Ruff's Cobbled SG Modpack

[ruff_hi]

I keep forgetting to fix that. You can get it to work by switching to the Specialists page and then back to the City page. Sorting will work for production, science, etc now. I'll look into this shortly if Ruff doesn't.

The HOF people fixed this sorting issue. It has something to do with the screen refresh options. It might be as simple as executing a screen refresh when you bring the initial screen up ... then again, it might not.

I've finished everything in my previous post minus the final idea. It involves many changes in CvExoticForeignAdvisor.py and a minor addition to IconGrid.py. Both reside in

[Custom]Assets\python\screens

These files work for the Warlords version only.

First make backups of your current versions (add ".bak" to each filename) to be safe. Next place the two attachments into the above directory and remove the ".txt" suffix.

PM me or post any comments/suggestions/bugs.

Hey, is it fairly easy for me to remove the Date / Time from my Autolog entries ([09-Jul-2007 19:53:16])?

Also, the turn count is always 0 (I'm assuming its the turn count):
Turn 190/0

There is currently no option for excluding / including that. You could edit the python file that includes that info and replace it ... look in the 'autologEventManager.py' and adjust this line ...

zCurrDateTime = time.strftime("%d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S")

You could just change it to ...

zCurrDateTime = ""

... and you should be good to go. Note, I think that line appears twice.

Also, the turn count is always 0 (I'm assuming its the turn count):
Turn 190/0

That is a bug and only occurs if you turn off the 'time' victory condition. It is on my list of fixes (when and if I get around to the next version).

Ruff: This cobbled modpack is the best modpack out there. The attitude icons and the exotic foreign leader are awesome. I hope you are looking into making, at least, those two things compatible with BtS.

I'm not planning to get BtS. So, the answer is no.

BtS has the Exotic Foreign Advisor screen (info, glance, trade, and tech) built-in. Things from Ruff's mod that I consider essential include

• Attitude icons
• Reminders
• Civ4lerts
• Raw commerce
• Improved Domestic Advisor

If I find some time soon, I'd consider packaging these together. The thing is, with limited time I'm unlikely to make anything optional or configurable (short of Civ4lerts which is already configurable) as Ruff has.

Well that's good news that the exotic foreign advisor is built into the game.

But somebody needs to make the attitude icons for bts!!!

I'm honestly rather surprised Firaxis didn't include this as well. It's such an easy yet neat change. If I can't get time for anything else, I'll at least do this one this week. I just hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes.

 

[DrewTate]

Yeah it also makes the game pretty convenient. All it takes is a quick glance to see how somebody is towards you.

Good luck to you if you take on that challenge this week. Coding and modding is all nonsense to me so I hope ya know what you are doing. Let me know if ya get it!

Emp ... I was hoping that you would take this project up. You seem to have more steam for this than me at the moment. The optional component is actually fairly easy and adds lots to the flexibility of it.

One item that I know a lot of people use is the logger, especially for succession games. It would be a shame to leave that out as the current game has no similar functionality.

Okay, I'd really like to do this -- my only concern is time as I am starting a new job and I tend to be a workaholic. NikNaks93 also wants an updated version of your mod to build on for his Visimod.

So I started by adding Raw Commerce and Attitude Icons to the basic BtS install to get my feet wet. My main question is advice on how to go about this. Some of the modcomps you use are starting to update to BtS, but in many case I think you've altered them yourself for your mod. Is that correct?

So, what do you envision will be easier: redoing what you did by merging all the modcomps myself, or trying to simply upgrade your mod for BtS by including others and porting the abandoned ones?

Can you give me a general idea of which ones you modified more heavily? I'd really like to keep the SGers happy, so I'm aiming to include the whole ball of wax. Any pointers up front would be greatly appreciated.

Someone posted an updated BtS GameFont_75.tga file with the icons to the Attitude Icons modcomp page here.

 

[DrewTate]

what does it mean decompress it? Just zip it out and put it in the folder?

I tried that stuff and it made all the interface in my games disappear. All i could see was the green end turn button and the year.
