[Beyond the Sword] History In The Making

Hi Wendi !

Its easy:

<Define>
<DefineName>COMMERCE_PERCENT_CHANGE_INCREMENTS</DefineName>
<iDefineIntVal>10</iDefineIntVal>
</Define>

set 10 to 5 in the GlobalDefines.xml in your bts\assets\xml-Folder

Yours, Zoid

 

Hi!

I think there used to be only one free upgrade for a single unit in older versions of this mod. By "free promoting" once, it was used up.

Now, armory provides free u and you can use this multiple times on unit.

Build a warrior (in a city with armory), upgrade it free to a musketman (if needed) and later on the same unit for free again to a infantry and later on a free upgrade to a mech infantry.

This seems to powerful to me.

I tried a little, but I have no idea where to set the freeupgrade in a way, that it can only be used once on a unit.

Meaning in the above example that the upgrade from musketman on costs normal?

Thx, Zoid

 

I miss Leonardo Workshop from Civ 2, free upgrade to all units. Could be a wonder that gives one free upgrade to all units from all cities.

 

That's kind of what the Armory does.

 

You dont need this mod then. All you need to do is copy the GlobalDefines.xml into Custom Assets. And in that file, change:

Code:

<Define>
	<DefineName>COMMERCE_PERCENT_CHANGE_INCREMENTS</DefineName>
	<iDefineIntVal>10</iDefineIntVal>
</Define>

into:

Code:

<Define>
	<DefineName>COMMERCE_PERCENT_CHANGE_INCREMENTS</DefineName>
	<iDefineIntVal>5</iDefineIntVal>
</Define>

Edit: Woops... a little late there lol

 

I noticed that lumbermills can be built on Jungles squares...was that intended to perhaps give jungles a bit of use and to keep them?

 

You guys are the best, thanks!

 

That would actually save my weekend hehe

 

I think I found a real problem with bombardment. I don't mind that when I bombard with land or sea units that I miss sometimes. That actually happens in war. What I do mind is that the AI never misses. Also the AI does ALOT more damage then I ever do. When I had a battleship and a destoryer off shore attacking a city, the 2 cannons the AI had, (in 1 attack mind you), 1 cannon dropped the battleship from 40 str to 9!!!! And the destroyer was dropped from 30 to 3.8!!!! by the other cannon. Somehow I think that's abit much even if I could do that to AI units, (which I can't). The same thing happens to land units, nearly a 75% or more drop in unit strength from being attacked by AI bombardment units. I'd hate to think what would happen when the AI gets modern artillery.

 

Yes, that is intentional.

Well... I never had any problems with that before. Maybe the AI was just getting really lucky against you.

Downloading

 

Downloading. Drool. Anybody have a napkin.

 

Grave,

Two problems, not sure what I did wrong;

First I only have two map types available when I start a custom game, perfect world and Terra2

Second (and most troubling) the game CTD's as soon as I try to found my first city.

I am running the latest version on Vista, the last version worked as smooth as butter.

I'll play around a bit to see if I can dig up what the problem is.

If this is helpful at all:

now got 10 percent!

I seem to be the third in the world downloading 1.5!



And I have a whole sunday in front of me for civing!!!!!

Zoid, really happy!

3squares city radius!

Juchu!

 

Thanks Grave! Lot's of work!

 

Simple...

Go into the History in the Making.ini file and change:

Code:

# ; Allow public maps to be used with this mod
AllowPublicMaps = 0

to:

Code:

# ; Allow public maps to be used with this mod
AllowPublicMaps = 1

Guess I forgot to switch it back when play testing...

I can update that in the next version... no biggie.

Should work just fine for you. I have XP and, obviously, have no CTD issues at all. In fact, I can tell you right now I'm using almost the exact same SDK files as v1.04. Just a few updates. So it's not like it's a radically new DLL file.

But I need more specifics: Map script, number of Civs, game options, which civ you were, etc.

 

Problem one solved, that was easy, still have the CTD's though.

Here is some of what I have tried:

Continents (custom/perfectworld/terra 2 also)
11 civs
Huge (tiny also)
temperate
medium sea
Normal speed (marathon speed)
cylindrical
standard

all victory conditions no checked options (ie one city ect..)

I will say I do believe that it is a stupid vista issue. (I can not run the latest version of overlord it crashes while initializing the xml). Maybe a component is vista incompatible?

-Sorry my first post is a CTD, I will probably stick with an older version of History until I can straighten this out

 

Thanks Grave. Problem though. I couldn't close the Bug Mod window when trying to enable sevopedia.

 

Well, I just played a few turns, using the various game options you mentioned... not CTD's here.

I don't see how it could be a Vista issue... I mean, if the older versions of HiTM worked fine for you... this one should, too. Not a whole lot is different with the DLL except for an update to Dale's Combat Mod to v1.3 and Mylon's Expanded City Radius. Everything else is the exact same as v1.04.

What do your error logs say?
