Tech points

[Verzen]

I'm currently trying to alter a trait and name it "Ingenuity."
How can I make it so that trait will give the civilization 3 "tech points" per turn/per city under your control? Some civilizations just advance faster then others. =P

well unless there is a function in XML that allows a +x RP/city, then the only way to do it is with the SDK.

 

[Verzen]

SDK? where is the SDK located at?

You'll find all the info you need.

BTW, it's the C++ Source code to the CIV4GameCore.dll

You can easily do something like this via Python. I do not think it's a good idea however.

Look at the CvTeam object. You will find tech knowledge and research there.

I'm pretty sure this can be done with just the XML.

Yeah, you can do it with XML in a similar way to the way the creative trait works. I'd suggest copying the creative trait entry, and fiddling with the bit that referes to the culture change.

I just dont seem to understand where the beaker trait is for some reason. I looked up libraries and the only thing that looked like it "might" be the "beaker" is "assets" but...

In CIV4TraitInfos.xml

<CommerceChanges>
	<iCommerce>0</iCommerce>
	<iCommerce>0</iCommerce>
	<iCommerce>2</iCommerce>
</CommerceChanges>

This is for the creative trait. I think if you change it to:

<CommerceChanges>
	<iCommerce>0</iCommerce>
	<iCommerce>2</iCommerce>
	<iCommerce>0</iCommerce>
</CommerceChanges>

then it'll give you science instead of culture. It might give you gold, in which case try altering the top value instead...

Yeah TGA is right... I have edited that file myself for my mod... but couldn't remember the variables that are in it.

I do think it is the top value which would coinside with the economy advisor screen.

Research = x% (some #)
Gold = x% (some #)
Culture = x% (some #)

The x% would be the current setting you have the % modifier at, and the (some #) would be the total you are receiving per turn.
Basically the culture one shows up after drama. So I would assume that this is how it works for the variables that TGA mentioned.
