Error Opening File For Writing Steam
What exactly am I supposed to do to make BAT work with Steam BTS?The situation is as follows -the desktop BTW shortcut says steam://rungameid/8800I see the game is installed in DocumentsMy GamesBeyond the swordBAT exe file successfully completes the installation procedure, but mentions that it cannot locate bts as described earlierupon said completion I start BTS normally and no trace of BAT is there. It also creates a desktop shortcut that leads nowhere (it says C:Civ4 Beyond the swordbts.exe or something like that IIRC)What do I need to do?

Click to expand.I don't have a Steam version, so I can't be 100% sure, but this should work.First, obtain the BAT 4.1.zip file from here:Unzip the file into DocumentsMy GamesBeyond the SwordModsRun BTS as normal. BAT should show up.The reason the installer doesn't work is that the installer can't see the Steam registry keys. Since I don't have a Steam copy of BTS, I can't make the installer see it. For Steam users, the only way to get BAT installed is to use the zip file. Sorry, but I can't do much about it, unless someone wants to export their Windows registry and post it, but that's a security issue. The Steam version doesn't load BTS mods from the My Games folder.
File Error In Word
You have to go into the application folder, steamapps/common/Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword/Beyond the Sword/MODS(Beyond the Sword is subfoldered twice)I think the reason is because The Steam version treats BTS as its own game and not a DLC or expansion or things like that. So it has its own folder. But then it has to recreate the folder structure that the game originally had (because why bother doing anything nasty like refactoring), which was a Beyond The Sword folder in the Civ IV app folder.Anyway, put the BAT folder in the MODS folder I mentioned, and then you'll load it up each time you play, explicitly. I think there's a way to config civ to run a certain mod by default, but I don't know it.
