Your name and title both reference works of media that I adore. Hooray for you!

Thanks for the clarification! And now, to the text editor.

I like tweaking my copy of FFH. Whilst going through the code, looking for ways to change what Unique Features do, I found this. This is what happens in Python when a unit unters the Mirror of Heaven's square. def onMoveMirrorOfHeaven(pCaster, pPlot): if CyGame().getWBMapScript()...

Thanks, Xienwolf, that was exactly the info I needed. I'm starting to see why editing this thing takes a while. I have a pretty reasonable machine, but OOO really chokes on this file sometimes. There are also a lot of fiddly little details that my Inner Editor wants to fix.

Drat. Xienwolf, can you tell me the hex codes for the colors you used in hyperlinks in the manual? They all show up as "User" in OpenOffice, and I'm not good enough to match colors strictly by eye.

OP, that's not a bad idea. Since there are already the "spiders have infested a mine" events and "a hill giant wants your pigs" events, similar code already exists. So you could create an "oh darn, nightwatch on the roads" or "those dratted poachers" event by cut-paste-modifying existing...

Yay! I'm sorry I didn't read the thread carefully enough to find that link. I don't think that I have OpenOffice installed right now, but I can fix that easily enough.

I'd be happy to contribute back - I've been having tons of fun with FFH, so doing some transcription from the XML sounds good. However, doing it all with Acrobat Pro's TouchUp tool is not a great prospect. Inefficient, and probably going to produce an ugly file. Any chance of getting a...

That's pretty much what I thought. I'll just browse through that, then. So I should update the PDF and post it here as an attachment ?

Hmmm. Xienwolf, if I say to myself "Bother! There's no information about technology in here, really," and proceed to transcribe all the stuff from the game/XML into your PDF, how can I make that helpful to other people? Posting it here? Sending it to you?

Whilst poring over CustomFunctions.py after installing 0.41a, I noticed a typo. In the function ExploreLairBigGood, one of the possible rewards is "PRISONER_MECHANT" - however, the corresponding line in Civ4GoodyInfo.xml is "PRISONER_MERCHANT". This means that it's impossible for Great...

Skyre: Do you know if it's possible to do modifications in Python that would change the iPower of a unit? I'm taking a quick search through the Python stuff, but my Python competency is not high (but it's better than my ability to tinker with the DLL, which is zero).

Sable: It probably won't work, but you should try it and see what happens, then tell us about it. The more experimentation and documentation there is, the easier it'll be for that to make it into the main branch of FFH. Also, to Seven05 - I used your advice to tweak my FFH experience...

I'm getting my feet wet with Python and XML by modifying existing files, gently nudging Civ and FFH around. Here's what I'm trying to do: I want to control the amount of bonus resources that spawn on the map with granularity. I want to have a map where I can put into the script "there will...

I had a similar thing: I was following the Order, culturally flipped a Clan of Embers city, and I got Sphener. Patch Q. I'm not sure if it's related, but Rantine was sitting in the city when it flipped. How does the game determine what free units you get in such a situation?
