Version 2.7 discussion

[vincentz]

Anyone knows how to change civs in midgame? The readme/civilopedia says ctrl+shift+L but it doesn't seem to work. Then I changed the globaldefinesalt. didnt work, then I checked the revolution.ini. It was already on ([ChangePlayer] Enable = True).

 

[Hyronymus]

Which version, vincentz?

 

[vincentz]

its the 2.7test2

 

[climat]

zappara said this.

Changed: Changing player only allowed when cheat mode enabled

 

[Arakhor]

You need to put the word "chipotle" somewhere, I believe.

 

[vincentz]

Thanks This makes it a LOT easier to test my mods.

Spoiler :

Cheatdialog

After applying "CheatCode = chipotle" in configuration-file, open console with ~ and use command "game.toggledebugmode".

With debugmode turned on you can press SHIFT+T to open CheatDialog to alter Gold and Technology

Maybe I just suck, but I have found Noble AI competent enough most of the time. Admittedly, if I play an industrious leader and start near stone, getting the early wonders (all of them) makes the game significantly easier. However, my builder ways sometimes leave my military lacking and I have lost games to AI attacks, particularly rushes.

Yeah, the medieval rush is the main challenge of the game. Maybe I'll try a game where I lose most of my major cities to the rush, then try to soldier on with only my colonies to increase the challenge...

Hello, in "v2.7test version 2" AI do not built cannon`s or artillery`s I think it`s because of new requirement building for siege weapon Can I turn off this requirement ?

 

[vincentz]

artillery doesnt have a building requirement, so thats not the problem. While catapults and trebuchets have. I think I've seen a AI catapult in 2.72, but to honest I dont remember. Been modding to much lately I guess

A seige workshop is needed for cataputs and trabs, and a cannon foundry is needed for bombards and cannon. To turn it off you would need to edit the XML. Its in the Unit XML look for the unit type and PrereqBuilding I think. Don't forget to back it up.

Hi Zap,

since the new path/road system (which I find great) I had the problem differ the road buttons, especially road and paved road as they are the same ...

I redone the first 3 buttons now using the ingame graphics and a bit artwork from myself. If you like them I would be happy to see them implemented in 2.7:

New Path Button

(BuildPath.dds)

New Road Button

(BuildRoad.dds)

New Paved Road Button

(BuildPavedRoad.dds)

Great pieces. I subscribe this request.

 

[DRJ]

Great pieces. I subscribe this request.

I second that as well!

 

[NBAfan]

I third the new road buttons!

 

[Arakhor]

I think they look nice as well, but ultimately it's up to Zappara of course.

 

[vincentz]

Looks good. What would also be nice was new keyboard commands. Example :

Path = <Shift-R>
Road/Paved/Modern Road <R>
EL-Track/Track etc <T>

Those look great, will add them in v2.71 patch... just uploading v2.7...

 

[Afforess]

Yah! 2.7! Time to install that patch and throw away my CD's.

 

[JosEPh_II]

Never throw away a CD! Ever Never ever! :shocked:

So now that 2.7 has WOC, can we use any of these modules here?
