Next War question

[Complex]

Hi there, long time reader of these boards, first time poster.....anyways, I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't seem to find a relevant thread. Just wondering if there is a way to mod NextWar to remove the "earth cracking like an egg" event when you use too many nukes?

Any info would be appreciated or just a link to relevant thread...


Thanks.

first of all, welcome to the forums!


no, i can't help you; but you'll have to edit XML files to get that (use the notepad)

anyone that really knows how to edit XML will tell you what to do, but i can't help you... sorry

Notepad is inferior! It cannot hold much!

Wordpad is the winner here!

Many Next War problems can be fixed with this mod and I think it also disables the mentioned event.
If I understood it right, this mod can only be used if you want to have Next War in your epic game. If you want to play the scenario, you will have to find a different solution.

Wordpad is okay...but Textpad is better.

Wordpad is the best bet.

I've done this.. sort of (modded it to be at 20000 and 7000 nukes that the event +warning are triggered)

go to the folder
Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Next War\Assets\Python

open the file CvEventManager with a text file like Notepad

It should look like this

class CvEventManager:

change the #s 7 and 20 to larger numbers (I made them 7000 and 20000)
and then you have the modded file

(to get it working I saved that file to desktop and then copied it into the folder replacing the previous file)
