Procylon's Call to Power Project

[Feuteupool]

Don't be sorry, I am fine with it. I just don't want you guys to feel like you wasted your time if you ended up doing work that was already done.

So right now I have some of knatte_Anka's flags, and Feuteupool's consolidated flag atlas. Is the Marauder the only flag I need to delete, or are others duplicated as well?

Hi,

In the DDS and XML files that I sent you, there are the flags of all units (36), so all are in double.

Great. At some point I know I will need an Icon for Electricity, and probably some other producible resources(but that mod is broken so this further in the future). For natural resources that I would like to add at some point:
Coffee, Tobacco, Poppy, Crab, Alligator, Copper, Rice, Corn, Soybeans, Tea, Rare Earths, Titanium, HE3 (Helium 3, Fusion resource)...

Ok, i'll send you the first version of XML and DDS resource files today.

That is all I can think of for now. It may be a few months before I can add them in though. Once I finish my next 2 objectives I am going to have to look more into the process of resource addition.

Add resources is a simple process. The most complicated is to make sure they are properly generated in the map. This requires work on the file " Assets \ Gameplay \ Lua \ AssignStartingPlots.lua ".

If you want to learn more about the resources, I advise you the very good tutorial : How to add a new Resource of Kyoss.

Awesome! Hopefully it won't be too hard finding any text additions I make as I add content over time.

Every time you take out a new version, I compare my files with your new files with KDiff3 to determine differences. It's really simple and quick to see the changes with this very good software (KDiff3).

Hi,

In the DDS and XML files that I sent you, there are the flags of all units (36), so all are in double.

So I can delete the non-consolidated flag DDS's and only need to delete those 2 lines from the Marauder?

Ok, i'll send you the first version of XML and DDS resource files today.

Add resources is a simple process. The most complicated is to make sure they are properly generated in the map. This requires work on the file " Assets \ Gameplay \ Lua \ AssignStartingPlots.lua ".

Awesome.

I know adding resources isn't too hard. I just didn't want to add any until I got some icons at the least, but preferably some resource art for the map as well. But if you give me some Icons, maybe I will see about adding them and using some of the other resource art. The icons should make them stand out well enough.

And yeah, dealing with the AssignStartingPlots.lua was something I wanted to postpone as well, though I could probably modify it if I took some time to look at it.

If you want to learn more about the resources, I advise you the very good tutorial : How to add a new Resource of Kyoss.

I will definitely have that open when I begin adding some new resources.

Cool, I may have to check that program out sometime.

 

[Feuteupool]

So I can delete the non-consolidated flag DDS's and only need to delete those 2 lines from the Marauder?

Yes you just need "unitflagatlaswhiteTwo.dds" and "CIV5IconTextureAtlases.xml" that I sent you.

Yes only marauder has been coded with those 2 lines.

Awesome.

Ok, i'll send you first version of resource icons and tell me if you think them stand out well enough.

Hi,

Here the resource icons file v9.4 : Icons Resources

You can insert in your mod DDS files and update "CIV5IconTextureAtlases.xml" file, but you can insert "CIV5ResourceIcons.xml" because this file contains update of resource rows can't still exist in "CIV5Resources.xml".

Tell me if resource icons stand out well enough.

 

[Decimatus]

Pasted into my repository, thanks.

I actually just implemented Fermentation with the Brewery and Winery. I might put some more techs and buildings in before I upload before bed.

Overall it looks pretty good. Got some suggestions though.

Soybeans might be better with a pic that shows a bean or handful of beans instead of sprouts.
Rare earths might be better if they are refined, perhaps bar/ingot form.
Feels like there is too much happening in the Titanium icon. I like the shininess though.
Tobacco would be better as a wooden pipe, CtP style.
Coffee would also be better as a single large bean if you can find it. CtP style again.
Tea would be better as a teapot. Seeing a teabag on the map in ancient eras would look a little modern.
The copper spool might also feel a little too modern. Maybe make it a copper bar?


Do the icons also fit up on the top panel with the strategic resources?


Also, can you add Cocoa to the list? Just thought of it.

Ok, I look tonight for optimize your recommandations if they are possible.

Do the icons also fit up on the top panel with the strategic resources?

To add resources in top panel, you must to change these files :
- fonticons.dds
- CIV5IconFontMapping.xml and
- FontIcons.ggxml.
I read, in mod system, it's possible to change two fisrt files but not the last. So actually, with this version of civ, it's impossible to add strategic icons on the top panel without change FontIcons.ggxml directly in civ folder (not mod folder).

However, I already make strategic resource icons and I modified xml and ggxml file, then I'll send to you tonight.

Also, can you add Cocoa to the list? Just thought of it.

Ok i add it.

