I fixed it, and I'm an imbecile. Let's just leave it at that, shall we?

 

[maurcus]

how do you make a ai tournament (ai vs. Ai vs. ai)?

 

[Zlatko]

I want to do this:

and this is .py file, what i must to change to expand this?

 

[Lib.Spi't]

self.HEADINGS_TOP = 0
self.HEADINGS_BOTTOM = 220
self.HEADINGS_LEFT = 0
self.HEADINGS_RIGHT = 260
self.HELP_TOP = 20
self.HELP_BOTTOM = 610
self.HELP_LEFT = 290
self.HELP_RIGHT = 950

try increasing this number...I say this with no specific understanding of this specific screen file, but I have played around with a few, and although the format is somewhat different, I think this may increase the size of the box...

Mostly this sort of thing involves lots of trial and errpor to find the specific bit of code you want!

 

[Zlatko]

I changed self.HELP_BOTTOM = 810 and i can't see any changes all is similar like before.

Hmm... how do you add a new game option?
When I tried adding a new one to CIV4GameOptionInfos.xml...
If I add it to the top of the list, the new one appears but the last default BTS option "No Espionage" does not show up.
If I add it to the bottom of the list, then the new one doesn't show up.

In most dlls, adding a game option also requires compiling the dll after adding the option to the game options list in enums.h. AIAndy did some work to make it possible to only add to the GameOptionsInfos.xml file in C2C but I still add it to the enums as a matter of habit.

 

[platyping]

Ah sad then thanks
Don't wanna touch SDK just for simple mod comps.

 

[CaptainLost]

Okay, I have a question, so here goes...
I've gotten into changing the default religions of civ IV. I got all the XML done, and even the buttons changed, and the movies, but the game still shows the old buddhism, christianity and such symbols in the cities. I found a TGA file with the old religions on it, but if I change that at all, the game crashes. Anyone know how?

 

[Lib.Spi't]

You have to be really careful with that file, I think you have to get the sizes and positions just right. Look in the mod utility section here, there are some tools that people have made to help mod it.

 

[CaptainLost]

Sweet! I did what you said, and Asaf's Game Font Editor is absolutely perfect. Thanks!

 

[CaptainLost]

Except it crashed again...dang...
Assets/res/Fonts/ is the right folder, right?

 

[The_J]

Yeah, right folder.
With what files did you work? With your already changed ones, or with the originals?

 

[CaptainLost]

Second time I was working with the originals. I'm going to try something real quick--one minute.

 

[CaptainLost]

Darn it, now it's just rejecting the normal unedited game files.

 

[The_J]

Then you slowly have to take everything out what you've edited (just be renaming the files, not by deleting them), and see at which point it doesn't crash anymore.

 

[CaptainLost]

All right...will get back to you on what happens.

Hi,

I would like to solve a problem I´m very curious about. My mod is working fine with the Mapscript smartmap.py. But when I try to use one of the standard-mapscripts (f.e. continents, maze) the initialization freezes and doesn´t finish.

What could be the reason for a behaviour like that? What could I do to isolate or identify the problem? I´ve really no clue.

Thank you for your help.

Is there a tutorial on UV mapping with models? I thought Ive seen one before but I can't seem to find it

It seems to be crashing if I have a /res folder in there at all. Is that normal?
