[MA] SDK and Python

[platyping]

So... why not just use simple XML and add them as upgrades for that unit

 

[dacubz145]

Because its not an upgrade.

Spitfire has a variant called the Seafire which was a carrier based variant. So basically you can built the Spitfire and then create it into the Seafire. IF it upgrades to the Seafire, then the spitfire wont be able to be built

Just use canTrain callback and allow obsolete units to be trainable.

To me, AI is more important than performance.
First of all, python is not as taxing as you made it sound to be.
Secondly, look at CiV.
It performs well, nice graphics, not laggy etc.
But it is crap because the AI is total crap.
So you rather have a mod where the AI is crap but performance wise is good, or you rather have a mod where AI is still good but just one or two additional python codes?

As I say: Lemon Merchant will help with the ai

Hmm recent experiments suggest that your historical cities doesn't work due to a strange bug (and some typos) anyway, I will send you a new one over with mistakes ammended (though the way it is imported into the CvGameUtils is a little different now)

on a happier note I have finished your ship recycling code (provided that you still have that method in the DLL) and can ship over the files (and code for the CvGameUtils) later on today! what you need though is a button. I have created the XML for one but you need to put in the Art, at the moment it shows up as being the MakeGroup button for standard units. You also need to add text to the XML for it aswell!

 

[dacubz145]

Well the historical cities is sadly lower on the list of things I got to do right now so no worries

But thats for the recycling, i can definatly handle the xml

Bored, you need me to fix the Great General python codes for you since the original author seems to be missing in action

 

[j_mie6]

hmmm, what great general codes?

 

[dacubz145]

Wondering the same thing

 

[platyping]

Your GG codes which allow a GG to be transferred to another unit when it died.
I don't think the author fixed the logic errors I pointed out and I doubt you did either

 

[dacubz145]

Im probably going to take taht out since the message saying it dies and then it doesnt makes the mod seem a bit "unprofessional" for lack of a better word. If jamie knows how to remove that line then i will keep it int and probably a 60% chance it survives would be more realistic

 

[platyping]

Already removed it for my own Tomb of Cyrus Wonder lol

 

[j_mie6]

Don't you have to remove messages via SDK or edit the message to say something else I guess?

On further note: I got an A* in my programming module in engineering, woo

 

[platyping]

1 simple python code will do.
I got A+ in C Programming as well

 

[j_mie6]

Wooo

whats this code then?

 

[platyping]

Remove the leader if I remember. Maintenance over, cant be bothered to check, back to play my game lol

 

[dacubz145]

remove the leader

 

[platyping]

When the GG unit died, remove the leader(GG) from it, so it becomes a normal unit.
Thus, since there is no GG, you don't get a GG died msg.
Refer to Tomb of Cyrus, lazy to type lol

 

[dacubz145]

ohh i get it, next time say remove GG since i thought you meant the civs LH

 

[j_mie6]

actually that would also be a solution. If you remove the civ's leaderhead then the player will be so distracted figuring out why that he won't notice the message Then the next time a general dies add the leader back on and they will still be clueless
