Modder's Guide to A New Dawn

Okay, here's what I found for the bug above:

The code I received from Vokarya is no longer working but breaks Revolution entirely (CTRL-SHIFT-X doesn't work, Rev index doesn't even appear in city screen).
If I comment out th3 first lines

Code:

#      if( pPlayer.getCapitalCity().isNone()):
#        city.setRevolutionIndex( int(.35*RevOpt.getInstigateRevolutionThreshold()) )
#      else :
        if( not city.area().getID() == pPlayer.getCapitalCity().area().getID() ) :
            city.setRevolutionIndex( int(.35*RevOpt.getInstigateRevolutionThreshold()) )
        else :
            city.setRevolutionIndex( int(.25*RevOpt.getInstigateRevolutionThreshold()) )
        city.setRevIndexAverage(city.getRevolutionIndex())

than the game works fine... until settling the first cities

I also tried this code:

Code:

        capital = pPlayer.getCapitalCity()
        if( capital == None or capital.isNone() ) :
         city.setRevolutionIndex( int(.35*RevOpt.getInstigateRevolutionThreshold()) )
              else :
        if( not city.area().getID() == pPlayer.getCapitalCity().area().getID() ) :
            city.setRevolutionIndex( int(.35*RevOpt.getInstigateRevolutionThreshold()) )
        else :
            city.setRevolutionIndex( int(.25*RevOpt.getInstigateRevolutionThreshold()) )
        city.setRevIndexAverage(city.getRevolutionIndex())

But that didn't work either

Any ideas? Hints?

I'm testing with the regular 50civs dll if that matters.

 

Line 274 is this:

 

One thing you could try is changing the rootDir in CvAltRoot.py so that it points at your modmod folder. That might be worth a try.

 

I think I tried that already but didn't work (but maybe I'l check again later),

I finally solved it by out taging the first lines:

Code:

#      if( pPlayer.getCapitalCity().isNone()):
#        city.setRevolutionIndex( int(.35*RevOpt.getInstigateRevolutionThreshold()) )
#      else :
#        if( not city.area().getID() == pPlayer.getCapitalCity().area().getID() ) :
#            city.setRevolutionIndex( int(.35*RevOpt.getInstigateRevolutionThreshold()) )
#        else :
            city.setRevolutionIndex( int(.25*RevOpt.getInstigateRevolutionThreshold()) )
        city.setRevIndexAverage(city.getRevolutionIndex())

Altough I am not entirely sure what I did but as far as I understand it will do the same thing regardless of the circumstances of city founding. Just don't know what it effects.

 

The commented-out lines set the starting revolution index of a new city to a different number if the player doesn't have a capital or the capital is on another continent. That's all it does. Since you're trying to work without a capital, that's why commenting out those lines works.

 

So it sets a number only once per city, right? I'm okay with this solution than.
Thank you.

 

Question about maintenance modifiers in CIV4CivicInfos:
We have:
<iDistanceMaintenanceModifier>, <iNumCitiesMaintenanceModifier>, <iHomeAreaMaintenanceModifier> and <iOtherAreaMaintenanceModifier>.

In case of all cities being on the same continent:

Is iHomeAreaMaintenanceModifier = ( iDistanceMaintenanceModifier + iNumCitiesMaintenanceModifier ) ?

So is a <iHomeAreaMaintenanceModifier>-50</iHomeAreaMaintenanceModifier> same as

<iDistanceMaintenanceModifier>-50</iDistanceMaintenanceModifier> combined with
<iNumCitiesMaintenanceModifier>-50</iNumCitiesMaintenanceModifier> ?

I have found this modcomp: Maintenance Modifiers Mod
I guess that's what we are using and the rules described there are correct, right?

 

Hi guys, I would like to add limited combat rounds from Vincentz's mod to my games with AND, but I'm unable to find the source files, so I could mod and compile the cvgamecore.dll file..

Is there any way I could download them?

Thanks!

 

All the source files should be here: http://svn.code.sf.net/p/anewdawn/code/Trunk/Sources/.

http://svn.code.sf.net/p/anewdawn/code/ has everything, including some of the older versions of AND.

 

No Random Events option:
IIRC I read that it is possible to make an event always launch, even when No Random Events are ON.
Is that true? How can it be done?

 

It can be done with Python. You need to set up a script that mimics the trigger condition of the event and then tells the event to go off anyway.

This is how the Penicillin event (free Medic 1 promotion for certain units) can fire in a No Events game.

Code:

def onProjectBuilt( argsList):
# Penicillin fix for No Events option
    pCity, iProjectType = argsList
    game = gc.getGame()
    if iProjectType == gc.getInfoTypeForString( 'PROJECT_PENICILLIN' ) and gc.getGame().isOption(GameOptionTypes.GAMEOPTION_NO_EVENTS):
        iPlayer = pCity.getOwner()
        pPlayer = gc.getPlayer(iPlayer)
        pPlayer.trigger(gc.getInfoTypeForString('EVENTTRIGGER_PENICILLIN2'))

 

Where is the image size defined? In the dll or in some python file? Just in case I'd like to use bigger pictures, like 800x600. Is that possible?

 

I looked and I could not find where this is set. You could try a larger or smaller image and see what happens.

 

Okay, good idea. Thanks for checking

 

You could also ask Toffer90 at C2C or thru a PM about this. He has a pretty good handle on these graphical type questions.

 

Thx! Maybe I'll try that.

I tried a 720x322 size and it seemed like inserting the middle of it (around 322x322) and simply cutting the edges.
