Platyping's Python

[platyping]

Yeah, I know about this part, which is how I managed to get the pic above.

				elif self.iMovieType == MOVIE_SCREEN_PROJECT:	
## Project Help Tag Start ##	
 					gc = CyGlobalContext()
					szHelp = CyGameTextMgr().getProjectHelp(self.iWonderId, False, None)
					if self.iWonderId == gc.getInfoTypeForString("PROJECT_ART_OF_WAR"): szHelp += "\n" + CyTranslator().getText("TXT_KEY_PROJECT_ART_OF_WAR_HELP",())
## Project Help Tag End ##

If I place it in the other order, it looks even worse because the help tag messages will display before the "Silk Road, World Project etc... 500 Production"

Update:
Standalone Movie Links Done
Topkapi Palace Added

Not Done:
Academy of Gondishapur Movie
Marco Polo's Embassy Movie
3 more new wonders
Fix Nuke Projects Modular

 

[The_J]

A general "" for you.

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

mmhh...I'd take something with a dollar note for the former and for the second a sailing ship, but no specific idea.

 

[platyping]

K, marco polo settled
Left that academy of Gondishapur

Update:
Floralis Generica completed
@dacubz145
Any chance you can minimise or better still remove that black base?
It looks like a black hole

1 more movie to make and 2 more wonders to make

 

[j_mie6]

haha I just noticed alamut's button is Altaïr

I am always trying to put assassins creed easter eggs into stuff for example in my mod some of the great spies names come from AC such as Aqulius (french comic), Brutus etc.

 

[platyping]

Dunno about Altair, just found the button in RI mod and felt it looks great so used it lol

By the way, any wonder name to recommend for espionage wonder?

 

[j_mie6]

I dunno... What about MI6

Any chance of an Il Duomo wonder (something arty I guess)? it's definatly a wonder I wanna include in my next mod

 

[platyping]

Duomo church in Italy?

Ah another religious building
Just like the Chryser Building ducubz145 requested, if it is just another religious building or just another skyscrapper for Chryser case, abit hard to think of something to do with it, unless you have some ideas yourself.
Also, I don't see any artwork done for Duomo You know I am not an artist

Usually I choose wonders that have some unique features or stand out from the rest, easier to think of something to do with it.
Like Cleopatra's Needle, they come in a set of 3
Big Banana, bloody big and juicy banana
Floralis Generica, a flower
Serpent Mound, I prefer ancient wonders to modern wonders because... all modern techs filled up

 

[j_mie6]

yeah, the massive florentine church. Maybee Dacbuz could find/make some art for it (however he does it normally)

ooo ooo ooo I have an idea for feature!

when created it provides culture (or even 10% culture boost) to all cities in the civ/team with the state religion of the builder. Sounds good... what do you think?

 

[platyping]

If it is a one time 10% increase based on total culture in each city, pretty easy to code.
In fact, the oriental crown pic above is doing this to one city, which is an old tsentom1 wonder effect.

However, if you mean 10% boost every turn like broadcast tower boosting 50% or cathedrals boosting 50%, I havent figured out how to do that yet.
I can change the base commerce/yield output of buildings to give more culture, like cathedrals giving +5 culture, but I havent figured out how to change it to give 75% more for instance.

I got a feeling changeCultureTimes100 has some usage but I have not explored it yet

 

[j_mie6]

I was exploring that method and it is the same as changeCulture but the value is divided by 100... wierd.

The one time culture 'bomb' would be good but I also just thought that it boost culture by 10% to the next culture level ie:

Rome has 2 culture (so next level is at 10 culture) and it gets 10% added so it now has 3 culture, Paris on the other hand has 45 culture and it's next level is 100 so gets a boost of 10.


either of these effects are good for this wonder I think. and of course both are one time things so next to no lag. I am not sure how to account for speed though with regards to method 2, possibly the CvCultureLevelInfos some hold a method that could get total culture?

 

[platyping]

Yeah, I also got to the same conclusion when I tried that command last time.
But what is the point of that since it can be done using changeCulture anyway, so I thought maybe there is some dark secrets hidden somewhere...

yeah there is a way to account for game speed. I used that for theatre of dionysus to check amount required for legendary culture
Also used in Culture Traits

Lazy to copy and paste now
After 11pm it is rest and easy time

Update:
Magnum Opus completed

Left to do:
Movie for Academy of Gondishapur
1 more wonder to go

[platyping]

Ultra

Spoiler :

That's your bletchey park

Topkapi Palace

Spoiler :

Remake of tsentom1's Wonder
Since chance to build UU already used by Flavian, gave it another power which was original Imperialistic Trait

Theatre of Dionysus

Spoiler :

Gave original power to another wonder.
Also, wanted to do 1 wonder for each resource.
Rice = Banaue, Horse = Circus Maximus, Oil = Hibernia, Fish = Tsukiji, Crab = Fisherman's Wharf etc. So this one for Wine

Spoiler :

Another terraforming wonder.
New wonders built on hills, good thing = extra defense. bad thing = irrigation will not spread

Magnum Opus

Spoiler :

Nope, this is not Harry Potter's stone
Gold or Silver will be added directly to capital when successful, just like Empire State Building.
Thus, these added resources will disappear if capital captured.
Chance is... very slim, the more resources you have better chance

The Grail

Spoiler :

Gets an army of Knights.
Number depends on number of players in game, and how many players in team
Min 4, Max 13 (There are only 13 knights of the round )

All knights come with March Promotion.
Each knight come with random KOTR name.
If you get Lancelot, he comes with Leader Promotion
If you get Arthur, he comes with Leader and Leadership Promotion

[dacubz145]

Hey platyping nice work on the new ones
when you start updating the wonders though, any way you can do Tomb of Khalid ibn al-Walid first? I really need it modular for a mod I want to release soon, thanks

also, you forgot to mention the artists for serpant mound (Hrochland) and floralis (myself)

 

[j_mie6]

yeah dacubz, would you be able to get an il duomo artwork for google or whereever?

 

[platyping]

[platyping]

The 10th new work:

Al Khazneh

Spoiler :

Removes the resource from plot in rival terriority.
Adds the resource to a random mine with no resource in own terriority.
Chance is 1/500

Actually this is more fun as a National Wonder, since you can steal and he can steal back
But reading the pedia, it seems grand enough to be World Wonder, so bleh...

Artwork by Andreas Charell

Bleh, default Screenshot still looks better without the movie art
