SICK! Awesome looking mod, cannot wait to try it out.
Zyxpsilon  [author] 1 Sep, 2017 @ 12:39pm 
No .. sorry.

is there a vanilla version of this mod?
IkeFanboy64 28 May, 2016 @ 8:00pm 
Yeah, My fault, Great mod though, Best UI overhaul i've seen.
Zyxpsilon  [author] 27 May, 2016 @ 7:33pm 
Reloading is always recommended, btw! ;) Glad it's alright now for you, though.
IkeFanboy64 27 May, 2016 @ 7:16pm 
Nevermind, It's Fixed. I think it's glitched untill you reload your game. Sorry
Zyxpsilon  [author] 27 May, 2016 @ 6:52pm 
Thanks.. but i haven't been "updating" this mod for almost two years now & i wouldn't be willing to adapt to whatever else might conflict with it. Unless the author of that "Barbarians Evolved" mod should want to make alterations to *ITS" code for compatibility.. you're out of luck, sorry!
IkeFanboy64 27 May, 2016 @ 6:11pm 
I want to inform you that I seem to have found this mod to conflict with another, I belive it to be
"Barbarians Evolved"

Glad i could lead you to such success, Germy. That's part of a Modder's task... give proper support to subscribers like you! :)

Finally! Four-and-a-half days, and I finally got it working! Thanks for all your help, btw! :D

Very nearly there buddy! Your newly edited TenetsInColors.XML file (possibly with >90< values) simply needs to replace the default version of the same name.
The Seventh Soul 23 Feb, 2016 @ 7:21pm 
Alright. Now I'm in "C:\Users\Germy\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\ZNW-Symbolic Ideology Tenets (v 1)". I see the folders ART, SQL, UI, and XML. Which should I put the patch file (Tenetsincolors) in?
Zyxpsilon  [author] 22 Feb, 2016 @ 10:40am 
You are in the wrong location on that drive (or another, btw... if you have a multi-HDD system). This is supposed to be into your "USER/SETTINGS" + "MyDocuments" structure (possibly named Germy or something). That's where all of your Civ5 gameplay saves (plus -- Cache, Logs, Replays, etc) are kept as well. Any other MODS are also installed in the previously mentionned path.
The Seventh Soul 22 Feb, 2016 @ 9:48am 
That's odd. When I open the Civ5 folder, I get the files "Assets, Debug, DirectX, EULA, Locale, Miles, Resource, Tutorials, VCredist", but not Mods. I tried copying and pasting "Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS", and it gave me an error saying "Windows can't find this file".
Zyxpsilon  [author] 21 Feb, 2016 @ 4:32pm 
Once edited with lower values, that new file should be inserted in *this* folder; C:\--Your--Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\ZNW-Symbolic Ideology Tenets (v 1)\XML\TenetsInColors.xml" ... to replace the previous version by the same name.
The Seventh Soul 21 Feb, 2016 @ 2:06pm 
Huh. Weird; I downloaded the file and put it in "Sid Meier's Civilization V\Assets\DLC\Expansion\UI\FrontEnd\Modding" and replaced the 90 codes in that document, and am still getting overly bright UIs; am I putting it in the wrong folder? Did I do something wrong? I still have the original file, though.
Zyxpsilon  [author] 20 Feb, 2016 @ 5:52pm 
Germy Fever... there is a workaround solution to the "Too Bright" effect... it's an opacity trick that we've already built into the XML process. The rational thinking was that under certain Gamma settings on anyone's PC & their specific V-Cards, the default HSL gamut of textures aren't rendering correctly. Here's a direct link to the solution;

Please apply it or fix the recommended "values" as instructed. Contact me again if you need to! ;)

if people are enslaved why do capitalists want less taxes for their own. I mean taxes in the USSR were around 95% if that's not slavery i don't know what is. Old America used to have far lower taxes before FDR and the second wave of proggresives in the late 20s/30s. People used to keep all of the fruits of their own labour. Let's return to those days. Anyways for Order I would add more Stalinist images
The Seventh Soul 20 Feb, 2016 @ 1:37pm 
The Ideological Tenets seem kinda... bright; like the resolution is off or something. Is there a chance you might update this mod?

