pb49?

Might as well use the new feature if it’s already incorporated

Thanks!

Charriu suggests I should waiting on your replies to this request. If this is decided I think we can start the game.

There is something new for BUG here: Shiny new stuff
But I guessed after the long voting phase you did not want to decide about adding another tiny addition to the stack, which is why this shiny new stuff is not included. If you want to play with this new BUG addition, I can make a new mod version in the next hour. The linked feature is ready.

Ramk, I will presume to speak for the group and say “host with RtR_BugBeta_0.10.1 including the additional feature”.

Alright, I will start the server in a few minutes.
PBSpy: http://civ.zulan.net/pbspy/game/91/
Server Url: pb.zulan.net:2049

Please note that the Mod name in this PB will be RtR_BugBeta_0.10.
Moreover, I've changed one file after Charriu's latest post.
Download the mod here.

If someone need installation instructions, please ask here. For now I assume everyone know how it works.

Could we get this copied to the first post please?

Thanks! Logged in and settings looked fine to me.

I'm having some problems. Is this familiar to anyone when trying to join the game:



I'm using the same computer as always with Civ, have the Mod in same place as others etc. Does the bug or the zulan server require some additional actions?

@Fintourist, runtime error occurred for JR4 at beginning of PB43 and it turned out to be a nested mod folder issue:

I downloaded the mod and tried to log in and.. was immediately kicked out of the game. An error message said something about a "runtime error" which I`ve never seen before.

The mod was placed in the same folder as the other mods I`ve downloaded. What to do?

Please check if the folder structure is "Mods/RtR_4.0.8.5/RtR_4.0.8.5/" but not "Mods/RtR_4.0.8.5/".
This double nesting is a common issue and the crash indicates that the RtR-DLL was not loaded.

Yes, that worked. I was able to log in and claim the correct civ. Thanks!

[Fintourist]

Thanks, it was exactly that. Sorry typed too fast.

Did I block you Commodore? Based on PBSpy I'm interpreting that there might a tool I'm missing (Again, I should have proper settings that allowed matching in previous PBs in place)

Yes, two things are 'new' nowadays.
1. Use the linked Civ4BeyondSword2015.exe instead of Civ4BeyondSword.exe . Then, you do not block anymore
(Edit: If the port forwarding for Civ4 on 2056-206X works as expected…).
Copy it into the 'Beyond the Sword'-folder with the original executable.

If you compare the executables you will find out that it simply changes some hardcoded urls from gamespy.com to g.zulan.net
You could also edit your hosts-file to get the same result.

2. (Optional) Extract the BTS_Wrapper-Zip content (here, a executable and few DLLs are included) the same folder and start your game with BTS_Wrapper.exe instead of Civ4BeyondSword2015.exe
This speed up the loading of saves on Zulans server.

Here, the changes were made, are bigger and some AntiVirus programs doesn't like my approach (Hooking of system function and/or linking of libcurl.dll )
In the end only the loading of the slow savegame fetching (10kb/s) of Civ4 is replaced by a http request.

Thanks Ram

Btw, Refsteel, note Ruff's comment in the BUG thread. I think we need a restart.
