Modmods Requests Thread

I don't know, I think this overlaps too much with existing VR. I'd just rather cut it.

Why don't we add "Wave Racing" building to coastal cities, if they have researched Water Sports.

Not sure what to do about airplanes though.

1. Aww ok.

2. Ok But make sure it requires a boat tech like Screw Propeller or something boat related.

3. Yeah we can leave it off unless someone comes up with a good idea for an air sport.
 
Might I suggest to put Scientist and Industrialist actions to Engineer's? Scientists sit in their labs but hire engineers to do everything. Same goes for Industrialists, they sit in their offices thinking of new ways to do things more efficiently but hire engineers to actually build it.

I was just trying to spread it out over time. But If you guys think it will be more blanced then i guess.

However what would an why would an engineer go to a Archeological Site? I was thinking Archeological Site would use like a archeologist and a Forest Preserve and Safari would require a Naturalist. How about a compromise?

All of the Scientist, Industrialist and Engineer get combined into "Engineer". While Archeological Site, Forest Preserve and Safari get merged into "Field Scientist"?

Sound fair?

I think it sounds fine.
 
Balloon Field, where hot air balloons are launched....

It's just an idea...

We could have an "Airfield" for Ballooning, Airshows, etc. You probbly should make a new Tech called "Areosports" and require Motor Sports and Flight.

Then change the Interstellar Racing to require Areosports and Orbital Flight rather than Motor Sports and Orbital Flight.

Great. I'd do just that.

Skydiving company?
 
I deliberated on two images for the Shamanism tech button, so Afforess, by all means the choice is yours

180px-Sam_Taeguk.jpg


The Samtaeguk is a reinterpretation of the Taoist concept of Yin and Yang by adding a third segment to represent man alongside Heaven and Earth. Korean shamanism is best known for assimilating early Taoist legends and practices, hence this synonymy with it and traditional beliefs. This is also why I thought this would work because of my idea that Shamanism with Writing can be an alternate tech line to Meditation (Buddhism), which obviously is a prerequisite for Philosophy (Taoism)

This was a Huichol artwork I found, couldn't really find any other simplified artwork that could represent shamanism so simply.

I like the first one better, the second one is more... eye-wrenching.

I know you want some new tech's and buildings/wonders added. It would speed up the process greatly if you could list the techs you want, the buildings they unlock, the effects they give, the obsolete techs, ... In a more coherent manner. Use my outline for the sports modmod as a template.
 
I think I have them working, but I don't have RoM 1.0 to test them on. Tell me if there are any problems. I included instructions inside.
View attachment 229748

Couldn't use the Modules folder at all with RoM1.03. Went ahead and patched RoM1.0 with the Rom1.03 patch to fix a bug and update some features.

So far have butchery working by taking the files and placing them in the \Assets\XML\Buildings folder.

Concerned about having the artdefines in this folder though.

Jungle camp hasn't shown up yet. I don't have a city with jungle around it yet...should find out soon though.

Just a report on how the module you made for me is going.

JosEPh :)
 
Hmm I think we are also missing all the winter sports like skiing, bobsledding and snowboarding. Basiclly everything that's in the winter Olympics. I am thinking it could be ...

Winter Sports Lodge (Req Extreeme Sports and Refrigeration)
* Only 40' Latitude and Above
* +1 Happiness
* +1 Healthiness
* +5% Commerce
* +5% Culture

Obsolete: Space Colonies

Also is it possible to make it only available for cities on peaks?

Good idea. I've been to winter lodges before, and they're pretty cool.
Also is it possible to make it only available for cities on peaks?

No, but I've already have exactly the same though. I'll see how hard it is to add a simple check. ;)

Of course, if the mountains mod is turned off, well, the building can never be built.
 
You request and I deliver. I now have a boolean XML tag that checks to see if the city is on a peak or not. It also says on the building if it requires to be built on a peak.

I vote we move the winter lodge to modern sports (They aren't anything special), but add a new building "Ski Resort" for extreme sports that can only be built on peaks.

1. Awesome!

2. Works for me! :D
 
Talk about peaks.

I thought up an idea about stones and peaks.

Recall we discuss about the annoying rarity of stone? What about making peaks having higher chances of having stone as a resource (sufficient percentage to make stones not so rare) and other peak resource rarer? That should make stone more closer to realistic frequent than before; plus the mountains are often the place where ancient civilizations quarried for stones.

Just remember, that stone will be useless until you get Mountaineering.

I understand.

Then how the h*** did ancient Egyptians and the people who lived nearby Stonehenge build their famous structures (pyramids and Stonehenge?)

I don't disagree. Limitation's are limitations. I will, however, increase the spawn rate on mountains.
 
I know your not taking anything new Afforess but here are some idea I have been thinking about that could possibly be made in the future.

Idea #1 - Music Mod
Basiclly do the same thing we did with Sport but go through the history of music. Such as Tribal Music, Classical Music, Folk Music, Country Music, Blues, Jazz, Rap, Rock & Roll (I think this is already there), Swing, Disco, Techno, etc. I know there is already a music tech but it would be interesting to have specific techs for music and buildings for the time. Like a Jazz Club or Underground Dance Club, etc. They would probbly have to be simplified more but you get the idea.

Idea#2 - Alien Outbreak
Basiclly once you had like Space Colony tech researched and some other high tech stuff you could build a "Exobiology Laboratory" which could give like a bunch of science and stuff. But like the nuclear reactor it would have a chance of an alien outbreak. Except rather than radiation and fallout it could produce "Alpha Centari Fungal Blooms" which would start to spread out from the city and keep expanding across the globe in a circular pattern. It would make all the tiles it infected useless. Also you would need a special clean up crew to stop the "Alien Outbreak" from taking over the planet.

Idea#3 - Beyond Trans-Human Era

Techs that not only went beyond the Trans-Human era but could nullify winning scenarios such as canceling out domination, cultural, religious, scientific and timed victories. That's to say you could win them if you got to them before their appropriate techs. Maybe even canecil out all winning conditions and make like an uber winning condition. I don't know. I just thought it might be cool to have another era beyond the Trans-Human Era.

Also is it possible bring up a new map? Because it would be really awesome if you could use like the final frontier map and then "zoom in" on other planets.

Yes and No. Yes because it's perfectly possible to turn "world view" into the final frontier map after a certain tech and whatnot. No because no one has ever attempted it and no one has enough coding experience (except maybe ffh team) to make it possible, plus it would slow the game down well over a couple hundred times since it's an old engine. Even then might as well just go play Spore.
