PreGame lua Object

[S3rgeus]

Does anyone know where in the DLL the Lua PreGame object is defined? I can't seem to find it with the rest of the Lua stuff. (I thought, maybe, CvPreGame was automatically set up for its public methods to be available to Lua, but the methods all have different capitalization in Lua and C++, which isn't the case for other pushed Lua methods. Plus it doesn't work, adding a new method doesn't allow it to be called from Lua.)

Any searches for the usual lFunctionName naming convention for the PreGame functions turns up nothing.

It's not.

PreGame is available before any mods are loaded and it's handled by the main .exe code. Look in the UI/FrontEnd/MainMenu.lua file and you'll find a call to PreGame.LoadPreGameSettings(), search the DLLs for the string/symbol LoadPreGameSettings and you won't find it as it's in the main EXE (DX9/DX11/Tablet) files

Curses! At least we can extend the gameplay dll side of CvPreGame, though there are limitations to the usefulness of that since we can't attach any updates to the UI before the game starts up.

Yes we can... but not with mods. Only DLCs can do that in a simple way.
