This mod currently for Vanilla Civ adds 10 new Wonders of the World to the game, most of which employ either new Artwork or newly coded effects or Both.

The mod requires a set of Custom Assets from the Civ 4 Core Community Project , download the following Zip and replace your CustomAssets folder with its (if you have modified resorces in your Custom Assets just move it to a safe location and switch it back when your done playing). Failure to do so will result in many XML errors durring loading due to new Schemas and XML tags. This package should be back compatable with vanilla mods that dont use any modified DLL or Python Event managers but the new New Wonders will run only when this package is also loaded.

DOWNLOAD CUSTOM ASSESTS >>> http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads12/CCCP-CustomAssets.zip

The Mods actualy contents (art files and XML) are contained in the attached file which should be placed in the Mod directory and invoked as a normal Mod would be.

In addition some existing Wonders were Modified

Eiffel Tower (lost it original effect to CN tower) now provides 20,000 Culture to its City upon Completion, the equivilent of 5 Great Artist Bombs!

Notra Dame now gives all temples an additional Happiness making it far more usefull

The Sisten Chapel and Oracle were incressed in size

Congradulations to all the Artists who made this work possible and inspired me on the coding side of the Project, I'm already planning more Wonders for the next version such as the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Silk Road. Sugjestions on balancing the attributes such cost, effect, tech pre-requisite ect ect would be most welcome. New effects can be coded if nessary. I also intend to buy Warlords soon and port all the code their and continue from that point (Obviously droping Temple of Artemis)

REVISION HISTORY

0.1 Initial Release

0.2 Added Big Ben Button and Code Button
 
Buttons for CodeofHammurabi this picture version is better and SpringField Armory I like this for SpringField Armory.
 
Opps looks like I forgot the Big Ben Button, the Code of Hammurabi button created by the original artist had a bad format (.tga) which was crashing the game, I realy liked it though (it was a close up of the actual slab) so I'm asking him to reformat it.

Roamty: If your interested in making Buttons I still need an Armory button, I was thinking of 2 crossed 6 shooter style pistols or a picture of the Armory building (assuming you can find a picture of it)

Version 0.2 with BBB and temporary Code Button included
 
What parts of the CCCP are needed?
Because my DLL is modified in another way... and I don't want to merge trhe whole CCCP, though I don't want all these addins or though I have already added this addin to my DLL.
 
The code is spread over a number of files, get a copy at our Sourceforge site (dont use the 1.610001a download thats out of date, get the code directly from the CVS dev branch, I recomend Tortise CVS to easily grab the latest source code).

http://sourceforge.net/projects/civ4ccp/

I'll see if I can get a SourceCode Download as well

Each new XML tag has been noted in the source and you can search by it to find the code that triggering the effect, many of the effects involve new Data members for the City, Player or Unit classes.

Remember all the modifications in the CCCP are inactive by the default and wont change game play unless activated. What SDK mods are you using, we might already include them.
 
Just wanted to say good work.

I liked most of them.
Just a suggestion for future versions (concerning the Temple of Artemis)

I would suggest changing the name to a Temple of ______ (fill in greek/roman god here) I guess any mythos could be used, but the building does have a greco-roman appearance.

Temples for the other gods existed, obviously not as well known or as great as the other ones.

just a couple suggestions:

Ares - Have something to do with war (free promotions?) or maybe a Barracks in each city on continent?
Demeter - Free Granery in each city on continent. or +1 Food to Farms etc...
Poseidon - Maybe +2 experience points to Navel Units, or more Sea trade routes...
*I actually used the "Magellens Navigation" graphic and used it as a "Norse Epic" similar to the Heroic Epic but just for Navel units. the sea trade routes is overdone too w/ the lighthouse
Aphrodite - I would think this would have to revolve around culture or happiness. No idea right now.
Hephaestus - Maybe +100% hammers.
*This "real" temple is actually the best preserved of all the remains.

I suppose Temples for Hera, Hermes, Vesta, etc... could be used, but relating their "Area" to an in-game mechanism would be more difficult.

Ones that probably shouldnt be used.
Athena - The Pathenon is the temple to athena... so she is out
Zeus - Graphics are already included in warlords to the Statue for one of the scenarios.

anyway just a suggestion.
