Which mods should I get? A newbie guide.

Where on Apolyton? Can you provide the exact page where you found it?

i click for download, then, I click on skip, and then the download starts. when I get the file, I double click and then I get that message. nothing else. It's very strange...
I have a Pentium 3, windows xp...

Hmm, that's same file I downloaded and it works fine for me. The file itself is okay, so something is must be going wrong during the download. (Temporarily) disable any download managers, firewalls, anti-virus software, etc you may have and try downloading the file again.

Maybe it helps if you download the file directly from this link (right-click and Save Target As).

Edit: Also, make sure you actually re-download the file, rather than getting it from your browser cache (if the download goes really quickly, it's coming from your cache; remove your temporary internet files if needed: in IE, Extra > Internet Options > Delete Files).

i've tried to redownload the file different times, and it was fast! now I understand why... so I cleared the Temp. Internet Files.

and surprise, after downloading it again, I intstalled it, and it works fine!!!

hartelijk bedankt! nu kan ik c:ctp spelen zoals het moet

I just downloaded Wes's Medieval Mod 4. I know this has to be a stupid question, but when I unzip the files, there is no installer file that ends with .exe. So what to I do to actually install it. Do I have to manually place all those files in the correct folders?

And, just to confirm . . . when I'm installing the Medieval mod, I don't have to do the Apolyton pack or the Awesome AIP's, right?

[nathalie1977]

I have the same question above. Help?

[J Bytheway]

Indeed you are supposed to simply put the files in the correct place. I'm afraid I don't have a copy of the MedMod to hand, so I can't tell you what place that is, but you should be able to tell by comparing the names of folders. Also, there should be a readme which explains what you have to do.

Sorry if I am being dense but I can't get the medieval mod to work. I keep getting various errors when I start a scenario.
I installed the files as recommended at the start of this thread:
"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)"

There are about a dozen readme files contained within the medieval mod but I cannot find clear install instructions. I have tried unzipping the 3 files (mde4_snv, med4_main and med4_pic) into the scenarios folder. However there are multiple folders which are unzipped and try to overwrite each other.
Can anyone provide clear instructions?

Hey it seems the Apolyton Pack link broke? As in the file is no longer on the server... Same goes for the graphics for CD's mod, which is what I needed the Apolyton pack anyway... So if anyone has a copy and can repost it or whatever that would be swell.

In the meantime the links should work again. However they point off-site, which is disadvantageous.

Does anyone here still play single player CTP?

I do, but usually just play as a single player MP game to adjust my settings I prefer.

Speaking of, what Mod is it PBEM'ers use that give you some extra PW and settlers?

Thanks

PBEM Mod Lite by Keygen which I've attached. Also in the zip is the addme.slc by Mathemagician which adds extra messages.

Weird. I created it using Winrar.

I created a new one this time using the zip folder function of WinXP:

It must be a Vista thingey, I downloaded at work and saved to a jump drive, so I can use later.

Just re-nstalled CtP (after leaving it for several years)

I've installed Patch 1.2 but when trying to install 1.2.1 I get the following message:

"This prgram cannot update the installed version of Civilization-Call to Power because of the following reason:

C:\Program Files\Activision\Civilization-Call to Power\ctp_program\ctp\ctp.exe: unknown version"

I'm using Vista - is this error due to a crap operating system or have I missed something?

[JohnGalt137]

I had the same error with XP. I don't know how it was fixed.

Does any one know how to fix the above error? I am currently using windows 7 and have installed the game then installed patch 1.2 and finally tried to run the 1.21 patch. I am getting an error like the post above:

C:\Program Files\Activision\Civilization-Call to Power\ctp_program\ctp\ctp.exe: unknown version

Just i am running 64bit and it is saved under program files x86. any advice on how i should fix this?

I noticed that when i failed to update the file to version 1.2 the same error happened (after a fresh reinstall) so i am wondering if i am not really updating civilizations to version 1.2. Is there a way i could test to see if it is doing anything?

Did you try installing it in Windows XP compatibility mode?
