Is there a mod that shows turns left for trade?

[JedBonnaducci]

I've looked, but haven't found one and thought maybe I was missing it.

Seems like it would have been one of the first ones out. It's a glaring oversight in the game itself.

Thanks!

Edit: I guess the topic wasn't worded correctly. Not trade routes, but trade deals.

In the game, under the reports, it shows to whom you're trading, 30 (for number of turns) and the GPT in the deal portion (the first screen all the way at the bottom).

For example, if I trade Silver for 10 GPT, I would like to know how long is left on that deal. Currently, it just shows the trade deal length which is always static and 30 by default.

So, just changing that "30" to a countdown would be perfect.

Turns left for trade are shown on the trade route pop-up

Can you elaborate on this more? Because I have been looking for this myself

I initially thought that was it too, but the tooltip is a lie. Here is the code from vanilla TradeOverview.lua, that sets the number.

-- Update distance to city
    local distanceToDestination:number = Map.GetPlotDistance(originCity:GetX(), originCity:GetY(), destinationCity:GetX(), destinationCity:GetY());
    routeInstance.RouteDistance:SetText(distanceToDestination);

This just calculates the distance from origin city to destination city, which is definitely not the amount of turns it takes to complete the route. The real amount of turns is something rather more complicated, that I have been testing to figure out.

Sorry, my missunderstanding.
Funny, there is in traderoutechooser.lua :
-- Update turns to complete route
but no code for it.

Also, there is a setting: TRADE_ROUTE_TURN_DURATION_BASE in GlobalParameters.xml, but the actual calculations must be in the dll

Edit: I saw this post elsewhere:

I was actually wrong. They last at least 20 turns on default speeds, but wont end until they return to their home city. So the duration of the route does matter, depending on where they are when the 20 turns is up routes could last a lot longer.

I think we might be looking for access to the same type of info (you're looking for turns left for trade deals, I'm looking for resources being traded in those trade deals) so I'll keep an eye out and let you know if I get any info in my topic.

I know if you mouseover the gold icon on the UI it will show you where the gold is coming from, and how many turns are left. Doesn't show for what though...

so for example if I trade silk to cleopatra for 10 GPT for 30 turns, after 2 turns if i mouse over the gold icon, I will see that I have 10 GPT coming from Cleopatra for 28 more turns.

Its not exactly what you were asking for but the info is there in the default UI.

I definitely find the default ui lacking in the trade dept, a summary of all current deals with time left would be nice.

Thank you. I'll check it out.
