[MOD] GreatPersonMod with RenamerMod

Duncan_Idaho, You may use version 1.1 of this mod. It works fine, and also looks really tempting ;)
 
I got this mod to work with greenmod 2.10 with a whole lot of others added in to it.

I have included my CvCustomEventManager To show this mod included with the other mods.

To get this to work with any other mods do this short list:

1: Just copy the great people art directory to your mod
2: copy the greatperson screen to the screens directory under python
3: other mods already have cvEvent interface in their mod , so don't use the one from greatpersonmod ... if you are copying to custom assests.. copy the one from the CIV4 MAIN VANILLA files.
4: if you have a copy of Civ4GameTextInfos_GreatPeople.xml in your mod that in any way or form changes the names of the GP delete it or move it out of as the great people mod will NOT work ( see below why).


If your CIV4GameTextInfos_GreatPeople.xml file is changed in any way the great people mod won't work as the mod takes the name of the great person and looks for a FILENAME of the same name in the art\Greatpeople directory according to the code i rad in the greatpersonscreen.py file included with the mod.

A Quick edit: I wonder if the other languages would work as the names in other languages aren't the same as the filenames either?

maybe an update to the greatpersonscreen.py file to only take the english names before it looks for the filename?

I too get the CvEventInterface.py file failed to load problem. Can't seem to find a solution yet.. Anyway, looks like an awasome mod though can't wait to get it worken.


Actually CvEventinterface is not the peoblem when yo get this error.

what this error means is the cvCustomeEventManager has an error in it.
How is this possible? The Game calls CvEventinterface.py which in turn calls CvCustomeEventManager.py which everyone is using to add their mods to the game. There is usually an indentation or syntax error in the python code in the cvCustomEventManager.py which sends and error back to the Game and since the game only called the CvEventInterface it reports the error with the this file to you.

Will this mod work if one adds more Great Person types - or alters those which already exist? See the end of my sig to see why I ask :mischief:


It Should Work. All you have to do is make sure the filenames agree with the names in the greatpeople.xml file.

Indeed it does. My bad, really :blush:

When I changed cvGreatPeopleEventManager to cvCustomEventManager I started from a different cvCustomEventManager and forgot to remove some stuff, more precisely the researchprogress stuff.

The enclosed fix is to be unzipped to the Assets\Python or CustomAssets\Python directory of GreatPersonMod v1.5 (keeping folders). It has an updated cvCustomEventManager and an updated CvEventInterface - the CvEventInterface from the first post may work, but this one is cleaner (no comments removed).

Try this. It works for me. And my deepest apologies to you gentlemen and -women. :crazyeye:

Oh, and I took the opportunity to clean out the __init__ code in cvCustomEventManager used by this mod. It really isn't needed.

Just a quick note: the file "Issac Newton.dds" should be "Isaac Newton.dds".
 
Reading through this thread, I'm a bit confused what to download, if this is working, or if I have to download multiple things to patch it.

I think this is a great Mod, because I felt that getting a great person should be heralded a bit more. The splash screen is a great idea (and much better than the lame holy temple splashes.)

Can someone help me out here an direct me to the correct installation of this? Also, maybe this should be moved to Graphics or Modcomponents, since it isn't a modpack in of itself...Might get more attention.

Thanks.

To get the latest version, you need v1.5 from the first post. Do not download CvEventInterface from the first post. Instead, get my fix from this post which has install directions for the fix. Finally, note this error report which you can ignore if you like - it probably just disables the Isaac Newton popup if you let it be.

Oh, and you can install the whole ting in a separate mod directory (as it's set up to be) or in CustomAssets, in which case you need to make sure that it merges with whatever else you have there - that is you need to check if you already have a CvCustomEventManager.py and merge them if you do.
 
Hi Guys,

Sorry I have not been talking I was away on a trip... Much Thanks to RobO for his fix and everyone else who helped with suggestions...I will place it in a very prominent place on the first post so Everyone knows what to download.
And everyone, thanks for the feedback...I am grateful that you find this mod decent enough to actually care about fixing it.

Sincerely,
Patricius

P.S. It might be one or two day before I get the update up since My Computer bascially died and I had to restore everything and get my files to this computer. I will fix Isaac Newton and others problems also.
 
Thanx guys:) It is fixed now, I've been playing only this mod ever since you posted the fix.:)
NeverMind, thank you too, 1.1 did work as well:)
 
Hi Patricuis,
Nice to see your post for long time...
I like this mod so much, that I would like to make version with all quoation translated in all non-english languages in Civ4. ( with aid of babel fish and native-speakers, of course.. :) )
Would you post or send me the original picture file without quotation and the quotation text table, please? Your help will be greatly appreciated.
If you prefer e-mail, my addrl is simcutie at hanmail dot net.
TIA,
 
Hi Simcutie,
I will post the files you request as soon as I can. I had to take my computer to a specialist to be fixed and the files are on that computer. I anticipate that I should have the computer back in a couple of days, and I will upload them to a site I will e-mail you. Thanks for offering to do this, since I have no experience with translating and I want people to enjoy this in the home languange.
Sincerely,
Patricius
 
SimCutie, the pics are here at:
http://files.filefront.com/Great_People_PNGzip/;4646697;;/fileinfo.html

Also, I am going to post the final version of the Great Person Mod on a new thread so it is all cleaned up and easy to find.

Patricius


EDIT: Let's keep it in one thread instead. As long as the download info is in the first post, it shouldn't be hard to find. :) --TF
 
When the Al-Kwarizmi great person comes up all I get is a pink screen ??
I understanding even a spelling miscue etc. can cause this but I'm not sure where to correct it ??
:confused:
 
Hey Guys, if you use the Great General Amped mod and this mod, good news: Rabbit, White has created a little add-on to give graphics for the Great Generals. The link is Here

Also, Please post on what you think of the mod or any suggestions you have...we are getting tons of downloads, but few feedback.:king:

This mod doenst work in another language than english.
This is because the names are translated in each language, but not your image files.
Unless there is a way to always get the english name of the cvUnit it will be a bit annoying to fix, a lookup table maybe ?

Patricius, it works perfectly for me :goodjob: and so far I don't think you should change anything (well, that is for the English version). Oh, and it is really beautiful and adds a lot of flavor to the game. :)

One minor thing, though. I can't combine your mod and the "simple great person" mod which adds the type of great person to that person's name if this person is borne in "a far away land" (you know the information given on the left in the beginning of each turn). Is there any possibility to merge both of these mods?
