Decompiling?

[Nitram15]

Is there a way to decompile .pyc files to simple .py files?

 

[Asaf]

Look here, here, and here (all from stackoverflow). Hopefully you'll find what you need (Civ4 uses Python 2.4).

Oh brilliant! Thank you Asaf!
EDIT: Actually I found what I wanted, but sadly the use costs money! I won't give money to a very simple modification.

...which is good, because the EULA doesn't allow any decompiling .

It's sad. But understandeable.
But then, is there a FREE way to create new Calendar types? I wanted to decompile calendar.pyc to see if I found anything useful.

Did you try adding one in Calendar Info XML? (If such a thing exists.)

Everything what is in the systems subfolder is belonging to python itself and doesn't have anything to do with civ4s game content -> there would not have been anything useful in there .


Baldyr is nearly right, there's a BasicInfos\CIV4CalendarInfos.xml, but i guess for the complete definition of a new calender type you'll have to dig around in the SDK (...but i really don't know).

I want to change CALENDAR_MONTHS value to don't be months, but to something I can define (Early January, Late January, Early February, Late February etc. etc. ...). Btw, I searched for it and didn't find anything. I fear it is hardcoded.

I thought there are both Civ 4 and python files. Thanks for the info.

Since the game interface is in Python; wouldn't it be possible to convert the date shown at runtime? Essentially have your own calendar calculated from game turn, but without defining a custom CalendarType.

You have BasicInfos/Civ4MonthInfos.xml

Actually, the Civ4MonthInfos.xml solved my problem. Thanks for all.
