[BNW] Modding world congress proposals

[fertiliser]

Something as simple as spawning a dummy building when a world congress resolution is active, and despawning if repealed. Either that, or attaching regular global bonuses to all members via some other method.

How would one go about making this?

need a custom dll like community patch and vmc and working with their gameevents.. I remember one mod doing something about it, but he said something about resolution flavor are superhardcoded beside projects so you'll have to just hope for the best when you're making a neutral resolution as possible.

it's doable but don't get too attached.

Yeah, they're really messed up. Flavours seem to be defined as straight up nonparameter integers in the DLL. Projects look modder-friendly, but unfortunately I won't be using them.

What if I wanted to add an existing modifier or ability from social policies to a resolution, though? Say, for example, replace "arts funding" with "espionage funding", and tack on StealTechFasterModifier=100. Are there any tutorials or reference material that you could point to?

If you wanted to add an existing modifier to an already-existing resolution. That's pretty easy. Let me just find a mod it won't take a day or two...

Here I think if you check the Lua within these two mods:

There should be something with a GameEvent that the resolutionpass and a lua check for if the resolutionhasbeenpassed or not so you can apply a StealTechfasterModifier and such.

This is very useful code, thanks for sharing. I'll see if I can wrap my head around pairing policies with resolutions.

Oh haha those are some old code.

In the recent CP version, you can use Game.IsResolutionPassed(iResolution, -1 or iChoice) to check if it got passed.

I can't find "IsResolutionPassed" anywhere in (1) Community Patch (v 88). Am I looking in the right place?

 

[Enginseer]

cuz it's not documented

you can see examples here

function StopBullyGold(iPlayer, iCS)
   if Game.IsResolutionPassed(iOpen, iCS) then
        return false
    end
    return true
end

function StopBullyUnit(iPlayer, iCS)
    if Game.IsResolutionPassed(iOpen, iCS) then
        return false
    end
    return true
end

GameEvents.PlayerCanBullyGold.Add(StopBullyGold)
GameEvents.PlayerCanBullyUnit.Add(StopBullyUnit)

in some of that World Congress Lua file I have there.
