Platy's Peculiar Pleasant Posh Python

[isenchine]

I don't see why this should not work anymore. Do you still have the feature 'Volcano' and can you add it in WorlBuilder?

Otherwise, in the CvRandomInterface.py, apart from adding the 2 functions def canTriggerVolcanoDormant1 and def applyVolcanoDormant1 that appear at the bottom of the file, you need to have these 3 lines added to the original function def applyVolcano1:

Spoiler :

	plot = gc.getMap().plot(kTriggeredData.iPlotX, kTriggeredData.iPlotY)
	plot.setPlotType(PlotTypes.PLOT_LAND, True, True)
	plot.setFeatureType(gc.getInfoTypeForString('FEATURE_VOLCANO'), 0)

The rest is XML merge and art files.

EDIT: sorry Platy... I was writing when you posted...Would be interested to know what you did in addition though!

Thank you for your patience, isenchine. You know, I have incredible problems with python. In addition, there annoys me that I have invented it, and still it does not work for me

Swimmers

Features:
Cargo may survive when transport destroyed

1) Only in water plots

2) Only for non mechanical units.
Surprisingly, Gunships are non mechanical...

3) Swimmers suffer random damage for swimming, up to 50%
Thus, dying ones will probably drown.

4) Amphibious units are immune to above damage.

Swimmers: good idea! Downloaded!

My days of losing thousands of poor, helpless marines when their transport is attacked are OVER! Thanks, Platy--you've saved countless invaders' lives.

I have a request, please. I need help. Your volcano is perfect because there are two events. volcano erupted and volcano exiting. The problem is that I tried it twice merge and every time the same error. For all dialogs appear percent chance ... In your Palace Upgrade for example too...And I do not have anywhere on the map volcano model. I really checked it. If are willing to help me with it that I will be really happy

viz picture:

 

[platyping]

1) If bug occurs even in standalone, then tell me about it. Else it is a problem with merging.
2) Events cannot be modular. They will screw all existing events.

 

[hrochland]

Hi, Platyping. Now I tried volcano separately. Weight I set to -1. The game appeared dialog, but no model volcano.

 

[platyping]

Tried and tested.
No issue...

 

[isenchine]

Tried and tested.
No issue...

For me, playing your event as a mod, it only worked when I changed the value

<iNumPlotsRequired>0</iNumPlotsRequired>

to 1.

Then, the volcano erupts on a water plot (inside your borders), replacing water by flat land and adding the feature Krakatoa.

Your event is not linked to the original BtS event. This event requires a peak inside your borders to be triggered. Then, Fierabras was replacing the peak with a flat land and adding the feature Volcano.

No wonder hroch is confused!...

 

[platyping]

Change iPlotType to 0 and you are done.
Whether you want it linked to original event is up to you.

I only bothered with the python, the XML I leave it to him.

Change iPlotType to 0 and you are done.

I only bothered with the python, the XML I leave it to him.

I know about iPlotType but as it is you have two events for the eruption of the volcano:

1) the original one with no volcano appearing, causing destruction

2) yours with a volcano appearing but with nothing happening (OK, replacement of water plot by land plot is happening!)

I just wanted to recapitulate the differences and the oddness of the situation.

Your volcano becoming extinct also only works for me if I change it to iNumPlotsRequired = 1.

 

[platyping]

As I said, XML stuff I can't really be bothered.
Whether he wants to link it to the original volcano or not, is purely XML stuff, so I leave it to him to adjust.

 

[isenchine]

The Python code was already done by Fierabras. Then... why bother at all?

 

[platyping]

You think I bothered to check?
He wanted it, so I write abit.
The python takes 1 min, the XML will take 10 mins. So I only make sure the python works.

Tech Tree Ultrapack

Added a 3rd Option "Hides Irrevelant Benefits"
Hides first player benefits, wonders already built, projects built etc when activated.
Such that user can judge better the benefits to decide which tech to research, since there is no point in displaying wonders already built etc.

Example above, Judaism and Hanging Gardens

Only affects techs not researched yet.

P.S.
Updated Volcano Event with XML fixes.

 

[dacubz145]

In regard to both your worldbuilder and your fixed borders, I noticed you can edit the plots culture points. In your worldbuilder you can edit who has how many culture points on which tile, yet when you save the scenario, it doesn't appear any where in the xml of the file? I want all the borders to be fixed, yet I obviously don't want to go plot by plot and change each to 1000000

Any ideas?

Only other idea I have is create a code for begin scenario, go through plots, find owner of plot, give plot 1000000 culture to that player

 

[platyping]

Because the save/load codes are done in another WB file which I didn't bother to touch since it is > 2000 lines.

It will only save/load details defined there. Thus, not everything you can change in my WB will be saved for scenario making.

 

[dacubz145]

So then the best way to create 100% fixed borders is to create a code at the start of the scenario, which gives all plots maximum culture. Only problem is when someone conquers a city, it would be difficult to code in which plots to hand over no? Bc giving the 8 surrounding clearly won't work in all cases.

 

[platyping]

Obviously that is up to the modder to decide, since 2 cities may be next to each other exerting culture on same plot. So how to decide who should own the plot after one city flip is your decision.

And dont forget, even if you have 10mil culture on a plot, you cannot own it unless there is a city nearby with large enough radius.
