Platyping's Python

[platyping]

ah I see lol, squish it first and then let the game bring it back to original size
Should be mathematics, not physics

Already done modules, now doing movies.
Anything else to add on?
Thanks for making the 20+ movies, but good to learn some new functions so let me explore abit first lol

@the J, thanks gonna take that as a compliment, since honustly i just think you are jealous Do not worry though, since i know you really are, the world's largest fork will be coming out soon

I chose DDS DXT 3 since nobody says which is good, so just choose the middle lol
No idea what they mean anyway...

DXT1 has no Alpha, DXT3 has an Alpha. Else I'm totally unaware of anything important, besides that Civ doesn't like some of the other formats.

 

[platyping]

Done, convert to bik actually solves all problems lol
In fact, size is smaller than dds... 720x480 static video, 61kb
http://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm

This is just a simple wonder, remade Theatre of Dionysus, so gave its powers to this and simplify it similar to another tsentom1's wonder

 

[dacubz145]

@ J DXT1 has alpha? unless you mean DXT3 has its own alpha or something im unaware about but all of my buttons are DXT1 and have alphas. Also in DXTBMP there are many options, two of them being: DXT1 and DXT1 (no alpha), so if the one says no alpha by default the other does.

@ platyping, thats about it, and i didnt make the movies for you, it was for my own use but I would definatly not mind you using mine, here they are if you want to use them. I plan on releasing them since I beleive it would benefit other ppl if they had static movies

EDIT: Wow didnt know it would be that small, im definatly going to have to check that out since it is smaller, which doesnt make sence but happy it is! Also we definatly have the same taste since i used that picture for my button

...I knew there was something which I forgot .



So, platyping, 100+ videos to go, right ?

Nah, national wonders don't have videos
Although can easily alter them to display movies, I guess better to save the trouble

 

[platyping]

First 10 Movies

 

[dacubz145]

Are they all 61kb? And if you do n ot mind putting them in one file and posting them? I would really like to use them, and it would be easier then digging through every wonder

 

[platyping]

all 720x480 format, all 61 or 62 kb
Just download Gigapack when I done and take what you want lol
Already finished 51 movies.

The hard ones will be those XXX's buildings like Adam Smith's Trading Co, JS Bach's Cathedral as well as those odd projects like Cure for Cancer

 

[dacubz145]

I would definatly suggest pink ribbon for cure for cancer

For the other two, I would open the nif (do you have nifskope? If not I can do it for you), zoom in to the perfect size of the building, printscreen it, and then remove black and put a background

if what I said makes no sence to you i can do it for you

 

[platyping]

Definitely makes no sense to me
Real Buildings are easy.

More screenshots, see if you can tell which is which

 

[platyping]

Still short of pics for these, tell me if you have

Academy of Gondishapur
Adam Smith's Trading Co
Leonardo's Workshop
Library of Ashurbanipal
Marco Polo's Embassy
Newton's University
The Great Granary
The Necromanteion
Theatre of Dionysus
Theory of Evolution
Tlaloc Shrine
Trade Fair of Troyes
Tsukiji Fish Market
Women's Suffrage

Theory of Evolution
Tlaloc Shrine
Trade Fair of Troyes
Tsukiji Fish Market
Women's Suffrage

I can definatly tell which is which

For theory of evolution that is simple, just get a picture of apes turning into man (very common picture how they are all facing sideways)

Tsukiji Fish Market, just google it, and do a picture of a bucnh of dead fish

Women's Suffrage, just a picture of womens having signs that OR do something with this, you would have to edit it to make it wider (by adding white spaces to left/right or something) since in America it a famous symbol of women's suffrage/rights

All the rest I can do, basically what i would do is take a screenshot of the actual buliding that shows up in civ (but I have a way for it to come up bigger so no its not blurry), and then i would just put that on a background, would that be okay for all the others?

 

[platyping]

Haha yeah, I saw a lot of those ape pictures when googling for evolution but none looks nice considering the white background in all of them.

Tsukiji I thought of that too, but looks scary to have a bunch of dead fish staring at me after I finished a wonder...

