[Extension] Jarcast's Hidden Wonders for VP

[jarcast2]

Update online.

Changelog:
- fixed wondersplash text bug for base wonders;
- fixed Horyu-ji triggering culture when capturing enemy missionary, now it activates only on purchase;
- Shaolin Temple now uses Building_DomainFreeExperiencesGlobal;
- added 5 turns cooldown to Capitoline Museums archeologists.

NOTE: tested on VP 4.22. I will wait for a stable 5 version before updating my mods to it.

Hi, i noticed some Wonders have zero requirements, I checked the code and indeed they copy the condition of n policies unlocked from wonders requiring completed tree (Alhambra, Forbidden Palace, Louvre and Broadway).

This mods adds wonders only, doesn't make edits on existing wonders.

They also highlight hidden antiquity sites even when Artistry isn't unlocked. Neither of these features are mentioned in its description.

They can highlight it but without Artistry finisher they cannot excavate it so it's a non-issue.

This mods adds wonders only, doesn't make edits on existing wonders.

You misunderstood me, this mod add Wonders requiring no policies because they copy the NumPoliciesNeeded value of the 4 mentioned Wonders which explicitly don't have this requirement set but a PolicyType instead.
ex: Nipisat has both terrain and a number of policies requirements when Keldur Hall only has terrain restriction.

Update online.

Fixed NumPoliciesNeeded for those wonders that had it 0.

It also replaces the wonder name from the line above the help text with a generic "WONDERS NAME".

In WonderPopup.lua uncomment the 3 lines strarting with "Controls.LowerTitle" (l 62, 64 and 67).

That works, but shouldn't be necessary in the first place due to the changes made in WonderPopup.xml. The real issue is that the xml file isn't loading properly- although I note that More Wonders' version does.

 

[jarcast2]

I am not understanding what problems you are having as the pop up files are set to load the same way they do in More Wonders and the last update solved the issue of messed up wonder splash images.
In my testing (with and without More Wonders) everything works fine.

It seems you're right- I checked again and the issue looks to be fixed. Sorry about the false alarm.

How can I disable a few of these wonders? Tried commenting them out in General Defines configuration with -- at the beginning but that made the mod stop working altogether. Got it working again but still want to disable a few of the wonders.

You have to comment out also the relevant lines in WWonders_Defines.sql file.

I tried commenting them out with a multiline comment like in the attached screenshot and it's still not working. Is this the wrong way to do it? I'm not familiar with SQL so apologies for the trouble. The wonders I want to remove are St Catherine's Monastery, Horyu-Ji, Hospital of St. John, Tlachihualtepetl, Church of the Nativity, Larabanga Mosque, Keshgarh Qila
