If anyone want's the original text for the Panopticon wonder that I think @Gazebo wrote? before it got changed to the fantasy name it is now, here it is. Just paste the code in. It has been changed for the latest version of the mod 10/10:

Code:

UPDATE Language_en_US
SET Text = 'Panopticon'
WHERE Tag = 'TXT_KEY_PROJECT_UTOPIA_PROJECT' AND EXISTS (SELECT * FROM COMMUNITY WHERE Type='COMMUNITY_CORE_BALANCE_BUILDINGS' AND Value= 1 );

UPDATE Language_en_US
SET Text = 'The Panopticon is an ideal architectural figure of modern disciplinary power. The Panopticon creates a consciousness of permanent visibility as a form of power, where no bars, chains, and heavy locks are necessary for domination any more. Instead of actual surveillance, the mere threat of surveillance is what disciplines society into behaving according to rules and norms. Technology has allowed for the deployment of panoptic structures invisibly throughout society. Surveillance by CCTV cameras in public spaces is an example of a technology that brings the gaze of a superior into the daily lives of the populace. Critical analyses of internet practice have suggested that the internet allows for a panoptic form of observation. ISPs are able to track users'' activities, while user-generated content means that daily social activity may be recorded and broadcast online.'

@Sub6 Is it possible to add an option to put image Assets into the mod? There are a few DDS files that I want to put into the game along with a few others made by Zyxpsilon, attached below are images in PNG format for viewing.

I have loose files override enabled and placed them into the Assets folder individually but this doesn't seem to work so it seems the only way is to load through VFS import.

Code:

LooseFilesOverridePAK = 1

I made a few key changes to these Roads-And-Rails assets; they are somewhat Darker and about 50% smaller than the default versions. I guess you'll find them much easier to find and look at, specially when maps are getting a lot more crowded with late game improvements and multiple units.
This is as far as i'm willing to get or do with that kind of stuff.

ryanmusante · Dec 26, 2018

This is the mod used to import textures. It works alongside Change VP Options. You can even disable the other folders and only import specific DDS but it's recommended to do so as DLC.

Zyxpsilon · Jan 1, 2019

IIRC.. the only applicable system for this sort of extra GFX assets (and many others, btw) was directly tied with my Z-UI installation process (mostly explained in details within the original thread) which is a bit hacky since custom folders are pulled off the usual DLC or DS9 structures & then, such files are rebuilt at runtime by the engine itself. I don't even have Civ5 installed anymore, sooo i can't really verify if it all works as smooth as it once did. I suspect it should though.

At New Version VP(12-18) release thread, to increase Hapiness anytime in a game, Gazebo himself suggest to open :

\MODS\(2) Community Balance Overhaul\Modular Elements\Happiness Mod\CityHappiness.sql

and :

Gazebo said:
Find the line that updates BALANCE_HAPPINESS_POP_MULTIPLIER with a number. It is currently zero. If you find your empire is descending into a nightmare of unhappiness, make this number negative. -10, -20, whatever you need it to be to get things on track. And let me know!

Here is the line :

Code:

   INSERT INTO Defines (
    Name, Value)
    SELECT 'BALANCE_HAPPINESS_POP_MULTIPLIER', '0'
    WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM COMMUNITY WHERE Type='COMMUNITY_CORE_BALANCE_CITY_HAPPINESS' AND Value= 1 );

I suppose it can be written in Code.sql as it is in CityHappiness.sql ?

Thx G :satan:

I think we can use an UPDATE statement.

UPDATE Defines SET Value = '-10' WHERE Name = 'BALANCE_HAPPINESS_POP_MULTIPLIER';

By the way, it seems to me that changing happiness values doesn't affect saved games.
We have to start a new game.

1. Sample2

I added a sample code which removed Venice from the random pool.
This code was imported from an older version of NQ Mod.

Code:

-- Remove Venice from the random pool.
UPDATE Civilizations SET AIPlayable = 'false' Where Type = 'CIVILIZATION_VENICE';

2. Mapscript

I dded a mapscript called "Communitas (rev)".
It guarantees Horse, Iron and Oil resources by default.

Default

Code:

    -- Add mandatory Iron, Horse, Oil to every start if Strategic Balance option is enabled.
    if self.resource_setting == 5 then

My tweak

Code:

    -- Add mandatory Iron, Horse, Oil to every start if your Resource setting is Standard (Default).
    if self.resource_setting == 2 then

Sound volume goes down as expected.
but city sound off after about 4/10 sec
... at early eras
and CTD
from industriel era

ryanmusante · Feb 9, 2019

@Asterix Rage
I agree, the ambient sound should be lowered by 50% as I have to force it manually through settings menu currently.

I confirmed the first problem.
I've added Looping, DontTriggerDuplicates and DontPlayMoreThan like Audio2DScripts.xml.
cf. \Sid Meier's Civilization V\Assets\Sounds\XML\Audio2DScripts.xml
Does this work properly?

Spoiler :

I'm not sure about CTD, though.

No it isn't.
However, you can easily edit that mapscript.

Replace

if self.resource_setting == 5 then

with

if self.resource_setting == 2 then
