Theov, I did my own
spaceship victory for CCM (callled "Race to the Moon") some years ago and this was my knowledge about it:
A. The links:
1. You can do links to the
pediaicons file (showing images).
Each of these links normally goes
to a single special building (=spaceship part). This is also the name of the link used in the editor for the "spaceship part" (=building).
2. You can do links to the
civilopedia file (not showing images, but text and this text can contain a
mulitude of links to entries in the pediaicons file.
In the civilopedia you have to do two entries for a concept:
a) An entry in the concept list (for CCM per example: GCON_Race_to_the_Moon) and:
b) The concept entry (for CCM per example: #GCON_Race_to_the_Moon
As an example here is the complete entry for the concept "Race to the Moon":
#GCON_Race_to_the_Moon
{Race to the Moon}
^
^To win the space race $LINK<victory=GCON_Victory>, you have to be the first to land on the moon. The space missions are comprised of the following projects:
^
^{Prerequisite:} First complete the $LINK<National Space-Center=BLDG_National_Space-Center> (Small Wonder).
^
^{Earth Orbit}
^
^$LINK<Sputnik=BLDG_Sputnik>
^$LINK<Control Center=BLDG_Control_Center>
^$LINK<Man in Orbit=BLDG_Man_in_Orbit>
^
^{The Gemini Project}
^
^$LINK<Space Capsule=BLDG_Space_Capsule>
^$LINK<Space Rendevouz=BLDG_Space_Rendevouz>
^$LINK<Space Walk=BLDG_Space_Walk>
^
^{The Apollo Program}
^
^$LINK<Saturn V Rocket=BLDG_Saturn_V_Rocket>
^$LINK<Lunar Rover=BLDG_Lunar_Rover>
^$LINK<Lunar Lander=BLDG_Lunar_Lander>
^$LINK<Moon Landing=BLDG_Moon_Landing>
^
^Although these missions can be done in any order, they are normally completed in the sequence: Earth Orbit - Gemini Project - Apollo Program.
B. Additionally you should do an entry in the civilopedia containing the victory conditions.
Here is the example of CCM:
#GCON_Space_Race
{Space Race}
^
^To win the space race $LINK<victory=GCON_Victory>, you have to be the first to land on the moon. The space missions are comprised of the following projects:
^
^{Prerequisite:} First complete the $LINK<National Space-Center=BLDG_National_Space-Center> (Small Wonder).
^
^{Earth Orbit}
^
^$LINK<Sputnik=BLDG_Sputnik>
^$LINK<Control Center=BLDG_Control_Center>
^$LINK<Man in Orbit=BLDG_Man_in_Orbit>
^
^{The Gemini Project}
^
^$LINK<Space Capsule=BLDG_Space_Capsule>
^$LINK<Space Rendevouz=BLDG_Space_Rendevouz>
^$LINK<Space Walk=BLDG_Space_Walk>
^
^{The Apollo Program}
^
^$LINK<Saturn V Rocket=BLDG_Saturn_V_Rocket>
^$LINK<Lunar Rover=BLDG_Lunar_Rover>
^$LINK<Lunar Lander=BLDG_Lunar_Lander>
^$LINK<Moon Landing=BLDG_Moon_Landing>
C: And you also should do a special entry in the pediaicons file of the building (mostly a SW) that allows the Spacerace Victory.
Here is the example for the National Space Center, that allows this kind of victory in CCM:
#BLDG_National_Space-Center
^{Civs: } All.
^
^{Effects:} Enables the civilization to begin the $LINK<Race to the Moon=GCON_Spaceship>.
^
^{Happiness:} 0
^{Produces:} None
^{Character:} scientific
#DESC_BLDG_National_Space-Center
^
D. And of course you should do an entry for each part of the time machine in the pediaicons file.
Here is an example of CCM for the Sputnik, that is one part of the Space Race in that mod:
#BLDG_Sputnik
^The [Sputnik} is one of ten space missions to achieve a $LINK<Space Race=GCON_Victory> victory.
^
^{Earth Orbit:}
^[Sputnik], $LINK<Control Center=BLDG_Control_Center>, $LINK<Man in Orbit=BLDG_Man_in_Orbit>.
^
^{The Gemini Project:}
^$LINK<Space Capsule=BLDG_Space_Capsule>, $LINK<Space Rendevouz=BLDG_Space_Rendevouz>, $LINK<Space Walk=BLDG_Space_Walk>
^
^{The Apollo Program:}
^$LINK<Saturn V Rocket=BLDG_Saturn_V_Rocket>, $LINK<Lunar Rover=BLDG_Lunar_Rover>, $LINK<Lunar Lander=BLDG_Lunar_Lander>, $LINK<Moon Landing=BLDG_Moon_Landing>
#DESC_BLDG_Sputnik

^The modern exploration of space began in October 1957 when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik one. This tiny satellite orbited the earth for 57 days, providing information on radiation and other phenomena in the upper atmosphere. In less than a year, the United States had also launched a satellite, Explorer one. This started the "space race", years of competition between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. to achieve new frontiers in space exploration.
