[MODCOMP] mZone: Zone of Control

[Melinko]

For Colonization v1.01

This SDK ModComp is actually four parts, Units, Professions, Promotions, and Improvements.

Units allow the unit to have Zone of Control despite any promotion. But if Professions are turned on it will still default to it.

Professions are to allow Zone of Control. Despite any other condition that may give it to a unit, if the profession they are does not allow for it that will not have it.

Promotions are for units that would not normally have zone of control to get it. If they are not the correct profession then they will will lose their zone of control until they they change to the correct one.

Improvements will let the improvement give the zone of control to the owner of that improvement. The owner is set when it is built, or when someone at war with the current owner moves into that square. Of course ownership is lost to all when the improvement is pillaged.

How Zone of Control works is if you are next to a unit/improvement with Zone of Control, and at war, you can not move into that same units/improvement Zone of control, or another of that teams units zone of control.

The Civopedia has entries for all the things with Zone of Control, as well as the pop-up text so the ones with it should be noticeable. I should note that although I tested it some this is still a beta, and if there are any issues let me know.

Looks cool. Will you add option how Zone-of-control will work?

Like a: if you move inside zone-of-control the enemy will attack if the win chance is larger than 50%.

Maybe.. Right now I was tring to make it not buggy and modable for others to just check zone of control and use it to do whatever code they want. I will have to expose hasZoneofControl to python, and hopefully with that it will be easier to acomplish the different results from Zoc

I can't seem to get this to work: If MZONE_ZONE_OF_CONTROL_ENABLED is set to 1 the game crashes as soon as I try to move every time. Don't suppose anyone else has a similiar problem or fix for this?

Have you tried running the game in Debug mode? You can find info about how to set this help here http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=8835079&postcount=151.

You can pin point reasons for crashes using debug.
