[PYTHONCOMP] Scouts, Settlers and Workboats as Bonus Seekers

Bonus Seekers Mod
v. 1.1

Update: 19/01/2008

v1.1 changes:

- BTS compatibility (I suppose it should work with any version of Civ4);
- resources, which have already revealed on the map, do not be marked any more;
- a short information about the coordinates of a bonus is displayed.


--------------------------------------
What is it?
--------------------------------------

This mod lets you know the tiles with unrevealed bonuses and helps to place your cities more ideal way.

When your Recon units, Settlers, and Workboats move along, the "build a mine" mark appears above the tiles nearby, on which there are bonuses you haven't discovered yet.

---------------------------------------
Installation
---------------------------------------

You can use it as a separate mod. For this, place the attached archive in the BtS Mods folder and unzip it. Load it from Civ main screen menu as Bonus Seeker Mod.

Have fun!


For modders:
If you combine BonusSeekers with another mod, you have to combine CvEventManager.py with one in your mod.

The following lines were added in it:

Code:

import BonusSeeker
bs = BonusSeeker.BonusSeeker()

	def onUnitBuilt(self, argsList):
		self.parent.onUnitBuilt(self, argsList)
		bs.onUnitSeek(argsList)

	def onUnitMove(self, argsList):
		self.parent.onUnitMove(self, argsList);
		bs.onUnitSeek(argsList)

This is a very interesting idea, thank you I like that it only tells you that something is there but not what it is.

I must say this looks very nice! I'll try it out in a couple of minutes .

New version uploaded!

Hi There,

Looks very interesting !
One question though : at which place exactly do I need to paste the text you mention ? Is it important or can I copy it at the end of the file ?

Thanks for your help.

I simplified the installation routine. If you want to use it as a separate mod, download the attachment, place it in the BtS Mods folder and unzip. Load it from Civ main screen menu as Bonus Seeker Mod.

Cheers!
