Puppet States Mod (BTS 3.19)

[stolenrays]

Version 1.5
-Added AI to make it more likely to Puppet than Raze from ExtraModMod from MoreNavalAI
-Previous Civ that is Puppeted gets -2 attitude

 

[stolenrays]

Hmm. Puppet States also needs to have the memory of power be positive, not negative. To do for later, but a minor fix for modders.

 

[CaptainLost]

Is there any way to control what state is founded? ie. what the puppets civ is?

 

[stolenrays]

Not as of yet. That is a great idea. Perhaps the choose a leader for colonies could be adapted. In addition, some sort of xml list in for each civ could contain puppet civs if that civ is conquered, etc.

 

[CaptainLost]

Perhaps the choose a leader for colonies could be adapted.

What is that?

 

[stolenrays]

Th_J made it. It is a python modcomp where when a colony is created, you choose the civ & the leader for it.

 

[CaptainLost]

Oh, all right. Sounds cool.

 

[Tholal]

Nevermind - bad post.

Curretly merging the C++ code into my code. I notice the only differences in CvUnitAI.cpp were whitespace differences. Are there changes in that file or was it included by mistake?

 

[stolenrays]

Must have been a mistake Roger. I'll delete it in a minor update. It was prob something minor I changed and then saw that the date had it modified and included the file without looking at the file.

 

[RogerBacon]

OK. While I have your attention, I saw that BARBARIAN_FREE_TECH_PERCENTand CITY_BARBARIAN_DEFENSE_MODIFIER are commented out in GlobalDefines.xml. Can you explain what that is about? Are those tags no longer used?

 

[stolenrays]

Must have been an accident when I merged the code from the DPII Mod. Good catch and keep 'em coming, . I'll put that on the to do list as well.

 

[RogerBacon]

OK, got home and installed this but I can't get it to work. So, lets make sure I understand what is needed. If I have puppet states enabled in teh options and I have tech Nationalism, then when I capture a non-barbarian city I should get an option to turn it into a puppet, right? Is there anything else that is needed?

kmod merge kmod merge kmod merge !

[RogerBacon]

Can anyone confirm that this mod actually works? I've tested it out and it isn't workiong for me. I thought my merge had a problem but the mod, by itself, straigt up isn't working either. I tested it by going into the editor, giving myself teh Nationalism tech, giving another player a city nearby to capture, and then invading the city. I only get the normal options of taking the city or sacking it. Am I doing something wrong or does the mod not work?

 

[Tholal]

I dont know about this specific mod, but I incorporated the code into my mod and it works fine.

 

[stolenrays]

I'm going to test themod out. Sorry about the delay, swamped with stuff to do in real life.

 

[stolenrays]

Just tested it. Make sure you have discovered Nationalism first. It works when I tested it.

 

[isenchine]

Mod (as a standalone) doesn't seem to work. Are there hidden conditions for the puppet pop-up to appear?

I saw you requested help on the choose leader and civ thing. I decided to give it a shot (in C++). Will update you later whether I succeeded.

Re: isn't working: You need feudalism (for vassals), too, and also the puppet state gameoption (I think that should be on by default, since you probably don't download this to play without that gameoption )
