Listing of Diplomacy texts coded into XML so far:

Declare War
First Contact
Refuse to Speak
No Peace
Greetings Friendly
Greetings Furious
Demand Tribute Weaker/Equal/Stronger
Accept Offer
Thanks

These are the 11 that are currently coded into XML. There are many, many others that Firaxis uses generic speech for that can be adapted to WH. If you have requests, let me know.

Lol, i see what you mean now.

but i think you might have Naggaroth, Arabya and Lustria mixed up in the first post...should it be:

Naggaroth

Morathi - incomplete
Malekith - incomplete

Arabia

Jaffar - incomplete

Lustria

Mazdamundi - incomplete
Tenehuini - incomplete

or something like that? not sure what youre doing though:blush:

This is why I can edit. :D

I have my civs/leaders from an old copy of the Assets. I can see now that I need to d/l the new file Ploep keeps telling me about!

Are they the only civs/leaders mixed up so far? I didn't even have Lustria in my old file. :hmm:

no, the others look good to me

The Leaders are all listed in the Leaderartthread. Anything without the brackets behind is in the xml-file.;)

Thanks Ploep. I need to add in some of the new guys into the Civ4Diplomacy file soon.

Very nice progress.:goodjob:

Any idea when the Civilizations and Leaders XMLs will be "done" Ploep? Right now I need to set up the Diplo XML, but the leader names are in flux (at least compared to a month ago).

By done I mean not worked on by anyone other than myself for a week or 2.

All references for Diplo won't be changed anymore before the patch. Exept by you;)

The civinf will be changed for UUs that's all.

Jun 17, 2006, 12:56 PM
I also mean leader names as well. I don't mind LEADER_GROG because in a text file we can have that TXT_KEY_LEADER_GROG = Supreme Ruler Grog or something. So long as I know nothing else is changed I'll start making sure every one of the listed ones are in. Even the ones that say ? after the name can be left as is since we can alter a TXT_KEY entry and not the LEADER_NAME entry.

Ah sorry forgot about that! I will have another look at that and notify you here.

I never took the TXT_KEYs serious until I started modding a lot. Now they are your best friend. :)

Ok updated the threads. I don't have anymore changes unless P.L. has any it's fine with me. I'd say take em as they are now. We can add further changes if really needed after the patch. You can either use just the short names of the leaders and use their titles somewhere else in the diplotext or their full titles. Some names may be too long with the titles to show good in some menus. You have artistical freedom to decide wether you use them with title or without it in the current context;)

woodelf
Jun 17, 2006, 02:50 PM
Thanks Ploep. The full titles will come from a separate Text file that names the TXT_KEY_LEADER entries.

Yes they definitely are! Everybody who is doing at least some modding has to recognize this :D

Nice work P_L. I have all of "data" at work so I'll wait until tomorrow.

Other than Jose'Paul and Marco (and Wu which Ploep wants redone) the text that P_L has written is into the Diplomacy XML and corresponding text file (after about 5 hours of typing!).

Ploeperpengel
Jun 19, 2006, 12:57 PM
Hell! Think we really need an editor.:(

Duke van Frost
Jun 19, 2006, 01:07 PM
maybe we should post in the creation and customization to "hire" somebody who can provide us with such a thing.

Ploeperpengel
Jun 19, 2006, 01:12 PM
Yes I post a request. But don't think it will work. Anyway there's nothing to lose.

woodelf
Jun 19, 2006, 01:46 PM
Over half done so no need. The hardest part was setting up the Civ4Diplomacy XML file. A ton of c/p and then over-typing the 27 or so names. That's why I needed to make sure of the final LEADER_NAME. :)

Thankfully all I had to do was c/p P_L's text into another text file. Writing it as you go takes forever I found.

Ploeperpengel
Jun 19, 2006, 01:51 PM
Already posted the request this stuff won't be the last to type;)

Jun 20, 2006, 06:03 AM
Ploep - I added the Civ4Diplomacy file and the Text file in the first post. Simply remove the WH from the Civ4Diplomacy file and drop it into the GameInfo folder for it to work. The Text file can go into the Text folder as is. Also, I had to rename a .rar to a .zip :mad: It should work, but if it doesn't then PM me and I'll email the files to you.

woodelf
Jun 20, 2006, 06:54 AM
Updated with completed text. Text still needed for:

Jaffar
Tenehuini
Louen
Gilles
Baragor
Akabar
Lucan
Karl
Magnus
Haargroth
Katarin

No problem. Let me know if it opened alright Ploep.

