AssignStartingPlots.lua Help.

Horem · Sep 18, 2011

Hello,

I have unofficaly been helping out with Community Call to Power. We have had problems with the new resources appearing on all map types(Conitinets, Four Corners, Fractal ext). CCTP currently uses Resource Generator v4 and we are limited too Pagnae and Continents map types only(All the others load but with 0 resources). So I took it upon myself to try and rectify this issue by following this awsome guide. Now it all seems to work okay, all 12 extra resources apear on the maps, apart from ALL resources only have a quantity of 1, New and Vanilla. I was under the impression that Resource Quantities were set in the XML, like so :-

Spoiler :

This is were I get a bit stuck

. I can not seem to figure out where in the AssignStartingPlots.lua that it sets the Quantity for each resource placed. Any help on this would be greatfull. Sry my lua experience and skills are next to nothing. I'll attach the edited lua to this post so you can have a look at what I added/changed.

Sorry it just occured to me you may nee dto see the new resources xml

you should start looking at GetMajorStrategicResourceQuantityValues(), good luck...

I don't know what they thought when they made this file :-/

This method is used for Luxuries
Ive figured it out since I first posted, its all about this function:- PlaceSpecificNumberOfResources
and what it calls for the stuff in brackets after it in this line:- PlaceSpecificNumberOfResources(use_this_ID, 1, 1, 1, -1, 0, 0, shuf_list)

The Number in Bold is the Quantity to place, ie 1, change it to 2 and you get 2

This is used for Strategic Resources as far as I can tell.
Its also possible to set it its call from somthing else form the quantity like this line :- PlaceSpecificNumberOfResources(self.copper_ID, copper_amt, 1, 1, -1, 0, 0, shuf_list)

Where copper_amt is set elese where and looks like :- local uran_amt, horse_amt, oil_amt, iron_amt, coal_amt, alum_amt, copper_amt, titanium_amt, earths_amt, alligator_amt, coffee_amt, corn_amt, poppy_amt, rice_amt, beans_amt, tea_amt, tobacco_amt, cocoa_amt = 4, 4, 7, 6, 7, 8, 8, 6, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4;

where the numbers are the values to place.

This Method is used for bonus resources.
For some reason the bonus resoruces are much smaller lines of code:-

local resources_to_place = {
{self.wheat_ID, 3, 100, 2, 3} };

The bold number been the quantity.
