Custom Advanced Setup Screen (and HotSeat with Mods)

skitso · Oct 29, 2012

ok somehow i fixed it, no longer having the problem! thank you for the great mod!

it turned out to be a problem when using americans on a hotseat team, and moving units around with the editor. thats the part i forgot i did. i havent tested to see exactly what mod is responsible, but i have a feeling its the editor. funny thing is it only does it with americans.. i guess i'll check through the IGE thread and see if its discussed, sorry about not doing that first but i noticed the flaw after adding CASS

Is there a reason that this mod has HideSetupScreen = 1? Could I change that without a change in function?

Gedemon · Dec 10, 2012

The revolution mod IIRC.

Now I could put the restriction in the Revolution mod instead, but I'll try to remember if there were another reason before

Hmm, I see. Is there a reason that Revolution mod needs HideSetupGame = 1? I know you need the CASS for something with CityStates that I don't understand, but wouldn't that work fine even with HideSetupGame = 0?

if you use Revolution with a normal setup game, on a standard game the setup screen will say that there will be 12 CS in game but you'll get only 2 as Revolution will reserve 10.

Huh, that's interesting.

Well, is there a way to make the CASS show the traits of leaders in the advanced setup screen? Because that's really the only thing I'd need it to do.

I'm a bit confused.

I created a hotseat game to pass between a friend and I via e-mail. However, we both want to be able (when desired) to play each others' turns. However, when I send him the save, he can load up the save but then it asks for a password before he can do a turn.

I never set any passwords, is there a way to stop that from happening?

Hey! Can Somebody help me? I want to play hotseat with mod (huge earth and correct starting locations, as I edited starting locations myself in Civ 5 Map Builder)

So anyway I just want to know how to get mod to hotseat

so I read this:
- launch game, go to the mod browser, click the "Install Mods" button.
- click on the "Installed" tab, find the Custom Setup lines and activate it.
I launched Civ 5 and selected "Mod" but I cant see anywhere option "install mods" or "installed", only options are "back", "get mod", "next", "options...DLC mode...)

My Civ 5 should be updated, bought from steam with Gods ands Kings.

So yeah, this steam stuff and so is new to me and maybe someone can help me

Hey, everybody! Just wanted to confirm that GMR does work with hotseat games created by the Custom Advanced Setup Screen. You just have to be sure you use the CASS to load the game as well, of course.

When i choose a player to be human, the button "start game" is not clickable! can you help me why this happens?

Horem · Jul 31, 2013

Hi Gedemon, I know you are probably busy converting/updating all your other projects. Even so I was wondering if you had any intention of updating this for BNW? Even though it still works with BNW as is, be nice to see it take advantage of the included hotseat?

Gedemon · Jul 31, 2013

what's the incompatibility with BNW ?

Horem · Jul 31, 2013

There is no incompatibility, cosmetic, been able to set player name, save at hotseat screen

Gedemon · Jul 31, 2013

ha, ok.

Sorry, yep, this mod is pretty low in my priority list ATM, but I may work on it again.

fabioroma · Nov 15, 2013

hi everyone ,

at first thanks Gedemon for your good job. I would like know how to do for use my map with starting location for all civilizations and city states? Because my map work for moment but without starting location...Thanks in advance if someone can help me.

Hi Gedemon!

This is Khose Galkin, from LOTR scenario. I use your Hotseat mod, that worked perfectly until I increased the standard number of civilizations to 34 with Howards DLL.

All the nations are shown in dropdown boxes, and get the SlotStatus and SlotClaim correctly in Setup Screen lines:

PreGame.SetSlotStatus( i, SlotStatus.SS_TAKEN )
PreGame.SetSlotClaim( i, SlotClaim.SLOTCLAIM_RESERVED )

Here you can see the log of this correct configuration:

Spoiler :

Then, the game starts, killing the default civ nation and starting with the next one. If the next player is after 22, the following line doesn't work:

if (pPlayer:IsAlive() and pPlayer:IsHuman()...)

so I changed it to

if(PreGame.GetSlotClaim(iPlayerLoop) == SlotClaim.SLOTCLAIM_RESERVED )

and It worked.

However, I have realised that the game loses at some time the SLOTSTATUS_TAKEN status for the nations AFTER 22, but conserves the SLOTCLAIM_RESERVED, so in the game I set again...

if(PreGame.GetSlotClaim(iPlayerLoop) == SlotClaim.SLOTCLAIM_RESERVED ) then
PreGame.SetSlotStatus( iPlayerLoop, SlotStatus.SS_TAKEN )
end

As a result, the game starts and the logs shows...

Spoiler :

So, for nations before 22, the game get the SLOTSTATUS_TAKEN and SLOTCLAIM_RESERVED. For those after 22, only SLOTCLAIM_RESERVED. As I said, I've put then again the SLOTSTATUS_TAKEN, but the game still IGNORES the nations with SLOTSTATUS_TAKEN and SLOTCLAIM_RESERVED after 22, although they are correctly set.

Any idea of what could cause this?

Thanks and sorry if I disturbed you with my long message.

Khose

@ispants - see reply on the "DLL - Various Mod Components" thread. And in general, please don't post the same question on multiple threads.

Thanks, whoward.

Regarding posting the same question. Since this question regards two mod components, the Gedemon Advanced Setup Screen and your DLL, and I had no idea which one is the cause of this "bug", and they are made by two different people, I decided to put it in the thread of the MOD component creators.

I would like to know what you and Gedemon think about it, and I supposed you don't read this thread and Gedemon doesn't yours. As I see, I was wrong. Sorry for having disturbed you.
