Modding and Scripting / Editing Campaign missions

« Last post by Egi on Jul 01, 2020, 10:31 am »

Hello Guys,

i enjoy changing skirmish maps balance, with editing village tribes or increasing the difficulty by giving me less useful wonders than the enemy.

Now to my question: Is there a way to change tribes/spells in the main story line? i'd like to increase difficulty by that. For example: Removing Food/Wood wonders for my starting Japanese village in Mission 2.

thanks.

Modding and Scripting / Fan patch 1.42 problem

« Last post by Lear on Jun 25, 2020, 12:40 am »

The patch describtion says that it allows you to skip tutorial on a fresh install, but in my game, after creating a profile it just goes straight to the regular start of the game... so what's up?

General Discussion / Big thanks after 19 Years

« Last post by schlack on Jun 19, 2020, 12:49 pm »

Hello at All,

after 19 years yesterday and 6 or 7 tries I finished BW the very first time.
As a child, I didn't understand how the wonders work.
Also 19 years later I was happy to read so much in this Forum.

Thank you

Technical Help / Picture cut off as soon as resolution is higher than 800x600

« Last post by Sacume on Jun 12, 2020, 08:39 am »

Hi guys,
i have the problem (and I read about several people who have the same issue), that my picture is cut off. But only in Fullscreen-Mode.
In WindowMode, i dont have that problem. I cant play in windowmode though, because I always leave the window with my mouse unintentionally.

Here were my install-steps.

- Installed B&W
- Patched to 1.10 , then 1.20, and then the Fanpatch 1.4

I have only 1 Screen (2560x1440 native).
If i set the resolution in the Setup to 800x600 its working, but its REALLY pixelated and ugly as you can imagine.
If i set the resolution to anything higher than that, the screen is cut off. I tried every possible resolution, Windowed-Mode/Fullscreen-Mode.
Nothing solves my problem.

I have a Geforce 1080 TI, if that matters.

Does anyone know, what I could do?

Technical Help / BW and CI freeze some minutes during the loading screens

« Last post by Kratzean on Jun 10, 2020, 10:58 pm »

Black&White (and CI) have problems with loading. To load something, the game needs 2 minutes instead of some seconds. At the beginning of the Loading Screen, the game freezes for nearly the most of the time. The Loading Progress itself is normal.

I am Using Windows 8.1 and don't change the operating system in the last time. To make the PC faster, I opened my Pc and removed dust from the hardware, cleaned the PC with cleanig tools and make more speed with boost tools, but the problem is still exists.

I also reinstalled BW and used an unmodified version of CI, but it still doesn't works. I also tried most different settings from the setup.exe file. And all new patches are installed. Also I have automatic update active.

I doesn't have any ideas, I tried all... Until I can't fix it, I can't make much in modding BW or streaming the islands...

Got it to work nicely but if i want to play on my native resolution 1920x1080 the game is offset, if i set the settings to 1600x900 the game fills the screen properly. 1920x1080 https://imgur.com/uijWLAz

Do you use more than one monitor?

In that case, enter the Windows Display Settings and change the monitor setting to "only use 1".
If you have more than one monitor with the duplicate or extend option it'll mess up the games display.
