Civ2Diplomacy Utility!

[yaroslav]

I have design a utility that allow human players negotiate bypassing the AI. How? Well, the program lets you create 'barters' (offers) that you can send to other player of a PBEM. If the others players accept, the utility will process the changes.

Galvatron (of Apolyton) help me with the translations! Now, I can offer you four languages in the utility: English, Spanish, Italian and German.

Altough I hope in a few days I will have a web page to post the utility, currently it's on Apolyton (The file is more than 250k larger, so I think that I can not post the file there):

If you try it, and want do critics, comments, sugestions or whatever, post there or drop me a line

Sounds interesting, i would certainly use this tool.

Ok. Now, I know all the info that I need about hex-editing (see http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34821) In a ten days or so I will have a functional beta that includes as major upgrades

* Offer/Demand of cities
* Offer/Demand maps: Terrain maps, units&terrain map, units&cities&terrian maps. Also I'm thinking on intelligensia maps (For example, you're german and buy romans all the squares they know about your evil foe england...)
* Offer of units

An a minor upgrade

* When you recieve a governement tech, you can declare a revolution from my utility

Great Job Yaroslav! I hope you won't forget to post it here when it is ready

 

[yaroslav]

Thank you all for your support

I'll send files to Thunderfall when I finish them

 

[sas]

If you want, you can mail it to me as well, and i will host it the same day as you send it.

 

[yaroslav]

Ok. I'll do

I think your best bet is to put something out we will try it and then let you know how it works, doesn't work.

Good job BTW, we could use something like this in a lot of PBEM's, Im getting sick of the AI always screwing things up.

EDIT: I add more info

Thank you. The reason beacuse I don't launch a public BETA, is that I can't allow some kinds of cheats. So, until I haven't test my utility so far that I'll be sure abouts cheats, I'll not launch a public release of 2.0 version

But, I always welcome beta-testers, so If any wants to be a beta-tester, contact me and I'll use you as a betatester.

And BTW, I haven't recieved too much feedback with the 1.0 and 1.1 version. I know abount only a PBEM where my utility was used (Thank you, Germanos and Sun Tzu)

 

[SunTzu]

We shall use it more often its a fine utility

 

[sas]

once the program allowes us to gift units, i suspect most games will have a house rule that everyone uses this program.

I sure will Actually, i could use it right now...

 

[germanos]

unit gifting sucks IMO. There should be house-rules against it.

So far I'm still testing the program (1st release), since I am still not sure on what it exactly does in certain situations.

So far, so good though

Thanks Yaroslav

 

[SunTzu]

Germanos, check your PM! lol

Thank you.

Two questions:

1) What thing are you not sure about? Please specify: my manual is far from good and I want to do a new manual for new version. It's very important to me to know where the manual is not clear.

2) Do you think that units exchange must be not implemented? I'm afraid that units offering can be a "God gift" for cheaters, so I'm unsure about what must I do...

Yaroslav

Please check your PM's I would like to beta test the new version in the Fourth Colonies PBEM

 

[Aravorn]

Yaroslav you out there? I would like to do a Beta test on the new CIVDIP, I got at least one guy in a new PBEM interested. Please check your PM's my emails are in there waiting for you.

Thanks

 

[yaroslav]

Ohhh. My fault: I don't recieve too many PMs on CFC, so I check it sparsely...

Check your PMs
