New to mods

[gamer9865]

Hi!

I was wondering if there is any useful tutorial (I couldn't find any) for Civ IV mods. All I want to do is add some custom "alerts" such as:
- you are about to complete building unit/building in X turns
- your city is about to grow in X turns
- your city has grown

Thanks.

Already saw that.

It may help but it isn't really a tutorial.
Were did that person find out all the possible options (alerts) and such, for example? Is there a place where they are documented?

I don't know if there will be a tutorial specific to your needs.

Try any of the general python tuts (if you haven't already),

My idea in posting the link was to use it as a guide, duplicate the code and change it to what you want. It does one of the things on your list, and also reports growth pending next turn.

My guess is they figured it out by looking at the code. They may have used the Python API, find it here.

PM the person who wrote it and ask. They may be willing to give you advice.
