Civ IV + Warlords Exp Cracks Leopard 10.5.2 [MAC]

Hi! Here's a compilation i made to make Civilizations IV work on Leopard 10.5.2 Some people i think are having problems so i hope this would make their jobs easier. This is my first upload so please bear with me. Constructive criticism and other comments are very much welcome. Otherwise, please don't bother to add incendiary comments. Or else i might just stop trying to help out altogether. Just unzip the file and place the cracks on the directory you installed Civilizations for and the Expansion. Then run each crack starting with Civilization IV NODVD - point it to the Civilization IV.app file, then Civilizations IV 1.61 - point it to the same file, then Civilization IV Warlords and point it to the Civilization IV Warlords.app file. Again, comments are all welcome. I owe a lot greatly to the file uploaded by kijulama here: http://thepiratebay.se/tor/3872926/Civilization_IV_for_MAC__universal It's one hell of a superb game. Kudos also to the members who made various comments and instructions to help people out, including me. Ciao!

So, has anybody had any success with these cracks aside from me? Feedback would be appreciated so that I'd know if the upload was worth it or not. Thanks.

I just want to make sure I understand what this patch does. I already have the nocd and stuff,
so I have to a reinstall to change to these cracks.
so does this make the 213 patch playable, or it has nothing to do with that?

waykurat (2008-05-10)

No need for your other cracks, patches, etc. Just download the files from kijulama, install the game using the installer, install the update, install the expansion, then unzip the cracks here to the same folder and run each one of them according to the order i indicated above. It's a patch and a no-cd sa well.
Basically, it just replaces the cracks/no-cd in the original file by kijulama since those won't work on Leopard 10.5.2 without having to tinker with the cracks themselves (a rather time-consuming and confusing process). So, I'm doing the dirty work for those with Leo 10.5.2. :D
Hope it works out for you as fine as it did for me.

FrozenGonad (2008-05-10)

I'm downloading this now and hoping it will work. I just want to play Civ IV on 10.5.2 and the crack crashes. I tried putting in the new iPatcher. Still won't work. I"m hoping this seed will fix things up.
I'll let everybody know if it works.
Thanks for the effort waykurat.

FrozenGonad (2008-05-10)

OK, I managed to patch Civilization 4 v1.61 [build 9220] Beta using the patch named Civilization IV NoDVD & NoCPU that you provided. Great work. I haven't played it for long but it booted up and all seems well on my iMac running 10.5.2
However, I had to run the patch using Pseudo to avoid the "permissions" issues.
Is there any chance you could fix up some of the more recent Civ IV patches waykurat? I know of the latest version located here ---> http://www.mediafire.com/?fy0lwnmmnil
password for file is mofostw
Great seed BTW :)

FrozenGonad (2008-05-10)

the beta version worked

waykurat (2008-05-10)

Hello FrozenGonad,
Good to know that some of the files worked for you.
As to your request, I'll look into it. Downloading the file now. I am, however, unaware more "recent" Civ IV patches. Cause mine has been working so far, so good, and so well along with the Expansion through the files i uploaded.
Can you give me an idea what the recent patch provides? And why the necessity to still run it? Thanks!

waykurat (2008-05-10)

And by the way to all who will try to use the cracks, i think it would be worthwhile to note what FrozenGonad did to resolve "permissions" issues first before applying the cracks.
As for my experience, it was sufficient to directly change the permissions in entire directory as follows:
"Get Info on the Civilization IV directory. Open the bottom tab (Sharing & Permissions). You should have to click the lock in the bottom right and enter your system password to be able to change these. Once you've done this, change the Privilege entry for each group to Read & Write. Then, click the icon that looks like a gear (left of the lock icon) and choose "Apply to enclosed items." This should resolve any permissions issues.'
The above instructions were kindly provided by Andyr005 (instruction #15) who posted this comment on the original upload by kijulama.
Cheers!

I tried to do what you suggested in your last post waykurat - for some reason I don't have an option to choose 'apply to enclosed items' when I click the little gear? The only options I have are 'revert changes'..can you offer any other suggestions? Thanks :)

gingermac (2008-05-11)

Sorry, disregard my last comment. I've got it working now, thanks!

riotofwords (2008-05-11)

Just installed, and the game seems to be running just fine.

sjkiss (2008-05-27)

This doesn't work. It says I have to change the permissions for a bunch of files, I select that and then it says errors, it didn't work.

Azriel6290 (2008-05-28)

I recently downloaded Civ IV, I didn't use the link below and instead downloaded just the game (not the game with the expansion).
The crack that came with it was not compatible with 10.5.2 so downloaded this file. However when I try to apply the cracks to the app file for Civilization IV, it states that it is unable to patch the file.
I checked and I do not know how to apply the 1.6.1 beta update. How can I get around this problem?

Azriel6290 (2008-05-29)

Never mind, I managed to get the game to work =P

sludgehead (2008-06-03)

Every time I try and use any of the cracks they unexpectedly quit. I've followed the instructions but i'm not getting any luck. Am I doing something wrong?
I'm running 10.5.3 if that makes a difference.

stendec123 (2008-06-05)

does this works with warlords 2.13 patch?

ScottUK (2008-06-19)

This Crack does not work with the 2.13 version of Warlords. On writing, I have searched the web high and low for a crack to allow me to play this (big) update to Warlords, but have come up with nothing. If anyone can post a link to a crack for Warlords 2.13 for Mac, I would be much obliged.

Teslacoil33 (2008-06-20)

Opened Civilization IV NoDVD & NoCPU and it said I couldn't patch that file, Civilization IV 1.61 NoCPU & NoDVD worked, as did Civilization IV Warlords UBCrack. And I can now play the game so overall I would say it was a success. Thanks a ton waykurat.

frowdow (2008-08-01)

this works perfectly for me on 10.4.5
i went straight on to the patch for "Civilizations IV 1.61" and didn't even use the first patch

dmtrschld (2008-11-13)

I have 10.5.4 and I'm having the same problem that sludgehead is having. I'd really like to play this game so if you know of any way to fix it, that would be great.

waykurat (2009-01-18)

Just got to read some of the comments here (been offline for quite a long time). Has anybody else been experiencing the "sudden quitting of patch program" when it's run? I really don't know why it just quits. Anybody has more details? I'm willing to help but i've no idea where to start since it worked perferctly on my machine. :(

mongobah (2009-02-27)

here's the error message I get when I try to apply the cracks

lotancio (2009-06-13)

waykurat, i have a problem. i'm just trying to play the Civ4 w/o the expansion. when i try using the crack after i've changed the permission settings it shows "cannot apply patch to this file".
is anyone else experiencing the same problem?
just in case, how do i update the version? could be that i'm doing this wrong. would appreciate help from you guys. this is driving me nuts!

warprincenataku (2010-05-31)

Can I run this on 10.4 Tiger? I downloaded the 10.5 version, but I'm not sure which files I need not install.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
