Extra Human-Player Units at Game Start 1.05

[gyogen2]

I just replaced the builder unit with legion and it spawned fine, want to post the code you used, may be something in it.

Hmm just thought, it could be bc its a speciality unit tied to Romans.....

Really? I just started a game with tanks, so i just thought it was speciality units. Odd that the extra unit code i put in works with warriors and tanks but not legions.

It's because it's "UNIT_ROMAN_LEGION".

 

[SIGIMUS]

ah ok, makes sense bc its roman only, my bad

cheers!

just a heads-up. When my wife and I used this mod in multiplayer, the units would just load in fine. However as soon as we both end the first turn, she drops out of the game, resynching and when she is back, her units are gone...

 

[gyogen2]

Thanks for mentioning. I never thought of this for multiplayer and so never tested for it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Found a bug. Upon reloading you first turn, let's say to start off with a new tactic or w/e...you lose your bonus units, and start with vanilla units; settler/warrior.

 

[gyogen2]

This is a gamescript, and currently they are only loaded when a new game starts. If you try to reload, or open a save, the game will not load the script. Hopefully this is changed when tools released, or work around is found.

gyogen2 updated Extra Human-Player Units at Game Start with a new update entry:

Update Boosted Human Start

Allows human player to start with extra units, techs, and gold

To edit amounts and techs, change values at top of lua:

Spoiler ScoutSpawn.lua --( never changed file name from original test) :

local numSettlers = 0  --------------------------------------------set number of extra starting settlers for player
local numScouts   = 5  --------------------------------------------set number of extra starting scouts
local numBuilders = 2 ---------------------------------------------set number...

Read the rest of this update entry...

Is there any way to make this apply to Hotseat players? I started a game with another person and only player 1 got the bonus, not player 2.

 

[WilliamTell]

Stupid question (I am new to this): What .lua file do I modify?

I tried adding the basic lines to the GreatestEarthMap.lua but nothing happened. I then unchecked the mod in the options menu, nothing happened, I then put it in a unique .lua file and included from the GreatesEarhMap.lua but nothing happened - so what .lua file do I modify?

When I have a chance I will run some tests with hotseat and see if I can adapt.

 

[gyogen2]

What .lua file do I modify?

If you mean to set the gold, etc. then you open the ScoutSpawn.lua that is in the mod folder. It is the only lua in the folder.

Thank you!

I cannot find ScoutSpawn.lua in the "mod" folder. Full path would be helpful. MyDocs/Sids/Mods does not contain this file, and steamapps/Sids has no mod folder. Anyone willing to write up idiot proof instructions?

Note: I downloaded Mynex More Starting Points and it is working, but I would really like to understand the basics.

C:\Users\YourComputer\Documents\my games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Mods\PlayerSpawn, You are talking about Extra Human-Player Units mod right?

gyogen2 submitted a new resource:

Extra Player Units at Game Start - Spawns extra Settler, Scout, and/or Builder units at start of game.



Read more about this resource...

Hi there, I tried your MOD, and change the numbers for settlers, builders, and scouts to 5 each and 3 each but this doesn't seem to take affect in in the game??? I also tried changing the amount of gold and this didn't make a difference either. No matter what I change it seems to stick with 1 x settler, 3 x builders, and 5 x scouts. Any suggestions what I could be doing wrong???

 

[gyogen2]

I'll check.
