Since the medmod is now using this file is it correct when I say that I don't need to change the const.txt in the following folder:

C:\Program Files\Activision\Civilization-Call To Power\scenarios\MedPack4\default\gamedata

And if that's so, why is it still there? I mean, it's not really needed, is it? Or do both files have to be exactly the same for it to work properly?


The one in the MedPack directory is not used, but it took a long time before anyone realised that, so I guess it's just a leftover of prior versions where it was thought that it would do something.

Trying to figure out which mods to get for your CtP game is confusing, especially for someone new to Apolyton. Therefore, I have pasted some posts here which, I think, do a good job of explaining which mods to get, and what order to install them in.

You need to get the 1.2 patch first, then the 1.21 hack, which are both found in the Patches part of the Download section.
Form here on, you have several options. The most popular ones are described in the posts below, though there may be recent mods available which could change your mind.

From Madcow23:
The basic is the Apolyton Pack. It contains a fixed version of Celestial Dawn's 4.2 mod (THE essential CTP mod - he called it "CTP as it is meant to be played" and believe me, that's a good description) together with a few other niceties such as Harlan's excellent graphics mod.

You'll need to read the README for the Apolyton pack to learn how to avoid the bugs that remain, but it's not too difficult. Also read the PowerSLICs readme in the same pack, as you'll need to tweak one text file to avoid strange messages.

But that's your basics. Play a few games with the Apolyton pack and you'll agree it's a hell of a TBS. (And don't even consider playing at anything below KING level).

If you decide you want more after that, there's plenty to choose from. WesW and Nordicus' Awesome AIPs pack is great if you find yourself wiping the floor with the opposition. It's worth it for the diplomacy improvements alone. And WesW is currently working on an ambitious series of mods, of which the Medieval Mod is currently available and the Modern Mod is arriving shortly. These look superb too and incorporate the Awesome AIP changes.

The world is your oyster! Have fun, and make sure to let us all know what you think.

From Don Blevens (Scorpion59):
All,
The order should be:
1) CTP
2) CTP 1.2 Patch
3) Civfan 1.21 Hack (found in the Patches part of the Download section along with the 1.2 Patch)
4) Apolyton Pack
which includes: CD's Mod & Graphics, TP's PowerSLIC 2, Harlan's Graphics Mod, Slax's Color00.txt and Zaz & Uppsala's Maps)
5) WesW's Medieval Mod
(which includes Awesome AIPs)

If you do not install the Medieval Mod, you need to install the AwesomeAIPs(Pack Version, not CD's or Original).

Hope this helps.
Don

Note: I have combined the Med mod and the Apolyton Pack into a single download. Currently it is available only at my homepage, given in the link at the top of this post. In the futrue, it will also be available here at Apolyton.

I think it is not necessary, but the hack patch fixes the last annoying bugs in CTP1. Whenever I tried to load a game with a lot of troops and a lot of cities CTP1 crashed, even with Activision's so called final patch, the hack patch fixes this memory hohle. And there shall also be bugs in the scenario file structure so that you have without the final hack patch some serious problems. Therefore the hack patch is highly recommended.

Got spare money?

Some mods will work and some will not, but in all cases you can't reload mod saved games properly without the hack (you can reload once, but then when you save and try again it won't work without lots of fiddling) so if you want to play mods without the hack you'll have to do so more or less all in one go.

Interesting to hear and that would explain some stuff. I played on a costum map so I had to use the scenario file structure. I added some new cities styles by Harlan as I got internet. Before I got internet it helped to delete userprofile.txt and another file everytime I wanted to load a game.

For some reason it's in Call To Power I\Scenarios, rather than Call To Power I\Mods. Try this link:

I have a question.

If I install the hack patch and some of the scenario packs, will it screw up any PBEM games that I currently have going with people who haven't installed the same patches and scenarios?

Thanks

It shouldn't screw anything up - I've certainly never heard of this happening. Presuming, of course, that the scenarios do not alter 'real' game files. A couple of them do do this (thanks to limitations in the scenario system), including the MedMod, which alters AI files and would cause problems if your PBEM games included AI players (and maybe also with the barbarians).

I believe all you need, IIRC, is a certified check or current bank account for a draft. I think if you pm (Private message) either Markos or Dan they will set up a withdrawal. I am not up on current rates, but I believe its something around $28.50 American dollars per quarter????


Its been awhile, plus I have some "Pictures from the Farm" with Markos,Dan and a certain underage sheep which shall remain nameless, so i pay nothing

Peace

Got it, awesome. Now I just need a few of them purple trophies and everything will be set right...

I posted a reply regarding your request for a tester in either the "Can't load PBEM..." forum or the "Need urgent help..." forum. Still up for it? I downloaded all the files yesterday while taking a break from school work but I had a few minor problems getting everything going. But from what I can see it looks really good - I like the moon-walking settlers on the first turn and the militia. Didn't get further then a few turns in though as I'm busy with school and its not a whole lotta fun playing against yourself. I called up the readme text and hit print - dude its like 30 pages or so (have to read later). Anyways, this weekend I'm finally free from the chains of studying the Indo-China war so we can get a game going if you like. I've never tried an internet game other than PBEM, so if you want to go that root we can just giv'er eh? (Canadian slang...). Drop me a line here on by e-mail... Cheers,

A
