Platy's Peculiar Pleasant Posh Python

[keldath]

ok platy,

thank you anyway

Platy,
About your wonder counter:

I want to change a icon code of silver star / national wonder:

CyTranslator().getText("[ICON_SILVER_STAR]", ())

for

national = "Art\BUG\National_On.dds"
ArtFileMgr.getInterfaceArtInfo(national).getPath()

inside BUG mod

What I'm doing wrong?

sText = localText.getText("TXT_KEY_CONCEPT_BUILDINGS", ())
national = "Art\BUG\National_On.dds"
sNW = ArtFileMgr.getInterfaceArtInfo(national).getPath()
sText += " (" + str(pHeadSelectedCity.getNumNationalWonders() + pHeadSelectedCity.getNumTeamWonders()) + sNW + str(pHeadSelectedCity.getNumWorldWonders()) + CyTranslator().getText("[ICON_STAR]", ()) + ")"
screen.setLabel( "BuildingListLabel", "Background", sText, CvUtil.FONT_CENTER_JUSTIFY, 129, 295, -0.1, FontTypes.SMALL_FONT, WidgetTypes.WIDGET_GENERAL, -1, -1 )

Icon is not a button.
They are not interchangeable.

Platypedia

Codes overhaul for new pages.
Abandon "Dummy Concept" method employed in Sevopedia to link to new pages.

New code system:
1) No longer requires dummy concepts, which means users can simply use Platypedia without the need to create dummy concepts for their new traits, routes etc, for items without "Jump to Pedia Widgets"

2) Separate pedia python files for each new page.
No longer clustered in CvPediaHistory

hey ya platy,
im starting to add your wonder and projects,

i now see the us fullness of using modular load, but i ask my self - whats better? a merge in ga,me files - or as modules?

 

[platyping]

Certain files cannot be added as modular anyway, like promotions and projects.
Leaders and civilizations should not be either since they will not be in alphabetical order in selection listthe rest up to you.

Never separate python files into modules

 

[keldath]

ofc i wont seperate pythons,

what i mean is, should i leave the modules folder - or merge each section onto the main mod files?

does modular load have downsides?
slower ingame? multiplayer problems?
its just i never used this method before.

 

[platyping]

Not sure about loading time, but generally for a mod, I won't use them in modular form.

Pros of modules:
1) Easy to add/delete.
You don't have to search in multiple XML files for their entries and delete when you no longer need them.
If you forgot to delete one, you end up with extra data in your mod which means when there is a loop through all buildings for instance, it loops through some extra unnecessary loops, not a big deal actually, unless the extra data is in thousands...

Cons of modules:
1) Conflicts.
Certain mod components modify same XML entry, such as adding builds to workers.
Mod A may allow workers to build terraform, while mod B allow them to build solar panels.
Separated in modules, only one will work, and you won't get an error message.

2) Arrangement of items.
Leaders and Civs as I mentioned.
Modular ones get dumped to bottom of the list.

Conclusion:
Modules are for temporary stuff you have not made your mind whether to keep or not.

Wonderful Victory

Features:

Something simple for Industrious Leaders this time.

 

[keldath]

lol "wonderful victory" how cool


thanks for the explanation platy.

 

[platyping]

Fertile Victory

One for the philosophers.
Might be hard for single player games, but should be easier in team games.

Note that those granted by techs are counted as well.

 

[keldath]

where do you come up with this ideas??
amazing.




platy,
i hit a brick wall,
im merging your wonders and projects,

the wonders are easy merge,

but projects are different.
when i merge one project, it shows ok, but then i see the the Apollo program and other space related , shows "required silk road (184747467)" this weird number and all sorts of weird info.
another thing is when i add another project - the previous added project info - is going away and im getting in its desc - "required to build ss docking, ss engine....." all the spaceship little parts. and no info on its own effects.

any ideas? it seems that the cvpediaproject.py is the problem i guess?

 

[platyping]

Add them manually.
Projectinfo.xml dont work well in modular mode

 

[keldath]

ok i will try that.

thanks.

oh and also -
when i merged natural wonders,
it would seem that its not working - when i get to the pedia -i dont see the effects of the wonders, also - i cant choose the wonders with mouse click - it jumpt to a regular feature . like fallout.


(i know i have a lot of questions... but its just that i love your work and want it in all my mods)


****
bingo - you were right - adding the projects manually worked. thanks.

 

[platyping]

If the natural wonders standalone does not work, let me know.
Else you probably make mistakes while merging.

Terapack has most wonders together with natural wonders and some old stuff.
Does not come with pedia though, but good enough to see how things merged

 

[keldath]

ye i looked at the terra pack, though i didnt look on the natural wonders merge - i will try it.

for now, i am adding wonders one by one, its fast and easy and i can pick the ones i want.

when im done, my mod will be something like - kmod+platyping work

say - do you get to play civ ever? with all this modding?

Hi, Platy,
I am obsessed by your new victory conditions screen, and I wonder if you could release a standalone version since your ultra pack is too big.
