I think your new system is working, but only the original policies are there to sea

Sounds like you have a problem with the text string updates. But all my text updates are in the same file, so if you have a problem with the policy updates, I would think that all new or updated text in the game would also be messed up.

So it happens when you are using both English and German languages?

Can you tell me if the name for the Wine resource has changed to Grapes? If not, I would assume that none of the updates are working, and that the different language files are at fault. But if it correctly shows Grapes as the name, then I am confused as to why the policies would be the only broken text.

Yes the name is still wein(wine), also the policies remain in German to. Anything else(V9) is named correctly in English.

Can this causes my ctd(wall)? Thanks for the quick answers.

Now i changed the Text us_US in de_DE, and it works perfect.
All is fine i see your new policies and also Grapes. Thanks for the help.

I think with these picture choices, it is really really really important to have a consistent style for all of them. That probably means they should all either be paintings/drawings OR photos. Not both. It also means they should all be taken through the Photoshop ringer.

 

[FiresForever]

Well today i have been creating some test policies and checking that they work, which they do

I just need to sort out the pipes then i can do a bit of copying and pasting and cleaning, then D can get to work putting it into the mod and creating the policies.

Attached is a picture to show the policy buttons working - minus those pipes

I think that original art would be better for the Governments myself.

I completely agree with this statement. Unfortunately, I haven't seen anyone putting out any custom art (unless you are volunteering ), and as I don't have any experience making art, I am just trying to do the best with what I have. I think that goes for everything (techs, improvements, units), and I think it would be great to make that a long term goal, but in the meantime we have to "make do."

I think with these picture choices, it is really really really important to have a consistent style for all of them. That probably means they should all either be paintings/drawings OR photos. Not both. It also means they should all be taken through the Photoshop ringer.

I feel the exact same way. I personally have tried to find paintings as they seem to fit in well with the overall feel of this game, but there are times when there are none to choose from. Then again, I think the ideal would be to eventually have all custom art.

With that said, I really like the ecotopia pic from danielshannon.

And Fires, a few on that list can be supplemented with some of the origianal artwork. Piety is a shoe-in, and the old autocracy pic could demonstrate fascism, though it might be a stretch (unless my terms are wrong). For the pics I posted on Constitutional and Electorial, I can see that they were a little to American Exclusive (but the Constitutional pic was sooo cool ), so what kind of image do you have in mind?

Here are some possibilities for Buddhism. I personally like the first one the best (and it's a painting), but those who dig the gold would like the later two.

i suddenly think about governement and i check i still use the original (french for me) governements and of course can't see the news one.

so i finally start a new game with : "Allow policy saving" box checked (and the next one too about promotions)

but strangely i still have the french (original) ones ... is that normal? or i miss something?

i use civ 5 last patch with v9 21.12.11
Do you mean you still see the Vanilla Civ 5 policies?

yes exactly but i read the next posts and i see :

Yes the name is still wein(wine), also the policies remain in German to. Anything else(V9) is named correctly in English.

Can this causes my ctd(wall)? Thanks for the quick answers.

hmmmm how you change the Text? directly on the game options???

(if i need to play in english that's ok lol )

ho right i updated to 24.01.11

Yeah i find myself liking the look of paintings and drawings rather than photos, in fact atm i only have one photo being used which i tried to make look a little less like a photo, see attatched . my photoshoping skills are a bit limited

Also i find the pictures with a lot of white don't look too good

Here are some possibilities for Buddhism. I personally like the first one the best (and it's a painting),

Yeah that first one looks good

 

[Sneaks]

Hmm.

Fires,

PM me a full list of policies and the background image sizes again, and I will throw a few together for you to look at. I enjoy a lot of what this mod does, but icons that look noticably less polished than vanilla is a total turn-off for me.

 

[mo123567]

I know it wasn't part of CTP but have you ever considered adding a prehistoric age like a few other mods have done? It would be so epic to go from the prehistoric age all the way to the future ages.

 

[chrome-rome]

Not sure if those pictures fit. Conservatism and Liberalism aren't exactly tied to any specific revolutions or papers. Whether a government is liberal or conservative, they are still tied to the declaration of independence. Both ideologies have meant different things in different times, such as Conservatives support hereditary Monarchy back in the day. . . . Liberalism of course is all about equality and civil rights. Generally advanced ideas on freedom that upsets the political order which conservatism tries to defend. I don't know if riots or revolutions are the best pictures for this branch though. I am thinking more along the lines of "I have a Dream" speech, pictures representing the cutting of bonds/shackles, or even the Berlin Wall crumbling.

I see. What I was going for here was showing the forward progression of the colonies into a new independent government. I guess I missed the mark . And my first thoughts shifted to the civil rights movement when I saw Liberalism, but I didn't know if that was the look you wanted. I am glad it is.

For Conservatism, it's one all-encompassing trait is the reluctance for change, or the desire for slow gradual change when necessary. If you could find a decent picture or piece of art representing that, great.

I was sorely temped to suggest the

KKK

there, but I know that many people would despise seeing them, myself included. Lol, it seems like some parts of this mod are getting into sensitive topics; this will probably help to make things seem more realistic.

Everything else I could think of was pretty controversial as well. I'll keep looking though. Maybe I will stumble upon something.

**EDIT**

Fires,

PM me a full list of policies and the background image sizes again, and I will throw a few together for you to look at.

Yay Sneaks

I sent you a pm, I look forward to seeing what you can do as it means i can get back to doing what i like best, the coding

 

[MasterJ]

on the way i found were to change Text i put fr_FR then i now all is ok show correctly on governement in english of course and i have all technologies names in english but it's ok for me now i have all

 

[Pouakai]

About the non-visible tech tree, I deleted CtP v8 and it worked

 

[FiresForever]

Well the final piece of the multiple social panel problem has been solved, the pipes, i should hopefully therefore be sending a copy to D tomorrow evening so that it can be implemented into the mod, the policies created, more pictures added and reporting any small bugs that might crop up.

Picture of the pipe fix attached

 

[ikillu64]

in fact atm i only have one photo being used

You got rid of my imperialism pic?

 

[DJGspinNhitz]

the CtD issue seems I can't get past the area around turn 170, I am guessing it is AI related. If I reopen the game I may get to turn 178 or 172 but somewhere in the turns b/t 169 and 179 something is happening to cause a CtD. I am not sure but I think it has something to do with conquering a City-State or war with City-State, but the CtD has occurred only on the turn when I received a Great Artist, maybe a correlation.

 

[FiresForever]

You got rid of my imperialism pic?

Yeah i was gonna use this one instead, will have to wait and see what sneaks comes up with though before deciding what goes in or is left out

 

[Sneaks]

Well, did two quick governments as an example of what I would like to do/see.

Monarchy

Theocracy

They are 192x292 images, which is what the original policy DDS ones are. The theocracy one needs a bit better cleaning up on the edges thanks to sloppy eraserwork on my part.

I will do my best to find good images for the rest of the policies.

For republic, I would love a painting of a roman senator
For democracy, I want some painting in a greek forum
Fascism will probably be an army marching.

A few notes on actual policy names:
Autocracy and Totalitarianism are redundant. Oligarchy should replace one.

Rename No State Religion to Antireligion
