!! :D

Srki, thanks until sky! :)

Just before I forget - I want to be able to do this myself, since I am downloading Lankou's SuperCiv patch. So... what do I need to do if I come across any flags that show as white?

I have Adobe Photoshop CS2, and DDS Converter 2.

I gather from what you wrote that I should...
1. Open the dodgy DDS flag file in DDS Converter and convert it to PSD
2. Open that PSD in Photoshop
3. Find some "Alpha Layer 1" somewhere in it, and if white, change it to black & save
4. In DDS Converter, convert the updated PSD to DDS
5. Shove it in the mod folder and that's it?

Am I correct?

It's done - uploaded, you can find link in my (edited) post above or in the first post in the topic! :)

Congratulations for winning vs. Roma (I'm Partizan fan... ;)) You know, Partizan have always been Yugoslav and Red Star Serbian Football club, so... ;)

Yap, but actually it's Channels not Layers... My mistake :)

I suggest that if you do such thing together with flag that doesn't work you open one which works and take exact black color that's in working flag.

PS. You can find Channels on one window in Photoshop (together with Layers and Paths) and inside it you can find 5 channels - RGB, Red, Green, Blue and Alpha 1 (which is the one we are looking for ;))

So, happy civing! :)

Waay ahead of you :D I already fixed one of Velja's flags. The problem was that Alpha Channel 1 was all black, but the cross and 4 "C" letters were white. I made it all black, converted it back to DDS, and it works :cool:
 
Unbeleavable! Now this new flag (with black instead of white Alpha 1 Channel) is not working with me! :D

OK guys & girls, in your \Yugoslavia\Assets\art\Interface\TeamColor folder you have two files:

FlagDECAL_Yugoslavia.dds
and
FlagDECAL_Yugoslavia_old.dds

One will surely work, but you'll just have to try which one is it... The only one important thing to know is that the name of the first file is the active one.

And for 1.03 version I'll try to figure out how can we solve this problem...
 
normally it's black version that works

i will wait 1.03 before adding yougoslavia mod if you don't mind (less work)

Anyone tried to mess with the space-time continuum? Like playing young Tito vs. old Tito, or vice versa. Or how bout teaming up young Tito and old Tito against the world. Earth would shake.

Is it possible to have two same civilizations against each other???

For an example Roosewelt against Washington?

Anyway, does this mean that you don't like the idea of two Josip Brozs? :D

Of course that I don't mind! :) There are some other things that have to be added/changed as well... ;)

But can you tell mw what's the catch about this black/white alpha channel weird thing? And do you have the idea how can we make solution of it, that is, how can we make just one dds file which will work with everybody?

Maybe it's something with the color file? Maybe I should put ColorVals and PlayerColorInfos files inside mod? Ha? :)

Yes it is. I'm pretty certain you can pit Roosewelt(the good one) against Roosewelt(the evil one) too. Right now I'm gonna add two more leaders to Hungary. It'll be interesting to watch five different Hungarians fight it out in a global civil war.

I like the idead. I'm a trekkie and this is like Endgame all over again. Tito and Janeway have the same right stuff. Now you only need an easter egg villain to provide them a challenge. Borg, Informbiro... resistance is futile, or not.
 
Awsome job on the mod guys!

Someone mentioned "Pioniri" as a tech improvment, but how about Nikola Tesla? :)
 
Yugoslav mod ver 1.03 by srdjann & Anima Croatorum

____________________________________________________

Starting technologies:
Agriculture & Mining

Leaders:
Marshal Josip Broz Tito – Aggressive & Industrious
President Josip Broz Tito – Creative & Organized

Unique Unit:
Partisan (Infantry)
Strenght 18 (instead of Infantry's 20)
+25% vs. gunpowder units (same as Infantry)
1 First strike
Ambush promotion (+25% vs. armored units)
Woodsman promotion (+20% defense in forest & jungle)

Installation Instructions:
_________________________

Just UnZip Yug103.zip into :Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Mods folder

IMPORTANT! IF YOU DO NOT SEE YUGOSLAV FLAG DURING THE GAME AND YOU ONLY SEE CLEAR WHITE FLAG RUN FLAGPATCH.EXE FROM MODS\YUGOSLAVIA FOLDER AND PRESS UNZIP!

Change log:
___________

1.03
____

- fixed look for Partisan button, Yugoslav civ button and both Tito's buttons. Now they look like other buttons since they don't have outline anymore which made them different.

- fixed pink circle which appeared instead of button picture of unit when you select Partisan during the game and then scroll of the screen. Now there is Partisan button picture like other units have.

- Added two files into parrent folder - FlagPatch.exe and FlagUnPatch.exe. IMPORTANT! IF YOU DO NOT SEE YUGOSLAV FLAG DURING THE GAME AND YOU ONLY SEE CLEAR WHITE FLAG RUN FLAGPATCH.EXE FROM MODS\YUGOSLAVIA FOLDER AND PRESS UNZIP! File FlagUnPatch.exe returns the flag to the original.

*Note: While playing and testing first versions of this mod (and actually this applyes to all mods with multicolor flags) we noticed that (nobody knows why) there are two groups of PC's. The first group will accept ONLY flagDECAL files with White Alpha Channel and second group will accept ONLY flagDECAL files with Black Alpha Channel. Therefore I had to take one of those two flagDECAL files as primary (and that's the one with White Alpha Channel) and the other one (with Black Alpha Channel) you can get by starting FlagPatch.exe file from Mods\Yugoslavia folder (and pressing Unzip).
 
well, it seems good, but i don't understand...why two Josip Broz Tito? why don't you use a great political person (not necessarily a person who leads the country, a gandhi like person...) other than a second Tito?
