Version: 2.08.02
Release Date: Febuary 18, 2007
Compatibility: Civ4 Warlords 2.08

CCCP Assets 2.08.02

CCCP Source 2.08.02

Civ4's SDK and Python/XML layers make it the most "Deeply" modable commercial game ever released and this Mod Component forum is the Mecca for all such modifications. Most are small tweaks to the game play, new rules or new Python screens but all suffer one very big problem its a real chore to combine them and to do so requires practically all the elite programing skills necessary to make them in the first place. Average users and even many mod makers are forced to choose between different bits of code or mod components because they cant themselves do all the merging work particularly those in the Source code ware a compiler is required. The aim of this Project is to help over come these Difficulties by combining together changes and creating new tools to make such work easier. The Project acts as a neutral foundation and tool set which mods can be built on-top of, thus all of the improvements and changes made are default off when possible, if not specifically enabled by the user they do nothing and theirs no noticeable game play change. The 6 major area ware the project focuses on in order of priority...

1) XML Tags - New XML tags are the best way to add new optional mods
2) Mergability - Changes that make things easier to combine
3) Bug Fixes - Several Fixes to Firaxis Bugs have been squished already
4) Python UI - Better Screens are picked up from the community as they develop
5) Performance - Anything which speeds up the game is good
6) AI - Blake is the undisputed AI guru and his code will eventually be included once its done

The ultimate goal is to assimilate all popular SDK based mods (making them optional in the process if they weren't originally so) into one code base for easy Mod making and become a de-facto standard for the Mod community

If you want to see what we've done so far I would recommend downloading TortiseCVS. This should allow you to download the latest version including source code direct from our CVS.

Known issues
Lots of savegame incompatibility. Save games from anything else just don't work, and are likely to give you a hard CTD. Each successive version is likely going to break prior savegames as well.

Not Included
No Python files or Mods from the vanilla CCCP are yet included, this is due to my not being very skilled with Python<>SDK interaction and a desire to make the Assets package as easily plugable as possible. Python files/Mods will be re-incorporated soon with priority based on community requests.

Its to support Tech and local Building Commerce/Yield mods, the Pedia will display listings of all the modifiers that a Specialist can receive similar to the Waterfall and Windmill improvements. The default output is labeled "Base Output" and is listed at the top followed by all the other possible bonuses.
 
Thats a mod I made to allow civs to fork to alternate ArtDefs for their units, it functions at the code level fine but the structure of the Python interface kept it from working as expected, I'm hoping someday to get it to work correctly.
 
Hey. I've downloaded the new 2.08.01 CCCP files, and it seems like there's an issue. The Civ4TerrainSchema.xml file is nothing but 22k of [NUL]. Not sure if it's a problem for everyone else, or if it's just not downloading/unzipping properly for me, but I've downloaded six separate copies (after clearing the downloads) and it's been the same every time. Just in case it was Notepad++ that was acting up, I launched the game (naturally, I checked out all the files before trying to play -- this is a modding mod, not a mod), and it gave me an error when loading the Terrain stuff.

You might want to download it yourself and make sure that it isn't just a problem on my end. All the other XML files seem fine at first glance -- if there's any corruption, it's at least not the entire file. Also, the source compiled just fine. I can't see why my PC would be messing that one file up over and over again.

If it is on my end though, could you post a copy of the Terrain schema?

Thanks.
 
Nope its not you somehow that file got corrupted for me as well and I accidentally released it as such, an update will be posted shortly which will fix this AND include the latest Sevopedia by Gaurav et all. Thanks for the bug hunting Quornix
 
I don't seem to have the GlobalDefinesExt.xml file. Not sure if that's been changed from the last time I saw it mentioned, but without it, it's tough to change the new global values, as I don't know what tags are used.

Also, for the mods that the .DLL is compatible with, but does not include, it would be nice to have links in your first post. Hardly required, as they're here on the boards, but would be nice.
 
GlobalDefineExt.xml is obsoleted by Modularly loaded Global defines, I've included a CCCP_GlobalDefines.xml to control all the options and It will be located in xml/GlobalDefines/CCCP eventually as more options are added it may be broken down into sub-groupings Unit, GamePlay, Interface etc etc.

The Pedia will have a folder in the XML directory inside of which are all of its xml, art and text done module style. Inside is a Global Define that suppress the Replaced by Text from the DLL so that is doesn't double up with text being produced by the new Sevopedia. Another folder in the Python directory contains the rest of the files, removing both these folders will give you the default pedia or allow you to insert your own Pedia, the DLL will then once again produce Replaced by Text so you get this feature with or without the new Pedia.

Updated to 2.08.02
 
Not yet, first time I tried I got some weird hanging on load, couldn't figure it out and reverted the code so I could get it out the door, the current Loading system is 2.0 which still gets you all the major files its just slower and you have some restrictions in referencing tags. I think I know what I did wrong and will be able to fix it soon.

P.S. I'll be updating/resurrecting Ket's Mod soon using the new DLL which I can confirm will run it, I just need to configure a few things. I'll also try to move many of the Units and Buildings into modules to allow easy combo with EDU.
 
OK. Please be patient and remember that I'm learning some modding basics as I go through this (not the least of which is how the Schema work). I've figured out what the first two Custom Game Options are (GPP pooling and Slow Culture), and figured out how to display them (originally, they're just checked boxes with no text). What's the third one? I didn't see a third item on the feature list that seemed to fit, and haven't stumbled across it in the tests I've run.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm not in any rush so its perfectly alright.
 
Next version will include some mods to the FormationInfos.xml which should make Ethnicaly Diverse Unit type mods easier to make and use and a new high-level UnitGroupSize feature which will make it very easy to change the number of unit meshes 'men' in a each group. Also possibly the MXMLL 3.0 code as well and some additional Python screens.
 
I'm pretty impressed, everything looks much better now. I'm happy that the CCCP is being pursued for Warlords. I'll be sure to use this universal DLL in my mod once I resume work on it. :)
 
Impaler,

Love the idea of this project.

Is there any chance that you could incorporate the SDK changes for the AIAutoPlay mod by Jdog? There are only slight changes made in 3 files, I can't remember the exact files off the top of my head, but IMO this mod is essential to modmaking.

Thanks,
ripple01
 
Actually it is included, I put it down their in the OTHER category. You still need his Python files to activate it though, someday I'm hoping someone will have a MainScreen with a button for it so we don't need to remember all these key combos for special Mods. Please do give it a try and tell me if its working correctly, it hasn't been tested yet since the 2.08 conversion.
 
Oops, totally missed that somehow...

There are actually 2 different versions of the AIAutoPlay mod... the latest standalone is ver. 1.25 and the one built into revolution mod is 1.4. I was attempting to merge 1.4 into my current mod but was having a little trouble figuring out exactly which python files i needed.

peace,

ripple01, the files I used for AIAutoPlay v1.4 are attached. I went thru the same thing last night for an hour or more so I thought I would save you the trouble. It works great in my mod with the files attached. I'm not a python expert, though, so you might want to make a backup copy of your mod before adding these files.

It uses DrElmerGiggles CustomEventManager. Just add the two lines relating to AIAutoPlay to your CvCustomEventManager - as well as the "def setPopupHandler(self, eventType, popupHandler)" section further down. Or, just use the CustomEventManager I've included. Note that this zip file does NOT include any .dll file.

Good luck. ;)


@Impaler[WrG]
Let me know if you don't want these files posted here and I will remove them. Thanks.
