Help Tag

[Monaldinio]

Maybe some of you knowe, the plantefall mod use in some Info.xml (Building, Promotion ect) a tag called <Help></Help>...wich allow add. text...via a text key...

I would like tu use this tag also in my BonusInfo.xml...
I have tried to edit, in my opinon, the necessary sdk files..., but it do not work...

First of all, i do not realy know if this is the right way...
Second, i get a Error...
Can someone help?!?



CvGameTextMgr.cpp

void CvGameTextMgr::setBonusHelp(CvWStringBuffer &szBuffer, BonusTypes eBonus, bool bCivilopediaText, bool bStrategyText, bool bTechChooserText, CvCity* pCity)
{
	setBonusTradeHelp(szBuffer, eBonus, bCivilopediaText, NO_PLAYER);
}

CvGameTextMgr.h

DllExport void setBonusHelp(CvWStringBuffer &szBuffer, BonusTypes eBonus, bool bCivilopediaText = false, bool bStrategyText = false, bool bTechChooserText = false, CvCity* pCity = NULL);

CyGameTextMgr.cpp

std::wstring CyGameTextMgr::getBonusHelp(int iBonus, bool bCivilopediaText, bool bStrategyText, bool bTechChooserText, CyCity* pCity)
{
	CvWStringBuffer szBuffer;
	GAMETEXT.setBonusHelp(szBuffer, (BonusTypes)iBonus, bCivilopediaText, bStrategyText, bTechChooserText, ((pCity != NULL) ? pCity->getCity() : NULL));
	return szBuffer.getCString();

CyGameTextMgr.h

std::wstring getBonusHelp(int iBonus, bool bCivilopediaText, bool bStrategyText, bool bTechChooserText, CyCity* pCity);

Isn't it already there by default? I can see a Help tag in the TerrainSchema BtS file:

	<ElementType name="BonusInfo" content="eltOnly">
		<element type="Type"/>
		<element type="Description"/>
		<element type="Civilopedia"/>
		<element type="Help" minOccurs="0"/>
		<element type="BonusClassType"/>

The minOccurs=0 means that you don't need to have a tag but you can add one if you want (exactly between tags Civilopedia & BonusClassType).

Aha, so i dont have to chance nothing in the sdk?!?

Thats what i have in my BonusInfo.xml...

<BonusInfo>
			<Type>BONUS_MONOLITH</Type>
			<Description>TXT_KEY_BONUS_MONOLITH</Description>
			<Civilopedia>TXT_KEY_BONUS_MONOLITH_PEDIA</Civilopedia>
			<Help>TXT_KEY_BONUS_MONOLITH_HELP</Help>

Thats what i have in my TerrainSchema...

<ElementType name="BonusInfo" content="eltOnly">
		<element type="Type"/>
		<element type="Description"/>
		<element type="Civilopedia"/>
		<element type="Help" minOccurs="0"/>

But the Text wich i add is not shown in the pedia...

<TEXT>
		<Tag>TXT_KEY_BONUS_MONOLITH_HELP</Tag>
		<English>[ICON_BULLET]BLa bla bla</English>
		<French>[ICON_BULLET]BLa bla bla</French>
		<German>[ICON_BULLET]BLa bla bla</German>
		<Italian>[ICON_BULLET]BLa bla bla</Italian>
		<Spanish>[ICON_BULLET]BLa bla bla</Spanish>		
	</TEXT>

I don't know, it should be displayed in Civilopedia via the CvPediaBonus.py:

Spoiler :

	def placeSpecial(self):
		
		screen = self.top.getScreen()
		
		panelName = self.top.getNextWidgetName()
		screen.addPanel( panelName, localText.getText("TXT_KEY_PEDIA_EFFECTS", ()), "", true, false,
				 self.X_EFFECTS_PANE, self.Y_EFFECTS_PANE, self.W_EFFECTS_PANE, self.H_EFFECTS_PANE, PanelStyles.PANEL_STYLE_BLUE50 )
						
		listName = self.top.getNextWidgetName()
		screen.attachListBoxGFC( panelName, listName, "", TableStyles.TABLE_STYLE_EMPTY )
		screen.enableSelect(listName, False)
		
		szSpecialText = CyGameTextMgr().getBonusHelp(self.iBonus, True)
		splitText = string.split( szSpecialText, "\n" )
		for special in splitText:
			if len( special ) != 0:
				screen.appendListBoxString( listName, special, WidgetTypes.WIDGET_GENERAL, -1, -1, CvUtil.FONT_LEFT_JUSTIFY )

Is it Sevopedia that you are using or something else?

 

[Monaldinio]

No, im using the normal bts cvPediaBonus.py...

And i have exactly the same Code like you...


Know im using the "old" DLL, the one without my silly changes...
But it isnt shown in the Pedia...

 

[isenchine]

Hmmm... maybe it's useless but I would try the text tag <German>[ICON_BULLET]BLa bla bla</German>
without the [ICON_BULLET].

 

[Monaldinio]

I will try!

And if you add the <help></help> to your BonusInfo, it Works and a Text is Shown in the pedia?!?

 

[isenchine]

Tested: yes it works and the text is shown in civilopedia.

 

[Monaldinio]

In wich Field of the Screen, could i have a Screenshot?

 

[isenchine]

Effets (Effects).

Edit: just in case, it worked too with

<French>[ICON_BULLET]BLa bla bla</French>

: it shows correctly with the icon bullet in front.

Germans are known as peotes and thinker...
But one of them is stupid as hell!!!
Problem solved!
thank you isenchine, for your charity!
