The Python API is down...

[TC01]

Well, not down exactly. Up to CyGame everything's fine (or seems to be).

But when I just went to check the details of some CyPlot functions and found the CyPlot button not responding and tried to scroll down, I noticed that after CyGame::isTeamVote() it's all screwed up. There are some visible HTML tags or what I assume to be HTML tags, various weird formatting up until #206 (probably related to the visible HTML tags), and then everything is crossed out...

Here's a link for you to go see yourself.

My apologies if I'm reporting something already known or being worked on at the moment. I just noticed it now, so I don't know how long it's been like this.

Seems to work for me.

Seems to work for me.

Oh, I see what it was- I'm using Internet Explorer 8... I turned on Compatibility View and it worked again.

Never mind.

You managed to scare me, so I downloaded the whole thing. For safe-keeping.

A good idea. While the Civ4 API is hosted at SourceForge, don't forget the script that builds it at Google Code.

That one seems to point to the outdated API at Apolyton (?). Also, I don't quite understand what I'm supposed to download from Google Code...

I'm pretty sure the API linked to in the first post is the same as the one I linked in my post. Hint: they're the same URL. Someone at Apolyton wrote the original script to build the web pages (HTML) from the Python export and C++ code from the game.

I've hosted that script at Google Code to make it easier to update (though it is missing some stuff in CyEngine IIRC). Grab all of the files (use Subversion or get them individually since there are so few). The script is in Python.

Ok, I'm not quite following (once again) but now I'm thinking that I'm using the wrong API. Again.

There is a pretty steep learning curve to this programming stuff, that is for sure!

 

[EmperorFool]

Maybe if you provided a link to the API that you're using we wouldn't have to guess?

 

[Baldyr]

While I'm using this:
http://civ4bug.sourceforge.net/PythonAPI/

...your link was referring to this:
http://civilization4.net/files/modding/PythonAPI/

Maybe its the the same, but it strikes me as the one I stopped using awhile back.

...your link was referring to this:
http://civilization4.net/files/modding/PythonAPI/

The only place I can see this link is in your post. Color me confused. Both the OP and my post link to the first link you posted, the one that I host at SourceForge.

 

[Baldyr]

Go figure...

 

[EmperorFool]

Yes, as that page you posted says, the script at Google Code is based on the one that was used to generate the API originally hosted at Apolyton. I updated the script for BTS and hosted the new script at GC and the new API at SF.net. Sure, it would help to add the new link on GC, but I doubt anyone is finding the API via that Python script project at GC.

 

[Afforess]

I found the google code thing a few months back, so it's not impossible to find.

 

[EmperorFool]

All right, fine. I've updated the project page on Google Code with the link to the latest API at SF.net.

If anyone has any fixes or additions for the script, please don't hesitate to post here or email me.
