Adding a new box to the civlopedia for civ powers

j_mie6 · Feb 13, 2012

Hello,

I was wondering if there is anyway of displaying a new little box in the Pedia which gives information about a civ's unique power...

Does anybody know how to create a box in a civ's pedia entry where the power info could be stored?

I am guessing the CvPediaCivilization.py file would be used

Spoiler :

Anybody?

You pretty much do waht it does for the other things, like tech or building. You need to rearrange the layout by adjusting the numbers for the other things to make room for it. You can often reduce the spacing between the various panels things are shown in/on as well as to make them a little smaller if all you need is a couple of lines.

For an alternative, and easier to implement, solution you could put it at the beginning of the civilization's text by, in placeText, setting szText to be the text for the power and then appending the existing civilopedia text to it (probably with a line break and blank line added between them, maybe a header line that says something like "Civilization Power", and things like that).

j_mie6 · Feb 18, 2012

I kinda guessed about the rearranging but I'm not sure how to do it... like how to move the boxes and create the new one...

God-Emperor · Feb 18, 2012

My suggestion for altering the layout:

Diagrams are your friend in situations like this.

Take a screen shot showing the screen you wnat to change. Open it in some graphics program. Then refer to the Python to get the positions of everything and mark up the screen shot with the values.

Code:

		self.X_TECH = 330
		self.Y_TECH = 70
		self.W_TECH = 200
		self.H_TECH = 110

These are the X,Y position of one of the corners of the panel that shows the techs and tis width and height. By looking at the Y values you can determine if it counts up from the bottom or down from the top (I can never remember). The X values are distance in from the left. So the tech panel starts 330 units (it may be 1 unit = 1 pixel) in from the left and is 200 units wide, giving it an X range of 330 to 530.

Once everything is marked you can figure out how much space is between the elements to see how much room you can squeeze out of that. Figure out what to change them to and what the new panel's coordinates should be. And so on.

You might be able to make the main screen bigger (making the whole panel bigger on your screen).

There may be some (relatively) empty space that you can use. I mostly use mods that use the Sevopedia these days, and don't really remember what the original one looks like...

j_mie6 · Feb 19, 2012

I did it! the Y counts from the top btw

Code:

        def placePower(self):

                screen = self.top.getScreen()

                panelName = self.top.getNextWidgetName()
                screen.addPanel( panelName, localText.getText("TXT_KEY_PEDIA_TITLE_POWERS", ()), "", false, false,
                                 self.X_POWER, self.Y_POWER, self.W_POWER, self.H_POWER, PanelStyles.PANEL_STYLE_BLUE50 )

                #Power dict takes form out of the order in CivilizationInfos.xml
                dPowerDict = {6 : "TXT_KEY_PEDIA_ROME_POWER",
                              5 : "TXT_KEY_PEDIA_GREECE_POWER",
                              3 : "TXT_KEY_PEDIA_BRITTANIA_POWER",
                              2 : "TXT_KEY_PEDIA_GAUL_POWER",
                              1 : "TXT_KEY_PEDIA_CARTHAGE_POWER",
                              4 : "TXT_KEY_PEDIA_EGYPT_POWER",
                              7 : "TXT_KEY_PEDIA_GERMANIA_POWER",
                              8 : "TXT_KEY_PEDIA_PICTIA_POWER"}

                sText = localText.getText(dPowerDict.get(self.iCivilization, "TXT_KEY_PEDIA_NONE_POWER"), ())
                screen.attachMultilineText( panelName, "Power", sText, WidgetTypes.WIDGET_GENERAL, -1, -1, CvUtil.FONT_LEFT_JUSTIFY)

looks good!

Screenshot

?

j_mie6 · Feb 19, 2012

ok coming soon!

j_mie6 · Feb 19, 2012

Before I could do the screenshot I wanted to turn that python dict code into C++ code so that whole block became:

Code:

sText = localText.getText(str(gc.getCivilizationInfo(self.iCivilization).getPowerDescription()), ())

getPowerDescription() is the first C++ function I have ever made and it collects the data from an optional xml tag of <Power>TXT_KEY_</Power> in CivilizationInfos.xml which stores that dict instead! First time I have ever used the DLL, took ages :rolleyes:

God-Emperor · Feb 19, 2012

Nice.

The_J · Feb 19, 2012

looks good.

Asaf · Feb 20, 2012

I'll second that
