Need Creator for simple MOD

[MAGBaxter]

If i could MOD believe me i would but i just dnt understand how to make MODS but i love to play Civ 5 so this MOD i have in mind i would assume is very simple but helps people like me play Civ 5.

I was thinking of a MOD that simply changes the Dates.

Lets say the year is 2000BC and its the Ancient Era, with this MOD active the year will remain 2000BC until you enter the Classical Era and then the year changes to 0AD, then once you complete the classical Era, you enter the Medieval Era and the year changes to 1066AD, then once thats done you enter the renaissance Era and the year is 1500AD, then its 1911 then its 2011.

I really hope someone will make this for me as i hate being in the Medieval Era and the year is 1850AD

(I havn't actually played a full game yet and i have had this game since january... mainly because i have only just finished a Earth map that i enjoy because i cant play on any other map because im an idiot).

This is for Civ 5

Anybody willing to make it ? i would love to experience every period of bistory in this game but i think this is the only concievable way of doing so, im not a competetive player, i play for fun and because i love history, i never get a lot of responses in this forum.

you cant do that as you don't know the length of every era.
it can be 20 turns or 50 turns depending on the speed of researching techs by players
so you dont know how many years to add on each other turn

 

[MAGBaxter]

i dont understand where your coming from, when the player completes all the techs for that era, you will enter the next and the year will change, so new era new year, you could be storming through the eras and the year will change. you shouldnt add any years on, if its 300BC, and you just finished the last classical era tech, then you enter the Medieval Era and the year changes to 1066BC, so you dont have to add years on to reach 1066 it will remain the same until you finish that era. but the AI can continue on as normal.

Im sure this MOD is small so if their is ANYONE who would offer to make this MOD,
if you are willing to help i will type up the dates for each era, if so this will be awesome !

As he told you, you can't do that. The game just doesn't work that way, period. Turn numbers are inherently tied to year numbers; while you can change the rate at which they advance, you can't have the clock stop until a specific trigger. So no, it's not a simple little mod.

And in general, asking other people to do the work for you is unlikely to succeed. People who CAN program have their own mods that they're working on; ideas are plentiful, competent modders are not. So you're better off learning how to mod for yourself, and asking questions when you get stuck.

And finally, these subforums are for finished mods, with files, NOT requests. There's a request thread at the top of some forums, or you can ask in the general C&C forum.)

there are none like this AFAIK.

what you want is remove the date and just show the current turn and era ?

that could be done in a mod that will replace the date display (at least 2 files to edit), but it could lead to incompatibilities with some other mods. And then you need to define when the era is changed : for the first civ to reach it, the player's civ, all civs, half civs, CS ?

im starting to understand what your saying, its harder than i thought...
