C2C on Linux and Mac \ HUGE map possible to everyone!

Using software WINE - you can play in CIV4 with C2C mod on huge map with 10 AI , and I can`t tell why but Wine run civ4 better then windows (xp-10 , all of them).
To better understand : standart map game take 700 mb (in windows up to 2gb)

important note : windows version of steam in mac\linux work not flawlessly, so better to atleast disable in-game overlay and to use command line switch -no-dwrite.

Please tell me your suggestions\ results of your resource usage.

 

Thank you! I vaguely recall I changed my library overrides at some point and broke Civ4-on-Wine, but these seem to work. Also, at least on my system, pressing the windows key causes a crash somewhere in the Steam overlay, so if you're using a Steam install, disabling the overlay might make it a little bit more durable to being breathed in the general direction of.

 

windows steam in wine work not so good, so such problems can arise.
So you need to run linux\mac steam but i dont know if it will use windows games.

 

It doesn't. Steam on Wine works passably (well enough to start games, crashing overlay aside) if you give it the argument -no-dwrite.

 

i add it to tutorial, thank you

 

How does this result to turn processing ?
Being able to run a huge map is nice but if turn take forever where's the fun in that ?

 

Turn proccessing CPU-dependant
Huge map RAM-dependant

on my system - turn proccessing sorhtened not much but i can see difference.

Hi Masaykh, thank you for the guide. I've added this to the AND website FAQ (http://anewdawn.sourceforge.net/pages/faq/).

 

Obviously you've never played a board Strategy and Tactics game before. And turns taking forever is really subjective. This mod at one point was nearly 3GB in size. But thru optimizations to graphics and removing redundant files it's down to ~ 1.75GB.

But playing on Too Big of a Map (Giant and above) with Too Many starting AI, with Too Long of a Game speed, with Options On like REV, Barbciv, Size Matters (SM) (should never be played on a map larger than Large till it is completed and refined it's still actually a beta), Mastery Victory will ALL contribute to longer End of Turn Waits (EoT's).

A Huge Map on Marathon with 12-15 AI, No REV, No BarbCiv, No SM, and using 2-3 original Victory conditions will make for a faster EoT and a more focused and stronger set of AI.

Thank you ! Works fine for me, civ4 crash on my windown but works perfectly with Wine.

 

I,m Sorry But I dont see any tutorial to install C2C. I have installed Civ 4 Complete onto my Mac using Wine Yosmite wrapper and it works fine. Now I want to install C2C? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am new to Mac but have been and still am playing C2C on windows 8 on my laptop. Can I just copy the mod folder on the laptop across or what please.

 

You need to place mod files under subdirectory mods in "Beyond The Sword" directory.
As i dont know where you put your files on your mac system, cant "navigate" you.

 

Yeah that's where I put them. Same as on a windows machine. There is no .exe for the mod tho?. It starts to load but gives .xml errors

 

There is no .exe for mods. They use the main exe. They may have a .dll though. C2C does.

You can't copy C2C over an existing version of C2C. If yuo do you will get XML errors.

 

So delete the c2ç I have copied into the bts/mods dir. Then what ?

 

then start game exe and choose there c2c mod

 

Delete the old, then copy the new into the Mods folder. Make sure that in is Mods\Caveman2Cosmos and does not have an extra Cavemen2Cosmos in side it.

Then play.

 

Thanks Guys. Do I need to install Bug or Bat to get C2C to work?
