Pendragon Mod

Pendragon Mod v1.0

Hello everyone, I have made a total conversion mod based off of the Pendragon book series by D.J. MacHale and have decided to release it to the public to get some more plays on it and maybe just provide a little diversion for people every once in a while, if not regularly. It's a very simple mod, really just removing stock civilizations and leaders and replacing them with leaders from the Pendragon book series so try it out, there no new rules to worry about, no giant new tech tree to master, just a fun mod I think you will enjoy

. Please leave feedback! Even if it's just "good mod" or an extensive write-up of the flaws and balance issues, feedback is appreciated so much! Without any further ado (if you read this that is), please take a look at the Pendragon Mod.

Current features:
11 New Civs with UU's and UB's
Over 30 leaders
BUG mod Integration
Optional K-Mod AI Integration

Current Civs/Leaders

The file exceeds the 500 KB atatchment limit so unfortunately I don't know how to share it (can anybody help here?)

.zip it. The limit is 10mb for .zip files, else use an external hoster like RapidShare or MegaUpload.

And, and while i have no idea from the scenario/topic/world, i still wish you good luck with your project.

Radio Noer · Aug 24, 2011

Oh, ok I'll be sure to put the file up soon then

EDIT: The file is up.

Baldyr · Aug 24, 2011

I only wish I had the time to help you add custom scenario events with Python scripting...

Radio Noer · Aug 25, 2011

Added civ info to OP, Pictures soon.

Radio Noer · Aug 26, 2011

Alright, Version 0.1.1 is out with civic changes as the only modifications.

Radio Noer · Aug 27, 2011

Alright, I have a major request to enhance the mod a bit, basically what I need is a building that allows travel to any other city provided that city too has that building. The best workaround I can think of is just allowing it to airlift units but I would also like it to only be able to be built x number of times in any given empire. I feel like this would require Python modding, of which I know nothing about. I've already figured out the tech required to build it (I think) but I need that component as well.

So I suppose my questions are: Can anybody make this for me? And is there anything like this already to save some legwork on this component?

Sorry if it's complicated/I didn't explain it well enough, I'd be more than happy to clarify if requested.

The_J · Aug 27, 2011

That's partially already the airport functionality.
I'm not sure if you can restrict that to special cities only. I know it would work for the human, but i'm not sure if it would work for the AI too.

Baldyr · Aug 27, 2011

Yeah, it should be easy enough to restrict the building of a airport type building to only a certain number of instances. It would entail adding some line of code into the CvGameUtils.py file.

If you setup the XML portion of the mod and post the XML tag you end up using for the special teleport building (like "BUILDING_TELEPORT") anyone knowledgeable would be able to submit the code you need for this. Other details are of course also necessary, like how many instances of this building there can be per player.

Radio Noer · Aug 27, 2011

Alright, the XML tag is "BUILDING_FLUME", do I need to change the BUILDINGCLASS from "AIRPORT" to "FLUME" as well? And I'd like a maximum of 4 of these buildings per player.

Thanks in advance

Baldyr · Aug 27, 2011

If you get the XML entries for the building and the building class in order, you need to change the marked line in \Assets\Python\CvGameUtils.py accordingly:

Code:

	def cannotConstruct(self,argsList):
		pCity = argsList[0]
		eBuilding = argsList[1]
		bContinue = argsList[2]
		bTestVisible = argsList[3]
		bIgnoreCost = argsList[4]
		return [COLOR="Red"]eBuilding == gc.getInfoTypeForString("BUILDING_FLUME") and gc.getPlayer(pCity.getOwner()).countNumBuildings(eBuilding) > 4[/COLOR]

In order for this to take effect, you also need to enable this value in \Assets\XML\Civ4PythonCallbackDefines.xml:

Code:

	<Define>
		<DefineName>USE_CANNOT_CONSTRUCT_CALLBACK</DefineName>
		<iDefineIntVal>[COLOR="Red"][B]1[/B][/COLOR]</iDefineIntVal>
	</Define>

Now, make sure to use UTF-8 text encoding when you save your changes, or things may cease to work.

What you could do(after getting flumes) is create a scenario with 10 islands seperated by ice with either mass PA's or something. You also should get rid of all of the default BTS leaders, and maybe some pedia text for the new leaders(rip it off a pendragon wiki maybe)

Radio Noer · Aug 27, 2011

PA's would be paratroopers? Any I will be making scens shortly, that one sounds very interesting and I will get custom Civilopedia entries... eventually.

Radio Noer · Aug 27, 2011

@Baldyr That didn't work (but thanks for your help anyways

) but I figured out how to make it a "National Wonder" able to be constructed 4 times so I believe that the limit will work now. Now it's just a matter of getting it to only airlift to cities with the flume built in it...

Well, either I made a mistake - or you did. If you would have enabled error messaging we would have been able to work it out, but I'd say your XML solution is way better as it doesn't add any lag to the game. So I'd say you're good.

Permanant Alliances between worlds loyal to Bobby or those loyal to Saint Dane.

Radio Noer · Aug 28, 2011

Ah, I see. Quite a good idea actually. The ten protagonists vs the three evil ones could be very interesting as Saint Dane spams units more than Shaka

GGracchus · Aug 28, 2011

*looks in the XML* 45 Unit prob, looks even worse(to face) than Raggy. You might want to give him 2 warmonger respect, though.

Radio Noer · Aug 28, 2011

Just made a little scenario, working in civilopedia now.

Radio Noer · Aug 28, 2011

Posting version 0.1.2 now, buffed Spader's UB a bit (Cloral does dominate the seas after all). Added a small scenario, started civilopedia entries (if I end up burning more music tomorrow, I'll add more than just 2 leader civilopedias

).
