hmm..i think the problem is...i play the game in german....there are 3 folders in ctp_data ....default/english/german
the mod updates only the folders default and english...
i copy all files of the mod in the german folder..but it doesn't work really...
maybe...anyone of the german players can help me to fix it?

TIA

I dont think its because you have a german version. Ive got the strange advance options at the beginning of the game too.

Here's how I got cradle to work with the german version of the game. First, copy the zipped ctp2_data folders normally into the appropriate directory. After you've installed all the necessary files from hex site, you go into english\gamefile and just copy all the files with start with CRA into the german\gamedata folder. This should do it. If not, might help to do a clean install. Works fine on my pc though.
As for the mod it's just cradle 1.32, no special victory options.

Locutus: Do we play with the default diplomod 3.5 or the 3.6?

Since this was the last major mod I have not played, it's good to see it picked for the tournament.

- Just to be clear, is the version in the directory the latest?

I just downloaded the Cradle Mod from the CtP2 file directory – all 12.8MB of it I thought that it was rather convenient that it appeared first in the list of mods to download. I read the main Cradle Mod Readme file and it provides a nice overview of the mod. I am looking forward to my very first Cradle game. I reviewed some of the new units and those special units really caught my interest! Rome will be an interesting place indeed…

DD, I have the same problem, and I have the English version (I assume, whatever we got in Australia which may be slightly different, I dunno...).

The mods I've installed are: Patch, Modswapper, SAP, Cradle 1.3, Cradle 1.32 update. In that order.

Never had a problem with Cradle before, not sure what's going on now. I'll post it when I find out if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Ok, read all the readmes I could find, didn't find anything.
Tried restarting but reloading slic this time (through message box), and that just made the slic errors worse.

I'm gunna try uninstalling and reinstalling...

[Shadow]

Loc, while I remember...

I've seen things like this happen when I've loaded CTP II with the wrong modswapper setting. Are you SURE you loaded Cradle1.32 when you started the game and created the save for everyone?

[Shadow]

OK. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Loaded mods in this order:

Patch, Cradle 1.3, Modswapper, Cradle 1.31 update, Cradle 1.32 update.

Same problem.
Got me beat. I hope someone's having better luck, 'cos I'm itching to play!

[Shadow]

Has anyone got it to work yet?

Nope. I downloaded the mod from this site. After creating my first city, my build choices were a Nomad and some genetic age beast called a Kraken (quite formidable looking). I'm going to muck around with it to see if I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks Maguiladora. This looks like a neat Mod and I think I'll give it a try. I'm a slow learner though, so I may not even finish the current tourney game, but it should be fun.

Seems there's a few people with exactly the same problem.

Which leads me to think that, Loc, it may be an issue with your save game... although I'm no guru at this, so it's very likely that I'm wrong.

If you want, load up CTP II v.Cradle1.32, save a game at the opening turn, and email it to me. If it works fine then that should help us narrow things down.
Your call.

Cheers,
Shadow

Guys, like I already said in the beginning of this thread, it's probably a problem on my side: I do all sorts of modwork all the time and usually use Cradle as basis for this work. Normally I have seperate modswapper options for my own modifications but sometimes things go wrong. I'm busy reinstalling and making a new Tournament game now, will post the new game later today.

BTW, the files you need to install are the file in the Directory here on Apolyton plus the "1.3/1.31 to 1.32 UPDATE (dated 05/22/02)" on Hex's website.
