Preview of an unofficial “Events” Expansion!

Will this be an augmentation of vanilla, or will this add to Warlords? For me, adding this to Warlords would be ideal ....
 
Since I develop using the Warlords SDK I can only say that it would be compatible with Warlords. Whether it can be merged into the vanilla version, I cannot say.
 
I'm very happy to hear that :D

I'd say that it depends largely on whether you made any changes to CvEnums.h As far as I know, you have more flexibility with that in Warlords than in Vanilla.
 
There have been a number of changes to enums.h including several new enums.

Sorry guys... potential setback... trying to fix a bug that might delay things a bit.
 
Do what you've got to do to correct it and release a well developed product. Just let us know when it's ready for download :)
 
Good News: I had an almost-bug-free weekend. It seems the event engine itself is working flawlessly (except some silly little text glitches I need to work out).

The only crash that occurs now is weird and only occurs during loading a game. What is weird is that it only happens once in a while even when loading the same exact save. This is new so I might be able to find it in the code I have changed recently... but does anyone know what causes this?

I will load a save game and it will not load one time. Then I load the exact same save game and it works no problem!?! Does anyone have experience with this type of bug? It could be a thread issue... but otherwise I am lost and since the DLL doesn't deal with threads directly, I am not sure how to fix it.

Anyway... as soon as I correct this bug, we are just a few text changes away from the first (beta) release!
 
Great! I can't wait for the release.

It'll be interesting to see how this stands with Beyond The Sword's events.
 
Ok... I think I can give everyone a date for the first release of the event engine. Things are nearly as good as they will get until I get a bunch of people finding those rare bugs that don't happen very often.

The first version of the event engine will come out between tomorrow (June 9th) and Monday as a part of the Genetic Era Mod (the latest update).

After that, I am taking a week's vacation to visit family, but when I get back, I should be able to release the Event engine as a self-standing mod/expansion within a week or two. So expect it by the end of June.
 
That is brilliant and I bet it's more than what BTS is gonna have. :P
 
Is there any news on when this might be released? It's one of those few mods that's really got my attention. What with all the BtS news people are paying too much attention to that and not enough to customization.

Too bad there isn't quantified resources (bonuses) in the game.. then you could have the Great Explorer get a big shipment of some resource... for example, they pick up 500 units of Spices in exchange for X amount of gold.

:lol: Oh, the irony. You might be part psychic, Dom. If we get QR worked out I'll look into this...
 
Ok... a working version of the events expansion has been posted in the form of the Genetic Era Mod if you want to get a taste of it while it gets processed for general use. Like I said, I should be able to get it up by the end of June.

I have also posted a list of events (and their stats) that are included with that mod here. (This links to a zipped acrobat file.)
 
Perhaps a link to the .pdf file directly?

Unfortunately neither this sight nor my upload sight allow pdf uploads. Doesn't make any sense to me but that is why I had to zip it.
 
is the event thing warlords only or will there be a vanilla release?

Currently, I only have plans for Warlords and BtS. If it doesn't take to long and I find some time, I may release for vanilla... but honestly, even if Warlords wasn't worth it for the expansion itself, it was definitely worth it for the mods that use it. That was the only reason I bought it! And I bought it when it came out! The price should have dropped by now.
