How to make teammates' tech independent?

[civ5ssh]

Hello, I am a newbie of Civ5Mod.

In current game, players in a same team will share the research of technology. It means different civilization has to choose the same route of research. I want to make each player can research his own technology. Is it possible to do that by Civ5SDK? How can I make the Mod to enable this feature? Which files or functions need to be modified?

Thanks.

Not possible without a custom DLL (think executing C++ level software file) so far as I am aware. Even with a custom re-write of the DLL I am not sure it would be very easy to implement since it is hardcoded to such a degree within the various systems of the game.

In order to create an alternative DLL file you have to get the DLL sourcecode via the SDK, figure out how to make the changes to the sourcecode, generate a DLL file for the alterations, and use an actual mod to implement the altered version of the DLL. It cannot be done by attempting to open and edit the game's DLL files directly.

Are you talking about a hotseat game? If yes, each teammate should be able to pick a different technology. If all temamates pick the same technology, it decrease the time to research it.

Hmmm... guess I'm wrong then.

Tho I do know that Teams rather than players own technologies, and all the lua methods for manipulating which techs a "player" has or how much research progress they have toward a given technology are Team methods instead of player methods.
