Ah, thanks, knew that something was missing

I can't build bomb shelter while I do not finish MANHATTAN_PROJECT. I can do similar like this for some magic project and magic buildings.

Sure, that will work :yup:

Where is defined Nuclear weapon ban/unban?

SDK, I think.

Zlatko said:
When i finish MANHATTAN_PROJECT i can build NUKES, where i can change that, for example need some another project for nukes?

Sadly only possible for nukes, via ProjectInfos.xml, the line:

PHP:

<bAllowsNukes>1</bAllowsNukes>

If you want project A and project B before you can build nukes, easiest way out is set A as requirement for B.
Then B is the one that allows nukes.
Else use canTrain python callback.

Yes, possible, but would be totally overpowered, maybe even gamebreaking.
Should this be a victory condition, or something like that?

That's actually a good idea,I will introduce the "Utopian Victory".
But I first need a code and some instruction how to make the Utopia Project trigger the Utopian Victory.

The_J · Sep 6, 2012

mmhh...I'll give it later a try, if I don't forget it.
Can probably connect that to the other victory condition (eliminating a civ) which was requested some time ago and release it as a mod component together.

Thanks The_J

I don't understand Al thinking..
CIV4BuildingInfos.xml:

Spoiler :

Why Al doesn't build any wall :undecide:

. I noticed when for some buildings need more than 2 buildings Al don't build that building, Al build but much less (Maybe). Example: Library--> University (Al will build this), herbalist--> Apothecary--> Clinic (Al build but much less) WHY??? And when for some unit need some building, Al much less build that unit.

Statistic from one test playing Creatures in war:

Maybe just not enough time/hammers? Might be that the AI just thinks that they'll not be able to build that all, and concentrates on something else.
-> I'd try making the buildings cheaper.

Maybe, but FORGE and FORGE_INDUSTRY (req. FORGE) cost: FORGE=120 hammers, FORGE_INDUSTRY=250 hammers, and Al massive build this buildings, but Walls cost: 12, 25, 50, 75, 100 hammers and Al don't want build this.

The_J · Sep 7, 2012

mmhh...maybe the buildings are just not good enough? Not enoug bonuses?
Don't know :dunno:

why do I get CTD that are unhandled exceptions with a release dll, but not a debug dll?

I'm going to add an "Utopia Project" into my mod 2100.
It will be very costly,but it has many positive effects.
I will need codes for this:
-Removes unhappiness from all cities in the WORLD
-All AIs become friendly to the player
-Nobody can declare war on anyone
Would that be possible?
Thank you!

Seems you cannot remove unhappiness from a city. Would a ton of

also do the job?

The other stuff is more or less working. I just have a few problems with the extension of the victory screen for my second victory type, and would like to deal with that before releasing anything.
Edit: OH, screen problem fixed, that was easy

.
Now just have to think about a clever idea about how to load the correct data for that victory :think:

.

------------------
No idea about above, sorry.

platyping · Sep 9, 2012

1) Add a dummy building to each city that removes happiness
2) setWinner (TeamType eNewWinner, VictoryType eNewVictory)

The_J · Sep 10, 2012

1) messy, do not want
2) I said it was a problem with the screen, not the victory itself

.

platyping · Sep 10, 2012

Although... whats the point of adding all these benefits when the game already ends...

Thank you very much for your help,The_J!
What's the problem with the data?

Flavour

Not yours, the other victory.
The other one is that civ X wins if civ Y is destroyed.
Since I guess that for some scenario some people would like to add multiple cases there (X wins when Y destroyed, Z when A, B when C or D, etc), I think at the moment if there's not a more comfortable way to load the data.
Could make it read from XML, obviously, but have not decided yet.

stolenrays · Sep 10, 2012

XML COmmenting seems to cause strange behavior. Is that correct? Anybody know anymore than that?

kiwitt · Sep 10, 2012

Where can I find where the amount of culture "Create Artwork" is set ? - FOUND

EDIT: <iGreatWorkCulture>4000</iGreatWorkCulture>

Brael · Sep 10, 2012

I'm trying to turn off ships from being able to pillage. I've found the <bPillage> tag in the unitinfos.XML however when setting that from 1 to 0 it turns off pillage while also turning off blockade. Is there a way to only turn off pillage while leaving blockade?

I'm guessing there's another setting somewhere since transports can normally pillage but not blockade so the two actions shouldn't be completely tied together.

Also, after I turn off pillage and put the updated file on both computers I wish to play multiplayer on, and start the game (after clearing the XML cache) the computers don't recognize each other as having the same version of the game files. I'll get the *MOD* tag next to the name of a person even though the files should be identical. I realize the game is still playable with the mod tag next to someones name but I've found that it creates Out of Sync errors any time an action occurs that has been removed from the game on one machine but not the other. Is there a fix for this?

The_J · Sep 10, 2012

...you didn't modify the original files, did you?

stolenrays said:

That's correct. And it depends on the file. Some are parsed better without any problems, but in some files (like the different sound XML files) it can really break stuff.
Sadly no idea which files are all affected.
