Global - City States Gifts

[whoward69]

City states give a gift of gold (mercantile), food (maritime), culture (cultural), faith (religious) or (possibly) a unit (militaristic).

In addition to the specific gift a friendship boost is also given - city states are sociable, they like meeting great nations!

Friendly city states give more than neutral ones, who in turn give more than hostile ones (if they give anything at all). Irrational city states are ... irrational in their gifts!

The first team to meet a city state gets more than subsequent ones, and the leader of the team gets more than the other team members.

Great. I was scratching my head how to do something like this using Lua. Always wondered why only religious CS were gifting more than mere gold.

Oh wow that's fantastic. I love the doggie-bag with food. Is there some place I can read about what to do with a .dll mod to get it to work?

Hi whoward69, tried to playtest this. The mod seems to have the desired effect, but I don't get any pop-ups when I meet a new city-state. I have v. 12 of the .dll as well as this one installed. Can you explain if I do something wrong?

 

[whoward69]

Any other mods? Specifically ones that also modify CityStateDiploPopup.lua and CityStateGreetingPopup.lua

Also, what's in lua.log (assuming you have logging enabled)

 

[kaspergm]

I have many other mods, but I didn't think any of them would modify those popups.

Lots of info in my lua.log - I've attached it, if that's any help.

 

[whoward69]

In CityStateDiploPopup.lua and CityStateGreetingPopup.lua within the UI\InGame\Popups sub-directory of the mod you will find the code

	local sProtectingPlayers = getProtectingPlayers(g_iMinorCivID);

	if (sProtectingPlayers ~= "") then
		Controls.ProtectInfo:SetText("[COLOR_POSITIVE_TEXT]" .. sProtectingPlayers .. "[ENDCOLOR]");
	else
		Controls.ProtectInfo:SetText(Locale.ConvertTextKey("TXT_KEY_CITY_STATE_NOBODY"));
	end
	
	Controls.ProtectInfo:SetToolTipString(Locale.ConvertTextKey("TXT_KEY_POP_CSTATE_PROTECTED_BY_TT"));
	Controls.ProtectLabel:SetToolTipString(Locale.ConvertTextKey("TXT_KEY_POP_CSTATE_PROTECTED_BY_TT"));

delete it from each file - that'll fix the immediate problem.

I vaguely remember an issue uploading that mod, and I note I'm using v2 on my system which isn't on my site yet

 

[kaspergm]

Hi, I tried to do as you said, but in the folder there is only the CityStateGreetingPopup.lua file (and no other files!) - the CityStateDiploPopup.lua file is not there at all!

 

[whoward69]

Just edit the one file then

 

[kaspergm]

Ok, I'll let you know when I've had time to test if this works!

 

[kaspergm]

Just wanted to report that after I commented out the lines you mentioned, the pop-up works as intended!
