This seems to be shaping up very well. When or have you and T-brd discussed it's inclusion into the main?
JosEPh
I haven't decided that yet nor discussed on the matter with anyone.
It's about 50% done, I want it closer to 100% before I would consider including it in core C2C.

However don't forget to remove the duplicates we don't need to know that it needs Woodworking and Woodworking for example.

All of them! There is one tech requirement set on the Improvement and another on the Build.Which improvements has duplicate requirement?
The one on the Improvement is there for when it becomes valid to upgrade the "lesser" improvements. The ones in the build are there to control which units can actually build the improvement.

Not quite. C2C uses them so that old workers (esp gatherers) need to be upgraded to make new improvemnets.

Different worker types can build the same improvement via different defined builds that operate in different ways. You can have more than one build definition for an improvement.
Not sure I'm helping, just clarifying.

v0.5
v0.5 have a big bug, I recommend the previous version until I get a fix ready.
The pedia page would not appear when clicking on an entry in the list to the right of categories.
It was caused by what I did to achieve the last bullet point above.
v0.5.1
Due to a technical limitation, some icons in the index and the left side list will display as pink buttons. This is caused when a texture file path contains whitespace ( a space ). This can be fixed by renaming all folders that leads to button textures and the name of the textures that contains whitespace. There is no way to keep the new speedy pedia and have all buttons display correctly without removing the whitespaces.
- Overhauled the index.
- Index opens in 1-3 seconds instead of 20-40 seconds.
- I found no way to keep the icons in the index, so they are gone.
- All sub category lists, except for those in the concepts category, now show up much faster.

v0.5.1
- Fixed the problem mentioned above and the solution even improved the speed at which the lists display in... a lot.
- All list, except for the index, now show up instantaneously; the index needs around 2-4 seconds.
- Found a way to display icons in the index.

Ever since we included BULL we have said that there
In vanilla a text list was displayed but C2C had too many buildings for it to look good, so we used BULL. However C2C has too many buildings for that to look good also, so it was changed to just display Wonders and Projects.
Do you know which are causing the problems? Of course you do

Well... let's fix them then 
Gonna take a bit of uploading and downloading to update after this I guess.

I'll do the ones in New_Cultures and Orion Mods.
It is quick and simple to do.

Yeah I'm still stuck on the recosting stuff too - but after I do these religion modules I'll tear off a chunk of these and correct them. Just to be clear, we just need to make sure there's no spaces in both the graphic file names and their naming in their perspective FPKs must then also be adjusted right? This will mean repacking those FPK's after unpacking them and renaming the files?

1) no spaces in the path or file name.
2) no need to do the FPK stuff until just before the next release. Just unpack it on your drive and put the files you change into the art/... folders that they are in when unpacked. That way they will be found and we wont be doing big updates when we don't need to.
3) if the original are not in FPK then copy them to the name and remember to SVN delete the old.

That's a good plan, man!

By the way you only need to do the button ones (.dds) and can ignore spaces in nif and kfm paths and file names.
I am about 1/5th of the way through the new_culture ones and am going cross eyed :LOL:. I'll get back to it tomorrow. Had too good a time at the "first Sunday in Spring" picnic, the event was a surprise event as today was also the first fine day in a fortnight, 22C and clear sunny skies. Who would have thought we would go from snow two weeks ago (didn't reach ground) to this?
