1. DESCRIPTION
This small "mod" allows modders to add images (.dds files, specifically) to the
event popup window. Thanks to this mod, once installed the only changes modders
have to make are in the XML!
This particular release is specifically for modders to easily incorporate the code
into their own mod or modcomp.
----------------------------------------------------------------
2. INSTALLATION / REMOVAL
**If you decide to change the core game files (such as the original BTS, Warlords,
or "Vanilla" CvGameCoreDLL.dll), always make sure to back up your originals!**
INSTALLATION:
1. If you're not sure what to do with this source code, you shouldn't have downloaded it!
REMOVAL:
1. Again, don't "install" this mod if you're not sure how to remove the changes!
----------------------------------------------------------------
3. HOW TO USE
To find the changed code in the three Altered DLL files, search for "EmperorFool". All
changes are noted with the following convention:
// Begin EmperorFool: Events with Images
CodeFunction...
...
}
// End EmperorFool: Events with Images
This mod adds a new Tag, <EventArt/>, to the EventTriggerInfos.xml file using the
included CIV4EventSchema.xml file. To use this tag, however, you will have to add it to
your EventTriggerInfos.xml file or your mod will be unable to parse that file (in other
words, it won't work). The form of this tag is as follows (though doesn't require this
many folders!):
<EventArt>Folder\Mod Folder\Location of Art\image.dds</EventArt>
The included TEMPLATE.txt file shows where this tag should be placed. Add the new tag as
shown, and your events will have the ability to display images! Enjoy!
----------------------------------------------------------------
4. KNOWN BUGS / COMPATIBILITY
None as of this release.
Note, however, that this mod has ONLY been tested on Civ4 BTS version 3.17!
----------------------------------------------------------------
5. USAGE
You are free to use/modify this code in any mod you create freely, however, please give proper
credit to EmperorFool, the coder of this mod. NEVER re-release this code as your own
work, as it is not.
