Question about Statue of Liberty

[Zimzollazim]

Before you say it, I searched the forums but had no luck.

Anyway, my question is if any one has ever changed the statue of liberty to appear in the water instead of in your city, sort of like the collosus.

Thanks

Sounds like a good idea. I'm surprised it wasn't that way by default.

Looking at BuildingInfos.xml, The differnces between the Colossus & SoL are:
bWater = 1 (requires coast to build)
iMinAreaSize = 10 (Maybe this is it?)

So change the SoL iMinAreaSize from -1 to 10, and see if that works. Would prob be a good idea to change bWater to 1 as well

Well, I tried your proposal, however, the statue was not in the city, or the water, but further in land!

Any other ideas? perhaps instead of 10 for the min area, maybe -10?

yes, actually I do have an idea...

in the CIV4ArtDefines_Building.xml....

change this:

<BuildingArtInfo>
			<Type>ART_DEF_BUILDING_STATUE_OF_LIBERTY</Type>
			<LSystem>LSYSTEM_3x3</LSystem>
			<bAnimated>0</bAnimated>
			<fScale>2.2</fScale>
			<fInterfaceScale>0.25</fInterfaceScale>
			<NIF>Art/Structures/Buildings/StatueofLiberty/StatueofLiberty.nif</NIF>
			<KFM/>
			<Button>,Art/Interface/Buttons/Buildings/StatueOfLiberty.dds,Art/Interface/Buttons/Buildings_Atlas.dds,8,10</Button>
		</BuildingArtInfo>

to this;

<BuildingArtInfo>
			<Type>ART_DEF_BUILDING_STATUE_OF_LIBERTY</Type>
			[B]<LSystem>LSYSTEM_WATER</LSystem>[/B]
			<bAnimated>0</bAnimated>
			<fScale>2.2</fScale>
			<fInterfaceScale>0.25</fInterfaceScale>
			<NIF>Art/Structures/Buildings/StatueofLiberty/StatueofLiberty.nif</NIF>
			<KFM/>
			<Button>,Art/Interface/Buttons/Buildings/StatueOfLiberty.dds,Art/Interface/Buttons/Buildings_Atlas.dds,8,10</Button>
		</BuildingArtInfo>

No, that still didnt work. Now this is odd.

 

[Shiggs713]

actually it does... i just tested it. Undo what Paasky said, and only do what I said, and it works. Although you probably want it to require water, or else it may look weird.

edit:

see look for yourself.

All I did was exactly what I said I did

 

[Paasky]

Ah yes, I had a hunch it would be in the art files, I just looked at the wrong ones.

 

[Shiggs713]

actually I'm glad you guys brought this up... I just changed it in my mod as well...I like it like this Kudos for the good idea Zimzollazim.

Thanks, for some reason, when I tried again it worked. Now the civ experience can be that much more realistic.
