Hi peoples,

I have a small question: In Lua I want to check, if an event is "ready" to happen, and then start it from code if so. So e.g. The event "feast" can only happen if the event "hunt" was succesful in the past few turns.
In the file "GameEventsTable.xml" there are several functions, that judging from name should do that, but I cant geht any of them to work (Player:IsEventChoiceActive; Player:IsEventChoiceValid...)

It tried this code:

if (player:IsCityEventChoiceActive(eventchoice) == true) then
print ("can be used")
player: DoStartEvent(event);

(with eventchoice and event being determined before this). Lua.log states : "GatherAndHunt.lua:178: attempt to call method 'IsCityEventChoiceActive' (a nil value)"

Any ideas for this? Thanx in advance!

There isn't a IsCityEventChoiceActive for player.

There isn't a IsCityEventChoiceActive for player.

Ok thanks for the reply. like I wrote: it sais so in the documentation of GameEventsTable.xml`?
Any other idea?

Is there any built wonders list? Where can I find in which city the X wonder is built?
Also I want to ask what happens to the gameplay if I don't select any victory type at the game start(because I like playing goal-free games).

@Inyah there's a difference between a city event and a player event (just called event). Probably only the lua function for player events exists, not the city events. This is how I interpret Azum's post.

Thanx! Actually according to the GameEventsTable-file there should be both (City:IsCityEventChoiceActive and Player:IsEventChoiceActive). But its fine: i found a workaround with looping through player:GetRecentCityEventChoices(), which works fine.

 

[hokath]

Aha right I have misunderstood.
It's your code

if (player:IsCityEventChoiceActive(eventchoice) == true) then

But as you say, it should be

if (city:IsCityEventChoiceActive(eventchoice) == true) then

Sorry if this have been asked.

Did anyone tried the last release (4.18.3) with the following mods?
Do they work?
- (7) VP Community Events (v. 8)
- (9d) Reforestation for VP v.5
- Improved City View (v 20) - this one has not been updated a long time, so I know it is (was) buggy
- InfoAddict (v 22)
- Jarcast's Extraction Outpost (v 2)

Thank you in advance

I think maybe Reforestation, Info Addict and Extraction Outpost? Only testing to know.

UU Hunnic Rider cannot be upgraded. Should that be addressed?

What's the range of land trade routes? Is it tiles, or total movement cost? I just made a caravan for two cities, and it wouldn't let me put the route between them.

The Horse Archer? Mine upgrade to Heavy Skirmisher.

It's based on movement. E.g. if there is a big river between your two cities and no bridge, it shuts down.

No, not Horse Archer, Hunnic Rider, it is a recon unit. By the way I'm playing VP 4.4.2

 

[hokath]

You mean the 4UC guy, the Tarkhan? Can you send a screenshot I'm lost lol

 

[frktest]

Actually the correct unit name is Hawk Rider, here the pics.
What it does mean 4UC?

4UC is a mod that adds 3rd and 4th Unique Components to all civs. you can find it on this forum, in Mods Repository.
Base game has 2 UCs for each Civ, for Huns in VP it's Horse Archer, and Eki. I honestly don't know where the Hawk Rider comes from, only thing i found on google is that it's a unit for some modded Mongolian Civ. I guess you have some other mod(s) installed, that are not compatible with VP

I am playing version 4.17.8 of VP. Whenever I click on an archaeologist, the game crashes to desktop. Does anyone know a workaround or experience the same?

I have been playing with Community Events, seems to more or less work fine, I mean there are a few things here or there in community events that haven't quite worked right for a long time but the mod seems stable and mostly functional save for a few specific civ events working slightly oddly.

I'm playing with all except the Extraction mod and have no major issues.

What I know of:
-One function in the Global Relations tab of InfoAddict is bugged though. I believe it's the AI attitudes towards other players. I don't know how to fix it and haven't been able to find help.
-Improved city view has a small glitch with yields numbers being shown to high when e.g. an event adds +1 Culture to Monuments, but it's only visuals - the corrects numbers still apply in the game and can actually also be seen on the mouse over tooltip on the building.
-I'm not entirely sure whether I made a bug fix or two to the events mod myself or not. It as concerning building classes that have been removed in CPP but not the mod and it might have been a previous version. I the mod still has these issues, you'll be able to tell by looking in database.log.
