[Teaser] Civilopedia Index Page!

[fitchn]

Behold: The Civilopedia Index Page!

I'm hoping to release the beta of a mod that I have been working on for the last several months sometime this weekend, but this latest breakthrough simply couldn't wait!

There are still a few issues and optimizations that I'd like to work on, but expect to see it in the mod components sometime within the next couple of days!

If you'll notice, I had to override the 'Hints' page in order to create the index, as I cannot seem to find the script that creates the 'CivilopediaPageTypes' object; if anyone has any ideas or suggestions as to how to get around this, I'm all ears...

EDIT: The mod component is now finished and ready to use! Find it at http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=160126.

It is an index of ALL civlopedia entries (notice that the list contains buildings, units, technologies, leaders, promotions, civics, improvements, terrain types, wonders, resources, specialists, and religions, to name a few). Further, the tool tips display the accurate information for each, and clicking on each will take you to the relevant detail page of the civlopedia.

Do you know how to link a word in a civilopedia entry to another civilopedia entry?

For example: Germany invaded France during the Second World War.

Do you know how to do this?

Try this (in the appropriate CIV4GameText_Civlopedia_???.xml file):

Germany invaded [LINK=CIVILIZATION_FRANCE]France[/LINK] during the Second World War.

I was finally able to add an additional page to the civilopedia (after about another six hours of working on it). I've also implemented a few other misc enhancements (like larger icons and properly alphabetising items beginning with 'The').I'm still working on a few other misc enhancements and tweaks, but hopefully I will have something usable posted shortly.

You should combine that tech tree and unit tree pedia mods to make the ultimate pedia mod! Or someone should at least.

Hmm... interesting idea... I think I know which mods you are referring to, but I can't seem to find them anywhere...

Do you mind if I include this index page in my 'pedia mod? (Forum thread)

I think it'd be a great addition.
