Random events v3

[ArbogLi]

Random events v7​

A new mod where which add random events to the game. You have a chance of 5% more or less to have one of this events per turn. For now you can find events are:

- v1-2: get a free tile, population increase in one city or earn extra gold.
- v3: only can see the event of your empire, can loose gold and natural disasters happens.
- v4: can raze a forest, cities can get an extra amount of food and some minor bugs fixed.
- v5: can earn or loose research point, a damaged unit can get free experience and a city can loose food and can find new resources deposits.
- v6: a puppet or an occupied city can become yours, a city can be reduced to 1 population if the empire is really unhappy, can finish a production or loose all the production progress, can occur a tsunami (a lot of damage) and minor bugs fixed.
- v7: can grow a forest somewhere in the map, text changes and bug with added resources solved.

Known bugs

When you conquer a city and this city (f.ex. from a city-state) has get one tile with the "free tile event", even if the civ is defeated it continue being the owner of this land. (I tryed to fix it but I missend, if someone could help me..., follow this link to read about the problem thread)



Ideas for new random events are welcome (but not a hundred in one day, think that I'm human) or if you make a random event to add pass me and I will test an add.

If you don't mind, I'm going to take a look at this code later today when I have time... Maybe try to set it up in it's own Lua file (rather than overwriting the core file).

Feel free with the mod files

add some negative events too, disease (pop drop), flood/earthquake/tornado (building loss), improvement loss.

was thinking great person but that might be overpowered, maybe addition to gp counter instead. unit advance, free promotion/xp. diplomatic events good and bad.

 

[hgthechinese]

No reason to reinvent the wheel...Civ4 ROM had ...err.....hundreds (or maybe thousands?) of events...

Btw, would it be possible right now, before modders get DLL access, to have events that give players a choice rather than just "happen"? e.g., forest fire, 2 choices: lose the forest, or pay 20 gold and have the trees replaced.

 

[ArbogLi]

Buy is a bit diferent: all the events can't be re-created in civ5 (and I don't know all the events that someone create) and the gameplay is different to the last civilization, for this reason asking for ideas.

By the way... the v3 released!

 

[hgthechinese]

Definitely true. There were a lot of religion events, for example, and those would be obsolete in the current version of the game. However, just because we can just take over an old wheel doesn't mean we have to reinvent it...maybe look down the event list and pick 'n choose what you like/is possible?

BTW, here is a link of nice long list of events....should keep ya busy for a while

 

[Valkrionn]

Heh, you made a change that I myself made to the file, the "Only see your own events".

 

[ArbogLi]

Thanks hgthechinese, I'll look the events!

And by the way... there is not relligion... for now!! In units XML you can find:
- <Column name="SpreadReligion" type="boolean" default="false"/>
- <Column name="IsReligious" type="boolean" default="false"/>

@Valkrionn, was my intention to do it from the begining but I had have some problems with the IsHuman function, now are solved and this change is running ^^

 

[Opera]

Most likely a left-over from Civ4.

Those religion tags are also in the building.xml files

 

[ArbogLi]

@Edgecrusher: yep. They don't hide what will be in the expansions.

@Opera: it was a good idea and now we can't have the events, so we adapt a mod to the new game and enjoy it ^^

By the way: v4 released.

 

[hgthechinese]

ArbogLi, is there a way to modify the odds for events to happen? In my current game I had 3 random events happen to me so far---bankrupt, bankrupt, and bankrupt. IDK if it is just my luck, or maybe because of my situation I'm extremely prone to bankruptcy or something, but it is kinda annoying that nothing but "you just lost this much money" happen to me randomly

 

[Horem]

Any chance you can add in comment aroudn what you changed in the NotificationPanel.lua please? It will make merging with other mods that use this file alot easier.

@hgthechinese: In the NewTurn.lua (you can open with a simple text editor) you can find (I use a if-else... don't know why but I'm unable to find a switch for LUA)

function RandomEvent()

	--loop through players:
	for cPlayer_num = 0, GameDefines.MAX_CIV_PLAYERS - 1 do

		if (Map.Rand(1000, "Random generator, a chance of 5% to happens a random event") < 50) then

			--LuaEvents.CustomNotification(5,5,"Entered players loop","Generic");
			local pCurrentPlayer = Players[cPlayer_num];	--get next player

			--Select one of the events
			local random = math.random (7);
			if (random == 1) then
				addPlot(pCurrentPlayer)
			elseif (random == 2) then
				addCitizen(pCurrentPlayer)
			elseif (random == 3) then
				addGold(pCurrentPlayer)
			elseif (random == 4) then
				deductGold(pCurrentPlayer)
			elseif (random == 5) then
				disasters(pCurrentPlayer)
			elseif (random == 6) then
				Ffire(pCurrentPlayer)
			elseif (random == 7) then
				extraFood(pCurrentPlayer)
			end
			
		end -- First IF ending
	end -- Players loop end
end -- RandomEvent()

All is random (but you seem really unlucky), if you don't want the "Bankrupt" you must change:

elseif (random == 4) then
	deductGold(pCurrentPlayer)

for:

elseif (random == 4) then
	--deductGold(pCurrentPlayer)

The if the number 4 appears, nothing will happen (in this case, no money loose).

@Horem, if I'm not wrong in NotificationPanel.lua the changes are limited by "-- Mod" and "-- /Mod" in the source.

I did see that, did u happen to make the same changes as this mod?

From what I can see the changes look identical, going to go with it, and see.

Yep, you are right. As template used the Emigration mod... I think I didn't make any changes to the notifications in this Lua. In my opinion really useful.

 

[Baleur]

Most likely a left-over from Civ4.

Left-over? Wasnt Civ5 completely redone from scratch? (hence no old civ4 files)
I smell a "Beyond God" expansion early spring 2011.

 

[Valkrionn]

Eh. Yes and no. Was a long process; The earliest versions actually had square plots with every other row shifted slightly to approximate a hex setup.
