Alpha5 Release
To Do:
Unit Art: (whatever clanky can bring together we can talk some specifics about this)To Do:
Misc. Additions:
Anything that reveals it self to be really necessary as Alpha5 is built to include everything from A4.
UI Work:
With Archids Ultimate UI in place, we need to make the whole thing as gosh darn pretty as we can!
1. BG Art:
Platy gives us the ability to add unique art for screen backgrounds, he has an option for era and civ. Right now I am thinking of just having 1 bg, that would be our Fallout BG for all screens. This is mostly for the advisor screens I think. (Which is all those screens accessed by buttons along the top of the hud. Tech Tree, Civics, etc.)
Also fixing and updating screens for the HUD, I have added in the some. This all Still needs to be adjusted to get the various buttons and boxes in good places to make the whole thing look 'swish'
2. Boxes and Text:
[This is mostly done, there are still some 'red bits' that need removing/changing. On the whole though this is now part of the 'make it pretty' work, rather than 'I can't read it' work.]
3. Modify xml to get the most out of Platy Pedia:
Platy pedia adds a lot of visual information for things like building and unit chains, fix the xml so that these look neat and helpful.
4. General Pretty:
Making everything look as purty as we can!
Go back to fury road, and add in all the art work to change Culture to Security, along with Text.
5. Test, Test, Test:
Make sure there are no nasty surprises lurking.
XML Work:
Story Events:
Sort out the stats for all the Steve Event Objects
Content Work:
With all of Archid's new additions and methods of handling old functionality, there is lots of work to do in building content into a lot of these features, and re-entering old concepts using the new functions.
Including:
Dynamic Traits:
The whole thing needs to be built including a bunch of trait, effects, and gain/losses. (made First pass using existing traits)
Units:
Add alternate Upgrade for militia (partisan not available to V Factions)(may not change this... if they can capture a village they should then have the upgrade available when stationed in that town.)
Reapply missing Civic Requirements
Invetigate AIweights for units, the AI seems to favour some strange weaker choices. (At least at a glance.)
Fix Sentry bot button
Change Advanced Units, needs right prereq buildings. (Vertibirds, Vehicles, Power Armour)
Probably a whole bunch more I can't remember!
Promotions:
Improvements:
Same again, New tags and functions.
Some effects from Civics (not sure where these are handled yet.)
Civics:
Same again, reapplying some python effects to new tags.
Buildings:
Same again, lots of new tags.
Tech Benefits
Investigate Leaderhead AI against building flavours and AI weights, some factions seem to go straight for gold process, rather than constructing buildings first...