Hmm, well hopefully they make changes to allow this sometime soon then. Though, I don't quite need any new strategics for now.

The luxuries and bonus resources should keep me pretty busy.

V9 Updated:

54 Fixed various small bugs.
55 Updated City State Gold Gifts and Food rewards to match the new yield system. Militant CS's also give units more often. Let me know if you see any issues or if influence degrades too quickly..
56 Changed the AI's diplomatic perception of the weight of gold gifts to match the yield system.
57 Largely modified the building yield system. Many of the yield per pop modifiers didn't really feel right, so while many still have these modifiers, most were changed to % modifiers, flat rate yields, or resource improving.
58 Changed the core government yields system. Dropped the % mods for food/prod/gold, and increased the base yield increases for improvements. Also, the gold and production yields now apply to the specialists.
59 Specialist slots greatly reduced, especially in the early eras.
60 3 New Techs; Fermentation(ECO), Sports(SOC), Economy of Scale(ECO)
61 3 New Buildings; Brewery, Winery, and Olympics.
62 Wine no longer grows on vines. Grapes do.
63 Added Wonder Splash Images for Dinosaur Park and Virtual Securities Exchange. Thank DrBalthar.
64 Removed(finally) the agriculture audio from all the new techs.
As of January 19


Hopefully this is the last time, at least in V9-V10, that the yield system has a major change. Let me know how the balance is feeling. I will be expanding the Social and Economics trees from here on out. I might even add some new resources to the map soon, if I get a handle on the assignstartingplots lua.

[Cross Cowboy]

Well since the 2k site is down, im DL'ing it from here and looking forward to testing it out. I took your advice(im jmccrea70 there) and did the normal game, but I didnt enjoy it as much as I was getting new techs just about every 2 turns once I hit the modern era. I guess im just to used to slow games lol.

EDIT 1-Plantation is not working, still says it wants calender, even though its under a new tech.

 

[seamus75]

Still can't get the MOD installed. Had hoped a new version would correct whatever was causing the problem, but it didn't. Are there plans to eventually get it available through the in-game MOD browser? I think I remember someone saying it was too large for that. I hope whatever is going on works itself out as this MOD is the only reason I continue to play CiV. I'll keep trying and keep my fingers crossed.

i just a question about Wonder movie.. were i can't check to know wich format and settings must be used ton include a movie for a specific wonder?

exemple : i want to change the sphinx wonder movie to another one were must i need to check the information (were to found them ) for know if my movie can be used or not and if not how can i resolve that for have it compatible?
You mean you want a movie and not just an image? I am not sure if that is possible, but DrBalthar made the new splash images, so you might PM him on the 2k forums and ask.

haaa ok that's explain why i can't found information about MOVIe yes i was wondering if we can have little movie like CTP have hehehe.

thank you for the information i will PM him about that so.

now i look for ICONS too it's seem to be complicated for me i have plenty of texture file in .DDS format but it's not usefull like that badly.... as i see it's totaly different settings and .dds pics arent' *file per file* it's a set of files

but i still look the tutorial then i can try if i can do something or not

 

[Redx]

noticed a little bug perhaps.. with city-states. when i went to cross once in there land only one turn there apreciation degraded as normal..but when i left there apreciation continued to degrade itself....

okay the mod works great...try going where you instaled it in your explorer and delete it manually then download the one one this site.. then simply drop the file in the mods file (dont put it in a file) leave it as is then launche game mod browse mod and click install. and done it will work.

if your using win7 it should be in user/you/my documents/games/civ5/mods

 

[seamus75]

Thanks Redx. That's exactly what I've been doing, and it worked fine until about two updates back. Like I said, I'll keep trying and hope for the best. I think someone else posted they were having similar problems and with persistence got it to work.

You can try installing it manually as follows:
Download the mod browse on over to My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\ folder and paste it here then take that <modname>.civ5mod and rename it to a <modname>.7z file. Download the program 7-zip install it then use it to extract the mod file. So you have a folder structure as follows My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\<modname>. Load up civ and it should be there to select

 

[seamus75]

You are brilliant! It works, -and in your honor I shall name my first born after you. FiresForever McKuhen has a nice ring to it.

Yeah sometimes I am as lost as you with dds files and everything else. Just glad there are people who are into graphical modding.

noticed a little bug perhaps.. with city-states. when i went to cross once in there land only one turn there apreciation degraded as normal..but when i left there apreciation continued to degrade itself....

Yeah at first I did that accidentally but then decided to leave it and see how it turned out.

So, if you piss off the CS, they might eventually go to war with you unless you pay them off.

What do you guys think, leave the old return to 0 system, or have the CS influence degrade to war if you don't repair the damages?
