Set Religions from Game Start???

Formulapower · Jul 13, 2012

I am new to Lua and I need some help getting specific civs to start with a specific religion for my medieval mod. Does anyone have some code I can look at to figure this our...like I said lua is not what I do so I need as much help as possible.

Here is how far I have gotten but I can't get it to work in the game

Spoiler :

How is this going... I'm having no luck, myself. Keep us posted if you have progress.

Thanks.

Enable logging and check your log files, as this line is garbage

Code:

for iPlayer = 4, do

Edit: Also iCrusadePlayer and pCrusadePlot are redundant as they are declared as local scope within the SetupReligions() function but never used

Craig_Sutter · Jul 14, 2012

I don't believe there is a comma after the 4... at least if you follow the original code in into the renaissance.

Craig_Sutter · Jul 14, 2012

I may be lacking in knowledge of code, but where it says:

eBelief1 = GameInfoTypes["BELIEF_PAPAL_PRIMACY"];

and later,

Game.FoundPantheon(iPlayer, eBelief1);

Should not the belief in question be a pantheon belief...? It's a founder belief unless Into the Renaissance altered that.

I know you are following the code in Into the Renaissance, but perhaps they updated something in the xml files that changed some of the beliefs. I know they added a religion, for example, Orthodoxy... and perhaps they changed the beliefs as well.

Try the following, it's untested so I may have a syntax error or two in there

Code:

local pCrusadePlot = FoundChristianity():Plot()

-- Find the Egyptian player and found Christianity in their capital, returning the city
function FoundChristianity()
  for iPlayer=0, GameDefines.MAX_MAJOR_CIVS-1 do
    local pPlayer = Players[iPlayer]
    if (pPlayer:IsAlive()) then
      if (pPlayer:GetCivilizationType() == GameInfoTypes.CIVILIZATION_EGYPT) then
        local pCity = pPlayer:GetCapitalCity()
        CreateHolyCity(pCity, "RELIGION_CHRISTIANITY", "BELIEF_PAPAL_PRIMACY",
                              "BELIEF_HOLY_WARRIORS", "BELIEF_CATHEDRALS",
                              "BELIEF_INDULGENCES", "BELIEF_HOLY_ORDER")

        return pCity
      end
    end
  end
end

function CreateHolyCity(pCity, religion, pantheonBelief, founderBelief, followerBelief, followerBelief2, enhancerBelief)
  local iPlayer = pCity:GetOwner()
  local iReligion = GameInfoTypes[religion]

  -- Optional extra beliefs
  local iBelief4 = followerBelief2 and GameInfoTypes[followerBelief2] or -1
  local iBelief5 = enhancerBelief and GameInfoTypes[enhancerBelief] or -1

  Game.FoundPantheon(iPlayer, GameInfoTypes[pantheonBelief])
  Game.FoundReligion(iPlayer, iReligion, nil, GameInfoTypes[founderBelief], GameInfoTypes[followerBelief], iBelief4, iBelief5, pCity)
end

It's merely symantic interpretation - the game just has beliefs, it doesn't (seem to) care which ones you use for what

Craig_Sutter · Jul 14, 2012

Forgive the neophyte question, but do I enable the file by setting "import into VFS" to true? Or do I have to add it via mod properties?

whoward69 · Jul 14, 2012

VFS false, add it as an ingameuiaddin

This is the code I've been trying to use:

   	-- First pass to set religions
	for iPlayer = 0, 16 do

end

The error log shows the following error... which I've gotten numerous times. Don't know what it means, though.

Spoiler :

I'm going to continue to work on various iterations.

By the way: I've set it up as LUA\Religions.lua as an InGameUIAddin in the project properties page.

Also, it shows up in the modinfo file...

<EntryPoints>
<EntryPoint type="InGameUIAddin" file="LUA\Religions.lua">
<Name>Religion</Name>
<Description>Religion</Description>
</EntryPoint>
</EntryPoints>

Craig_Sutter · Jul 15, 2012

Still unable to get this to work... same error as previous post as indicated by Lualog... no idea what is wrong.

