how to enable No Settlers option in vanilla BtS?

[orlanth]

A quick basic question.. I want to enable the No Settlers game option from FfH for vanilla BtS and other mods, what is the best way to go about this?

I tried adding the following to /BtS/Assets/XML/GameInfo/CIV4GameOptionInfos.XML but it didn't work, after a while of looking through the XMLs I can't figure out what else I should change. Thanks in advance for any help!


<GameOptionInfo>
<Type>GAMEOPTION_NO_SETTLERS</Type>
<Description>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_NO_SETTLERS</Description>
<Help>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_NO_SETTLERS_HELP</Help>
<bDefault>0</bDefault>
<bVisible>1</bVisible>
</GameOptionInfo>

You have to create a custom DLL for any new game options to work. Using only XML you cannot accomplish this as a gameoption.

It might work to replace the UNITCLASS_SETTLER information to have a limit of -1 in all fields. It would block players from building any settlers, but ought to allow you to still get your free settler at the start of the game.

Thanks; I tried that and it worked (limit has to be 0 though). They should have put that option in vanilla, it makes for a good quick game on Advanced Start with the max number of civs.

Oh yeah, 0 or 1 would be the right answer, -1 is the "don't limit it" number Glad it worked.
