Edit caps defeated leader

[rhaul]

I hope someone can help me as I am embarrassed to keep asking Darkpanda to help me with my issues with editing this game.

The fact is that I would like to lowercase the letters of the name of the player (leader) that appears in the final text when we are defeated and they name our return.

@tupi Could you help me with this, please?

 

[darkpanda]

I don't mind you asking me for this only thing is I just do it when I can, so no guarantees...

Anyways, initial findings, untested, to fix this, this should remove the call to "to upper case" when writing the leader name on game over screen:

Thanks for the help.
It hasn't worked. :-(

Hum... No change at all ? or game crash ? or else ?

 

[rhaul]

"original":




patched:



Instead of displaying the leader's name text, use "! Ciudadanos alarmados." (Citizens alarmed).
If I remember correctly, it belongs some notice.

 

[darkpanda]

So weird !!

Which block of bytes did you chose to replace ?

I just tested on patching EN v474.04 and it works just fine:

 

[rhaul]

Try the 475.4 which is mine.

In fact I don't possess 475.04, but only 474.04 ...

I tried your patch on a copy of my 474.01, it starts ok, but then in-game its asking for "disk 1", looping forever...

I scanned the CIV.EXE from your spanish mod, and I find the exact same bytes at the same address:

versions EN.04:

address: 2CFC5h (ovr02:15C5)
original bytes: B806BA509A8629C41F83C402B806BA
patched bytes: B806BA909090909090909090909090
​

Can you double check you made the change at the right place ?

It does work when I patch my local copy of EN 474.01 with those bytes at the same addresse

 

[rhaul]

This is what I do. I do it wrong?





To end the game, what I do is start a new one on the Earth and as soon as the caravan appears, I unban it.

 

[darkpanda]

Yup seems we make the same change:

Have you done other changes ?

Like if you rollback ONLY THIS MODIFICATION, the bug disappears ?

I noticed the spanish mod patch includes lots of modifications, I will try to see if something else is off...

 

[rhaul]

The mod that I use now has even a lot of changes than the mod that you have downloaded from here.

If I revert the patch it stays as it was at the beginning (no bugs but in capital letters)

From the admiration to the final point, although later it can be seen in the capture that there are 3 or 4 spaces before the word "volverá"

Re-reading old threads, I think I found the issue:

I will try to update my patch and come back to you...

 

[darkpanda]

Ok can you try patching as follows then, with updated values ?

Re-reading old threads, I think I found the issue:

This forum is full of extraordinary information about this game.

Now yes... THANKS!!
