Civ 4 Adavnce Wars Faq​

1. Will You Be Dedicated To This Mod
Yes I Will i have way to much free time on my hands and its time i gave somthing back to the civ 4 comminty that has givin me so much (kinda gonna cry now )

2. When Will The Mod Be Releasd
As Every Modder i know form Cnc Source, Revora Would Say Is
When Its Done (or i feel there needs to be a realse

3.How Will The Stuff From Advance Wars Work
Well I Hope Most Of It Is Possible

3a.As For The Battle Scenes I Hope To Use The Normal Battle Animations To Fit The Battle Scenes From The GameBoy Advance Game

3b. As For the Ranged Units Like Artiily And Battleships i hope to use the airplane logic to achive this

3c. I Hope To Get The Ai Working Though the sdk kit as it describes in the Insrtuction book. if not hopfully i can gets some modders to help me with this slight little proplem

3d. How will the tetures be done
well if i want this to recreate advance wars i will have to do 8 bit textures YES 8 BIT TEXTURES
plus this will be much easier for me 2 casue i cant draw to save my life

4. Are You New to Modding Civ4
Unfortanly yes but i will be 100% Dedicated to this project

5. Will Civ Advance Wars Have a website

As Long as it dosent cost me anything then yes
ill have to ask some Cfc staff about this

or Hopfully I Can Get Hosted at revora well comminty i know and i know alot of the staff there which will get me a website and some fourms

if that fails i got a good buddy ive known will hopfully be kind enough to give me some

6. I Have another question about this mod but its not covered in this faq
Just Contact me on msn itiskarl@hotmail.co.uk or On Xfire as avitorwolf
if you dont know xfire is a fantastic tool reccomended if play alot of games and what to talk to people while your civing without having to alt tab

and thats it for now

 

[Olleus]

why?
I see civ as an improvement of advance wars.

Still, if you want to go ahead your main problem will be
1)ranged units
2) the AI

everything else should be rather straight forward.

 

[Karl Townsend]

well im compltely new to modding but i have tried some sage coding and i think xml is pretty much stright forward

for the ranged unti you can use them like airplanes
and the ai im gonna get someone to help me with that

 

[dalek master]

I wish you luck Karl. and Olleus stop being mean to everyone. I think an advnace wars conversion would be great, if you put in the way it deals with characters and mission objectives......it woyuld be a good war-version of civ, but difficult from where Im standing....but you are probably far better than me at it. .

 

[Karl Townsend]

think ill start the models then coding then some nice art work

 

[Olleus]

for the ranged unti you can use them like airplanes
and the ai im gonna get someone to help me with that

Doesn't work. Airplanes can only be based in cities.

 

[dalek master]

lol. are you going to do the cut-scenes . what about the CO powers?

 

[erikg88]

Doesn't work. Airplanes can only be based in cities.

I dunno about that - in FFH, the Ranger's eagle moves with the ranger.

 

[Karl Townsend]

lol. are you going to do the cut-scenes . what about the CO powers?

well depending that the cut scenes are possible i soppse i could do the battle animation to be like the battle cut scenes

as for the co powers i soppse
i could intergrate them into the leader traits

 

[Olleus]

For CO you could use the great people system. Someone is making a mod where all the GPP are pooled for the entire civ. Use python to generate extra GPP when a unit is killed, and then modify the GP missions to represent the CO powers.

 

[Karl Townsend]

nice idea olleus

thank you very much

 

[Olleus]

Ideas are easy to come by. Code which makes them work is a little rarer

 

[Karl Townsend]

ill start the moddling as soon as my moddb (temp website) is checked and up and running
