Quick Modding Questions Thread

So I turned to the AI again for help:


Well, I think I prefer Option B.



I think I only need to do the first part here because I have a BASE + WorldSize + Extend thing.
Am I right?

I'm still waiting for some reassurance/correction on this

 

[Mr Smith]

Yes I just wanted the ability to turn that part on or off as part of a mod.

There's always an option of making a module for that.

 

[Darkator]

I'm trying to make KFM for the second time and I don't know what I messed up, can someone explain to me what I messed up with this KFM?

Hello all,
.
The spiritual trait allows double production speed of temples. If I check civ4traitinfos, I don't see any reference to temples under the spiritual trait. I want to add monasteries and cathedrals to allow for double production speed. Where can this be done? What am I missing?

Look for ProductionTraits tag in CIV4BuildingInfos and CIV4SpecialBuildingInfos

 

[Leoreth]

In XML/Buildings/CIV4SpecialBuildingInfos.xml there is a <ProductionTraits> property, you should be able to replicate what is already defined for temples.

Hi! What to edit to make custom maps have more terrain bonuses? Like for example 4x more?

 

[Mr Smith]

It depends on if the map has it's own procedure for that, like Smart Map. Otherwise you would need to edit Bonusinfos.xml

Thanks for the answer. I tried changing <iConstAppearance>20</iConstAppearance> to 100 in CIV4BonusInfos.xml but I don't think it worked. Maybe there is minimal distance between bonuses in Python scripts generating map but that's beyond my skill.

You need iTilesPer, maybe iPlayer.

Can someone tell me what's wrong with this code, please?

I want to place Grand Canyon and Victoria falls next to rivers but they aren't placed. Everything else works.

iTilesPer worked. Thanks!

Anyone know what to edit to get more small rivers? Not those big wide as one tile but those between tiles.

 

[Mr Smith]

Anyone know what to edit to get more small rivers?

That's handled either by CvMapGeneratorUtil.py or by chosen mapscript. In Smart Map there's an extraRiverPct parameter for it, I also add extra river spawn triggers from mountains and hills in MapScriptTools.py.

Is there any non-SDK/non-dll way to enable airstrikes against the parked air units? If Domain Land and Sea can be targets why not Domain Air , when not airborne?
