Fall from Heaven Wiki opened

[xanaqui42]

I updated all the Hero and Unit entries to .21a or later. Note that since I used code to generate the vast majority of the text, and there were a few defects in the initial version, you may note the following issues, all of which were fixed while I was working on this:

1) In some places, "Copper Weapons" are referenced instead of "Bronze Weapons"
2) Under certain conditions, The upgrade unit is incorrect for the wiki.
3) Certain builds displayed improperly.

In any case, I should pick up any of these defects that are remaining during my next pass.

 

[xanaqui42]

Excepting a small number of defects (the largest one at the moment is that it doesn't determine that civilization-specific heroes are civilization-specific), this code works (it generates one file for each unit and hero, each of which is a formatted wiki entry). Possible ways of expansion:
1) Other areas of the Wiki (ex: Promotions, Spells, Buildings, etc.)
2) Other languages. ex: French, German (Note that my French is weak and my German worse; I'd need help with either, assuming that I'm doing the work).
3) Use on ModMods.

If it would be of use to anyone, I'm also willing to release the (fairly ugly C++) code. Note that it requires an external .dll, and an STL library that is at least as good as Microsoft's back during Visual Studio 6.0 (virtually all are).

See what you think. I entered in 3 samples; obviously there's a lot more to enter.

I suggest putting the effects of mutation on a seperate page and leaving them off the chart for aesthetic reasons. Just put in "Randomly changes a living unit" and let people link to the results.

Vitalize does work on flood plains, it's spring that does not.

Please help to create more entries or correct incorrect entries. It would make things easier for all of us if more people contribute.

Could xanaqui or someone else with the skills create a template for buildings/wonders? What I had in mind would be cost, abilities, required tech, prerequisite buildings, allowed buildings, allowed units and anything else you can think of - essentially I think it would be nice for the buildings section to look similar to the units, religions, promotions, etc.

Unless someone else jumps at the chance, I'll try to do this by the end of the weekend.

 

[sixs_monkey]

You rock.

 

[xanaqui42]

Both have been performed. Recon Units is accurate for the first time.

Thanks for doing that, it looks very comprehensive. At least, nothing jumped out at me as glaringly missing while I was reading it. There's no real hurry, at least on my part - I'd like to work on the buildings but I don't have much spare time for the next few weeks, although others may.

I'm about 1/2 done; sorry for the delay - I've been sick. In any case, many things are missing. The fields I'm describing in the template are the ones where either an automated link or an automated image will help; there are dozens of fields in the XML which would be listed under "Specials".

Hi.
The guys from the German FfH II wiki want to know what the values:

Conscription value
and
Culture Garrison

in general gameplay terms stand for, so they can translate and explain it.
thanks!

and keep up the great work, you guys are great xanaqui

Conscription Value is the value of the unit for the conscription code (higher is better). Basically, Conscription will use the best unit (according to this value) that the city in question can train. CvCity::conscript and getConscriptPopulation has useful detail.

Culture garrison has to do with the culture value of the unit when it's garrisoned (for the purposes of the city being taken over via culture). Note that this is a base value; it is doubled if the owner of the units is at war with the cultural owner, and halved if the owner of the units has the City States Civic. See CvPlot::doCulture and CvCity::cultureGarrison for code-level detail.

The good news is that it's written. Here is an example of use, and here is the template.

The bad news is that it seems that there's been a recent code change to the site; the old way of hiding unused attributes isn't working. I'll try to investigate another method.

Update: ifeq works (if doesn't evaluate it's first expression). The promotions template is updated (largely because it's a simple template); I'll try to update the other similar templates within the next few days.

Update2: I changed all ifs in all the templates I found to ifeq. Feel free to let me know if you note any issues.

 

[mervvyn]

that looks great, i'll start putting a few in later this week. thanks for doing it.

 

[xanaqui42]

Changes from 0.20h-0.20a versions have been applied.

 

[xanaqui42]

The version notes are here, and the changes are in the wiki.

 

[mervvyn]

i noticed a small problem in the buildings template - there are two sets of these parameters
Culture_Commerce_Change = |
Research_Commerce_Change = |
Wealth_Commerce_Change = |
I assume one set is meant to be Culture_Commerce_Yield_Modifier = | and so on, because I couldn't find those parameters (trying to enter +50&#37; research for academy). Otherwise, it's very impressive, a lot of flexibility there .

edit: was procrastinating and changed it myself, it seems to work. also added a parameter for change in great person rate.
edit 2: Up to Bear Totem (doing buildings, then wonders later)

edit 2: Up to Bear Totem (doing buildings, then wonders later)

The main defect I've noted is that I have building/wonder requirements in two places, both of which are expressed differently. I just moved them next to each other (in the display); I should investigate if the first one (building/wonder) can be removed entirely.
