	CD Mod v4.22 Errors Full PM-box? Change here!

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but I am having a problem with the CD Mod v4.22. Basically now I have installed it (following the instructions) I am getting the following errors:

SLIC Error:

C:\Program Files\Activistion \Civilization-Call To power\ctp_data\default\gamedata\script.slc:2882:CONTROLPANELwINDOW_TERRASWITCHES_DESERTS not found in string databse

This error comes up a few times (with different terrain types) then when I create a new game no terrain tiles get drawn at all.

Has anyone else experienced this, and does anyone know how to fix it?

Cheers,
Dosey

	Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Firstly - have you got the patch installed? This is vital.

If you have, then I can't say much specific because I don't have that mod, but it looks like not all the files unzipped correctly/in the right place. Try doing a search in the CTP deirectory for files containing the string which the error refers to (CONTROLPANELWINDOW_TERRASWITCHES_DESERTS) - The CD mod script.slc will be one result, and with luck there should be another too. If not then you might want to try unzipping again, or redownloading...

	Apolyton bug?! and Thanks! Get a bigger avatar today!

I tried the Apolyton pack, but whilst it went through the install process correctly, when I ran the game none of the changes were visible (ie no new gov. types or library enhancements, etc.)

Thanks for the reply though, I'll try it this evening!

IIRC the Apolyton Pack should be started as a scenario, not a regular game. Did you do that?

As far as I remember, the Apolyton pack for CtP is an executable, you just have to run the exe and, when you are asked to, point at the C:\Program Files\Activision\Civilization-Call to Power folder to install it. No more difficult than installing a PC game.

No.

Beware, download managers are sometimes the source of problems, file downloaded on Apolyton with a Download Manager are sometimes corrupted.

Once the Apolyton Pack is installed, four files are added in the C:\Program Files\Activision\Civilization-Call to Power folder:

cdanalysisv2.0.xls (details the mod's numerical changes)
cdmodv4.2.xls (details the mod's numerical changes)
Readme.rtf (explains the changes and the philosophy behind them)
README.TXT (talking about Harlan's graphic units mod)

Believe me, this IS simple... I can do it!