Ploeperpengel
Jun 20, 2006, 11:34 AM
No it didn't open. In fact it messed up my downloadmanager so that I'm unable to dl even other zips. Had to delete it and am using another browser now:(

Sorry man. I hate that we can't upload .rar stuff.

Go here (http://www.filegone.com/wjjx). I put it on Filegone.

No matter! Who could have thought of something like this happening I can get a new dl-manager easily.:)

I've forgotten to update anything either. Work has become a bear, but I'll squeeze some time in.

woodelf
Jul 27, 2006, 07:36 AM
I've completely ignored this. Oops. If through playtesting we find some Leaders are without diplo text can we gather them here so I can ammend the situation.

Psychic_Llamas
Jul 27, 2006, 07:49 AM
sure thing:) i had forgotten about it too but, ohwell;)
i can still write up diplo for those we forgot, unless anyone else REALLY wants to;)

woodelf
Jul 27, 2006, 08:01 AM
:lol:

I think we (mostly you) did a great job so far. It won't be too hard on my end to c/p new Leaders in. I looked through the rest of the diplo text options and nothing was standing out as really needing to be converted to fantasy.

Psychic_Llamas
Jul 27, 2006, 08:44 AM
Awsome:D thanks Woodelf. well, im glad thats sorted then, one less thing to nned to worry about;)

But still, if there are any problems with any diplo, post it here and im sure Woodelf or i will fix it.:D

Ploeperpengel
Jul 27, 2006, 08:58 AM
I could if I got it;) So can we have a diplopatch? Remember Haargroth is renamed to Ragnar!

Psychic_Llamas
Jul 27, 2006, 09:01 AM
is that me or Woodelf?:lol:

Ploeperpengel
Jul 27, 2006, 12:38 PM
is that me or Woodelf?:lol:
I didn't receive any new file with the diplotxt. So I wonder what's the progress. When can we have the complete diplo? Since we're now in a phase of seriously playtesting it would be good to have it soon to clear the typos if there are any. - and close a chapter of developement.

woodelf
Jul 27, 2006, 12:48 PM
You have the file from June 20th in the mod right Ploep?

Honestly, I'll have to find out how much I need to add to that file to be "done".

woodelf
Jul 27, 2006, 12:58 PM
Found my files. Ragnar has been switched in now. I'm adding in Jaffar, Tenehuini, Louen, Gilles, and Baragor.

That leaves us needing Lucan, Karl, Magnus, Akabar, Katarin, and Boris.

Ploeperpengel
Jul 27, 2006, 01:05 PM
The text for most of them is already posted(if not all). Look into P.L.s thread. Thx

woodelf
Jul 27, 2006, 01:18 PM
I forgot about those. Thanks.

Psychic_Llamas
Jul 28, 2006, 03:08 AM
Hold on, do you mean you still need diplo for Lucan, Karl, Magnus, Akabar, Katarin, and Boris or you just havnt put it in?? because i distinctly remember typing them up...

woodelf
Jul 28, 2006, 05:25 AM
I haven't put them in yet. I honestly forgot we had 2 threads. :lol:

3 hours from now I should have a file up for Ploep.

Jul 28, 2006, 05:38 AM

Jul 28, 2006, 06:34 AM
Ok Ploep, here it is finally. It seems my work has blocked Filegone and I don't have winzip here, but I compressed the file as a zip so hopefully it will work. If not I'm taking the files home and I'll zip them up there.

Ploeperpengel
Jul 28, 2006, 07:38 AM
Thx I'll try immediatly:goodjob:

Edit: np with the zip;)

Duke van Frost

the Diplotext for Baragor when accepting a peace treaty starts with: "Minions! ..." I would suggest to replace Minions with something like Brothers or Clansmen (Minions isn´t respectfull enough for a Dwarf talking to his kind.

the Diplotext for Aenarion when refusing a deal ends with "..., friend [yourname]" I would suggest to cut the [yourname] - it just sounds funny!

woodelf
Jul 29, 2006, 07:45 PM
Oops, I forgot about the yourname brackets. I forgot how to change that...

Psychic_Llamas
Jul 29, 2006, 09:27 PM
