Afforess's Modmods

[DRJ]

Thx but I am no real conservative then, I guess. I joke about gay people but I don't really hate them, I just don't like their attitude sometimes. As with heteros, too.
By the way: we don't really have Thanksgiving as a holiday in Germany (exept those barbvarian christians I guess). But a newly "wed", openly gay Secretary of State. Don't know what's worse.

Yeah, I know that America is the only place with Thanksgiving. We just like Holidays. And we assume that everyone else knows, because America is the center of the world.

Canada has one too, but we get it out of the way in october, and don't care that no one notices because we're easygoing like that

You guys might as well be a vassal to the USA.

If I was in charge, I'd have annexed Canada right away.

Careful now, last time you tried that you had to rebuild the whitehouse

Britain isn't here to save you now.

True, but at least America wanting not to look like a villain should keep you from invading. Everybody likes us.

It's the voluntary vassalization I worry about. But that is a complaint for my elected rep, this is getting really offtopic.

great work on the mod, any chance of getting any of the speed improvements you've made in beta pushed to the revdcm team so they would be available to people playing rom 2.9? I don't have hard numbers but it's a psychologically significant speedup.

The problem is that all the problems are just RoM specific slowdowns, RevDCM has no such problems. It's some of the features from buildings and stuff. I doubt the RevDCM team would have much inclination to add these features. It might even slow RevDCM down a tad, since it creates a larger codebase, but they don't use the extra code.

I had feared that might be the case; it seems a shame that this would seem to doom players of RoM vanilla to be forever slow.

 

[civ_king]

You too. I knew that Ian MCkellen was gay, but I don't care. Conservative != Homophobia.

I know in fact a "true" conservative would have 0 problems with someone being gay because they believe the state has no place in the bedroom

Exactly.

BTW you need your sleep, we don't want you to fail because of us

Bah, my exams aren't that close, their in two weeks. I've got A's in all my classes, I'm not overly worried. I just wanted to let you guys know if I vanish for a few days, that you'll know why.

I only have 1 class tomorrow at noon, my others canceled, so I'm still good for a few more hours.

Afforess, I was wondering if there was a thread somewhere that we could discuss your modmods?

 

[os79]

Later when your beta with speed performance optimizations migrate into full version, can you specify search string for the code in DLL and what files are required?
That way when I have time and inclination, I can just merge in these to RevDCM dll and add in these new files to vanilla (!) RoM for those players who are not modmod players?

NOTICE: This volunteering is uncertain at most but good thing to be there, just in case I feel like doing it for people who are careless to Modmods .

No, but if you want to create one, go ahead.

The problem is that it isn't just SDK changes. I moved a bunch of features out of python and into XML, so there are a bunch of XML files. I had to add about 10 new XML tags for everything to work. For a big list of the XML I know have to replace the python functionality, check the Afforess/Required folder.

Even if you could get all the XML and SDK changes out, basically, it would just be another modmod, albeit, more confusing for users.

Also, Phungus expressed his view on the RevDCM forum, indirectly, that code that RevDCM doesn't strictly need shouldn't be added. If you try to get it part of RevDCM, expect an uphill battle, one which I will be unable to help you with.

I meant for RoM users here. They just unzip and overwrite. No additions are allowed...

But, yeah, it seem discouraging so it is a very low possibility that I would ever bother with it.

There is no way in hell that I would ever ask RevDCM team to code that in. I wa just talking about modmod here for users who don't want any more buildings or units but just speed improvements.

Thanks for your response anyway .

That will be a project for a day when I'm stone bored, that would be a very hard thing to get especially with your cool pack .

 

[Afforess]

Wouldn't it just be easier to tell users to install my modmods, and uncheck all the boxes?

Like I said, there are a section of users who are not subforum readers. I agree with you completely but, unfortunately, some readers are not, just to be polite, as smart as you and me .

hi, I downloaded the file under the Rise of Mankind folder, and then tried to use the application but when it actually got to the point where I could download under the file that it wanted to the message I got was that I didn't have permission. How do I solve this?
