Random Events

I still think the volcano events are one of the most impressive features of C2C. Great job!

Any chance we could get something (on game start Python?) to add the initial food bonuses for volcanos that are active at game start?

While it is possible and easy to do it will break scenarios so such a change needs to go into each map script instead.

Another issue emerged tonight. We got a problem with an event that came up as soon as we got cubism (not sure if that had anything to do with it) but it created a huge string of errors. Sorry... didn't keep the savegame to share as we just pushed through it since it wasn't going to stop our gameplay.

Also, the silkworm event has no text.

I just looked at the silkworm event, it runs just fine, text and all

Maybe this is just the SVN release I've got running at the moment, but currently the volcano events seem to alter terrain backwards? The eruption events leave behind a dormant volcano tile, while the 'volcano has gone dormant' event leaves behind an active volcano tile?

 

[ori]

you are quite right I have the features backward (as posted on the last page ) - I am in the process of altering that

Now the volcanoes dont even show up?


EDIT: My bad

 

[Sleeeper]

If volcano event occurs on rival territory and some improvements are destroyed, it anyways says "Your farm/mine/etc. is destoyed!" like it's my territory

That is an earthquake not a volcano event.

will need to look at which player it calls for the text (I did not change that from the original volcano event and that could only happen on your territory).

Those are standard civ4 text - now I could make new ones, but then would lose the text for languages other than english, not sure its worth it, will see...

I edited the cock fights event to give the to the chicken coop instead of the city.

I edited the music of gods event to now give +1 /turn to minor/major league stadium, speedtrack and fair grounds for a cost of 500 as second choice and to give +2 /turn, +1 and -5/turn to these buildings at a cost of 500 as the third choice.

placeC2CBonuses at the end of CvMapGeneratorUtil.py is called after generation on all C2C map scripts. So such code could be put in there.

Lots of Civ4 original texts have been replaced, and there are a TON of ROM/AND/C2C defined texts in the game (the MAJORITY of buildings, all goods, most resources, etc.) so worrying about translations is fairly pointless IMO at this juncture.

Good to know, 'cause I was working on a coral feature.

logic doesn't count
well, since Koshling insisted, I changed the text for both the improvement destruction and the resource discovery...

Also: changed the game (deer) migration event as follows:
now requires knowledge of scavenging tech (I hate having resources discovered that you cannot actually see)
now occurs in more games (active in 50% changed to 90%)
reduced likelihood (iweight down from 100 to 50)
now can recur

added more migration events (all the same prereqs and settings as the deer one):
horse migration (expires at equine domestication) on grass or plains
elephant migration on savanna or jungle
bison migration on plains
camel migration on dunes or desert
mammoth migration (expires at megafauna domestication) on permafrost, snow or tundra

changed the herbs event to require herbalism tech

will update the top of this thread when I have time to take screenshots...

Now i really like this change, nice touch.

bison migration on plains

Always wanted one of these, now I have and more. Thanks.

@ori

What are all the existing fire and crime related events currently in the game? Now that the crime and flammability values are being put in I want to know what we have already to work with and then go from there if we need more types of events to be triggered by buildings.

 

[Sleeeper]

<iPercentGamesActive>0</iPercentGamesActive> is set for volcano events trigger, doesn't that disable the stuff?

Also, how to raise up total events frequency?

you are welcome

will need to look through them (its 300+ events, so it may need a bit of time )

<iPercentGamesActive>0</iPercentGamesActive> is set for volcano events trigger, doesn't that disable the stuff?

that is for the original volcano event - I disabled it when I introduced mine. My events are in assets/modules/ori/ .
As for increasing frequency: you have two ways of doing that:
if you want to do so for the whole game you need to decrease this number in GlobalDefines.xml:

<Define>
		<DefineName>EVENT_PROBABILITY_ROLL_SIDES</DefineName>
		<iDefineIntVal>100</iDefineIntVal>
</Define>

the 100 means that the EventChance defined per Era is x out of 100 per turn.
If you want to increase it by era you need to go to \gameinfo\civ4erainfos.xml and change this setting for each era:

<iEventChancePerTurn>3</iEventChancePerTurn>

 

[Sleeeper]

Thanks for explanation, I just want to get more volcano events in later eras.
