We at C2C have it worked out in BUG format for the Heroic Promotion to work, can you pls check and see if it is correct, thx:

So whats the difference between this and mine beside changing the promotion name 
Anyway, I added a similar domain check for newer ones.
It is to prevent it from triggering when a land unit walks into a city and destroy ships and planes.
As I said, you can remove the AI part when your promotion has many other XML benefits.

So the coding is correct then?? And where is this red portion?

Means you downloaded an old version
Anyway, shouldn't be difficult for your python coders.
Just add a if condition to check winner and loser domain similar.

HI plat, I am trying to add your leech promotion, to use as a 'canabalism' promo, but I can't seem to get it to work, to my eye there is no python stuff in the download except for your A.I. Promotion bit in the events manager?
any thoughts?

Hi Spi't,
I tried the download and take a peek.
There is nothing wrong in it, you missed out the important part in the python, which is onCombatResult.
For most of them, you can just use Find function and type in the promo name to see where is the commented part, for this case just find leech.
As for the AI part, it is not really important if your Cannibalism promotion has other XML effects.
It is only required if it is a totally python promotion.

hmmmm... I did a search for leech in the file and all i could find was the AI bit, I will have another look, clearly I messed something up
EDIT: Ok NO Idea how I missed that first time around.... what I get for working sleepy i guess cheers Plat!
Ok I am trying to merge it with a BUG based mod, and I get python errors after combat, I confess I have almost no knowledge of the right way to do things with python.
Could you take a look a tell me ho I messed it up
If you know
Also would it be possible to add a message when it does it? A basic 'You Ate Him!' Kind of thing.
Cheers

indentation is wrong.
I guess you have to shift the leech promo codes all by 1 tab to be in line with
pWinner,pLoser = argsList
Another way would be to cut out all the variable definitions,
and define them before that
if (AutologOpt.isLogCombat()):
line, just like what default BTS is doing.
To add a line of message, you can take a look at some existing ones like Rally.
Not at coding computer.

Cheers platy, that seems to have removed the error, really i want the message most of all so that I know it is actually firing
It got rid of the errors, but I can't get any of my message attempts to fire, and I am not sure the effect is firing either...

Curious about the dynamics you programmed for a few of those more subject to interpretation tag descriptions on your traits.
Particularly:
Particularly:
- Drafts on city capture - you mean it automatically drafts units from the captured city right? How does it work exactly? (I'm asking about the logic sequence and how it carries out - not the coding.)
- No Relationship Penalty for Nukes - what's the full extent here? Does this mean you negate diplomatic penalties for owning nukes or for actually using them? Does it count for ALL nuke related penalties, both from the 3rd party nations AND the nation you nuke or something else entirely?
- 4 Turns of Disorder for cities nuked - Does this mean you actually limit the amount of disorder time once you've captured a city you've nuked or am I off base here?

To know that it is firing:
1) Use a modern armor.
2) Nuke it.
3) Attack a weak unit like longbowman which you should win without getting damaged.
4) See if it regains some life after battle.
For the message, as I mentioned, there are some promotions which message triggers, one of which is Rally promotion.
I won't be at my modding computer for awhile, so perhaps you can try and see if you can figure it out from that example. It is just one line of python code, plus some text in the text file.
@Thunderbird
Upon city captured, if population > min draft population, the unit that is supposed to be drafted will be created at that place, with drafted experience.
Population is deducted as well, 1 for crap units, 2 for mech infantry, according to XML data.
No drafting anger.
Does not add to drafting limit.
Does take into account resources and trade route though, as you cannot draft an axeman unless it has the copper/iron.
Nuke Penalty:
There was never any relationship penalty for owning them or launching them in BTS I believe.
Penalty is applied only when they are launched successfully.
Those shot down have no effect.
Thus, same for the trait, it only removes all relationship penalty for successful nukes, both to the victim, and the victim's friends.
Nuke Disorder:
Cities in the area of the Nuke, whether it is direct hit, or just adjacent will immediately go into disorder for 4 turns.
Of course, this is cumulative.
Nothing to do with city capture.
Just try it out and you will see what I mean

Thanks for the excellent answers! One more niggle though...
What defines the unit that is 'supposed' to be drafted?
platyping
Sleeping Dragon
Whatever is defined by the BTS system.
You know, based on what tech and resources player has, as well as whether the unit is draftable based on XML data.
There is a python command to simply check which is the drafted unit for that particular city.
Thus, I simply use it and spawn the unit there.

Add this to end of Leech codes.
Make sure indentation (number of tabs) is same as the last line (after all the "if")
Then in the XML text files, add one new entry.
It will then display as Modern Armor ate Warrior! to just the player of the eating unit.
Change colors and wordings as you like.
Code:
CyInterface().addMessage(iPlayer,true,10,CyTranslator().getText("TXT_EAT",(pWinner.getName(), pLoser.getName(),)),'',0, -1, -1, -1, -1, true,true)Make sure indentation (number of tabs) is same as the last line (after all the "if")
Then in the XML text files, add one new entry.
Code:
<TEXT>
<Tag>TXT_EAT</Tag>
<English>[COLOR_YELLOW]%s1[COLOR_GREEN] ate [COLOR_UNIT_TEXT]%s2[COLOR_GREEN]![COLOR_REVERT]</English>
</TEXT>It will then display as Modern Armor ate Warrior! to just the player of the eating unit.

hmmm... it still does not seem to be firing, I get no message...code is below.
The only reference I could find in BUG code to oncombatresult was in the autologEventmanager.py. As opposed to EventManager.py...could that have anything to do with my problems? I don't see why it should, but then I don't see much :-D

Ah iPlayer was not defined yet.
Add a line iPlayer = pWinner.getOwner()
Also, activate python exceptions when you wanna know what went wrong.
Else, "still not working" will not tell you why

ok, when I put the code this way round, I get the attached python exception.
I tried a few different methods of using the definitions from the leech file, and not using those defs. also trying it in different locations, and also without using those defs, just adding the one line you said too, in a number of combinations, none of them worked, many of them generated no exceptions...
Python expceptions were always on, i just wasn't getting any error messages..
