[BTS] Vincentz Infinite Projects [VIP MOD] - Page 18

Super Spies is a really good one.

civ2 · Aug 18, 2011, 02:06 AM

I really liked this mod.
I tested it yesterday in a single-player Pangaea map and I really liked it.
Though it'd be a hard challenge to play it out against an AI, not until I've played through it few times to find some tech paths that suit me.
Which is probably soon to happen, though.

Thanks again, do more like this!

It's definitely something in my code which is causing an infinite loop. Somehow. I'm working on it.

Can you find a link to this modcomp?

Bonusreq units
http://forums.civfanatics.com/downlo...=file&id=15269

I can see if I can collect it so its ready to compile if its a help?

I merged the different mods (defender withdrawal, Aircombat XP, Get gold from dispanding, bonusreq units and multible productions, and I think things went pretty ok, but I havent compiled anything yet.
If they could be added to the Advanced Resource Converter it would be cool.
I tried to look at the SuperSpies 3.17 mod, but there were sooo many files, and since they were all 3.17 files, I pretty much gave up. Though I might try later.

Here are the files for compiling : GAMECOREFILES

and here is the mod with the above implemented (except the gamecoredll (which is an old one)
VIP mod ready for gamecore.dll

vincentz · Aug 19, 2011, 08:50 AM

is very exited. as I write this, the first homecompiled gamecoredll is being compiled.
Ofcourse it wont work

but it hopefully will over time, and it certainly opens up for a whole new moddingworld. Cant wait to try it out, unfortunately I have to go out tonight so wont check it untill later...

ITS ALIVE!!!

Will upload version 0.82 later today (perhaps tomorrow)
Still need to fix the resource converter though.
But in a quick test both the Multiple productions and get gold from dispanding works.... sweet....

vincentz · Aug 20, 2011, 11:31 AM

A new era has begun

VIP 0.83 uploaded. Now with a custom made cvgamecore.dll.

The gamecore will be a Debug dll so any errors or bugs will pop up in a seperate window.
Please report any in this thread.
The Debug dll is a bit slower than a standard "Release" dll, so if turntimes are a bit longer, this is the reason.

The gameplay effects of the gamecore will be listed in on of the first posts in this thread, titled : SPECIAL GAMECORE COMPONENTS

JosEPh_II · Aug 20, 2011, 12:01 PM

Vincentz,
If you have not checked out C2C lately Koshling has made a New Save Game Compatability mode. It allows you to continue playing your save games even when a new .dll or version comes out. You Really need to check this out!

And Sooooo Glad you've continued to Mod VIP!

JosEPh :woot:

civ2 · Aug 21, 2011, 02:31 AM

I already said I like this mod.
Now goes more.
1. There's ONE thing I highly dislike - Wonder limitations!!!
I mean, HOW many cities do you need to build them all???
It's plain stupid, to either "save space" for future use (while NOT getting any benefits now) or "waste space" now - and lose the future cool wonders...
2. Is it me, or I see no difference between the versions???
Or what SHOULD I see/feel???
I mean, playing 0.81 was exactly like playing 0.83 - didn't see ANY difference...

Again, I'm totally supporting this mod - it's VERY cool (except 1.)!
Nice job!!!

vincentz · Aug 21, 2011, 04:43 AM

The main difference between the versions is I made a custom dll (for the first time, I might add

)

Right now the changes are small, but I wanted to put it out there in case there was a lot of bugs/incompabilities on other machines than my own.

The changes so far are :

Rebase rangelimit for aircraft (x2 of range)

Recon mission has chance of being intercepted

XP to Air units for bombard, bomb improvements, attacking cities and killing units

Air units can completely destroy ground units

Defending units with Withdraw% has chance of retreating combat

Get gold from dispanding units in own culture

Multiple Productions in 1 turn

Specialists can give health and happiness

btw. the wonderlimit is not a civlimit, its just a citylimit, so you can always build the early wonders and then build the later wonders in another city.