Women Suffrage, all those I found seems to be in black and white

The rest, if you are free, feel free to do so

So far these are the pics I used for the movies, if you see any more appropriate pics just tell me

Things Done:
Modularise All Standalones
Make Static Movies
Add Movie Links for Megapack
Modularise Megapack
6 new works

Things Not Done:
Fix 3 Nuke Projects Modular problem
Find Pics for Movies not done
Add Movie Links for Standalone and Gigapack
Modularise Gigapack
4 more new works
Pak Megapack and Gigapack

 

[dacubz145]

I'm sure you know but just in case: For modulars just convert all the megapacks ones into gigapack and add the other wonders, same with movie links.

Pak is easy, that takes what? 2 minutes? and most of it waiting

Also just incase letting you know early gives you more time to think of ideas here is what I already have done for art:
Millennium Tower
KVLY-TV Tower
Desit Dubai Tower
Hut (just a building)
Largest fork
JPMorgan Chase Tower
Transamerica Tower
Hartford Tower
Sutro Tower
Metrodome
Golden Gate Bridge

All of those are sky scrapers except for bridge and hut (obviously), metrodome which is an american football(not soccer) dome, Sutro Tower, and KVLY-TV Tower. I think you would like the KVLY-TV Tower the best, as it was the tallest man-made object prior to Burj Khalifa, and since it is a broadcast tower of somesort, I though you could do something like cities around it get same bonus that that city gets, not sure wha tthat bonus is, maybe culture bonus or cities around get great artist when it does something similar to that, but it seems like something you havent done

 

[platyping]

I gonna convert Gigapack to simply an expansion rather than a standalone, since Megapack is now modular.

Thus, Gigapack will just consist of tsentom1 + GIR stuff, so in future I only have to update Megapack rather than both

Yeah, Pak is the last thing to do lol

Edit:
I feel like simply using Mona Lisa painting as movie for Leonardo since that is one of his famous works...

 

[dacubz145]

why not somothing similar for newton as well? possibly a faling apple?

 

[platyping]

Good idea, anything I can use for Adam Smith and Marco Polo?

I finished testings on Megapack already. In working condition, edited to make National Wonders show movies as well

However, project movies don't show help tags so I edit more stuff again...
But I can only let the help tags show after the default texts so it ended up like this

Update:
Gigapack conversion completed!

Next to do:
Standalone movie links
Find pics for leftover movies
Add 4 more new works
Fixed nuke projects

 

[j_mie6]

with the wonder movie screen it is easy to place before... edit the CvWonderMovieScreen.py and near the bottom it talks abut help strings, place some code in there to display before the hammers, it's what I would have done for natural wonders had they actually used special features

	def handleInput (self, inputClass):
		if (inputClass.getNotifyCode() == NotifyCode.NOTIFY_MOVIE_DONE):
			if (not self.bDone):
				screen = CyGInterfaceScreen( "WonderMovieScreen" + str(self.iWonderId), CvScreenEnums.WONDER_MOVIE_SCREEN )
				if self.iMovieType == MOVIE_SCREEN_WONDER:
					szHelp = CyGameTextMgr().getBuildingHelp(self.iWonderId, False, False, False, None)
				[B]elif self.iMovieType == MOVIE_SCREEN_PROJECT:
					szHelp = CyGameTextMgr().getProjectHelp(self.iWonderId, False, None)[/B]
				else:
					szHelp = ""
				
				if len(szHelp) > 0:
					screen.addPanel("MonkeyPanel", "", "", true, true, self.X_WINDOW + self.X_MOVIE + self.W_MOVIE / 8 - 10, self.Y_WINDOW + self.Y_MOVIE + 90, 3 * self.W_MOVIE / 4 + 20, self.H_MOVIE - 180, PanelStyles.PANEL_STYLE_MAIN_BLACK50)	
					screen.addMultilineText("MonkeyText", szHelp, self.X_WINDOW + self.X_MOVIE + self.W_MOVIE / 8, self.Y_WINDOW + self.Y_MOVIE + 100, 3 * self.W_MOVIE / 4, self.H_MOVIE - 200, WidgetTypes.WIDGET_GENERAL, -1, -1, CvUtil.FONT_LEFT_JUSTIFY)	
				self.bDone = true

put the code you used in the civilopedia in where the bold bit is.
