MrAzure's To Do List

[Faustmouse]

Mr Azure:
Here is the Programm my brother coded, I hope it's not too messy.

Also according to Brittanica, Shamanism is classified as a religion so we would probably need to change the name.

Like I said, Shamanism tech use to be a normal tech but then was made a religious tech since its a type of religion. In its place was put Animism tech which holds all the buildings that use to be under Shamanism tech. For instance we use to have a Shaman's Hut, but we renamed it Sage's Hut when it got moved to Animism. Thus if you have stuff you think that would go well under historical shamanism then Animaism tech is the tech you want to put it at.

Mr Azure:
Here is the Programm my brother coded, I hope it's not too messy.

Thanks, this will help quite a bit, I can boot it with my USB drive. my first priority right now is to fix the Cultural Ranks, but that shouldn't take too long. I guess it opens with FORTRAN 95.

Download this to open it in Windows
http://www.silverfrost.com/11/ftn95/overview.aspx

edit:Your brother can convert it to .exe with Silverfrost FTN95: Fortran for Windows FREE. Link Above. It only takes 1 or 2 clicks.

Edit2
I made you some dummyfiles to use with GrepWin.

XXX1-XXX30.

Example:
Use Grepwin to Find XXX1 and rename it to DOG_HOUSE.
Find XXX2 and rename it to COW_DANCE.

When you are done just trim the bottom of your files. If you did 20 buildings, delete everything under XXX21.

Now you don't have to type over and over the same things. You still have to edit art files, building info stats, and gametext.

When you are done, unzip the .zip again to do the next set.

Are you going to make more Prehistoric buildings, I would love some please. I saw in your Bird of War thread that we are going to add Bird Units. Perhaps we could add more unlockable buildings classes by Subdued Animals. Give "Song of the Earth" another rank like "Shrine of the Earth".

 

[Faustmouse]

Thanks for the Dummy!
On the weekend I hopefully have enough time to modify the programm so it will take all Building names and generates BuildingClassInfos, ArtInfos and TextInfos almost completely. It should just write down the dummy but automatically transfert the given name to a tag. For example "Dog House" will be "DOG_HOUSE" at the appropiated spots. So if it works as intendet (and it should do, since it's quite easy programming), you don't have to edit BuildingClassInfos and ArtInfos at all and for BuildingText you "only" need to modify Strategy and add a Pedia text.

I have to admit, I am having trouble difficulty using your program so you can you PM a readme or some basic instructions.

 

[Faustmouse]

Uhm, it's been a long time since I saw it...
It should require an imput file. This file looks more or less then Hydros Building suggestions with:

Name: Blabla
Cost: 1000
...
+5
+1

The required Techs, resources and buildings needed a number before them IIRC. For example:
Resources: 3 Wool AND Dogs OR Cats
Technologies: 2 Animal Husbandry AND Iron Working

The tags we used were probably different. I will have a look at it again with my brother on Saturday. It's probably best if you put it aside until then.

 

[JamesBC]

Do you need me to code, I know Civ4 XML well. When Warlords came out I made a personal mod where I added a few buidings, units , techs, and civilizations from the download section and customized the code. It was a small mod, about 20 of each, but I lost it when my hard drive failed. I hope help you and can use your dummy files. I have some ideas too we can add, if you approve of them.

Also don't get mad when Hydro disapproves, as long as you get more approved then disapproved, its all good right?

Yeah if you want, currently I'm helping Faustmouse and going to help Sargon with Great Works. Well it's just one out of 50 or so projects it's not that great of a loss to lose 5 techs, I have a word document called the Forbidden list that I've been keeping track of and have a module folder that I keep the stuff I already done in it. It's just a chart, I am going to end up tripling the number of buildingz in the Ancient Era with what I have planned.. Especially filling up the empty ones. Sargon is gonna get busy too lol! There will always be disagreements but most of the time it's approved with some state change. You know the funny thing is some days I'm happy doing xml and other days I hate it. It's one of those things with me, either I am excellent at coming up with stuff or very bad but never stable.

 

[Hydromancerx]

@MrAzure

I feel similar with you. A lot of the time I feel like your just giving me "sand" and I have to sift through it all to get to the "gems". Other days I feel like I can make "sand castles" out of your sand or even "glassware" on a good day. I hate to waste sand since most of my stuff are "sand castles" too. And don't want to be viewed as a hypocrite.

Note sand is worth +1 ....

 

[Azurian]

Because you like to make decisions in 5 minutes and don't think outside the box, Code your own stuff I'm not doing it.

Well you don't have to be rude about.

EDIT: I assigned the Entomology Lab, Herpetology Lab, Ornithology Lab, Outhouse, Garderobe, Public Restrooms and Sanitation Chamber to Faustmouse so you don't have to worry about doing those anymore.

Catalhuyuk should definitely be there if it isn't already. Town Registrar and Chronicler should be combined.

Where do you get the term 'grace wife' from? What does it represent? And how can Childcare Hut get replaced twice?

Yeah they can be combined.

Grace Wife can also be called Mid Wife.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midwifery

The Childbirth Hut upgrades to Grace Wife.

The difference is that with Grace Wife:
+ religious prayer because Mysticism is known
+ profession of an older lady who delivers babies in the town.
+ old lady teachers the mother how to raise child
+less mothers die during childbirth because naturopathy is known
+less chance of baby dying because sewing is known
+access to animal milk with Animal Husbandry
+sedentry lifestyle changed childbirth practices

Another term is Accoucher .

 

[Hydromancerx]

@MrAzure

Why + 5% War Weariness on the breads?

Also the + 1 seems a bit over powered. Instead have +1 to profit off the new type of bread.

Requires Granary

Do they ever go obsolete? If not then it should be "Requires Granary OR Modern Granary".

EDIT: These would be good buildings to give + Luxury Property.

Requires Wheat in City Vicinity

What about Barely or even Corn or Potato?

 

[Azurian]

Why + 5% War Weariness on the breads?

Because people would get somewhat upset that most of the bread would be rationed in times of war to the military, and civilians would get reduced access to bread. Especially the woman who had to bake more bread, but had to give less bread to their kids.

Yeah so 'midwife' is the word in English. Googling 'grace wife' comes up with nothing. Did you make it up?

All of those things should be additional bonuses on the Healers' Hut that come at those techs or with those resources. And sorry but it replacing the Childcare Hut is just plain wrong. There is no need for a Childcare Hut in the healing line. If you have one it is or should be in the education line.

Btw there are religions that had a role in healing before Mysticism...(eg. "witch-doctor"/"medicine man" = shaman)

@MrAzure

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midwifery

1. Yeah please call it like "Midwife's Quarters" or something since I was confused on what a Grace Wife was.

Town Registrar and Chronicler should be combined.

2. I agree. "Chronicler's Shop" is good. I think.

Town Messenger

3. We have a national Currier system. Hows this compare or related to that? Should this be a requirement for the National Wonder?

Nanny Hut

4. I think that should be combined with the "Midwife's Quarters".

Catalhuyuk

5. Approved

Abu Hureya II

6. Approved
