[SDK MODCOMP] Unit Fuel Mod (includes Global Fuel)

[Grey Fox]

f

If you remove the need to return to cities to refuel, can u keep that version up for those of us who would like it. Also, is the fuel based on a resource like oil?

Of course, and yeah, you set the resource in the Global Define file. Atm it's BONUS_OIL, and the resource that gives the unlimited fuel promotion is BONUS_URANIUM. (For the sea units)

So theoretically I could change it to like BONUS_COW or IRON?

 

[Grey Fox]

That is correct.

Grey Fox,

hi grey fox,
i see your back online,

are you gonna do and ai usge of the fuel update any soon?
cause id really like to use this mod for my mod pack.

lamppost4
him
have you played this mod?
id really like to know the ai behaviour on this.

thanks.

 

[Grey Fox]

Not sure, I'll let you know.

I have not tried this (nor will I until next weekend) but I was thinking about using it to try something out with the colonization era ships.
If I wanted to create a new resource for the fuel (i.e supplies) and make it only available through building a building (is this possible), could I increase/decrease the amount of this resource made by the building per turn by how much cow/pig/fish the city has access to?

 

[Grey Fox]

Sounds reasonable.

 

[lamppost4]

Sounds reasonable.

So is that a yes that it is possible through xml?
Probably shouldve specified through xml in the question.

 

[Grey Fox]

It would require some python at least for the X amount of supplies per cow (give the city X amount of buildings)

 

[lamppost4]

Instead of using python to edit, could I just have multiple resources give fuel per turn? and would I do that by:
<DefineTextVal>
BONUS_PIG
BONUS_COW
</DefineTextVal>


How does one know how much fuel they would get from one oil source?

(edit) nevermind I figured it out the amount

 

[Grey Fox]

I don't think my code supports multiple bonuses to give fuel. I might add that support in the future.

If you could do that, that would be great.

What if you kept the refueling at cities but also created a feature/unit/promotion (such as an apc) that could refuel a vehicle while it is in the field, is that possible? Maybe a vehicle could give part of its supplies to a vehicle of your choice in a stack.

That's what I do in my Advance Wars mod, but I use the Fall from Heaven spell system to achieve that.

So then is that function going to be translated to this mod eventually?
And now I see where all these ideas came from being an advance wars fan myself.

(if you are wondering about all the ?'s, I am thinking about making a mod w/ this included, that is if I can stay motivated long enough...)

 

[Grey Fox]

I am not sure. If you are interested the FfH source is available in the Modding Fall from Heaven thread in the Fall from Heaven 2 forum. Although that requires c++ knowledge, and to make spells, some Python knowledge (but I swear python is quite simple once you get started).

Hi. I tried compiling your mod, and it does not work.

CyEnumsInterface.cpp(642) : error C2065: 'FUEL_CHAR' : indeclared identifier
CyEnumsInterface.cpp(642) : error C2228: left of '.value' must have class/struct/union type

There is also some follow up from CvGameTextMGR.cpp : FUEL_CHAR and FOREVER_CHAR are MIA.
My guess is, you missed a changed file in the upload. Perhaps CvEnums.h ? Below a list of the files present in your Source folder...

[Grey Fox]

Oops, yeah that seems about right. Sorry about that.

Here's a temporary solution till I upload a new version.
