What to do with my modified python code?

SkankinGecko · Oct 30, 2005, 02:31 PM

I modified one of the game's python scripts (the wonder movies have a habit of crashing my system, so I am attempting to turning them off), but now I need to know how to get CIV to use it.

Thanks in advance and sorry if this is the 16th time you've had to answer this.

ive understood that youll have to wait for the SDK...

Really? I found what I believe to be pertinent python script, and have edited it so that it no longer plays wonder movies. My issue is simply getting the game to read MY script instead of the original. My understanding was that this was supposed to be relatively simple. I could surely be wrong, however.

On a related note, does there exist, either in this forum or elsewhere, some basic general instructions on how to create, save and run mods like this? There is lots of fantastic info here about editing the xml and python files, but I have no idea what to do with them once I have.

There's an option in the INI file to turn off wonder movies.

Code:

; Set to 1 for no in-game movies
NoMovies = 0

Change NoMovies to 1

The shortcut to the INI file (__Civ4config) is at the root of your game directory.

Actually, I just figured that out from one of the other forums, but thanks!

Still, I would like to find out more about implementing mods in general.

Changes that you want to apply every time you play, should go into the appropriate folder under My Games/Civ 4/CustomAssets.

If a change is part of a stand alone mod, create a folder under Mods with the name of mod then follow the folder hierarchy found in the regular game mod folder there.

huh. well, if youve found it, could you just replace the original script for the movies with the new one w/o?

Right. Just put the new Python file inside the mod folder under the same directory setup as the game.
