Questions about The BUG Mod

[Revenant666]

Hello,

is there some way how I can remove all female GP, missionaries and there are probably some female models in units too?

This *should* work:

Go to Bat Mod 4.1\Assets\Config and load the init.xml file in Notepad. Scroll down to this section and delete the line highlighted in red.

<!-- New Mods -->
	
	<load mod="BATPop"/>
	<load mod="MovieMod"/>
	[B][COLOR="Red"]<load mod="Fem CEO Mod"/>[/COLOR][/B]
	<load mod="Messages"/>
	<load mod="GreatPersonEvents"/>
	
	<!-- Options Screen -->
	
	<screen id="BUGFull">
	<tab module="BugGeneralOptionsTab"/>

That should take the girls out.

To be honest, I was expecting something slightly more testy. But then again, all girls like going out (on the town).

Thank you

BTW. where exactly is the python file which decides if newborn GP is male or female? I did not find it... I do not know much about Civ4 modding, to tell the truth but i checked the original female GP mod from by Saibotlieh and there is python file, which do that work.

Did not find anything like it in BAT (except Fem CEO Mod.py and I do not quite understand what it does).

I was in an exceedingly good mood. The GF has me feeling a little wonderful of late.

The file that decides is indeed Fem CEO Mod.py. I wrote new code instead of using code from Saibotlieh's mod to work with BAT.

Well,

so I did it and started a new game. Sadly, I am still receiving Female GPs, so this is not working.

I'm learning about the BUG mod through the online documentation. I have found that many parts of the documentation are missing. I would like to edit the wiki to add the missing parts. Can I get editing permission?

You mean you're still getting the female artwork? That shouldn't happen with the Fem CEO mod-mod not loading.

That would be spiffy, but I don't know who can grant editing permission. EmperorFool has been gone for a year. Maybe ruff_hi can. I know I can't do it.

I think I can grant editor rights but I am not sure. While I dig into what we have at sourceforge, feel free to email me updates to selected pages (ruff dot hi at gmail dot com) and I will add them. Please be specific about which page you are updating and where your updates should go.

And ruff saves the day!

That makes two of us, although I must say that I love seeing a happy Lemon.

Quite unsurprisingly, I've run into problems as soon as I started. I started checking the Advanced Scoreboard page. It looks like there are some undocumented features, like the red hand that means that the civ is at war or preparing for it. However, I'm not certain of which of these features belong to BUG and which are already present in BTS. Can you tell me where I can find info about this kind of stuff for unmodded BTS, so I can compare with the features in BUG?

Yes, I just got a female Great Prophet. I did what you suggested AND deleted Fem CEO mod file.

I don't see how it can load the artwork without the Python to tell it to load, but OK...

Delete the \Modules\Female Units folder
Delete Assets\FUnit.fpk

Your game should be estrogen free. Enjoy.

I'm a kinder, gentler Lemon lately. And I've been infraction free for a while. I'm trying to keep it that way.

The short answer is to check the documentation but that doesn't really help in this situation as we are trying to document these items.

If you bring up the BUG options you can work through the various options in each tab to see what you can change. BUG is set up so that (nearly) everything can be turned on / off. You can get BUG to look exactly the same as vanilla BtS with these options.

One tip, if you hover over an option, you will get a help pop up. I am pretty sure that the help pop up for the scoreboard includes the 'WHEOOH' (we have enough on our hands) indicator (the red hand you mentioned above).

Edit: Also - with BUG, we are not trying to add anything new to the game ... we are just trying to gather the information that the game currently presents and making it more accessible. The WHEOOH information can be gathered by checking why a civ will not declare on another civ in the civ dialog / trading screen.

OK, so fiddling with the Scoreboard options I arrived to something that might look like the BTS scoreboard. Just to make sure that I start on the right foot, I attach the pictures for BTS and BUG for confirmation. The first one would be the BTS scoreboard and the second one BUG's. Can someone confirm that the first one is how BTS looks without BUG?

Doesn't look like. Apparently the WHEEOH indicator belongs to BTS.

I know. That's why I'm using it.

The first one would be the BTS scoreboard

Look at JC ... the last 4 items shown are definitely NOT vanilla BtS. They are all added by BUG.

To turn off the BUG scoreboard, open the BUG options and uncheck 'enabled' under the 'advanced layout' section and uncheck the 6 check boxes under the 'additional columns' section.

Or you could read the BUG wiki ...

• Advanced Scoreboard
• Scoreboard Options

 

[Alonshow]

Ooops, looks like I wasn't at my sharpest when I wrote that last post. Hope my next employer never reads it. Sorry about that.

Let's try again. I've unchecked the options for WHEOOH, attitude, worst enemy and number of cities. Hopefully the first one looks like vanilla BTS now (and the second like BUG).

Do I have it right this time?
