Random Events

[civ_king]

i wish to compile a list of events in this MOD because it would be quite useful

reserved for future use

Reserved for future use 2

Great idea! I don't think this information is available anywhere right now. Maybe make it a sticky or something in your sig file (like xienwolf's) as it will change periodically.

 

[xienwolf]

Oh I am sure it'll get added to my sig quite quickly

I am happy that someone else is doing this I am still a couple months away from placing a list of events in the manual, but I would enjoy doing it at some point.

 

[civ_king]

so as soon as i can get information i will post the event
PS i got the obelisk inscriptions 5 times in 10 turns Mammon FTW

I got an event about a rich woman who was (presumably) murdered by way of a hammer to the back of her head and you could choose to arrest the husband, the butler, or the houseguard, or release all 3 of them. I chose the wrong option (not saying which!) but I think this may have been a quest??

If so more Sherlock style quests please!!!

 

[smurven]

Personally I'd rather not know. Random events are more fun if you dont know what they are or what the outcomes could be. Not that that should stop you, i just wont read the list.

You could start with the Game Text in the XML.

 

[civ_king]

that is one of my issues i do not understand the XML very much.
so if some 1 could go into the XML files and post, i would be very grateful
PS Xienwolf maybe you could add it to your game manual

 

[Mewtarthio]

Go to wherever you have the mod stored (by default, this should be C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Fall from Heaven 2 031) then open Assets\XML\Text\CIV4GameText_FFH2.xml

Now, search for "TXT_KEY_EVENT" to get the text of every event in the game. That'd be useful to make sure you've got everything.

 

[civ_king]

hehehe i tried copying it to Microsoft word and my comp crashed
i retried and when i went 2 save it, it froze
how do i upload a file

 

[xienwolf]

I had thought you meant that you were going to do the grunt work of going through the XML, not just requesting the information

I will add it to the manual eventually, but it is going to be the LAST thing added, because many events are still to come, and many are not working right yet. Plus at least half the people on the forums would rather NOT know what the events results/secrets/whatnot are in advance

Don't open XML with Word, especially the UnitInfos and the GameText files. They have some characters that Word doesn't like, and causes it to crash. Use Notepad instead.

 

[civ_king]

so i have the data in Notepad (thank you xienwolf for the info) and now i would like to know how to post it

 

[xienwolf]

Best way is to type it all up and convert to PDF, then use the upload system for the forums to provide it to the community.

 

[civ_king]

ok... sorry but it is a very longggggggggg list so i will upload it in just english (still in the raw)

 

[xienwolf]

It isn't really worth uploading it raw. Everyone who has downloaded FfH has a copy of the file in their directory as well. Thus the only benefit is if someone weeds out the useless tags in each event and translates the rest to detail precisely what the choices & effects would be.