I know it's CITY limit.
And that's why I hate it.
I played a game with NINE cities (3x3 square for fun), had a HELL of commerce problems, and still couldn't build ALL I wanted...
Well, it's YOUR mod, so it's YOUR choice to do so - but I disagree with it.
As of the version differences, I was testing it on a 1-player game, so no WARS.
Anyways, I still admire the complexity of this mod and how other things actually work.
Nice job overall.

Its quite easy to "fix" the problem.

In ...Civilization IV\Beyond the Sword\Mods\VIP\Assets\XML\GlobalDefines.xml

there is

Code:

	<Define>
		<DefineName>MAX_WORLD_WONDERS_PER_CITY</DefineName>
		<iDefineIntVal>4</iDefineIntVal>
	</Define>

just change it to whatever u see fit or -1 which is unlimited.
It is even savegame compatible

civ2 · Aug 21, 2011, 06:34 AM

Oh, thanks!

Though it would not be the way YOU wanted - but I'll probably do just that.

vincentz · Aug 29, 2011, 04:21 AM

Got the units "charted".

vincentz · Aug 31, 2011, 01:59 PM

I suddenly got a great idea!!!

Instead of the spamming of buildings that produce goods, the buildings will become unbuildable and only great people can build them. Still considering if they should be national wonders or not. Also not sure it should give 1,2 or 3 resources.

(B=Buildable, NW=National Wonder)

Noble
NW B PALACE
NW B THRONEROOM
NW TREASURY
NW PALACE_GARDEN

Priest
WINERY - 3 Alcohol
HORSESTUD - 3 Horses

Engineer
BRONZE_SMITH - 3 Bronze Weapons
WEAPON_SMITH - 3 Iron Weapons
GUN_SMITH - 3 Firearms
EXPLOSIVES_PLANT - 3 Explosives
ARMS_MANUFACTURER - 3 Automatic Weapons
AUTO_INDUSTRY - 3 Automobiles

Spy
SCOTLAND_YARD

Scientist
ACADEMY
---- - 3 Medicine
HITECH_FACTORY - 3 Electronics
RUBBER_PLANT - 3 Synthetic Rubber

Merchant
HORSESTUD - 3 Horses
NW TREASURY

Artist
DRAPERY - 3 Fashion
GLASSWORKS - 3 Glassware
NW PALACE_GARDEN

Great General
MILITARY_ACADEMY
BRONZE_SMITH - 3 Bronze Weapons
WEAPON_SMITH - 3 Iron Weapons
GUN_SMITH - 3 Firearms
EXPLOSIVES_PLANT - 3 Explosives
ARMS_MANUFACTURER - 3 Automatic Weapons

TOT (nope, not Test of Times but : Totally off topic)

My wife gave birth to our firstborne (a son) on september the 3rd.

Just thought I'd share, and at the same time give a valid excuse for the lacking updates of my mod

His name is Alexander

keldath · Sep 05, 2011, 02:19 PM

huh!

mazal tov!

means conratz!

may he bring you endless happiness buddy.

good looking fellow.

j_mie6 · Sep 05, 2011, 02:45 PM

so thats what that means!!!

Congratulations!!! (bring him up to be a modder

)

keldath · Sep 05, 2011, 04:32 PM

hehe, yeah...

actually it means good luck - but used as congraz.
( a fun fact by me

)

well i hope i get to play some of his mod in the long distant future

cheers.

Vigil · Sep 06, 2011, 01:46 AM

Seems to be just what I want, but I cannot load this mod.
When trying, Civ BTS restarts and initializes up to "loading xml (uncached). then nothing happens, progress bar just sits there.

Im using OSX.

Anyone has any idea of how to solve this?

Asaf · Sep 06, 2011, 02:11 AM

Congratulations vincentz

Take it from someone whose first born is now 4 months old - now you'll have much less time

EDIT: @Vigil - it seems you're using Mac, and since this mod now has a custom DLL you can't use it on Mac.
