DLL - Various Mod Components

Very well...

The files I have looked at so far, contain no notes of what you have changed. You made the changes, but didn't update the changes with a note saying "whoward".

You could just use Winmerge: http://winmerge.org/

 

[Acoustic]

Finding a program to merge isn't the problem.

 

[Nutty]

Not to merge, to compare differences.

I used CompareIt! back in my Civ4 modding days - works really well...

 

[Acoustic]

Quod erat demonstrandum

If you're gonna converse with me, care to to do it in English?



Yes, Winmerge is a helpful tool. It does not tell me what changes were made between the original and whoward's DLL. I need to know this before merging with the Civ IV dll.

 

[Gedemon]

It does if you compare the original source folder and whoward's source folder.

 

[grinser]

try notepad++; it has an compare [with display of differences] between 2/3 files. That module is in the packet manager.

 

[whoward69]

"Quod erat demonstrandum" more commonly written as "QED" (but that was under the 5 char min required by the forum) Translates from the Latin as "which had to be demonstrated".

You are asking me to flag every single change I have made in the source. Every single change I have made IS ALREADY MARKED.

QED, you don't know what you're looking at.

 

[Acoustic]

My apologies, the files I took a look at weren't changed and didn't have flags.

Didn't think about that GED, thanks.

Off topic: Quite the literary man are we whoward? I appreciate the explanation, but you come off as quite the intrusive person though. I'm sure you're not, however, and just have a different way of expressing yourself via the internet. Right?

 

[LetMyPeopleGo]

@Acoustic,

I just want to clarify that Winmerge is an excellent tool when it comes to comparing tow text files of any kind, it's easy to use and it highlights the differences and if one file has more lines it will add spaces in the other file in the right places so you can find added lines and changed lines with ease.

That's what they tried to tell you, it's used first and foremost as a comparison tool.

 

[Acoustic]

Yes, I've used winmerge since day 1 of editing for CiV. It would have taken me a lot longer to compare Whowards files to the original and THEN compare them to the Civ IV. If he had already had a version where he noted the files he changed (which he did, and which I overlooked), it would save me a lot of time.

V21 includes support for changing the maximum number of playable majors from 22 to any number between 2 and 62 - but you will need to edit the value in CustomModsGlobal.h and recompile.

For a pre-compiled dll supporting 34 majors see post #90 in this thread

In order to use more than 22 majors with .civ5maps and map scripts you will also need the updated AssignStartingPlots.lua file included in "Maps - Improved CS Luxuries". If you think you are likely to set majors + minors greater than 63 during game setup (you'll know if you did as the game will crash!) you will also need the updated AdvancedSetup.lua file from "Maps - Improved Small Landmasses"

Note that the following map scripts are still incompatible with more than 22 majors as they either redefine method(s) from AssignStartingPlots.lua or contain additional checks

• Great_Plains.lua (redefines AssignLuxuryRoles() method)
• Great_Plains_XP.lua (redefines AssignLuxuryRoles() method)
• Amazon.lua (redefines AssignLuxuryRoles() method)
• Amazon_XP.lua (redefines AssignLuxuryRoles() method)
• Frontier.lua (checks for 22 civs)
• Hemispheres.lua (checks for 22 civs)
• Skirmish.lua (checks for 22 civs)
• West_vs_East.lua (checks for 22 civs)

The in-game tutorial system is also incompatible with a changed number of majors as it assumes that there is a City State in slot 22

If someone was to use the DLL only w/o any of your other mods, would they only pick up the "BugFix" changes? I have a friend starting Civ and I would like him to have bug fixes before delving into things that change the game.

 

[BernardoAZ]

I have been using the Global - 2 Units Per Tile mod. In G+K it worked everywhere, including cities. In BNW it no longer works on the tile when it is a city. The game does not let me move a second unit into a city. It won't let me purchase a civilian unit with faith (like a missionary) until the current civilian unit is outside the city.

Is this an easy problem to resolve, or is this a major headache, and won't be done for a while - or at all?

 

[gunnergoz]

@WHoward, I've had two consistent CTD's while playing with your DLL and immediately after selecting the tenet that gives you six free Foreign Legion units. Now truth be told I use a lot of other mods alongside yours, but the game plays well and loads from saves just fine up to this particular problem...and I'm well into the Atomic Age on a huge map. I was wondering if there might be something that comes to mind to you that could be an issue from any particular one of your many PickNmix mods, since I use so many of those all the time? (By the way, I am NOT using Blublu's mod that returns the Foreign Legion to France.)
My favorite suspect is that it may be an issue with the Unique Buildings Compendium since it replaced the Foreign Legion with the Patisserie - and I am using that mod in this game.

 

[NamesAreStupid]

So does this work with BNW? Because I'm getting missing dependencies when I try to select it.
EDIT: Restarted the game and now it's working. Weird.

 

[ifinnem]

I'm not getting the free aqueducts with the Tradition finisher when using this - anyone else had this issue?