Also, let commies be commies and capitalists be capitalists. If the individuals who believe in the ideologies themselves are not hurting anyone, they have every right to believe what they wish IMO. :P
Zyxpsilon  [author] 18 Feb, 2016 @ 5:18pm 
Not going to walk down that road again. But as a final thought; we're all the 99% -- enslaved by the few... poisoned from generations of brain-washing calamities.
DerigarsChairman 18 Feb, 2016 @ 4:36pm 
Also he was a racist here's a quote "the classes and the races, too weak to master the new conditions of life, must give way... They must Perish in the revolutionary holocaust Karl Marx
Karl Marx. People's Paper. April 16 1854 (not sure about year date cause the tie in the image is the color of the words), Journal of the history of Ideas Vol 42 no. 1 1981.
DerigarsChairman 18 Feb, 2016 @ 4:33pm 
Wow so you think the "corporations" (which are just ordinary shareholders for the most part), are worse than Joseph Stalin and the Communist Philosophy. Capitalism is freedom and liberty it's why we have steam and gaming and all. These things woulden't exist in Stalin's USSR. The reason we are so free in America is because of entrepenurs and capitalists. Without capitalism we would all be slaves to the state as human beings have been for almost all of human history. Also Marx was an occultist and he's burning in hell for all eternity now.
Zyxpsilon  [author] 5 Nov, 2015 @ 10:23am 
The real Truth will one day be heard by the masses -- but, it certainly won't be revealed by political or religious minds... "Freedom is just an artificial dream". So it's about time for some more reality check; properly educated people will soon (but not never!) stop being fooled by such monsters of Capitalism & abusive corporate profits (sic-Inflation).

How's that for context, elketro? ;)
Kessilwig 4 Nov, 2015 @ 5:11pm 
nah, anti-theism was a leninist/stalinist thing. there's a bunch of other communist views on religion (the whole "opium of the masses" is like many other things taken out of context and misinterperted).
DerigarsChairman 3 Aug, 2015 @ 9:32am 
true the great prophet is great however order represents communism, communism kinda hated religon, so a great engineer would make much more sense
Zyxpsilon  [author] 2 Aug, 2015 @ 6:05pm 
To the Firaxis designers, it *DID* make sense. So i will have to quote their own Tenet description for Hero of the People ;
" The rate at which Great People are born is increased by 25%. "
DerigarsChairman 24 Jul, 2015 @ 10:51am 
how does order and a great prophet make sense
Zyxpsilon  [author] 26 Jun, 2015 @ 10:46pm 
Glad you like it, Amoeba! ;)
battery acid 13 Jun, 2015 @ 5:54am 
This is splendid, just what I've been looking for!
Zyxpsilon  [author] 28 Dec, 2014 @ 9:24am 
Nope... there wasn't any intentional "gentler" choices made. Generally, it's in simple relation with some philosophical (random) meanings of such colors.
Makeash 17 Dec, 2014 @ 2:37pm 
Was the colourings done to intentionally make it seem that freedom is gentler on the eyes? I don't dissagree with order being red or anything, it's just that it has a dark appeal to it.
Zyxpsilon  [author] 20 Aug, 2014 @ 7:55pm 
Glad i could help you, Roger.
RogerMurdock 19 Aug, 2014 @ 2:15pm 
Yeah! It works. Thanks for the quick response.
Zyxpsilon  [author] 17 Aug, 2014 @ 8:00pm 
You're having the same issue as someone else on CFC. Luckily, there's an easy fix for this... in the follwoing thread :: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=13367882#post13367882

In Post #8... the file --Opacity_fix(90).zip-- alters the necessary values. Just change yours with it!!
RogerMurdock 17 Aug, 2014 @ 4:22pm 
First, thanks for this great Mod. This is the one I was looking for all the time since BNW came out.
There is only one problem: my images are way to bright and I don't know why. No other Mod is activted. I have a screenshot at my hub.
Zyxpsilon  [author] 6 Aug, 2014 @ 2:04pm 
SIT shouldn't conflict with Reform&Rule... except that my images mostly won't match with its complex data and various changes to Tenet effects.
Havelock Vetinari 6 Aug, 2014 @ 10:03am 
I really like this mod, but I really like reform-and-rule too :/

Decisions, decisions

Answer #2; Korea-Choson or Freaky-Babylon. I like anything Sci-Fi -- hit me, but not too hard please. Soooo - i'll certainly go waaayyy >>Beyond Earth<< too... soon!
PixelConglamorate 5 Aug, 2014 @ 9:31am 
Depends on what I'm doing. I usually pick Order, as the tenents are really useful, but recently I started doing Freedom, mostly because the AI picks it a lot. New deal is also really useful.

As for civs, switch too much to tell.
Mewtuii 5 Aug, 2014 @ 9:08am 
mine is Brazil and Russia
Mewtuii 5 Aug, 2014 @ 9:07am