Used this code in my last attempt:

Code:

local pCrusadePlot = FoundChristianity():Plot()

-- Find the Swedusg player and found Christianity in their capital, returning the city
function FoundChristianity()
  for iPlayer=0, GameDefines.MAX_MAJOR_CIVS-1 do
    local pPlayer = Players[iPlayer]
    if (pPlayer:IsAlive()) then
      if (pPlayer:GetCivilizationType() == GameInfoTypes.CIVILIZATION_SWEDEN) then
        local pCity = pPlayer:GetCapitalCity()
        CreateHolyCity(pCity, "RELIGION_CHRISTIANITY", "BELIEF_PAPAL_PRIMACY",
                              "BELIEF_HOLY_WARRIORS", "BELIEF_CATHEDRALS",
                              "BELIEF_INDULGENCES", "BELIEF_HOLY_ORDER")

        return pCity
      end
    end
  end
end

function CreateHolyCity(pCity, religion, pantheonBelief, founderBelief, followerBelief, followerBelief2, enhancerBelief)
  local iPlayer = pCity:GetOwner()
  local iReligion = GameInfoTypes[religion]

  -- Optional extra beliefs
  local iBelief4 = followerBelief2 and GameInfoTypes[followerBelief2] or -1
  local iBelief5 = enhancerBelief and GameInfoTypes[enhancerBelief] or -1

  Game.FoundPantheon(iPlayer, GameInfoTypes[pantheonBelief])
  Game.FoundReligion(iPlayer, iReligion, nil, GameInfoTypes[founderBelief], GameInfoTypes[followerBelief], iBelief4, iBelief5, pCity)
end

I wonder if it is not finding the capital city for some reason? I'm not certain how it is flagged on the map... it has the palace, so I'd think that would be sufficient, but is there another flag it is looking for... some sort of make capital entry I should do in the worldbuilder?

Next, I'm going to add the map as an addin to see if that changes things.

By the way, I am running no other mods that use an lua file.

whoward69 · Jul 16, 2012

Start a game, load the map, fire up LiveTuner and make sure you can see the capital with

Players[{ID_OF_SWEDEN}]:GetCapitalCity():GetName()

Craig_Sutter · Jul 16, 2012

Thanks.

I'll try that when I get home from work.

Craig_Sutter · Jul 16, 2012

It returned the swedish capital... so that is working.

whoward69 · Jul 16, 2012

Zip the mod and attach it, it'll be quicker to look at the actual mod than second guess

Craig_Sutter · Jul 16, 2012

The art file is too large to let me upload an attachment here.

So this is uploaded to mediafire:

HTML:

http://www.mediafire.com/?t2d2d6fwqirvth8

Keep in mind it is a work in progress... the city states are not complete nor allocated (Sweden is a placeholder for them at the moment) and neither units nor buildings (barring palaces) have been allocated. Civilpedia entries are not complete and all UUs are not yet allocated.

I updated current civilizations to create the civs (due to problems using newly created civs on my map).

Thank-you in advance.

whoward69 · Jul 16, 2012

It's all in the logs

Code:

    </EntryPoint>

You'll also need to move

Code:

FoundChristianity()

to the end of the file, as it's not being called from another method

Craig_Sutter · Jul 16, 2012

It worked!

Thank you... You will get credited when I finish.

I will post the working code when I get home.

The line that was causing trouble...

local pCrusadePlot = FoundChristianity()

lot()

Seems unecessary as pCrusadePlot is never used in any function... Should I just delete it?

Part of that is what you need to move to the end of the file

Craig_Sutter · Jul 18, 2012

So I am able to establish religions using the above code...

Now, I wish to establish followers of said religions in the capitals of some of the other civs... this is the code I'm using.

Code:

function ConfucianismFollowers()

	--Establish followers of Confucianism
	local iReligion = GameInfoTypes[religion]
	local iPlayer = pCity:GetOwner()

	city:AdoptReligionFully(iReligion)
	
	for iPlayer = 0, 1 do
		local pPlayer = Players[iPlayer];
		if (pPlayer:IsAlive()) then
			if (pPlayer:GetCivilizationType() == GameInfoTypes.CIVILIZATION_DENMARK) then
			local pCity = pPlayer:GetCapitalCity()
				 pCity:AdoptReligionFully("RELIGION_CONFUCIANISM")
				return pCity
			end
		end
	end		
end

Now, I am getting no error messages in my log files, however, I suspect I'm somehow getting a null value. Any advice on what I am doing wrong?

Keep in mind I'm new at this... I've tried many variants of above, and I think this one is my best attempt... but still no success. I've looked to the medieval scenario and the successful coding done previously in this thread for my inspiration, however, I've failed.

Help appreciated.
