JUnitSpace: Limited Units on Tiles

[Jeckel]

Woohoo, it was way easyer to update to BtS v3.17 then I thought it would be. I even had some extra time, so I cleaned up the code a bit and added a few new functions, that are ofcourse exposed to python.

JUnitSpace Mod v0.693bts3.17 is being uploaded right now and will be done in about an hour (Dang Dialup!!). This is basicly the final version. I may balance the sizes and space modifiers at some point, but that is just fluf. The SDK work is all done so those that want to use it as a mod component are good to go.

I have added two PDF files. One is a Readme with a more detailed explanation of how the mod works. It still needs some work, but most of the basics are in there. I also added an API PDF file. For the moment, it just has the python exposed methods listed under their CyObject groups, but I will be putting more info in it over the next couple days. I will not be releasing a new version when I get done with the PDF files, I'll just post them seperatly in the OP of this thread for those that want the extra info.

Wow, there's just so much to sink my teeth into. I'll have to mull it all over, but thanks a lot for this!

One thing I noticed that wasn't too appealing, though, was the removal of bIgnoreTileSpaceLimit. Is there any particular reason for that? Is it redundant or something else?

 

[Jeckel]

Hope ya like it. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

The bIgnoreTileSpaceLimit tag I removed was only on the RouteInfos and was never used by the code. Its still there in the UnitInfos.

EDIT: Should have more complete Readme and API pdfs out this weekend.

 

[Balderstrom]

This looks pretty cool. The only issue I see atm, is we've got a few different DLL's competing for use: Solver's Unofficial 3.17 patch, then theres the Better BTS AI - which Solver and their team seem to be incorporating most of each others work between the two, the Better AI is more experimental than Solver's.

BTW, should update your original post, header "3.17"

 

[Jeckel]

BTW, should update your original post, header "3.17"

Thanx for the heads up on that. OP updated to show the correct BtS version.

As for the unofficial patchs (*cough* mods ) and better AI mods, I don't really play with them, but you or anyone else if more then welcome to combine my mod with them. I just work on what entertains me at the moment, and winmerging dlls is kinda boring.

 

[fahrenderfisch]

Ok, obviosly i missed something...
Is this a "stand alone" mod?
Or do I have to do some more work to actually make it playable? If so please give me a hint how or where I can find more info, so far all I found was very confusing and no help at all.

I just downloaded and unzipped it in a mod folder.
Now all standard Interface Texts are missing, the new screens actually work good. but without any interface text the game is hardly playable.
Oh, and I got BTS with patch 3.17
I don't know what to do, please can anyone help?

 

[Tripod]

I´ve downloaded the mod a few days ago-and got the same problem
Does anbody knows what the problem is?
Please help

 

[kiwitt]

I am going to have to consider this option in my Mini-Mod http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=306489

 

[kiwitt]

Ouch ... I do not think I have the skills sets to incorporate into my Mod.

 

[DasGuntLord01]

This mod looks brilliant! I know it's been dead for some time, but any chance it'll have an update to 3.19?

 

[Nefliqus]

Does it work with 3.19? I want to use it in multiplayer game. Did anybody tested it with 3.19 and pitboss?

 

[keldath]

Nefliqus its for 3.19, but the mod is good, the ai dont know how to use it.

 

[Nefliqus]

Nefliqus its for 3.19, but the mod is good, the ai dont know how to use it.

ok, thx. we don't have AI in our game, for human multiplayer game this mod could be great. I don't know why Firaxis didn't go this way in Civ5. Rule 1U per hex in civ5 destroyed all economy system in this game. CIv4 forever!

 

[keldath]

no ai in your game, well,
i geuss tat could work - i wonder how the game will be for you, id love to know.

civ5 sucks, there's only 1 good thing in it - city states.

 

[Nefliqus]

Hi,
I have problem with start this mod with BTS 3.19 on win7, civ is started in window.

I don't know if it is problem with bts version, win7, window option or other problem.

Would you like to confirm that this mod is compatible with 3.19? Did you start bts 3.19 with this mod?

thx in advance.

 

[El_Cid]

Hi Nefliqus, i'm pretty sure it is for 3.17 only. Check out the modders thread for it here:

Jeckel, is it possible to set like 9-18/24/36 limit per tile-city with minor changes in the game?

I think if we let a considerable amount of units per tile/city, instead of just few, the AI will respond better and we will have better quality wars without being necessary to change the original gameplay.

Besides that, it is necessary to do something with new units built in full cities, to have some preocupation with: transports over the sea; airplanes based in cities; ships landed; defensive units; the possibility for a tile to hold units from more than one team simultaneously.

I would like to do it for a map that I am uploading 03/12 and the next version could have something like that.

So, my question is: can I get these results from working with your files?

 

[keldath]

HI,

welcome to the forums.

u do realize that this thread is dead for 3 years right? jeckel left the forums over 4. years.. so dont expect an answer dude

sry.

 

[J AV F]

keldath, it is a shame, sorry.

 

[J AV F]

civ5 sucks, there's only 1 good thing in it - city states.

keldath, it is exactly what I think about civ5, but I like the result we get from no stacks, just because it leaves the war over the terrain and that was why I was trying to reduce the amount of units that can compose a stack.

But, the reason I am writing to you is that in the map I mentioned, I am trying to implement (slowly) something like the city states in the scenario of that map.

It will work mostly as buffer zones, firstly, as they are cities of minor civs, but I will revise that concept as well as I am able to do in the future.

Sorry and thank you, .
