[Addons] Additional Wonders

[ambrox62]

I added the Platonic Academy, when I finished Printing Press, my culture went from 334 pt to MINUS -150 pt...had to remove the the line: <ObsoleteTech>TECH_PRINTING_PRESS</ObsoleteTech>

Platonic Academy adds 1 culture point x specialist. When it becomes obsolete, you can't have negative culture value: simply you don't have no more additional points.
If you experimented a negative value, there are two possible reasons imo:
1) a CiV bug
2) a temporary interface error

Personally I tested the wonder only in the "add points" phase, then added the obsolete condition in the final mod release because of the overpowered effect in the long term.
I wouldn't expect this issue, however. 2K has removed the obsolete condition from Colossus in the latest patch, and currently there are no more building becoming obsolete in CiV vanilla.
May be it a bugged effect? Anyone else experimented it?

The Great Wall still goes obsolete in vanilla. I tested an obsoleting technology on a regular building just yesterday and it works.

I have no explanation for the negative culture though.

I made no changes (experimented)...just removed the obsolete line.. I also have the 7 ancient wonders mod...maybe something in that causes it?

My english is really bad, sorry.
I wrote "experimented" meanining "got".
I wonder if you got the negative culture values on regular basis or this happened just one time.
I'm also 100% sure there is no relation between PA wonder and TSAW mod that causes negative culture issue. Just curious to see a screenshot or to test your savegame (if you didn't buy DLCs)

1st time running the mod

 

[ambrox62]

Which mods are you also using? I see a "bird" icon in the top-left corner...
Also the math beetween first and second shot is weird (gold is the most evident)

Well, you use lots of mod that I don't know.
I'm pretty sure that PA wonder works fine with CiV vanilla and with other wonder addons as well. It's quite impossible to catch the bug in your configuration. I'm not the right person able to find which mod causes the negative culture issue.
I can't help you more than that.
Thanks for the report

Superb twist with Deers & Furs... thank you!
The Sigmund Freud quote is more than i expected even. Quite accurate - indeed.

This isn't (i think) related to running mods... more like, the normal gap indications that show up when extra points are being "Kept" until the next policy is being selected.
I'd say blame the "Allow Policy Saving" option trick for such anomalies.

That may be so, but it only happens when running this mod with the expiration.

Nice. The splash is a little off-putting for me though - kind of makes me not want to build it...

I've downloaded the Three Gorges Dam and Panama Canal files, but there isn't art files.

Can you check it?

Another thing, I'd like to make the Circus Maximus as a WW. I have a probably good splash image for it, but I have no idea how to make it a dds file.

Can you do it for me if I send you the image, or you could teach me how to do it by myself.

Introducing the mod, I explicity wrote that all arts come from vanilla CiV. You already have these files into the game subfolders.

Converting dds can be made using a freeware graphics sw like GIMP, very usefull for many others graphics tasks. Alternatively you may attach the image on a post or send me a PM to exchange email address, and I'll do the conversion

Hi Ambrox62

First of all I'm really enjoying your mods. Every one of them is installed in my current game except the Flavian which you released after I started the game.

I'm experiencing a small bug with the Pergamon Altar though. In the pop up description a "horse shoe" is ahown with the text "MISSING DESCRIPTION" next to it (image attached to post).

I use a lot of other mods at the same time, e.g. Thals combined. I haven't tried the mod stadalone.

I'm pretty sure it depends by the mod that shows the additional description features (horse-shoe and lock for hill requirement). In fact, you can easily see in the screenshots that I attached to the wonder that vanilla techtree tooltip is correct.
May be the horse-shoe depends by the 2nd tech requirement of the altar (construction). This is a feature not present in vanilla. You should investigate upon the other wonders having 2nd tech requirement to check the same issue. If so, then you should alert the mod-maker in order to fix it.
Let me know
