That is another story, if modules are strongly integrated they should be merged into the core at some point but for some reason this never happens. I think we should consider merging every strongly integrated module into the core and if they are the text files will also be merged into the core.

Now most of the stuff is either DH's and Hydro's stuff, others we can merged after release.

Maybe I should first finish cleaning up the Module/Resource folder, there shouldn't be too many things left in there. I'll look what's left.

Looks like there's nothing left here except some schema files (are those still useful?).

Dancing Hoskuld, this means that you already merged/deleted the files left in Modules/Resources?

I will start on the second page but probably wont get to all, will let you know where i leave off.

I have been meaning to merge my promotions (which is basically my whole module) into the core anyways so go for it there.

But the part about the blahblah... I'm not sure if you're a native english speaker like me but we have an odd language for one that is based as much as it is on latin. Most of the latin languages pretty much outright require terms to be defined in male or female expressions and that's what all that extra stuff you'd prefer to dump is all about. I BELIEVE that it's better to keep the more complex forms than the simpler ones in all cases where it's possible to retain them. But then again I only know a hint of French and Spanish here and there so what do I know? Not much... just taking a guess really.

I have a habit of opening an exhorbitantly large amount of files (all that may include the types of objects I'm looking for) in notepad++ then searching for the common key phrases alone and searching for them throughout all opened files. This usually works pretty well to find everything I'm looking for at once then I go from the bottom up... but I think you've got better ways than I do to perform this task

@DH
Looks like TXT_KEY_BUILDING_DISEASE_MALARIA is both in my Disease mod and your Unhealth mod. What should we do about it?

The malaria in my module was intended to completely replace the Malaria in the disease module so the texts are different also. Unfortunately the properties are not WoC compatible so I really should remove the Unhealthiness mod completely.

I agree. As soon as stuff is finished it should be merged back into core. However I have been having trouble merging anything with missions and outcomes into core. If I merge the mission and outcome data into core then the units loose access to the missions.

Text in the modules must stay in the modules. Sometimes the text is not a duplicate there but a complete overwrite of what is in core. That was the case with the Unhealthiness mod.

There are still the wine club buildings which need to be merged into core. Everything else has been merged already.

edit a number of duplicates I have done have turned out not to be duplicates but copy and paste errors where the text was changed but the TEXT KEY was not.

Now that we got some more big chunks out of the list can you remake the list again to see what's left?

So what buildings are left? :confused:

Look at post 142/3.

~~But that still lists ones that are already fixed. I want an updated list that doesn't have the ones that have already been fixed.~~

EDIT: Nevermind that IS the updated list. :crazyeye:

Looks like besides the Manor building have have done all the ones related to my mods.

They are not used by the game anymore, i remove all ~1100 of them in the next days. This saves us another 70Mb

I will be fixing TXT_KEY_BUILDING_MANOR_PEDIA and TXT_KEY_BUILDING_MANOR_STRATEGY, but other than that no. However the hand full of MrAzure stuff I might do since the other stuff he had was just he forgot to add the tag _PEDIA and _STRATEGY to his text.

EDIT: Fixed more of MrAzure's broken text.

List of buildings sorted chronologically by prerequisite tech:

Part 1

Spoiler :

Rwn · May 30, 2014

Part 2

Spoiler :

Note: When there are several prereq techs, the latest one is used.
This was done before Hydromancerx' review of classical era techs.
There are also a few duplicates (less than 40) when different prereq tech were given for the duplicate in the other entry.

Free buildings for new cities depending on tech:

Spoiler :

Edit: Hmm, not sure this is right; I've had new cities with the corresponding techs that did not get the corresponding buildings. Oh, well, it'd have been too easy :]

The problem is the long chains of prerequisites, I think. After getting the autobuilds to happen first most free buildings were provided but those that require one of those free buildings or an autobuild that requires the first set of autobuild or first set of free doesn't get built. Unfortunately the two bits f code needs to loop through both lists until nothing is built in that loop iteration.

All the Free in new cities XML should be in the Modules/My mods/NewCityFree folder

Yes, the table above is based on this file.

But there must be something wrong somewhere, I'm sure I've had new cities without tannin maker or village hall in Ancient era (though all of those buildings were available to build).

Edit: I think I know why. Those buildings require very common resources (wood, bark...) that are not available when the city is not created connected to the trade network....

Also, I don't know if I'm the only one, but I always sell all the palisade/frontier outpost and other buildings that cost maintenance; they are just not worth the cost...

Do you mind if I make a modmod with different free buildings?

The mod is there for comment. No one has :mischief:

. If you want another then go for it. Just remember the minimum population requirement on some buildings.
