Platy's Peculiar Pleasant Posh Python

[vincentz]

Thanks

I'm at the nice era of my mod, where I actually play more than I mod, and enjoy it thoroughly. I started to play quite a lot on my TV with my mouse only, and also in my bed with my tablet. There is however one thing I'm missing alot, and that is Next/Previous units and a Center on Unit through mouse/touchscreen.
Something like this :

Is it possible? (added CircleDot, but havent tested it, so it prolly looks pretty bad (32x32 dds5 with alpha).

cheers
Vincentz

ps. I'm happy you named the Build list in platy options for Vincents though, while my real name is indeed Vincents, my CFC name is Vincentz

Done, although not very satisfied with the results.

1) The buttons are placed on the left instead, because if you want it on the bar and at the right, it will eat into the promotion area.

2) The CircleDot looks weird in game, with some black patches here and there. But frankly speaking, I don't really see the point of it. The minimap is already flashing for the selected unit. Isn't it the same, moving your mouse to click on this new button, or moving your mouse and click on the minimap...

I guess you are right with the center thing, though on the PC I do use the <c> key quite a lot. Maybe use the Eye icon instead?
Is it possible to make it go through active, unmoved units like the keypad Enter or the <w> key instead of all units?
And lastly, maybe move it 10 pixels to the right, so its not too close to the edge. The reason why I put it on the right side was because on the left side there is the "Renaming Unit" feature, but I dont think its going to be a problem though.

Cheers Vincentz

1) Rewritten to function similar to wait.

2) Removed the center icon.
Since there is a keyboard function, and mouse function on mini map, is it really necessary?
Anyway with the new <> functions, < and > will go back and center on same unit as well.
Codes are commented out, so if you want it, you can re-enable it.
Artwork is XML defined.

3) Shifted slightly to the right.
As mentioned, it can't be placed at the right side, because of the promotions.
Unless they are shifted upwards, as high as the ones controlling the scoreboard.
Thus, I left them on the left side.

I am not getting the Natural Wonder movies to play. I am getting the message saying that I am the first to find the wonder. My and your version of thecheckReveal code which does that and the shows the movie is the same. I know it is this bit of code because the message is the only one that comes out in that colour.

I am not getting any python error messages.

I am right in thinking you tested the movies in game aren't I?

 

[platyping]

It depends also on what you do in the wondermovie screen itself as well.
You can't expect it to play without codes there.
Naturally, I tested my codes before, though it is not hard to download and proof otherwise

And obviously, movie option should be activated.

If nothing wrong with the python, then the problem will be the art define file.

 

[Dancing Hoskuld]

How on earth did I miss that file! CvWonderMovieScreen.py and enums that is.

 

[platyping]

Probably time to update it with one or two new wonders though.
HR got some pretty nice artwork.

 

[Dancing Hoskuld]

Rats! now I am getting the screen but no movie showing. OH well it is late and time to think about sleeping

 

[platyping]

1) onPlotRevealed
2) wonder moviescreen
3) art define movie XML
4) movie file itself

Chances are your art define file is screwed

 

[Dancing Hoskuld]

C2C did not have a CvWonderMovieScreen.py so I copied yours over then updated the ScreensInterface.py to match yours which meant that I needed to copy over the PlatyPediaMovie.py as well to not get errors.

This suggests I have done something wrong in the ScreenInterface.py or the XML. I'll add a Natural Wonder movie to building since the building wonder movies were playing OK.

edit the movie plays fine as abuilding so the movie XML is fine so it looks like something in screensinterface.

 

[platyping]

If wondermoviescreen file does not exist in C2C, it simply means it is using the bts version since there are no changes.
Which means there is no need to add the screeninterface file.
It simply means your artdefinemovie file does not tally with the codes, so it cannot find the corresponding movie.

 

[Dancing Hoskuld]

Which is what I had before and nothing was being displayed.

The artdefines movie is working because if I put the Aurora movie on a building it plays.

 

[platyping]

If you look into the WonderMovieScreen file, you will find

## Natural Wonders - Start 
		elif self.iMovieType == 3:
			sType = gc.getFeatureInfo(iMovieItem).getType()
			szArtDef = CyArtFileMgr().getMovieArtInfo("ART_DEF_MOVIE_" + sType[sType.find("_PLATY_") +7:])
			if szArtDef:
				self.szMovieFile = szArtDef.getPath()
## Natural Wonders - End

Because there is no ArtDefineMovie tag for Features, so the codes here will look for a corresponding hard coded ArtDefineMovie tag based on the Feature Type tag.

So if you renamed the Wonder Type tag to something else, without changing this code, it is not going to find its corresponding Movie file.

Of course there is no issue with buildings because those are done via the XML tag which comes with the BuildingInfo.xml file.

Ultrapack TechTree

Revamped the way Tech Tree is coded.

BTS Tech Tree:
For every single tech, loop through all buildings, units, civics, improvements etc to see what is unlocked by this tech.

For a mod with 1000 techs, 2000 buildings, 3000 units, 4000 promotions, what happens is you need to loop through a total of:
1000 x (2000 + 3000 + 4000 + etc)
which means millions.

Platy UI Tech Tree:
Loop through all buildings, units, civics etc once to determine which tech unlocks it.
Then loop through all techs and display the unlocked benefits.

For a same mod:
1000 + 2000 + 3000 + 4000 + etc
which means 10,000 + etc

Pedia Tech Tree
Updated to similar fashion

Nice, I will be interested to get the energy to update this, as I was often experiencing lag when opening the tech tree in game and pedia, so it will be fun to see if I notice a speed increase

 

[platyping]

Tried it with VIP.
From 13 sec to 3 sec on my 4 year old laptop.
