Those mods are all kept in the Steamapps mods folder for me, and always have been, so I don't know what's happening there.

Pitboss 18 IT and Tech Issues Thread

(March 12th, 2014, 13:58)Commodore Wrote: By the way, going by the settings from first post, and also my mention of the different starts for the "we want tight!" set, this is a 60x124 cylinder. It'd considerably more roomy than, say, PB15 for you "normal" people and every single land tile is going to be eligible for being in city borders. I know the tile amounts look scary, but don't worry folks. Oh. I thought it was going to be a torroid to address the issue of the folks on the northern and southern edges of the map having safer backlines to expand into. But looking at the first post that isn't mentioned, so sorry for not bringing it up before. I suppose it's too late or wouldn't work with the layout to hack it to be Torroidal? Also Barteq is going to ask if the person running the 25 player KAC pitboss had any trouble setting up Civstats.
Completed: RB Demogame - Gillette, PBEM46, Pitboss 13, Pitboss 18, Pitboss 30, Pitboss 31, Pitboss 38, Pitboss 42, Pitboss 46, Pitboss 52 (Pindicator's game), Pitboss 57

Is there a chance you're looking in the wrong mods folder? It's kind of deceptive, you don't want this one: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword\Mods You want this one: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword\Beyond the Sword\Mods (March 12th, 2014, 19:14)WilliamLP Wrote:(March 12th, 2014, 18:50)Boldly Going Nowhere Wrote: do not show up in any other mod folder. Is there a way to get the game to read/look for mods in a different folder? Boldly is all sorted now and owes me some booze, I think. He was able to connect and claim his civ so his technical difficulties are solved. There are three different mod directories. One under My Documents\My Games\...\mods and then the two that WilliamLP mentioned above. Well...Boldly had the mod installed in BOTH of the "wrong" folders and not in the right one. What's funny is that he was able to connect to a test pitboss game running the mod (same version, 2.0.6.2) when I hosted it myself, but he could not connect to Caledorn's. I wonder if it was because the test game was configured with fewer than 18 players, but there are mysteries in the universe that may not be worth solving. TL;DR - Boldly is ready to play and owes me beer.

I would throw you a barrel of scotch to avoid ever having to think about this again. I might seriously just buy another computer if I ever have to try to figure this much stuff out. Hate is too kind of a word for this version of hell.
I actually had the exact same thing happen to me with mygames/steamapps, and I connected to the test game under the MyGames directory. It then didn't work for the real thing, and made me remove from mygames and put it in steamapps :???

I would prefer it as Torroidal too, but I doubt that's a option.
