Destiny of Empires II [Organization Thread]

Where did you put the mod?

[Jehoshua]

In the mod folder for BtS... when I load it, it goes into the game, then it flashes for a second that "this file is protected to ensure that assets in your mods folder have not been changed", before immediately shutting down.

If I put the mod in the Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\MODS folder, it shows up in the Load a Mod dialog. If I put the mod in the Program Files (x86)\2K Games\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4 Complete\Mods folder, it doesn't. I've tried exporting the files directly to the Mods folder and tried storing them in their own "Destiny of Empires" folder, but either way it doesn't seem to like it.

You missed something. Be sure to put it in the mod folder inside of BTS, not Vanilla.

I wasn't talking to you..

[Jehoshua]

apologies. Im quite tired and irritated at my technical difficulties

[OzzyKP]

EDIT: Well its not working for me, so perhaps my advice on where to put it is wrong. Whenever I log on it comes up with a message and it says "Save file is protected to ensure assets in Mods folder have not been changed" and it crashes to the desktop. I mad an exception in my firewall for the civ 4 program, do I have to make an exception for the server? I hope I don't have to port forward...

You guys have the most recent patch for BTS, right? 3.19 is the current patch.

I found a few threads about this error, I'm not sure what will work for you two, but check these out:

I got it to work. You were right, Ozzy: I was throwing it in the wrong folder. Works fine now. Too bad we're restarting it already.

[Jehoshua]

I reinstalled civ, but for some reason I can't enter the game anymore when I use the IP. Do you know some way to resolve this?

[OzzyKP]

Crap, you've got all sorts of problems. Does the mod work now? You can boot up the game no problem? That's a step forward at least.

No idea about logging into the game, what does it do when you try to log in? Any error messages?

[Jehoshua]

No no, when I type in the IP in direct IP connect, it says that I could not join the game. Ergo I can't even enter the game lobby to pick russia like I could before (although before once I actually did that and it loaded it came up with an error, that presumably should be fixed now)

My presumption is, that its because all the spots are filled and that since I re-installed it counts my attempts to log in as a new player.

[Jehoshua]

Irrespective of this though, I put a password on Russia, so if this problem turns out to be unresolvable before the turn ticks over I can just give the password to someone who can get in so they can play the turns out either until the problem is fixed, or indefinitely if it turns out that in re-installing I have forever divorced myself from the game

[OzzyKP]

We are restarting the game.

So don't worry about missing turns for the moment.
