New update, version 4 added to OP.

With version 4 I have added game and map configuration details to the mod overview page in the Pedia. This includes:

• Difficulty, Speed, Disaster Intensity
• Map Script, Size, Temperature, etc
• Game/Map Seed

The mod installation information has been expanded and given its own page.

Next update will add more information to the Configuration Info section.

• Ruleset
• Currently alive Civilizations vs originally alive
• Currently alive City-States vs originally alive
• What % of the map is water
• Number of Natural Wonders
• Number and names of Continents

Trying to think of what else would be helpful and/or interesting to add.

Also, I've tested this on various rulesets and in scenarios, and it properly works with all of them.

Awesome work! That's exactly what I needed, thanks

The next version (version 7) I upload will have a new Civilopedia page called "Surveyor", which has extensive information about the game setup and map profile.

Version 7 has been uploaded to OP. Version 4 has been retained for compatibility.

With version 7 I have added a new page (Surveyor) which has extensive information regarding the map and game setup. All of the game setup options from the Advanced Setup screen are presented, as well as detailed information about the makeup of the map (Continents, Terrain, Resource, Features, etc). Additionally, YNAMP support has been added, although that will need to continue to be refined, and the list of DLC/Mods and Game Configuration summary details are reported to the Lua.log file.

See screenshots in the previous post.

Version 8 has been uploaded, which adds inactive mods and dlc to the Civilopedia, along with some other minor changes.

The mod has now been renamed to TCS Pedialite.

Currently working on adding largest deserts/mountains/etc lists and an option to have the Surveyor reflect global information or be limited to reporting information based on what you have visible.

How to make BCP and Pedialite work together.
Pedialite
1. Don't replace CivilopediaScreen - you don't need to. Basically remove CivilopediaScreen_Mods.lua.
2. Since you actually need to overwrite CivilopediaSupport.lua, then just overwrite it in <ImportFiles>
BCP
1. I bumped my LoadOrder to 200, so it loads after your mod.
2. I added a tweak that moves the icons a bit, so they all fit together nicely.
How it works.
1. BCP replaces main context because it adds all sorts of info to all screens.
2. It loads vanilla file which loads a) your CivilopediaSupport b) all pages - game, yours, mine

Thanks a ton! I really appreciate you going to the effort of figuring that out, and I will make those changes in my next update.

Version 9 uploaded!
-- Added compatibility for Better Civilopedia by Infixo
-- Added Largest Feature lists
-- Added UserConfig.sql file in mod folder to allow the option to only show map tile/resource/feature/etc information if it is visible (by default the Surveyor shows all information)

Awesome work, both of you! Thanks for making these compatible.
