Help, Religion in Custom Scenario Not Working!

CivEarth · Aug 26, 2016

I've been trying to add religion to my scenario/mod, and since I'm a Lua newbie I've been using this Lua script guide:

http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=470617

But when I load up the mod, all I get is a minimal religion overview screen with no world religions that I can't close out of. What am I doing wrong? :confused:

Here is my modified file:

Well, first off... the last line has a space in EstablishChris tian, if that isn't an artifact of this forum.

What does the log say?

It must be an artifact of the forum; I checked modbuddy and there was no such space.
Here's the lua log, I couldn't get anything helpful out of it but maybe you can:

There is also something wacky going on with the turns. I try to set the start in 1300 AD in worldbuilder, but it always goes 250 or so turns ahead and the game starts in like 7000AD. I'm not sure if that may or may not be contributing to the problem.

I just copied and pasted the whole function into a lua file and there is an error somewhere. Are you certain an end isn't added or missing? Does the file in Modbuddy on your computer show that the function is closed? To the left of the code, are there the connecting lines that show a closed function?

Here is my latest iteration of the code... perhaps I have changed something that fundamentally alters how it works.

Code:

-- Find Paris player and found Christianity in their city, returning the city

function EstablishChristian()
if Game.GetElapsedGameTurns() == 0 then

function CreateChristianHolyCity(pCity, religion, pantheonBelief, founderBelief, followerBelief, followerBelief2, enhancerBelief)
  local iPlayer = pCity:GetOwner()
  local iReligion = GameInfoTypes[religion]

  -- Optional extra beliefs
  local iBelief4 = followerBelief2 and GameInfoTypes[followerBelief2] or -1
  local iBelief5 = enhancerBelief and GameInfoTypes[enhancerBelief] or -1

  Game.FoundPantheon(iPlayer, GameInfoTypes[pantheonBelief])
  Game.FoundReligion(iPlayer, iReligion, nil, GameInfoTypes[founderBelief], GameInfoTypes[followerBelief], -1, -1, pCity)
  Game.EnhanceReligion(iPlayer, iReligion, GameInfoTypes[followerBelief2], GameInfoTypes[enhancerBelief]);
end

function FoundChristianity()
  for iPlayer=0, GameDefines.MAX_CIV_PLAYERS - 1 do
    local pPlayer = Players[iPlayer]
    if (pPlayer:IsEverAlive()) then

	for pCity in pPlayer:Cities() do

				-- City exists and has the proper name?
    			if pCity ~= nil and pCity:GetName() == "Paris" then

		             CreateChristianHolyCity(pCity, "RELIGION_CHRISTIANITY", "BELIEF_GOD_KING",
					"BELIEF_PAPAL_PRIMACY", "BELIEF_CATHEDRALS",  "BELIEF_MOSQUES", "BELIEF_RELIGIOUS_TEXTS");
					print ("okay, Paris is the Catholic holy city")
				return pCity
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

local pChristianPlot = FoundChristianity():Plot()

end
end

Events.SequenceGameInitComplete.Add(EstablishChristian)

and...

Code:

-- Enumerate Playable Civ Cities with Christianity

function FollowChristianityA()
if Game.GetElapsedGameTurns() == 0 then

for iPlayer=0, GameDefines.MAX_CIV_PLAYERS - 1 do
	local pPlayer = Players[iPlayer];
		if pPlayer:IsEverAlive() then 
			
			-- Enumerate cities
			for pCity in pPlayer:Cities() do

				-- City exists and has the proper name?
    			
				
				if pCity ~= nil and pCity:GetName() == "Aachen" then
					pCity:ConvertPercentFollowers(2, -1, 100);
					print(pCity:GetName(), "...is getting Christian followers...");
				return pCity							
    			end
			end
		end
end
end
end

Events.SequenceGameInitComplete.Add(FollowChristianityA)

One thing I did find was that I applying the code individually to cities when I established a religion seemed to clear up a few problems... so multiple versions of the code just above for each city helped. Otherwise, the code did not fire for all cities for some reason.

I'm going to be offline for about 8 hours... so I hope I've been somewhat helpful. I'll check this thread when I get back home.

CivEarth · Aug 27, 2016

I tried your advice and I'm still stumped. I can load up the game fine, but the first thing that happens is the religion screen pops up. It says I need "six faith points to start a pantheon (even as the Papal States)" and won't let close out!

Craig_Sutter · Aug 27, 2016

Ah... you might need to adjust the number of religions for the world size in xml. I am not home right now, so I cannot tell you the file name exactly, but it should be in Worlds.xml. You may have to update the entry to match the number of religions you want.

I could be wrong.

Also, If one of your founding cities is a city state, the number of religions should be reduced by one for each city state that has a holy city... don't ask me why

.

Craig_Sutter · Aug 27, 2016

Did you adjust the code as per the newest version I posted? It works during the pregame sequence.

CivEarth · Aug 27, 2016

I tried your latest advice with the world file, but no luck. I think the root of the problem may be that the game isn't founding the religion at all in Rome, but is spreading it to other cities. I'm not sure, since I can't move around with the religion screen up, but the religion screen does say "+35 from city-state (there are a lot of them)."
Holy City Rome BTW is held by a playable Papal States, so no problem there.
I've looked at the medieval scenario ReligionOverview.lua, but I'm not sure what to copy and what not to. I pretty much just want to spread the religion to everyone.

Does this mean that Rome (city) is not from the vanilla Roman civ and is a Papal States civ city?

Yes, it is a Papal States civ city.

I just had the thought it may be conflicting with with the vanilla Rome database entries. Does it work if you change it to say Benevento?
